Great location with everything we needed, and a helpful host!

This apartment is very nice, two bedrooms, a shower, full kitchen and a washer/dryer, which is super convenient. Manuela is a very conscientious and thoughtful host, and she provided us with lots of tips about activities and restaurants in the area. It's about a 10-minute walk to the centre of Tavira - there is a fairly long terraced staircase leading up to the neighborhood, but parking is available nearby. We enjoyed being able to watch the BBC news in English:) We didn't end up using the bikes, but there are 2 available. Thank you, Manuela!

Tavira

Lage und Art der Unterkunft waren für uns nicht optimal, aber Manuela hat freundlicherweise sofort eine neue schöne Unterkunft gefunden. Sie ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat viele Restaurant- Tipps. Check-in und Check-out liefen prima.

Dear Rainer. I appreciate your review. I wish to tell, and worn everyone else, that I will never do that again. What you see is what you get. You have to see all the pictures, read all the descriptions and reviews before booking. The space outside is visible in the fotos and is not private, and unfortunately we only have one outside window, visible in the blue room. It's an holiday apartment for short term rental. Thank you so much for coming. Manuela

prima appartement. goed ingericht. vriendelijke eigenaresse

Alles was prima verzorgd. Werden vriendelijk ontvangen en kregen uitleg over het appartement. Heerlijk de openhaardhout en er was voldoende hout. Jammer was, dat in de woonkamer geen ramen zaten. Dus altijd net licht aan.

FÉRIAS EM TAVIRA

Desde 2013 que passo, com a familia, férias nesta residência em Tavira 2 vezes por ano e só tenho a dizer bem, da residência, pequena mas acolhedora e confortável, com tudo que é necessário para umas tranquilas férias de Verão, da anfitriã, Manuela, extremamente simpática e disponivel, e do clima, quente e solarengo como nenhum outro, em Portugal e sul da Europa! Recomendo vivamente! :)

Accueil et séjour

Très bonne accueille de Manuela (propriétaire). La maison très bien tenue et propre. Assez d'espace pour 4, confortable et très bien équipée. Région agréable qui vaut le détour. A voir : Tavira et ses alentours, son ile, toutes les villes côtières, ses rochers, Silves et sa fête médiévale, les dauphins, les sculptures sur sable etc... Pour les personnes qui aiment les visites ou se reposer n'hésitait pas, il y a de quoi faire. Pas le temps de s'ennuyer.

A lovely apartment in a great location

This was a really lovely apartment, very well equipped and in a great location. Manuela was incredibly helpful, picking us up from the train station when we arrived, showing us around the area, and taking us to the airport when we left at 5 in the morning for about half what a taxi cost! We would definitely stay here again!

Nice Appartment

My two daughters and myself stayed in this Appartment for 10 days. Manuela picked our lugage up from the station, wich was very kind (if the car would have been big enough, she would have picked us up also). So we walked about 10 Minutes from the station to get to the house. It was all nice and clean, some drinkingwater was allready there for us, also some fruits and the fireplace ready to light a fire. It is also nice to find real Art from a frind of Manuela on the walls and not just some Posters. We enjoyed having wireless lan there, good Pillows and also some more pillows in the cubbord for people who like more than one. We realy enjoyed the stay there and you could not find a better Landlady than Manuela! The day we left we ordered a taxi to pick us up and Manuelas mother was waiting in front of the door so the taxi would defenetly find the right house and waits for us. That was realy nice! Alltogeather we have to say it was great to have stayed there! We will defenetly be back! If you are going to stay there, for sure you will have a good time, and if you have any questions beforehand, Manuela answers Emails usualy the same day you send them and she will do the best to make you comfortable, thats for sure! Thank you for everything!! Good price - good value!! Lovely people!! Our Recommendation!!
