About this property

Spacious one-bed apartment with shared pool, free WiFi, garage

Sleeps 2 plus baby. Quality 1-bed first floor apartment in a modern,secure complex with a cobbled courtyard and a relaxing swimming pool.

Set in the quiet back streets of historic Tavira and surrounded by typical Algarve houses, it's central location allows you to leave the car behind and immerse yourself in the local atmosphere by walking through the narrow cobbled streets, peering through open doors to see a secret courtyard or visiting small shops for their locally produced products.

At night Tavira is a bustling city with a multitude of restaurants on either side of the river providing a variety of cuisine. During the summer months, in the main square, you can pass away the late evening hours watching the live shows, or listen to the music whilst enjoying a cool drink at one of the al fresco cafes. Tavira accommodates all tastes and styles throughout each season and the apartment is ideally positioned to meet your needs.

The apartment is only 2 minutes walk to a bar and café, 5 minutes to the market for fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables and only a few minutes walk to shops, restaurants and the riverside.

Set in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, Tavira has retained a lot of its old character and avoided mass tourism. As it is not solely a holiday resort, it is still a good place to visit in winter. It is ideally situated for exploring the whole Algarve and also Spain (30 km away). There are 6 golf courses within a 20km radius, including Benamor (4km), Quintas Ria and Cima (7km). Take a ferry to Tavira island beaches, hire bikes and cycle old tracks or walk for miles on empty beaches.

The apartment has a living/dining room with sliding windows which open onto the balcony which catches the sun all year round. It overlooks the pool, the roofs of traditional houses and the copola of São Sebastian church.
There is a dining table with four chairs, TV, video player and a new sofa which converts into a double bed.
The kitchen, overlooking the street and traditional roof tops, is at the back and is fully fitted including washing machine and dishwasher.
The bedroom also overlooks the quiet street and has a double bed and a range of fitted cupboards. The small balcony catches the early morning sun.

Bel emplacement
Très bel appartement, grand, beaucoup de rangements. Tel comme décrit dans l’annonce. Emplacement tranquille, près de tout: restaurants, épiceries, pharmacies, lunettes, endroit touristique, etc; tout se fait à pied. Ascenseur, stationnement souterrain, rien ne manque. Nous sommes arrivés tard et fatigués, il y avait de la nourriture pour nous dépanner (pain, lait, beurre, fruit…) nous l’avons très apprécié, cela nous a évité de sortir pour faire ces achats. Nous restons deux semaines supplémentaires. Â revenir sans hésiter.

Spacious and very clean!
My spouse and I stayed here with a friend who slept comfortably on the pullout sofa. With doors between each room there is lots of privacy. Rooms are a good size. Communication with owner was excellent right from the time of booking and check in process with Olga the caretaker was very was simple and straightforward. We loved the simplicity of Tavira after spending time in the cities. Excellent food, very friendly people and a great place to relax. Thank you Sylvia and Mike!!

Lovely apartment
Lovely apartment in a gated residential area. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need - great selection of cookware and utensils, tea, coffee, sugar, oil condiments etc. Spare bedding and pillows/duvets in the bedroom and cupboards in the hall held everything else you could think of. Sewing kit! Body lotion! A true home from home. We appreciated the secure garage parking as well. The balcony with chairs and loungers was a great place to relax with a glass of wine. Really enjoyed our stay

Just back from 9 night stay . The apartment is immaculate and the location is excellent. You don’t need a car as can walk to a variety of supermarkets and the local food market . The ferry boats to the beach are 5 minutes walk and the castle ruins the same . We took the train from Tavira Station which is walkable from the apartment to the border town of Vila real de San Antonio and hopped on the small ferry across to Ayamonte in Spain for the afternoon. Both towns lovely and half way over the river your watch goes forward 1 hour . We fell in love with quaint , beautiful Tavira with its pavement cafes/restaurants and gelato shops . We found the local residents very friendly. We will definitely be back .

Lovely apartment
The property was exactly as described on the website. Everything was very clean. Kitchen had everything you could need. There was lots of information provided about the apartment and the town. The property is very well located in Tavira, close to everything but yet on a quite residential street. The owners were very easy and prompt with communication. We would go back!

A great apartment!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was very well thought out with many extras included like things to take to the beach with you. The bed was extremely comfortable, it was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the location was perfect. We would certainly love to stay there again if we return to Tavira! There was a bit of an issue with the TV near the end of our stay that wasn’t able to be fixed while we were there but that didn’t deter from our enjoyment of the apartment.

Great location in downtown Tavira.
This property is within the old town of Tavira -- very walkable location. The apartment was as described and quite comfortable. A car would not necessarily be needed, but I had rented one, and the apartment building had underground parking which was great. There was a problem with the television (it wouldn't turn on) which was not fixed during my week-long stay, but I found lots to do without watching TV. However, if I had had a grandchild with me, no TV might have been an issue. Generally, this is a great property in a prime location.

Everything you need for a stay in Tavira
Not one problem! The apartment was in a great location within a few minutes walk to the river with cafes, restarants, stores and grocery store. The property was well maintained and we loved the landscaping and all the greenery in the courtyard as we sat on the balcony enjoying our morning coffee. Sylvia was great to deal with and very flexible when we asked to extend our stay an extra day. She got back to us quickly and offered a beautiful welcome basket upon our arrival. Check in/out process with Olga went smoothly. The apartment had lots of space, a lot of storage room for our luggage and clothes, a well equipped kitchen and the bed was super comfy. Tavira was a great jumping point to explore the area and buses and the train are about a 15 minute walk away. We got to visit both S. Antonio D. Real and took the 10 minute ferry over to Spain. The ferry to Ilha de Tavira ( the beach) was quick and easy and there were still plenty of restarants open on the beach to enjoy lunch. The beach is gorgeous and at this time of year only a handfull of people as you walk down the miles and miles of sand. Overall we had a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend staying at Sylvia's apartment.

Lovely Break in The Algarve
We came to relax in the context of a small city. Tavira is ideal. Our apartment was spacious and spanned the building, so the cross-breeze made us hardly need the A/C. The gate access code changed mid-stay, so if your code does not work, ask your owner for the new one.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvia Dean

Host profile image
We first visited Tavira in1982 with our young children and after returning many times decided to see if it was possible to visit without using a car. It is! As our home in the UK is in a small village where a car is needed for everything, to be able to walk to shops, bars and restaurants is a delight.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this apartment at the first viewing. It is well built and equipped, secure, and the position is so convenient, within easy walking distance of shops, a variety of restaurants and bars. We have furnished it as we would our own home, to be comfortable and welcoming . Because the development has permanent Portuguese residents, there is always someone around, even in the winter -which is when we mostly visit. We feel at home in Tavira, the local people are all so welcoming and friendly.

What makes this property unique

We like to sit on the balcony looking at the local house roof tops and Sao Sebastian church. We see birds swooping down to drink in the swimming pool and watch the bats come out at dusk.
