The photos did not show just how perfect a property this was! The attention to detail in the provision of all you need for a smooth holiday;the clean and stylish interiors and high standard of decor;the perfect and spacious exterior, with lots of sitting spaces; the bbq with outside kitchen area…the pool… a 11/10! For all of it. Perfect communication process meant a smooth and easy experience from beginning to end. The villa was perfectly located in a quiet area but super close to supermarket, cafes, and a short walk to the picturesque town centre. Highly recommended villa, thank you to the owners for letting us stay.

Villa in excellent location and condition. Short reasonably level walk (once you have sussed out the road crossing points) to the gorgeous town of Tavira and very adjacent to the Plaza shopping complex - very handy. Large Continente supermarket therein was used a lot.Internal villa comfortable and clean, many amenities. We especially loved the private rear sun deck, which had sun all day, shaded seating and eating areas, exceptionally clean pool with this fully equipped villa. Cool box was handy for trips to the Praia da Ilha de Tavira - via ferry from town.Minor issue was the neighbouring dog incessant barking but eventually managed to tune it out/ignore it.Overall excellent and if visiting Tavira again would seek out availability for this villa before looking elsewhere

Fantastic week in Tavira

The property was even better than the photos - spacious, well appointed with a lovely outside area. It was also a short walk from the centre of Tavira and next to a large shopping centre so it was easy to get supplies and wander into town without a car. Really enjoyed the stay and would recommend this property!

The owners & local managers could not be faulted. Lovely town of Tavira, 20 minute stroll into town, where you can find everything for chilled night our with local restaurants. We were there for 7 days, five of us and not one bad dish between us, plus lovely BBQ area with nearby supermarket, or 15 minute wander to food market, to eat in the outside area of the house. Would defiantly recommend this place.

Lovely villa

Lovely spacious villa in a wonderful location close to everything. Villa was very clean & had everything you could possibly ask for. Was greeted by the lovely Emma who showed us round the property. Had one very small issue during our stay & it was dealt with very swiftly. Only one thing I would say is having a hand rail on both sides of staircase as my mother who is 80 had a bit of difficulty with them. Overall a fantastic stay

Hi Karen Thank you for your kind review of our home and the service that we provide. We are very pleased that you found the villa and Tavira to your liking and very much enjoyed the very convenient location etc. We were most concerned to hear of your elderly Mums difficulty navigating the staircase. In this respect, just to confirm and re-assure you, the building is modern and is built to current building regulations. In this respect, it meets all the safety requirements relating to staircases. In this respect, it does have a rail the full length of the staircase on one side and there aren't very many steps with a resting place in the middle. The staircase is also not too wide and putting an additional rail on the other side "may" potentially restrict access, particularly when carrying suitcases etc up and down. To be 100% honest, we have actually lived in the property, permanently ourselves for many years from new and have never had an issue. Likewise, since we have been renting the property (for over 6 years now), in between our utilisation and coming and going , we have never had an issue. Indeed, this is the first time anyone has raised the matter with us. However, rest assured we will act on your valuable feedback. We are visiting ourselves for August and I will personally have a look to see if it is practical to put any additional measures in place. Thank you for advising us of your Mums difficulty. Only via feedback can we continue to develop and improve the service and environment that we provide to our valued guests. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Once again, thank you for your kind words, feedback and your much valued custom. Hopefully we can be of service at some point in the future. Enjoy the rest of the Summer! Kind regards and best wishes. Paul

From booking right throughout the whole stay we have nothing but good things to say.Paul was excellent at communicating prior to our stay and upon arrival we met with Emma.The property is extremely spacious and very well equipped with everything you will need including towels and beach towels and equipment. The beds are comfortable and there were lots of dvds, CDs, books, games and streaming services along with information about the local area. The pool is great and the outside area was lovely to relax in. A car might not be necessary as there is a large shopping centre right beside the development. We did have one to further explore the area but the town was walkable.We very much enjoyed our stay and would hope to return again in the future.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay in this delightful villa in Tavira. It was spacious with all the amenities including a barbecue area not to mention the excellent pool . It was like staying in your own private resort. The villa is located in a residential area within a 5 min walk to a supermarket and 20 min to old town Tavira. A car is therefore not necessary, for further distances taxis are cheap and plentiful. The local property manager Emma needs a special mention . Extremely accomodating and very responsive to any queries

Great villa, great location

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa this summer. It was surprisingly spacious and had everything we could need. The villa was quite modern and the facilities were excellent, lot's of outdoor space for all and the patio and pool had sun all day long, a perfect place to chill out and relax. Location was good too, right next door to the supermarket and the food court there was a bonus. A nice 15-20 minute stroll into the centre of Tavira was also perfect. Contact with the owners and the manager was also first class too, all the help we wanted was given and they were very helpful with the storage of our luggage as our flight was a later one, thank you for all your help for our holiday, we would gladly recommend this as a good place to stay

Beautiful villa

Fantastic villa, immaculate inside and out, with more than enough room for our family. The outdoor kitchen was brilliant and the kids were never out of the pool. The hosts provided lots of useful local information ahead of our stay and provided a local contact number which made it easy to get hold of them during our stay. (Not that we needed to.) The villa is within walking distance of a very well stocked supermarket and a 15min walk to the centre of Tavira, so we didn’t bother hiring a car and didn’t miss it at all.

Wonderful villa

My husband and I have just returned from a week in Tavira, the villa is beautiful, even nicer than the pictures show. We had everything we could possibly need, it really is a case of just getting some food from the supermarket (which is a five minute walk away) as everything else is provided, we were even left some beers, wine, ice, milk, tea and coffee for when we arrived. Tavira is a wonderful town, really friendly people and very reasonably priced, would highly recommend the bars and resturants by the side of the river and a boat trip to the Island, which is only €2.50 return, it is like being in paradise. I can't recommend this villa and Tavira highly enough

Fabulous Villa

Lovely villa, larger than expected and furnished to a very high standard, with everything you could possibly need. It has a stunning pool and garden with multiple seating areas (some shaded) sun beds and a bbq area. Everything was spotlessly clean. Great location, less than 5 minute walk from large shopping centre with a Continente Supermarket. You can walk into town, but we took Ubers for around 4 euros. Very quiet area and local people were all very friendly. Great communication from owners, who answered any queries we had prior to arrival and we were met at the villa by the managing agent with the key. We can’t recommend this villa highly enough and can’t wait to come back.

Not as described. Endless noisy dogs.

The property was in a low-grade area and was poorly furnished with polyester bedding and a rulebook 10 pages long. The television signal kept turning off every two minutes. The hot water kept going cold mid shower.There was nowhere to park as cars were parked all up on the curbs. We left two weeks early because of incessant dogs barking day and night.

I am extremely disappointed and very sorry to read your review and receive your One Star rating on our property, which has previously only received 5 star ratings from other guest, many of whom are happy returning customers. It was quite clear from your previous correspondence that you had made the decision to leave our property, prior to you raising any issues with us. which did not allow us the chance to address any of the issues that you raised. However, once we knew about your discontent, we instructed our Property Managers to investigate and make good any problems. It is unfortunate that you point blank refused the Property Management Company entry to investigate and address your concerns, which we offered at entirely our own cost.  You insisted that you were leaving after 16 nights and demanded full reimbursement and compensation to be paid directly into your account before the date of your early departure and not via VRBO.  We explained the VRBO process, but again you refused to deal with, what you called, "a foreign booking agent" (VRBO).  We found your tone unacceptable as you projected very direct, aggressive, bullying and threatening tactics throughout, adding that if your demands were not met in full you would take legal action. Again we explained the process, that after full consideration of all the facts, should we feel any money should be reimbursed, it would be done after your original planned departure date and not before, in line with the VRBO process and paid via Vrbo not directly into your bank account from us.. It is quite difficult to address all your points, as additional points of, quite frankly, a ridiculous nature, could not be rectified and are beyond our control. As you mentioned in your previous email - the sun not shining on the pool and terrace - it was January/February and as with any holiday, you are at the mercy of the weather and we cannot do anything about it.  Indeed, we also now know there was a tremendous tropical storm, which affected the entire area quite badly and caused much damage to surrounding properties. This also affected TV, internet and WiFi reception.  Likewise, with regard to your comment regarding the neighbours dogs barking, if the neighbour was approached in a reasonable manner it would have potentially eased this difficult situation, but you calling him a ‘moron’ clearly would not have helped the situation and your case. Unfortunately, we could not get involved as you did not raise any issue with us until you advised us you were moving on? Following you raising the issue of the hot water going off, via this review; ( the first we have heard of it), we have since had the hot water checked and it appears to all be working satisfactorily. The boiler is reasonably new and we replaced it about 6 months ago. However, we will of course keep a close eye on it going forward. We carefully word our property description on VRBO and we are confident our description accurately reflects the property, furnishings and facilities available. You also reference our ‘rule book:’ May I assure you that the comprehensive property guide we leave for guests, is for safety (such as emergency contact numbers), assistance (with property facilities) and guidance to local beaches, restaurants, taxis etc in the local area. Referencing the property as being in a 'low grade area’ is wholly untrue. It is a much sought after area and indeed a house across the road sold this year for over £700,000, which does not have a swimming pool or a driveway and extra land area to the side of the property or indeed any parking facilities available at all. I would suggest that for the majority, this would not represent a low grade area or property and would strongly suggest that your description is highly misleading and wholly inaccurate to anyone reading your review. All of our bed linen sheets, pillow cases including mattress and pillow protectors and also towels are of high quality Egyptian Cotton. An additional Winter bed-cover/Duvet is sometimes used, should the property management company deem this necessary in Winter months. However, every piece of linen is High Grade, Hotel quality in line with Portuguese ‘clean & safe’ guidelines. It is an insult and a slur to suggest otherwise. You state that there was nowhere to park,. However, there is adequate parking in front of the property. We often have guests with more than one hire car, which does not cause any problem. The garage is locked and not available for guests as it contains our personal items. The drive gate is locked for additional security, especially if children are at the property. The garage is not advertised as available nor is the drive way. Neighbours are extremely accommodating with parking should you need extra space. There is only one neighbour who prefers to park with his near side wheels up on the kerb. This is his personal choice , is the only car to do so and should not be a concern to anyone and should certainly not spoil anyone's holiday. We pride ourselves on achieving our 5 star rating (after 45 genuine reviews of which 45 are all 5 Star), our VRBO ‘Premier Host - Partner’ status and our 10 point VRBO ranking. However, disappointingly, following your 1 Star Review this unblemished record has been tarnished and our VRBO ranking has been reduced to 9.8, which as you are well aware, is extremely damaging to us. Hopefully, our potential future guests will see through your ‘complain and claim’ approach and your 1 star rating. I am deeply saddened that you didn't raise your issues with us until after you had made plans to leave and that we were not allowed any opportunity to react and try to put any issues right for you and that you feel that a 1 star rating is a true refection of our property and the service we provide. I would wish you all the best in your future rentals.

Fabulous 10 days stay in a great property

We had a fabulous time during our stay in Tavira. The villa is ideally located 3 minutes walk to the Gran Tavira shopping centre with a huge Continente supermarket open from 08:00 - 22:00 every day. It is only a 20 minute walk into town but as it was very hot when we were there we took Uber into town and got a local taxi back. All very easy and all the drivers were very friendly. Paul was great at sending information before our arrival and the wine beeer, water and milk left in the fridge when we arrived was a very welcome treat, thank you! The villa is so much bigger than it looks in the photos and we loved the outside area with the pool and large patio. It was so lovely to come down in the morning and sit outside with a cup of tea with no rush to get to breakfast or a sun lounger! I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the real Algarve. We had so many lovely meals out in Tavira and there is so much to do and explore. A visit over to Ilha da Tavira is well worth a visit. We will definitely be back to Tavira in the near future.

Barking Neighbours Dogs Disrupt Otherwise Wonderful Holiday

We loved the property. It was just as described on VRBO site. Location was fabulous. Easy walk to downtown (on the flat and only 1.3 km) and nearby amenities. Having the mall just 5 mins away was fantastic. Owners provided a terrific list of things to do and restaurants to try. Even though somewhat off-season mid-Feb to Mid-March it still provided excellent points of interest and restaurants. Temperatures were in the low 20s. WOW did we luck out. Unfortunately, the neighbours dogs, directly behind and across and down the street, drove us crazy with their constant barking, sun-up until late in the evening. It made it difficult to sit out and enjoy the beautiful pool and garden area. Dogs are a fact of life however the dog Owners made no effort to control the behaviour and it's unlikely this will change. If we return to Portugal we would definitely look for accommodation in Tavira but likely at a different property and hope we don't experience this again.

Beautiful Home / Great Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay in Tavira, Portugal. The villa was exceptionally clean with ample dishes, utensils and good quality appliances. The rooms were nicely decorated with abundant shelfing and space to store and hang all our clothing. The rooms contained very nice furniture and comfortable beds. There were plenty of towels, bedding, dish cloths, etc. The villa is located in a subdivision next to the town's major Shopping Mall which contains plenty of stores and an exceptional grocery store inside the Mall. It's a nice 15 to 20 minute walk to the main attractions in the middle of town. It is also about a 20 minute walk to the nearest train station stop. Tavira is a charming old town with beautiful beaches, and a rich cultural experience. A must see is the Ilha de Tavira beach and the pleasant ferry ride to the island. The town itself, with its Moorish architecture and traditional Portuguese tiled houses was also a highlight of our trip. There are plenty of roadside cafes / restaurants and lots of little shops selling their wares at very reasonable prices. There are also plenty of seaside towns, within a 30 minute trainride, where we spent the day walking the boardwalks and shopping at the local stores. All-in-all.... a wonderful vacation staying at a 5 star villa.
