About this property
Spacious Studio with Sunny Patio in Historic Centre of Tavira
Located on the ground floor floor of a lovely traditional townhouse on a quiet street in the historic centre of Tavira this spacious studio apartment of approx. 45m2 accommodates 2 guests in a double bed.
The space is divided by a graceful arch, with sitting area at the front, dining area under the arch, and at the back, a secluded sleeping alcove and a full kitchen. Nicely decorated. Ample storage space for clothes. Desk and chair by window make a pleasant work space.
The sunny patio of approx. 15m2 is attractively tiled, full of plants, furnished with a table and 4 chairs, and a deck chair. It's a perfect place to read, sunbathe, have coffee, a glass of wine, or a meal. If you rent a bike during your stay, you can wheel it through the studio and keep it safely on the patio.
Off the patio, one step outside from the kitchen door, is the bathroom with shower, loo and lavabo. It has a window.
Absolutely ideal location. Shops and cafés in the next street. Within easy walking distance ( between 5 and 10 minutes) of the central square, the Roman bridge, the beach ferry dock, the river and central garden, bars and restaurants, the castle, the bus and train stations, supermarkets - all of Tavira, in fact.
So you have no need for a car. (Or an abstemious designated driver in the evening.) Other towns can be easily visited by train - we are 5 minutes' walk from the train station - or bus - 10 minutes' walk - and it's just a 10 minutes' walk from the ferry that takes you to the beach. The nearest supermarket is also 5 minutes' walk away.
Public transportation from Faro airport to Tavira (shuttle bus plus train) costs just €5.55 per person. And it's a lovely train ride.
This studio is a pretty, handy and relaxing place for one or two people to holiday, or to use as a home base while house-hunting in the area.
Here are the house rules: NO CHILDREN UNDER 12. No parties. No pets. No smoking except outside.

Had a fantastic stay, beautiful clean apartment,with a lovely secluded patio area, was great safe place as a solo traveler, convenient for everywhere, fantastic host ,can't wait to go back
This is a wonderful space. The interior is very liveable and well-designed - the back patio is a great place to hang. Alexandra took good care of us. The location is right in the old town, just a couple minutes from everything. We really enjoyed our stay.
We had a fantastic time in Tavira, and this apartment was fabulous. It was so well equipped and perfect for us. Great location near the station, and the patio area is lovely
Very nice little place to stay. Nothing fancy but comfortable and all we needed. Very close to centre of town and 150 m from a boulangeire with fresh bagettes, buns and pasteries at 7am. The little courtyard is great.
The host, Alexandra, couldn’t have been more gracious. This property was in walking distance to practically everything. I hope to return in the future.
Comfortable, well furnished and equipped studio, with lovely private courtyard at the back. We could walk easily down to the town centre on the river, up to the train, castle, museums, restaurants, etc. Alexandra was very welcoming and helpful, we couldn’t have asked for more.
Alexandra was a the perfect host. Easily available for
questions and happy to help. Studio was minutes
walking to the city centre. It was clean and well supplied
with all one needs. Very enjoyable stay, wish I was still
there…
The apartment was an excellent choice for our extended stay in Tavira. Location could not have been better; we were minutes from the train station and grocery store and many great cafes and restaurants within a short walking distance The apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable and it was evident that our hosts took great care in providing for their guests. The curated library was a nice touch! Alexandra was always quick to respond to any questions. While the bathroom is outside, it was of no inconvenience. We would definitely stay there again.
Well equipped studio in great location. Train station, bus station, town center, cafes and restaurants all within easy walking distance. Alexandra had many great suggestions about the area. No AC during unusual heat was difficult at times but fan made it bearable. Overall we recommend Alexandra's studio, especially if you prefer a very firm mattress.
The location of the studio was great, within a short walk into the town centre. Well equipped for everyday meals and essentials. There is no oven but the cook top worked quite well and with all the restaurants and cafes close by the oven wasn’t missed that much. Our host Alexandra was lovely, very helpful and would check in to see if there was anything else we required. We will stay there again when visiting Tavira.
Our stay was lovely, the apartment was just as it says, but it didn’t say the bathroom was outside ( not the best thing at night) and there’s no oven, these went major things but think it should have said, the apartment is in a great location near shops and train station and 5 minutes from the square were all the bars are brilliant really

Adele, you're so right. I've just amended the inaccuracies in the description (which I did not even know were there, to my shame): there's no oven or dishwasher and the bathroom is indeed 'off the patio,' as stated in the description, but I've added the word 'outside' to make that even clearer. Thanks so much for pointing this out to me. It's all correct now. My apologies.
I stayed in this lovely and spacious apartment for 2 weeks and seriously wanted to extend my stay. It’s advertised as a studio, which technically is correct, but it is so much larger than that, especially when you add in the private and pretty courtyard which becomes another living area. There was nothing I needed in the kitchen area that wasn’t there and the comfort of the bed was great.
You don’t find a Host like Alexandra very often. Her communication before and during my stay was exactly what was needed.
Food shopping, train and bus stations, cafes and the main attractions and river are all within a few minutes walk from the apartment.
This apartment was perfectly located in town. A 5 minute walk to the train station, 5 minute walk to the river and town plaza with all the shops and restaurants, and a 10 minute walk to the bus station. The train was very convenient and I took trips to 3 other towns in the area. The apartment was clean and well maintained. Kitchen, everything you'd need to cook - except an oven. But a microwave, fridge. Clean bathroom, nice patio. A queen sized bed. I would recommend it to up to 2 people and I would would rent again if I were back again in this neck of the woods.The hostess was great, very friendly, available if any questions came up.
Nous avons passé un super séjour à Tavira.
L’appartement est situé dans une rue étroite où il y a quelques places pour se garer sinon il y en a d’autres dans les rues aux alentours et il est possible de se rendre au centre-ville à pied.
Le patio est un vrai petit plus qui est très agréable.
El apartamento es muy acogedor y perfecto para dos personas. Tenía todo lo necesario e inclusión nos ofrecieron cosas para poder ir a la playa. Alexandra fue muy amable a nuestra llegada y nos indicó todo muy bien.
Myself and husband have just returned from Tavira and we were lucky to find Alexandra's lovely studio.
Alexandra is lovely and met us at the property, told us everything we needed to know. The situation of the property is fantastic, not even a 5 minute walk from the train station, Lidl, cafe and the best chocolate shop which is open Monday to Friday 3 - 6 pm!
Although the property does not have AC, which (I must admit we were a bit worried that it would be too hot) , it does have a fan which we didn't need to use. Alexandra give us tips how to keep the studio cool and as it has very thick walls the tips worked wonderfully so there was no problem at all not having A C.
We found everything we needed in the studio, but our favourite place was the lovely patio with all the lovely plants a beautiful quiet chill place.
We travelled somewhere different nearly every day, fantastic base, great restaurants. Highly recommend. Thank you Alexandra x
