I highly recommend this property for anyone coming to Tavira. Sophie has created such a cozy space for her guests, and the location in town couldn't be better. Charming accommodation that feels like you're staying with a member of the family, in the best way.

Sophie was lovely, and her compact ‘studio apartment’ is situated right in the middle of the wonderful old part of Tavira. Lots of restaurants (the best of which was Mesa Farta - don’t be scared by its Michelin guide inclusion - it is beautiful food at a good price) lots of bars and reasonable amount of shops. We explored Tavira and it history, and then used it as a base to see other local areas (we had a car). The apartment is small but perfect for two. A little rough round the edges but good value nonetheless. Well enough equipped we cooked at home one evening with ease. Plenty of hot water, and all your basic needs, in a charming setting with outside space too (shared but extremely private). We had a lovely time. Thanks Sophie. Kind regards. Dan

Our first visit to Tavira, we loved our studio. It is well equipped, clean and functional. We used the outdoor area each day, having our breakfast, a meal or enjoying a glass of wine. It is located less than 5 mins from the river, everything in Tavira is walkable.Sophie was a first class host, meeting us in the early hours as we had a late flight that landed before midnight I'd love to go back to Tavira and I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Sehr schönes und ruhiges Apartment mitten in Tavira mit kurzen Wegen zur Fähre auf die Insel und zum Bahnhof. Das Apartment war sauber und gepflegt und man kann einen ruhigen und friedlichen Innenhof nutzen, um unter einem großen Baum zu entspannen, der Schatten spendet. Es gibt eine zweite Wohneinheit, mit der man sich den Innenhof teilt und eine gemeinschaftlich genutzte Waschmaschine. Außerdem gibt es dort zwei süße Katzen, die frei im Hof herumlaufen können. Die Vermieterin Sophie war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns bei ihr sehr wohl gefühlt - vielen Dank!
