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. Licence no. 1313/AL

We do our best to make you comfortable. Unfortunate we can’t control the weather as we discovered to our cost last week! It looks as though it will improve now that we are back in the UK!
This is a lovely big apartment in a great location: close to bars, restaurants, supermarkets and the ferry for Ilha de Tavira. We choose to eat in a few times, and the well-equipped kitchen was a bonus. The quality of everything in the apartment was top notch, nothing felt cheap and it’s obvious that a lot of thought has gone into everything.This a a real home from home and if we visit Tavira again, this will be our first choice for somewhere to stay.
A lovely apartment in a convenient location even within the complex as it is right opposite the swimming pool so super for quick access. The apartment is beautiful and homely. It doesn’t want for anything including a parasol to take to the beach. It is immaculately clean as is the complex. The check-in was easy and the use of a secure car park is a plus. I can highly recommend and hopefully will visit again one day. People staying on the complex were very friendly and I made some new friends whilst there.
A lovely well furnished apartment on a quiet street in a modern building with a pool that was located very well within walking distance to many amenities. Clearly well cared for and clean. Olga and her team are extremely responsive and accommodating property managers. Tavira is a beautiful place and this apartment is a great place to base your stay.
This was our 3rd time visiting Tavira but 1st in this apartment. Best stocked apartment i have ever stayed in even down to a dental repair kit. A large 1 bedroom apartment and spotlessly clean. Great location just a couple of minutes to town centre with all restaurants and bars and 2 minute walk to ferry for beach. Only thing missing was a safe for our valuables. Would definitely go back again.
Enjoyed the apartment location, cleanliness and security. Very comfortable and met all our needs. Charming neighbourhood and generous selection of restaurants and attractions. Olga was gracious and our stay was flawless. Thank you.
Lovely apartment for 2. Well equipped, spotless, terrific location. If we are lucky enough to return to Tavira we would definitely book this place again.
We just needed a place to sleep, and weren’t needing a lot of amenities. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the desk clerks were very helpful when we arrived extremely late due to a flight delay. I would stay here again!
Clean, comfortable, modern with secure garden and shared swimming pool. This accomodation is ideally located in a quiet street near the centre of Tavira. We give it five stars ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Spacious and well equpped, the property had everything you might require for a holiday. The garage was really useful and was very close to the apartment which overlooked the pool. Pool loungers were provided as was a beach umbrella, windbreak, cool bag, shopping bags and just about everything else!.Positioned less than 5 minutes easy walk to the river, ferry to the beach and plenty of bars and restaurants. I cannot recommend highly enough
Excellent property, great communication, location was perfect and bed was comfortable. Our stay exceeded our expectations. Thank you for the wine and food items upon our arrival. It was appreciated.
Great property: modern, well furnished and well located for all of Tavira’s amenities. Olga was very helpful and apartment was nice and clean. Welcome package was a nice touch. One suggestion: the bathroom needs a cabinet for toiletries etc. Also the TV didn’t work! We didn’t use the pool - it was too cool!
It was very nice except that AC was not working well for the first 5 to 6 days. Then, we finally got a new AC units for the bedroom and the living room, and everything was okay!
Everything was “A plus “ beginning from personal assistance in finding the place upon arrival till the last day with vacating the place
The host left a welcome wine and food package. This was very sweet and thoughtful particularly for us arriving very late in the night and not familiar with Tavira
The host provided number of useful tips and guides about the area
Would recommend this place to anybody with closed eyes

Thank you for your lovely comments, and for the little jobs you did for me. I will certainly add Manta Rota beach to my suggestions.
About the host
Hosted by Sylvia Dean
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.
