Thanks Maya for a great stay!

Very relaxing stay at this very eclectic house. All was as described in the house description. Communication with Maya was excellent. The garden area and particularly the upper terrace were great. Loved it. Can recommend wholeheartedly.

Unique and relaxing

If someone asked me to describe Old Town Tavira I would let this house do the talking for me. A beautiful, clean quirky dwelling built through old castle walls. The house itself is traditional and unspoilt , it has everything you need and incredibly comfortable beds. The Garden!!!! Wow. Shelter from the sun under ripe lemon trees or take to the roof terrace for some sun and views of churches, castles and a convent now a hotel. You can reach the river on foot in under 10 mins at a gentle pace and Lidl in same time in opposite direction. Quiet, relaxed, tranquil and unpretentious, I honestly felt like a local while I was there. Our host Maya was incredible from the moment we arrived until the second we left, thank you Maya

Very enjoyable stay at a large traditional but modernised property

Starting with the initial contact, then the booking, the lead up to check in and during the whole stay, the communication with the hosts was first class. The description of the property is very accurate, we were provided in advance with lots of information, ideal especially for those who are new to Tavira. The location is handy for exploring in all directions, close to a wonderful bakery (get there early!) and 10 minutes walk to Lidl. A stroll to Tavira, 5 minutes to restaurants, bars and cafes. The house (actually, 2 joined length-wise) is very spacious and has 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 relaxation areas. Well-equipped kitchen, good wifi, lots of books, games, CDs, musc player, TV. We did not get to use the garden, due to the weather, but rest assured that it will be wonderful in the sunshne months. Overall, 5 stars. Thank-you Maya and Mike.

Quirky, adequate, and a great outside space

The communication with Maya was great and she was very prompt when we reported a faulty kettle. The location is great and the French bakery almost next door is fantastic. The accommodation is fine but we personally would have preferred a bit more finesse. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen equipment was enough. I would have liked to have had proper cushions for the sunbeds on the roof terrace and maybe for the chairs in the garden but the outside space was great. An iron would have been a bonus but in fairness it wasn't included in the equipment list on the booking website so I couldn't expect it. I found the lack of ventilation in the main bedroom an issue despite the fan that gave a gentle breeze. That however is probably a personal thing as my husband had less of a problem with it.

Dear Wendy thanks for your comment. We apreciate that you liked the house and the garden and the equipment. Sorry that you have been missing some finesse. We did some embellishment works the last month and would hope that you apreciate it. As we we allways try to offer a resonable cost performance rate we are not offering luxury but everything you need for a good and comfortable stay in the Tavira Townhouse. About the temperatures we recommend to read out guidance for the summer time to refresh the house. All the best

Tavira Town House

This rental was disasterous.The property was damp, cold, and draughty.Only two of the three bedrooms meet Portuguese 'Alojamento Local' regulations, the central, 'Budda' bedroom having no window. A request for the registration number went unanswered.The rear bedroom, we were told, had a leak which had been fixed prior to our arrival. By day 11 it was producing 1.2 lt of water per 24 hours in the small dehumidifer provided. A black mould had started to grow on the ceiling and over the window and a white fungus was growing on the inside of the external bedroom wall.The owner cleaned these off. We advised we couldnt continue living in the property and would leave after two week. We requested a refund for the time unspent which was not forthcoming. An alternative property many miles from Tavira was eventually offered but was not what we wished. Be warned - this property does not have an oven, or microwave in the cooking department. There are not heaters in all rooms. The electrics are bazaar - every socket has extension cables with additional sockets. The only working bathroom is an external annexe. This has a small fan heater plugged into a socket in the bathroom. ( this is illegal in my country)I could find no smoke or CO detector in the property.From approximately 21st November to the 20 January the rear 'patio' receives no direct sunshine. I believe the property had not been lived in for the previous two months prior to our visit.

Th guest behaved rudely and was unfortunately completely resistant to advice and very disrespectful. He came to Portugal during a period of bad weather! During storms and heavy rain, as documented by the weather services. The guest's mood was already bad when he arrived. I offered SERVICE and help in the house several times. Without any success! The customer did not respond. Rees did not use the heaters (3 fan heaters, 3 oil radiators, a wood stove PLUS an option for a gas stove) and the dehumidifier in a semi-professional manner. EVEN though all appliances are present, working AND with presets/markings for optimum effect. So freezing is completely UNNECESSARY! There is also a detailed description in the house for heating in winter in Portugal! Explained in detail! I also pointed this out to the guest. And I explained everything to him calmly. Even when I was there, I could NOT convince him to use the appliances properly. He did not allow the appliances to be preset. So the guest WILLFULLY caused damage to the house. Because the high humidity in Portugal/winter is no secret! Without a decent dehumidifier and a minimum of heating, it is unfortunately (often) NOT possible. Incidentally, the house was rented out as normal before and after the guest. The winter here was not ‘ easy’, but other tenants managed well. I can also say tthat other appliances (TV and hoover) in the house were also not used properly or were damaged.So the guest was quite ‘special guest.

Une fin de séjour décevante !

Tout aurait pu être parfait ! La maison est atypique avec du charme à la portugaise bien placé dans Tavira. Malheureusement, nous n’avons pas été avertie qu’il y aurait des travaux toute la semaine dans la rue voisine grue gros chantier et dans la maison juste à côté vue des ouvriers directement sur la terrasse jardin. Bruit de chantier de 8h à 17h. Nous n’avons pas pu profiter de l’exterieur. Ensuite des élément important qui n’était pas indiqué douche hors service, ni de four ni de micro onde et il y n’a pas de réfrigérateur ! (Nous n’avons rien dit et avons été conciliant) Retour en France, j ai reçu un message de l’hôte en nous demandant de payer 75€ s’en passer par Abritel car son service de nettoyage lui aurait indiqué qu’ont aurait fait pipi au lit. Bien sûr que ce n’était pas le cas nous n’avons pas d’enfant en bas âge. Déçu du retour !

Vielen Dank fuer Deine Bewertung. Das Tavira Townhouse liegt im Zentrum von Tavira. Leider haben wir keinen Einfluss auf Arbeiten in der Stadt oder bei unseren Nachbarn. Es tut uns leid, dass Ihr Baulaerm hattet. Alle Gaeste vor und nach Euch haben keinen Baulaerm erlebt. Daran kann man erkennen, dass wir darauf keinen Einfluss haben und wie sporadisch Bauarbeiten sein koennen. Wir hoffen, dass Ihr den wunderbaren Aussenbereich und die Aussendusche dann ab 17 Uhr nach dem Strandaufenthalt geniessen konntet. WIe in der Anzeige angegeben haben wir eine Dusche im hinteren Badezimmer. Selbstverstaendlich haben wir einen Kuehlschrank in welchem ein kuehler Weisswein auf Euch gewartet hat. EInen Backofen haben wir nicht, dies kann man aber auch der Anzeige entnehmen sowie den Fotos der Kueche, wenn man sich die Muehe machen moechte bei der Buchung. Alle Ausstattungsmerkmale sind aufgelistet. Wir weisen in unserer Anzeige sogar ausdruecklich darauf hin, dass das Tavira Townhouse aus oekologischen Gruenden einfach ausgestattet ist. Auch um unsere guenstigen Preise zu gewahrleisten verzichten wir ausdruecklich auf Luxus. Unser Reinigungsteam, welches immer im Haus sauber macht, hat uns nach Eurem Aufenhalt darauf hingewiesen, dass es in einem Zimmer nach Urin riecht und die Matratze einen Urin-Flecken trozt Schutzbezug aufweist. Daraufhin habe ich Euch angeschrieben. Nach Eurer abweisenden Reaktion haben wir aus Kulanz darauf verzichtet Euch die Matratzenreinigung zu berechnen.

Nettes Townhouse

Tavira ist ein sehr schöner Ort gewesen und das Ferienhaus hatte eine gute Lage. Auch die französische Bäckerei unterhalb des Hauses war ein Highlight. Leider erschien uns das Interieur des Hauses etwas in die Jahre gekommen zu sein. Eine gemütliche Sitzgelegenheit im Garten wäre schön gewesen.

Vielen Dank für Dein Feedback. Was für eine SItzgelegenheit hat Euch im Garten denn gefehlt? Wir haben eine Lounge Bank. 2 Lounge Sessel, 2 Liegen mit Kissen zum entspannen und noch diverse Sitzmöglichkeiten in Sonne oder Schatten. Was hat Euch gefehlt? Was das Interieur betrifft, ist das Haus ohne neumodische Sachen ausgestattet, um vernünftige Preise weiter gewählleisten zu können. Die starken Preiserhöhungen aller Mitanbieter in der näheren Umgebung wollen wir bewußt nicht mitmachen. Sondern uns ist es wichtig bezahlbaren, gepflegten und großzügigen Wohnraum ( immerhin ca.100m2 Wohnfläche ) zum fairen Preis anzubieten. Das bemühen wir uns auch in unserer Anzeige genauso zu transportieren. Wir hoffen Ihr hattet trotzdem eine schöne Zeit. Danke für Euer Feedback.

Einzigartig wunderschön!

Dem Titel "Townhouse mit Garten und Dachterrasse und viel Platz. In der Altstadt!" sollten die Wörter "einzigartig" und "wunderschön" voran gesetzt werden - dann ist die Kurzbeschreibung sehr zutreffend! Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht und ist durch ihren Aufbau wirklich außergewöhnlich schön. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die malerisch gestaltete Dachterrasse mit dem Duft verströmenden Zitronenbaum und dem herrlichen Ausblick auf Tavira. Die perfekte Lage ermöglicht eine fußläufige Erkundung der schönen Stadt Tavira und der französische Bäcker nebenan sowie der 500 Meter entfernte Lidl sind ebenfalls sehr urlauberfreundlich gelegen. Ich spreche eine ganz klare Empfehlung für diese Unterkunft aus und freue mich darauf, weitere Male dort Erholung finden zu dürfen.

An absolute delight

This property is eccentric, but utterly delightful, build through the old city wall with a wonderfully secluded garden and terrace at the back. It is a haven of peace but right in the heart of the town. It has all the basics that you need and is very well placed. The train and bus stations are in easy walking distance, so are many very good restaurants and the excellent French bakery. There are small corner shops nearby and Lidl is a ten minute walk away. The Castle and some of the best churches are in the neighbourhood. It is very good value.

Ausgezeichnete Location

Das Haus war wie beschrieben und hat unsere Erwartungen voll und ganz erfüllt - hier auch großes Lob an die Vermieter. Toller Garten und Terrasse. Das Haus ist schicht gehalten, aber ansonsten einzigartig. Kleine Anmerkung: Das große Schlafzimmer verfügt über keine Fenster. Uns hat es nicht gestört, aber manche können in solchen Räumen nicht schlafen. Es gibt aber noch zwei weitere Schlafzimmer - so sollte für jeden etwas dabei sein. Da wir Tavira ins Herz geschlossen haben, kommen wir sicherlich wieder.

Kleine Oase in der Stadt

Wir waren 10 Tage im Tavira Townhouse und haben uns total wohl gefühlt! Die Zimmer und die Küche sind gut ausgestattet und der Außenbereich hat uns begeistert! Nach einem Tag am Strand oder in der Stadt konnte man sich hier gut zurückziehen und die schöne Aussicht genießen! Die Außendusche bietet an heißen Tagen eine willkommene Abkühlung. Nur 2 Häuser weiter ist ein kleiner französischer Bäcker, mit Baguette, Croissant und anderen Leckereien, zu dem wir täglich gegangen sind. Zu Fuß erreicht man Stadt und Hafen in ca. 10 min. Die Kommunikation lief problemlos und ich bekam immer schnell eine Antwort und viel Info-Material zum Objekt und der Umgebung. Wir würden jederzeit wieder buchen, vielen Dank!
