We wanted a place to stay for 3 weeks to enjoy the town, sunshine and day trips. House is central to everything. We weee able to cook lots of meals as kitchen is well set up. The house is dark as it is surrounded by buildings. You need to be comfortable opening the shutters on the ground d level.
We enjoyed our three night stay at Jose’s place in Tavira. We arrived at the train station and contacted his co-host, Diana to let her know we would meet her at the townhouse. She was just leaving a supermarket a block away and generously offered to pick us up! She showed us around the place, which looked just like the photos. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was easily walkable to anywhere in Tavira. We had a comfortable three nights. I highly recommend staying here - you won’t be disappointed.
Jolie maison, très bien équipée.
Un plus pour les petites attentions comme sel, poivre et autres produits alimentaires, produits ménager et pour la douche, très rare voir inexistants dans les locations. Chambres agréables et confortables.
Un bémol pour les extérieurs, la terrasse est vraiment très petite et complètement murée, aucune vue. Pas d'emplacement pour la voiture donc quête journalière et payante. Impossible d'ouvrir les volets directement placés sur la rue à hauteur d'homme, un peu frustrant de rester toujours dans une semie obscurité heureusement qu'il y a le petit patio. Un des toilettes inutilisables...
Mais ces détails ne nous ont pas pas empêché de passer d'excellentes vacances.
Merci au propriétaire pour sa gentillesse et réactivité, par contre l'accueil de l'agent très
expéditif :-(eeexpédMerci la clim !!!
We were 4 seniors and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in Jose’s house. We could walk everywhere. The house was clean, nicely decorated and equiped with all the amenities you could possibly want. It is certainly one of the top vacation rentals we have had. The only negative is that you can’t park a car at the unit. We knew that it in advance and took Jose’s advise on where to park, which worked out well and was less than 5 minute walk.
Would highly recommend.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the townhouse. The location in the centre of Tavira was unbeatable: everything we could want access to was within a 15 minute walk. Very comfortable too.
Beautiful and well appointed house, absolutely charming, in a prime location close to everything but just off the heavily traveled paths. 100% walkable. Paid day parking (9am - 7pm) right in front, free after/until. Free parking available within 3/4 minute walk to near/around Sao Francisco church. Owner/manager easy, helpful, and accommodating. Impeccably clean. Great showers. Very cool patio space with spiral stairs up to rooftop 2nd patio. Price was right. Highly recommend this house. Will absolutely be our home in Tavira whenever I visit so just make sure you don't go at the same time as we do!
Very private yet seconds from the center. We loved the rooftop terrace with the view of a stork's nest. Jose and Diana were most accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. We stayed 5 nights and the townhouse was equipped with everything one might need. Loved it!

Jose’s place is the perfect location to explore Tavira, centrally located with everything within walking distance. Clean, well equipped and very quiet, we enjoyed our 3 nights in this property.
This was a wonderful stay. I got lost driving into Tavira from Lisbon but that was just a lack of familiarity and probably underestimated the travel time by not including time for gas stops and a snack. The setting was excellent and the apartment was comfortable and charming. Jose was excellent, informative , and accomadating even though offsite. I would recommend this as a place to stay to anyone!
We enjoyed the location very handy to bridge, ferry, castle and shops. Roof terrace quant but no view. The property was clean and very lovely decorated. Would highly recommend only issue we had was finding coffee pods that fit the coffee maker but we made do with instant. Diana met us and was very helpful and pleasant.
This cute apartment sleeps 4 comfortably and the kitchen living area was fully equipped for everything we needed. Within seconds to everything restaurants and pharmacy and minutes to edges of downtown. Only 2 things that hung us up - there is no parking at the house so we had to move the car around; and, the hot water in the showers had one temperature - hot. It didn’t seem to be possible to adjust it. These things should not keep you from renting this outstanding property, just good to know.
The apartment is absolutely perfectly placed with everything at a 5-10 minute walking distance. It's in a cute side street, right off the main street in the old part of Tavira!
My girlfriend and I only had 1 issue with the place overall.. and that was the mattress. it's a bit dated and still has springs which meant we didn't get the best rest after lots of walking, and woke up pretty sore.
We couldn't have asked for a better place & host, but we hope they can upgrade the mattress for the next time or next guests! :)
Fuimos cuatro amigas ahora a finales de junio, con cierta edad y queríamos comodidad, que fuera céntrico y fácil de acceder a zonas de compras, ferry etc. El apartamento tiene todo eso y mucho más, realmente nos encantó a todas y su propietario super amable en todo momento.
Vacaciones para repetir
I had a great stay for one week at this propery. Both Jose and Diana were a pleasure to deal with. The accommodation was so clean and fresh on arrival. I couldnt believe how imaginatively it has been modernised. Very comfortable.
Toplocatie, alles in Tavira op loopafstand. Prettig contact met eigenaar, vriendelijke ontvangst. Dakterras perfect in de ochtend en avond bij volle zon te warm. Betaald parkeren voor de deur, op 5 min. lopen gratis. Fijn huis met alles er op en er aan.
We loved every moment of our four-day stay in Jose’s home!!! Perfectly located, perfectly clean, and plenty of room. It really felt like home, not a sterile vacation rental. The well equipped kitchen was a nice bonus!!
The property was exactly as described.
Very conveniently located and had everything you could need.
We had a very local and unplanned issue which caused us some incovience during our stay.
Once we informed Jose about it he done everything within his power to sort.
His local hostess was less helpful, but as mentioned above once Jose got involved it was resolved as best he could.
The issue I believe is now resolved and anyone looking at this property should know with confidence that the owner is an honest and very honourable landlord
We rented Jose’s apartment in Tavira for 12 nights and enjoyed every minute. The apartment is very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, nice living area and updated bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable as well, although the pillows were a little small for our liking. The apartment is an easy walk to everything in Tavira. We had a car and used the apartment as our base to explore the Algarve. The outdoor space was perfect for grilling the odd fish and chicken dish. We would definitely stay at this property again.
We can't praise this wonderful property highly enough. It is immaculate throughout and equipped with everything you might need. The roof terrace was great on sunny mornings and the location is fabulous-just a 2 minute walk to the numerous bars and reataurants in this lovely town. Highly recommended!!
This apartment has been renovated nicely and is in an excellent location very close to town center. In our minds, it's the little things that made it okay instead of excellent: we had a few complications with the person responsible for checking us in and the floors were dirtier than we would have expected. This is the 4th apartment we've stayed at in Portugal, but the only one we experienced a sign asking us not to flush toilet paper down the toilet. But again, it's a nice facility with modern conveniences. Communication with the host was excellent, very responsive. In fairness, we did not bring up any of these issues during our stay since we did consider them minor, so he did not have a chance to address.
We had an amazing stay in this amazing house!! It’s location is perfect, right in the heart of town. You can walk everywhere. The house is adorable. My sister and I loved it. It’s super clean and has everything you need!! I definitely recommend this house!! Thank you so much!!
A lovely, tastefully renovated home, providing everything one needs for a relaxed holiday in Tavira. Just perfect! I would definitely recommend this property for singles, couples and families.

Why they chose this property
My family love Tavira. For some time we have spent holidays and weekends in Tavira. In 2004, we bought a little private home just in the centre of Tavira near the Gilao river, the bridges (the "Veneza" of Algarve), the churches, the beaches, the mountain, etc.
What makes this property unique
We enjoy whilst staying at the property, namely, convenience of the property and centrality (just to go to Spain/Sevilla).
