We have stayed in the complex before but not this apartment so knew what to expect. Apartment was lovely and big, and nicely furnished throughout. We loved stargazing on the roof and the balcony overlooking the pools was lovely. We would definitely stay here again. Check in was thorough and friendly.
The only things we would like a little different were that the mattress covers on the bed we assume were waterproof and they crunched loudly every time you moved which wasn’t nice. And in the kitchen, a supply of fairy liquid and enough dishwasher tabs for one a day would be an added touch so you don’t have to go out and buy them just for a couple of days.
These are tiny details though and clearly would not stop us returning!
The complex is beautifully maintained, pool clean, people nice, and tavira is stunning, but we knew that already hence returning!

We had 6 lovely days in Tavira and fell in love with the place. Felt such an authentic place, not too busy or touristy and stunning. The apartment was lovely, met our needs perfectly and the proximity to the pool was brilliant. The roof top terrace a real bonus - although needs better lighting at night!
We will be back I think, it’s a special place

Apartment met all expectations and had everything we could need. Had a lovely view over the very quiet pool area and then onto Tavira itself. Tavira is a great place with lots of bars and restaurants with spectacular beaches within easy reach on a lovely boat trip on which we saw beautiful Flamingos on the salt flats. Town is easily accessed from the apartment by a short 10/15 minute walk along the river. However this does involve 108 steps which is great going down and manageable coming back. Surrounding coastal area is fabulous (Cacela Velha) and is certainly worth a visit. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely return and recommend to friends.

This apartment is located an easy walk into the old town of Tavira and close to restaurants. We loved the brightness of the apartment and the outdoor spaces. It was an ideal location for getting out of town on our bikes (which was the main reason for our visit). Gail is a wonderful owner/host and very attentive. Any concerns are dealt with in a timely fashion. We would stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality Gail.

This place has it all - the view from the fabulous rooftop terrace equipped with loungers, BBQ and dining area, large clean pool, the comfortable living room, well equipped kitchen, beautiful big bathrooms and electronic blackout blinds. BUT, where is the Portuguese welcome we were expecting - bottle of wine, bread, cheese that our friends enjoyed at their place? We couldnt even find salt and pepper, no basic spices or condiments anywhere. This would have been REALLY nice, given that there is a large hill to navigate to the nearest store with no car. The master bedroom needs a queen or king bed since the room can certainly accomodate larger than the existing double. All the pillows need replacement with at least 2 per person in each bed room (flat and lumpy they all are). These little things would have elevated the place to where it claims to be price wise. Otherwise, a comfortable, lovely stay.

We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful apartment in Tavira from January 29 to February 13. Spacious apartment with two bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious living room with spacious kitchen with all amenities. There is a beautiful roof terrace with sun loungers and (gas) BBQ. We were kindly welcomed by the 'manager' Dulce and Joao who showed us around and had good tips for trips in the area. Furthermore, they were very helpful if something needed to be resolved, such as a defective coffee machine, great! We had very pleasant email exchanges with the owner, Gail, about the booking. The apartment is located on a hill and via a staircase you can reach the center of the beautiful and cozy town of Tavira with delicious restaurants in a 15-minute walk. We have been to Tavira many times, but always in a hotel. We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and are going to book it for three weeks next year.
We had an excellent holiday, partly due to our stay in this penthouse, Dulce, Joao and Gail, many thanks,

We had a fantastic time , rooftop deck was the best . The pool was very close for easy access and never busy . The proximity to the old town was perfect and driving around .and parking at the condo was very easy . The master suite could use a larger bed and a little update for the tap . A few little things like no garbage bags or laundry soap or dishwasher soap would help out . A good cleaning and window wash would be great . Overall we had a great time thank you Gail .

We had a short stay at the house but we absolutely love it! We were already excited from the moment we booked it and it was amazing to see everything matched and even surpassed our expectations! The place was clean, fully equipped, with amazing areas and exclusive roof top. The shared pool was great as well. It was never too crowded and the surrounding area was very quiet. Super close to the centre of Tavira, just a 10min walk. Can’t wait to go back!

The accommodation was perfect, clean, tidy and had everything we could possibly need. The roof top terrace was the icing on the cake.
The pool was never busy or over crowed great to relax and let the children play safely.
Communication with the host has been easy.
We were met at the apartment on arrival and given all the information we needed.
Was just perfect
Hoping to return in the future… thank you

We had a great time in Tavira and loved the penthouse. It was very well equiped, comfortable, homely and modern. The roof terrace was superb and the electric awning meant sun to shade was easy. The pool was also excellent and just a few steps from the door. We will definitely stay again. Thank you Gail.

The apartment is spacious, light and airy and well equipped. The kitchen was excellent. The roof terrace is large and well furnished with a table and chairs and sun loungers. The communal pool is big enough to satisfy most swimmers and was warm enough and empty enough to be readily available. This is perfect for a holiday and it is only 15 minutes walk to the lively and atmospheric centre of Tavira. .

We had a wonderful stay at Gail's Penthouse - the apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. The roof terrace is great with lots of space for sunbathing, eating or just relaxing.
Location is very good, only a 10-15 min walk into town and also easy access from the main road if travelling around the area.
Communication with the host was excellent.
Would highly recommend.

We had eight wonderful days staying at Gail’s place in Tavira. The location is perfect, as it is within
a very quiet modern residential area yet within easy reach of the town. It also has the advantage of being higher up so the air feels fresher.
The furnishings and appliances are all very modern and functioned well, the beds comfortable. It is in immaculate condition. Gail responded quickly to a few emailed general questions about the area.
Parking on the one way road was easy, and it was very easy to get onto the ring road.
We enjoyed the pool and landscaped gardens, stargazed on the roof at night.

Fantastic 4 week stay at Gail's spacious apartment. Communication with Gail from start to finish was excellent and we had a few issues during our stay which were dealt with speedily. The rooftop was amazing with ample room for dining and sunbathing. There were plenty of kitchen utensils/crockery as we dined in quite a bit. There's also plenty of beach equipment which we made use of. The only downside is the location being quite high above sea level with having to climb 120 steps most days (although we were aware of this before we went).

Beautiful apartment
We have just returned from two weeks in Gail’s apartment. It is truly a home from home. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and everything you need to make a wonderful holiday. The outside space is a real bonus with a large roof terrace with stunning views. The complex is very quiet with a large pool and plenty of parking. The gardens and sunbed decking are very well kept. It is very close to all the restaurants and shops in Tavira where you are spoilt for choice where to eat each night. Tavira and the surrounding area is very special. Thoroughly recommend.

We were very happy with our stay. Check in process was simple and effective with some flexibility on timings that is always a plus, if the property is not busy. The photos in the site match the reality, so no complains. Just take into account the location is not Tavira town center. You better have a car. Walking is also an option if you don't mind to walk 15 minutes, for example if you don't have small kids it should not be a problem. Also there is not support infrastructures close (coffee, supermarket, etc, nothing), that for us was not a problem and we even prefer it for being a quite area (street with no exit so very small traffic). In general it was a great option, value for money, no luxury but the cost is aligned and the conditions are more than Ok. Roof top is definitely a plus with a great view. Common swimming pool was very good also, not too busy and clean all time. There were very small issues in the apartment that GAIL can easy solve and that did not impact our stay. We would recommended for sure and would return.

Absolutely Fantastic
Gorgeous apartment - really spacious and the rooftop terrace was lovely. The pool is incredible and rarely busy, plus it is only a few steps from the apartment. It’s about a 20 min walk to/from town but a pleasant walk. We didn’t hire a car and found a taxi rank just outside the mini supermarket in town - only €5 for a trip back. We loved every day of our stay in beautiful Tavira and at this apartment and would recommend and return in a heartbeat.

Fantastic Villa with rooftop terrace
This is a beautiful property which has a prime location within the complex, looking right over the pool and getting sun on the balcony from early in the morning, and on the roof terrace all day long.
Air con, WiFi, massive pool, great kitchen, sun loungers, everything you need for a great holiday.
If you love Tavira like we do, you won't find a better 2 bed property than this. The complex has many properties which owners do not let out, so there are never more than a handful of people around the pool, even in school holidays. It is a perfect location with the town centre only a 5-10 minute walk away.
All comms with the local agent were excellent and as they look after a large number of properties on the complex, they are always available to come out or send someone if you have any issues at all.
We will be booking up again for next year.

Perfect Getaway
Our family of four had a fantastic time at Gail's penthouse.
The property had everything we needed, from beach towels and beach toys to gin glasses and excellent Wi-Fi! The kitchen was well stocked. The beds and pillows were really comfy. The bathrooms were a really good size. The roof terrace, sunbeds and canopy were a delight. The balcony off the living room was equally nice for a coffee on a morning and a glass of wine after we'd put the children to bed.
The complex itself was wonderful and the huge pool was clean and rarely busy. There was no problem getting a sunbed. Families tended to come and go rather than staying there all day.
We didn't hire a car and were still able to get around with ease. The transfer from the airport was only 40 Euros in a mini bus. The walk into Tavira did involve 120 steps, but our four year old had no problem with them. It is quite a gentle walk up and down. As soon as you reach the bottom of the steps you are greeted with the Gilao river and the walk into town really is very pleasant.
Tavira itself is absolutely beautiful and a day out at the beach (via the ferry) is a must.
Gail was lovely to deal with throughout the booking process; very friendly and helpful. We were greeted at the apartment by her property manager - again this was really easy. We had no problems during our stay.
All in all we had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be returning.

Wonderful penthouse within walking distance to a lovely village.
This property is modern, comfortable, very well equipped with excellent parking. The owner is attentive and eager to ensure that your stay is seamless. Tavira is a lovely village which offers convenient shopping and many restaurants. The Spanish border is less than 45 minutes away by car. Highly recommended and we will be back!!!

Great location in the Eastern Algarve
This property is just outside the downtown area of Tavira. It's a three-minute drive, or an eight-minute walk. The walk entails going down 120 steps to the river road, but it's not onerous. The walkability of the location is one of its major assets. The apartment itself is terrific -- two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and most importantly, a rooftop deck that is the same square footage as the living area. Parking is not a problem. The complex is quiet, and yet you're in a wonderful location to visit all of the eastern Algarve and its activities and sites. We'll be booking this apartment again -- great service, well maintained, and in a lovely area.

Fantastic Penthouse
It was everything we wanted. Great location, fantastic complex. Swimming pool was well maintained and very much appreciated but the apartment was amazing. The icing on the cake was the rooftop space and the barbecue. We spent every night watching the sunset and the stars - wonderful.

Relaxing holiday
All pictures on the website are correct. It is 10-15 minutes walk into town centre via steps in pictures.
Well equipped apartment with great air con.
Contact with Gail is superb answers messages very quickly and any issues dealt with quickly.
Pool area is lovely, shallow pool for small children , larger pool is graduated depth which is great for older children and adults.
You can have inflatables and balls in the pool within reason.
Grassed area that you can play footy on, very important for my boys.
Aldi, Lidl in the town centre for cheaper food and many local shops/ markets available.
Lots of beach toys, chairs and umbrella and cooler box stored in cupboard near front door that houses the electric circuit box etc
Had a great time eating food on the penthouse roof. Although it’s very hot in summer! There’s a sun canopy that we had over us daily.

Beautiful Tavira
Our stay at this property in Tavira was wonderful. Gail was a great host who communicated with us so well. This well equipped, modern property was just what my husband and teenage girls wanted. A short walk into the township of Tavira and eateries just down the road if you prepared to eat closer to home.
Lovely swimming pool and during the heatwave the air conditioning was appreciated greatly. This is a lovely place to stay and would highly recommend this property 😀�

Bright and spacious
We had booked the penthouse on a recommendation and were very impressed when we saw it for real. It is bright, spacious and well laid out with everything we needed and more. It is also immaculately clean. The crowning glory is the private roof terrace where we relaxed and dined most days. The walk to town involved descending 120 steps to the river but for those not keen on walking, there is the option of a road and a taxi home, if need be. Tavira itself is a beautiful town, with interesting places to visit and lots of cafes and restaurants. A trip on the ferry to Tavira Island is well worth it. Once past the sun worshipers congregated under the "sunbrellas", there is a vast expanse of deserted beach to wander on. A short bus run from Tavira to Cabanas is also worth doing and gives access to easy, quiet walks beyond the decked prom. There are lots of other trips that we could have done but our plan was relaxation. I'm glad we went in May, before the season hotted up. I would most definitely recommend this apartment and location.

The most amazing penthouse appartment in Tavira
This penthouse is simply the most beautiful apartment we have ever stayed in via HomeAway.
It is decorated to the highest standard , is equipped with everything you could ever need and really feels like home.
The position of the apartment in Tavira is absolutely perfect and very close to the town. However it is positioned in beautifully kept gardens and a quiet street.
The roof terrace is the best part about it, totally private, great views and very peaceful
Dulce met us at the beginning of the holiday and was very helpful. Gail's communication and attention to detail is second to none.
I would highly recommend that you try this apartment.
