We were a party of 3 middle aged couples and we spent 12 nights at Earl's House in Tavira, at the end of September, 2015!! This place was amazing and exceeded our collective expectations! First of all, it was very clean and inviting, with its blend of authentic Portuguese charm and modern updates. Secondly, it was a very large living space, accommodating 3 couples for a fairly lengthy time! The apartment is laid out over 2 floors, with 3 large, attractive bedrooms(decorated with Portuguese tile works) that had comfortable beds and large windows, 2 large bathrooms that had great water pressure and quick action water heaters, a very well equipped kitchen that opens onto a beautiful outdoor terrace, which was another wonderful 'living room', where we were able to eat all of our meals al fresco and a very comfortable living room, on the first floor!! The apartment is in a PERFECT location to everything that is amazing about Tavira.....the River Gilao, the garden square, Bishop Square, quaint shops, sidewalk restaurants and bars!! As well, it is about 2 blocks to the grocery store! Tavira is Paradise and Earl's House was the perfect place to call 'home', while we were there!
