Excellent experience at Robin's property. My wife, daughter and I spent a week at the villa, and had a fantastic time. Property was just as described/as per photos. Roughly a 20 min walk or 4 minute drive into central Tavira.

The villa was perfect for us, exactly as described.Whilst there were a couple of shops & café with in 25minute walk, because of the heat we were glad we had a car. Uber were particularly efficient & cheap (3 to town) for evenings out.Robin, the host responded quickly to all messages & requests.Pool & plunge pool had been well looked after very clean. Great size.Enjoyed using barbecue.Plenty of hot water, good power from showers.We felt very safe in the area. Tavira is a beautiful town with many bars & restaurants, predominantly filled with older visitors (35). Fun tourist train. 15 minute ferry to beautiful beach, with bars & restaurants.We will definately be returning.

Lovely Villa in a perfect location

We were 8 golfers and the location of the property was perfect for a choice of 8 coursesThe accom was very clean with all mod cons and a beautiful size that we didn’t feel we were on top of each other. It was very clean and only a 20 min walk into Tavira. The pool & BBQ were perfect. The comms with both Robin (owner) and the Management Firm was excellent from start to finish

Great villa in Tavira

We were two families that enjoyed a stay at this villa. It was really clean and well equipped with a lovely pool and outside space. We enjoyed lots of BBQS by the pool and drinks on the terrace during our stay and exploring the local area. It's about a 25 minute walk into Tavira where there were loads of choice of restaurants. We particularly enjoyed Coisa Linda, Ponto Encontro and La Salto. Highly recommend this villa, we had a fantastic time.

Family break

Villa was absolutely perfect, the pool was amazing and a great size and the little plunge pool was an added bonus. The gardens and areas round the house are well kept and pools clean. Inside the rooms are spacious and AC good which we needed when temps hit 37/38 some days. Kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need. A great place to stay and would recommend

We enjoyed the house very much. Communication was easy and available. Plenty of towels and bedding (there were only 2 of us) The house is close to old Tavira (25 min walk) and there are several bakeries and coffee places within 8-10 min walk. A mini Aushan is just around the corner, 10 min walk but easier to drive. A car was very handy and there was plenty of parking across the street. It's very private in a culdesac area so minimal traffic going by. Pool was very nice and pretty private as well as the house next door is unoccupied as of now and there is an empty lot on the other side. There's a campground behind house but no one was there during our stay. Everything was clean when we arrived. Access to Olhao and Faro is easy.

Very spacious, lots of facilities. Uber into Tavira around 4 euros. Had a small maintenance issue which was solved quickly and efficiently, the true mark of a service offering is when it goes wrong, how they respond.

Tired

There is much to commend Villa Sinos, it is spacious, with a modern well-equipped kitchen, and updated bathrooms. Which is why it is such a shame that it has been allowed to become dated and tired. With a little investment it could easily retain it's undoubted former glory, especially in it's outdoor areas. The garden is overgrown and uncared for, the pool and tiling is discoloured, broken and dirty patio tiles, broken patio furniture, unusable BBQ are just some of the problems. The interior of the villa needs updating and a good clean! A bit of TLC and investment and it could become a nice place to stay.

The Villa has been updated with new bathrooms and kitchen this year. Last month we appointed contractors for an upgrade to salt pool system and remodelling of pool and perogola tiling. The work in the garden areas starts in November 2019 and will be completed for the 2020 season

Lovely villa in a private and quiet location

This villa is perfectly located if you prefer quiet and privacy, without being too far from the town. You are able to walk into town, however if you are carrying all the beach gear to the ferryboat that takes you to the beach, you might prefer to go to town by car (we did it on foot and it was a very hot walk). There is also a handy supermarket and lovely cafe bar within walking distance, although they are down the dual carriageway with a questionable pavement area. The villa itself is light and airy with good sized bedrooms and modern bathrooms. The kitchen is clean and modern with everything you could need if you like to cook. We stayed in a lot due to the pandemic and we were short of nothing (except maybe a few more glasses would be good). The outside area was brilliant. The pool area looks brand new and spotless with its artificial grass and lovely fruit trees giving endless sun and shade as required. There is plenty of shaded space to eat at the table by the pool however as the evenings came, we preferred to sit in the cosy terraced area upstairs overlooking the pool, the town and the sea. Watching the sun go down up there was lovely and it almost felt like our own private rooftop restaurant. We really did love our stay, made all the more special by the sadness of the current situation. I'm sure we'll be back, hopefully in better times.

5 veckor i Tavira

Perfekt hus för 8 personer, årstiden innebar några veckor med natt kallt och även kalt i allmänna utrymmen. Huset levde upp till beskrivning i annonsen. Avstånd ner till centrum ca 20 min, bra motion då vi gick denna strecka ibland 2 gånger per dag. Nära till Golfbanor Benamor 7 min o Quinta Ria 15 min. Gott om trevliga restauranger + för lunch 22 an mellan broarna, Vehla 2 och vårt stamstället Irlänska puben. Bra service av Smartavillas som skötte om huset. Med vänlig hälsning, Håkan

Belle propriété

Agréable séjour à Tavira. La maison est bien située a quelques minutes du centre, grande et propre. Par contre il y a du bruits des voisins qui déposent très tard le soir les bouteilles en verre dans le container juste en face de la maison. Il manquait 2 chaises à l’extérieur, 2 chaises à l’intérieur. Manque également de vaisselle.

Avaliação da Habitação

Problemas na cozinha, com muitas formigas, impossível deixar algo em cima das bancas, dentro da despensa, enfim formigas tínhamos que estar constantemente em limpeza. Outra coisa, baratas também existiam. O meu neto cortou-se, tivemos que ir ao hospital, aliás utilizamos a malinha dos primeiros socorros, da pouca coisa existente. Muito mau, entre a relva artificial e os azulejos, são cortantes, deviam mandar afagar para não ser cortante. Com tudo isto, merece mesmo assim uma nota razoável.

Moradia simpática mas com pontos a serem melhorados

Tivemos uma boa estadia e sentimo-nos bem na casa. O espaço exterior junto â piscina e no terraço proporcionam bons momentos. O churrasco exterior tem boa tiragem. Como pontos menos conseguidos posso mencionar a sala pouco funcional e confortável bem como a falta de tomadas elétricas nos quartos de banho, falta de armários em alguns dos quartos. A falta de chávenas de café foi suprimida pela gestão do espaço a nosso pedido. A localização do ecoponto frente à moradia origina algum ruído durante horas de repouso. Em geral o jardim podia estar mais cuidado. A localização é um ponto muito forte.

Holiday August 2019

We have just returned from a 2 week stay and had a wonderful time. The villa was fabulous, the outside seating area was kept shaded all day so you could keep cool while still able to see the children playing in the pool. The upstairs seating area was fabulous on a night and the views of Tavira and the sea we're amazing. It was well equipped with everything you could need. It was a nice 20 minute walk into town. The owner and the rental company were extremely helpful both during the booking process and during our stay. I would recommend this villa for a stay in Tavira and would certainly stay there again.
