Incredible place and location. Christine (our host) was fabulous. She welcomed us personally and had wonderful suggestions and recommendations. We enjoyed this roomy apartment and its amenities. Great views of Bishops Square off small balconies. Walkable to everything.

Thank you for your positive and kind comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, it was a pleasure to host you.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment! Christine was responsive, easy to communicate with and met us for check-in. The location of the apartment is great as it’s within easy walking distance of everything in town. Bishops Square is a lively area which we loved. If you feel like it’s too noisy, you can shut doors and windows and mute the sound. The apartment isn’t fancy but had everything we needed, including beach towels and beach umbrellas. Kitchen seemed well-stocked although we didn’t use it much. Be aware there are several flights of stairs and no elevator so probably not a good choice for people with mobility issues or a lot of luggage. Tavira is a charming little town!
Everything from the check in to check out was perfect and easy.
Christine met us at the property for check in and spent time to show us around and chat to us about the nearby attractions and offer recommendations. Throughout our stay we received helpful messages regarding the high tide and taxi numbers. There were such thoughtful touches in the property from fresh fruit, bread, pastries and milk on the arrival day to toiletries and bath robes.
We just couldn’t recommend this property and host enough. We were visiting Tavira to look at wedding venues and thanks to some great recommendations we found two of our four short list from Christine’s recommendations alone. We just can’t thank them enough.
You can’t get more central for location, just brilliant and such a clean, beautiful apartment.
Can’t wait for our next stay.
