Lovely winter getaway

We really our month stay at this property. It was truly a home away from home and we were very comfortable there. There was everything we needed and more in the apartment. The complex is very well kept and the area quiet. It is an easy 15-20 minute walk into Tavira, a lovely town in the Algarve with lots to do.

Beautiful Tavira and lovely apartment

The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable. The owners are a pleasure to deal with. Tavira Gardens complex has a large swimming pool (2.8m deep) and a lovely chilled bar & restaurant. Supermarket only 5 mins walk away and two good restaurants 10 mins walk away. Cost of Uber into city centre is 5 and easy.

Excellent stay!

We really enjoyed our time at Di's apartment in Tavira. It is a nice, quiet complex, but within walking distance to Tavira central. She provided many ammenities such as a well stocked kitchen, extra bedding and towels, etc. Her communication was outstanding. It all made our stay comfortable as we were there for a month. We would definitely come back!

Good choice

The apartment we hired in Tavira Garden was a very good choice. When arriving, we were met by a nice lady who informed us about the place. The flat was spacious, very well kept, and all we needed was in place. Even a bottle of champagne was there to welcome us! The two terrasses was also great, and gave us morning and afternoon sunshine. We loved the place, and would love to come back some time! Marit and Arvid

Tavira Garden

We spent a week in Tavira Garden during an unusually cold January for the Algarve. The unit was bright and spacious. It was a wonderful place to come back to after a chilly day on the golf course! It is within easy walking distance or a quick drive to local attractions, amenities and restaurants. Although an older building the apartment was well appointed and has all you need to make the stay more comfortable. Owners were very responsive and dealt with matters quickly when informed. Thanks Di for looking after us!

A satisfying holiday

A wonderful apartment with everything you need. We felt that we lived in a real home! Two nice balconies but unfortunately the sun was very low in February so we could hardly use them. Fully equipped kitchen. Quiet location just 20 minutes’ walk to Tavira town. We loved the apartment though the beds could have been more comfortable. If the mattresses will be changed and the kitchen knives is sharpened we will come back!

Great outdoor space

The description of this property was accurate and very comfortable. The outdoor space was unusually large for Tavira and with two balconies you could catch the sun all day if so wished! We didn't use the pool area but it looked quiet and well kept with plenty of sun loungers. You could easily walk into Tavira old town within 20 minutes or taxi for under 10 euros. We would stay here again and would have no problem recommending to friends and family. The only negative comment for our particular stay is a nearby property was having a pool installed so there was some machinery noise when using the balconies but other than that the complex was quiet and a relaxing place to be.

Loved Tavira Garden

The Tavira Garden complex was quite pleasant with lovely grounds, 2 pools, a bar and a restaurant. It is located a short (15 minute) walk from the town centre with a full service supermarket a couple minute walk away. Plenty of parking is available. The apartment was clean, tastefully decorated, and well appointed with all reasonable amenities including tv and wifi. It has 2 large decks which, between them, offer sunshine all day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have no hesitation in recommending the apartment. In addition, we were very impressed with Di and Viktoriya. They answered promptly to any and all questions and were very pleasant to deal with. Thank you!

Excellent apartment & complex

Just returned from a 10 day stay. The apartment was spotless, spacious and so well equipped from board games to a well utilised shopping trolley!! The two terraces are fabulous & provided sunshine & shade when required. Air con in every room was fantastic & ensured a comfy temperature inside! A lovely complex, great pools and even though it was busy it never felt overcrowded, with plenty of sunbeds. Two supermarkets within walking distance of the apartment, we preferred the closest one to the shopping centre, great for daily fresh bread! Approx 15 - 20 mins walk into the centre of Tavira, which is unspoilt & charming with gorgeous restaurants. We took the ferry to the beach which also has a good variety of restaurants. We will definitely return to Tavira & to this lovely apartment.

Great apartment in quiet location.

This really is a great apartment, one we could imagine staying for a month or more. It felt like a home. Balcony furniture could have been better, but the balconies were great and where we started and ended each day. Very peaceful location, but you pay the price from feeling detached from Tavira. Only 20 mins pleasant walk to the centre though and the roads aren't as bad as some reviews make out ... Just the one roundabout you have to pay attention to. Mattresses need upgrading and a couple of bikes would have been great. But I would be happy to return especially for a longer stay. Oh and Tavira is a wonderful town, quiet, pretty and lots of wonderful restaurants. Wi-Fi was spot on. Good, practical kitchen for using all the great produce from the local markets.

Thank you for all your comments - we're really pleased you enjoyed your holiday. We spend a lot of time in our apartment (it's our second home), and hadn't noticed any problem with the mattress. However, a comfy bed is really important so we will replace the double mattress. The single mattresses are quite new, but we'll check them out.

Alojamento muito acolhedor e equipado com tudo o que é necessário. O condomínio é muito bom, piscina espectacular e jardins muito bem cuidados. para quem tenha dificuldades na mobilidade pode ser difícil a deslocação, dado que o apartamento fica num piso equivalente a um segundo ou terceiro andar sem elevador. A comunicação com a Diana e Terry foi excelente. São muito prestáveis e cuidadosos! Agradecemos muito a disponibilidade. A decoração do apartamento é algo antiga mas tem tudo o que precisamos para uma excelente estadia. Para terminar, os dois maravilhosos terraços e equipados com mesas e cadeiras, permitiram ter uns finais de dia maravilhosos em família. Obrigada!

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Di Galvin

Host profile image
We now live in Cheshire, having spent a number of years working abroad in Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai. Terry sold computer systems, and Di was a teacher. We are now semi-retired, running our own training company, which allows us plenty of time to travel.

Why they chose this property

Having travelled extensively, we immediately knew that Tavira is perfect for us - historic, elegant, quaint and unspoilt – a typical Portuguese town with cobbled streets, eighteenth century houses, interesting shops and a wide variety of restaurants and street cafes, some overlooking the river. We love the Eastern Algarve – quite different from the commercialisation and over-development West of Faro, but with lots to do for everyone, whatever their age or interests. Tavira is very convenient, being 30 minutes from Faro airport. Also, the weather is perfect, having a longer season than many Mediterranean resorts.

What makes this property unique

We know how important your holiday is to you, so have done everything we can to make your stay as special as possible. Our Information Book gives lots of personal information and advice about the apartment, the complex, Tavira, restaurants, things to do and places to visit. Many further suggestions have been contributed by our Guests.
Tavira Garden is a unique complex with individually designed apartments and villas, some residential, some rented. Its extensive gardens are beautifully maintained . Our apartment is in a perfect position in a quiet cul-de-sac with panoramic views from our two very large terraces. It is our second home so we have spent a great deal of time and care making it as comfortable and well equipped as possible. What sets it apart from most other apartments are the two unusually large private terraces which give you the choice of full sun or breezy shade, throughout the day.
