Lovely place in perfect location

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely place. The outside deck was perfect at night. Location couldn’t have been more perfect. It was clean and we were able to easily communicate with the owner. Only losing one star because the refrigerator broke on the second to last day, which was a shame as we lost some beautiful food from the market. I assume this will be fixed for the next people who stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the townhouse. The location in the centre of Tavira was unbeatable: everything we could want access to was within a 15 minute walk. Very comfortable too.

Great House

We wanted a place to stay for 3 weeks to enjoy the town, sunshine and day trips. House is central to everything. We weee able to cook lots of meals as kitchen is well set up. The house is dark as it is surrounded by buildings. You need to be comfortable opening the shutters on the ground d level.

Great Stay

We enjoyed our three night stay at Jose’s place in Tavira. We arrived at the train station and contacted his co-host, Diana to let her know we would meet her at the townhouse. She was just leaving a supermarket a block away and generously offered to pick us up! She showed us around the place, which looked just like the photos. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was easily walkable to anywhere in Tavira. We had a comfortable three nights. I highly recommend staying here - you won’t be disappointed.

Perfect location

This was a wonderful stay. I got lost driving into Tavira from Lisbon but that was just a lack of familiarity and probably underestimated the travel time by not including time for gas stops and a snack. The setting was excellent and the apartment was comfortable and charming. Jose was excellent, informative , and accomadating even though offsite. I would recommend this as a place to stay to anyone!

Lovely Townhouse!

Very private yet seconds from the center. We loved the rooftop terrace with the view of a stork's nest. Jose and Diana were most accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. We stayed 5 nights and the townhouse was equipped with everything one might need. Loved it! Michaelann & Rob, USA, May 2023

Great location, outstanding accommodation

We were 4 seniors and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in Jose’s house. We could walk everywhere. The house was clean, nicely decorated and equiped with all the amenities you could possibly want. It is certainly one of the top vacation rentals we have had. The only negative is that you can’t park a car at the unit. We knew that it in advance and took Jose’s advise on where to park, which worked out well and was less than 5 minute walk. Would highly recommend.

Perfect - Five Stars

The position of the Townhouse is perfect - the setting is quiet and peaceful. The quality of furnishings is very good; comfortable beds and furniture. The outside patios, especially the patio that is on the roof, which can be accessed via the spiral staircase, is a place you can relax and catch the sun whilst having a glass of wine or beer. The kitchen has everything you need not that we used it much as we ate out at the numerous very good restaurants that are within walking distance. Numerous supermarkets and bakeries are nearby - everything you need on your doorstep. Whether you are a family or a couple this is the place to stay in Tavira. Booking the apartment via Jose' the owner was as simple as you can get. Would certainly stay here again when next in the beautiful town of Tavira. Thank you Jose' - Angela, John & Elysia xxx

Right in Town!

This cute apartment sleeps 4 comfortably and the kitchen living area was fully equipped for everything we needed. Within seconds to everything restaurants and pharmacy and minutes to edges of downtown. Only 2 things that hung us up - there is no parking at the house so we had to move the car around; and, the hot water in the showers had one temperature - hot. It didn’t seem to be possible to adjust it. These things should not keep you from renting this outstanding property, just good to know.

Well equipped, central accommodation

Refurbished and stylish traditional Portuguese house. Well equipped with good quality appliances that would suit either a couple, or 4 friends. It is situated fairly close to the main street in Tavira and is within walking distance to the restaurants and bars. It is overlooked by a rather ugly building and is adjacent to an alleyway and public parking, which can be busy at times. However, I did not find them that noisy or intrusive but please bear in mind that it was the winter period when I visited and it may be busier and therefore noisier in the summer months. My only suggestion for the owner would be, that the second main bathroom could benefit from a shower enclosure, rather than a shower curtain which I found too small and impractical to use. Apart from that the accommodation was as described.

Great Location

Stayed at Jose's house in Tavira for about 4 weeks in March 2019. Really enjoyed our stay there. Jose was very easy to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner. We were met at the house by Diana and we were given a thorough orientation. The house was clean and well supplied. We did not use the kitchen for cooking but everything seemed to be there is you wanted to pass up all the wonderful restaurants in Tavira and cook yourself. The location could not be better. The house was very quiet other than the couple of days where they were doing construction on the business directly behind the house. Everything worked as it should. The only minor issues we had were the shower curtain, especially the smaller shower (close quarters and the curtain tended to stick to your body) and ants that entered under the doorway. I would highly recommend Jose's property for anyone interested in visiting Tavira.

Tavira centre ville

Jolie maison, très bien équipée. Un plus pour les petites attentions comme sel, poivre et autres produits alimentaires, produits ménager et pour la douche, très rare voir inexistants dans les locations. Chambres agréables et confortables. Un bémol pour les extérieurs, la terrasse est vraiment très petite et complètement murée, aucune vue. Pas d'emplacement pour la voiture donc quête journalière et payante. Impossible d'ouvrir les volets directement placés sur la rue à hauteur d'homme, un peu frustrant de rester toujours dans une semie obscurité heureusement qu'il y a le petit patio. Un des toilettes inutilisables... Mais ces détails ne nous ont pas pas empêché de passer d'excellentes vacances. Merci au propriétaire pour sa gentillesse et réactivité, par contre l'accueil de l'agent très expéditif :-(eeexpédMerci la clim !!!

Perfect Place

Beautiful and well appointed house, absolutely charming, in a prime location close to everything but just off the heavily traveled paths. 100% walkable. Paid day parking (9am - 7pm) right in front, free after/until. Free parking available within 3/4 minute walk to near/around Sao Francisco church. Owner/manager easy, helpful, and accommodating. Impeccably clean. Great showers. Very cool patio space with spiral stairs up to rooftop 2nd patio. Price was right. Highly recommend this house. Will absolutely be our home in Tavira whenever I visit so just make sure you don't go at the same time as we do!

Amazing place and location!

The apartment is absolutely perfectly placed with everything at a 5-10 minute walking distance. It's in a cute side street, right off the main street in the old part of Tavira! My girlfriend and I only had 1 issue with the place overall.. and that was the mattress. it's a bit dated and still has springs which meant we didn't get the best rest after lots of walking, and woke up pretty sore. We couldn't have asked for a better place & host, but we hope they can upgrade the mattress for the next time or next guests! :)

About the host

Hosted by José

We live in Lisbon. We are teachers in a high school and a public college. We have two daughters.

Why they chose this property

My family love Tavira. For some time we have spent holidays and weekends in Tavira. In 2004, we bought a little private home just in the centre of Tavira near the Gilao river, the bridges (the "Veneza" of Algarve), the churches, the beaches, the mountain, etc.
