We enjoyed our stay in the apartment that is in the center of everything. Rarely did we even use our car. Wonderful restaurants in walking distance with some a close drive in Santa Luzia.
Apartment was well stocked with beach chairs, cooking supplies, and everything needed for an enjoyable vacation.

We stayed in this property in August 2024 as part of our family holiday. The property has everyting we needed and is exceptionally well equiped. The owner was flexible regarding arrival and departure times. The property was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the use of the pool facility and the closeness to the centre of Tavira and Ferry service to the beach. The property benefits from airconditioning which was welocme given the temperature in excess of 32 degrees.

We stayed in this apartment for a number of years and just love Tavira. The apartment is fantastic and has we need. So relaxing and quiet. Enclosed apartment block with a pool and right in the middle of the town with gorgeous restaurants, cafes and food market within a 5 minute walk. Stunning beaches all close by too.
Can’t wait to return next year.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Nice clean apartment with plenty of space and the pool was a godsend in the heat. Ideally placed for accessing the ferry to Tavira Island a few mins walk away, along with the rest of Tavira centre. The owners were very understanding and accommodating when our flight was cancelled and rebooked, even allowing us to check in early avoiding us having to wait around town with a baby, 4 year old and suitcases. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Pool area close by and beach ferry 5 mins walk.

This is the second time we have stayed in this apartment and it didn’t disappoint, it’s well equipped and have everything we could possibly need. The apartment was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the pool and being able to sit in the balcony on a morning and early evening - we especially enjoyed listening to Mimi the parrot. The apartment is very convenient for the town and the ferry to the beach. Thanks again for letting us stay. Kathleen, Steve, Robbie and Lucy

Great spacious apartment in a wonderful town, within walking distance to all the restaurants and the beach ferry. Only problems are the parrot and the glass bins being collected at two in the morning.

Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful stay at Chris’ apartment. The location is perfect, just a short walk away from the river and the beautiful historic centre of Tavira. The apartment is spacious and well stock with everything you could possibly need. The pool was perfect for our children - and us! Chris and his team couldn’t have been more helpful. Lots of wonderful family memories were made on this holiday. Thank you.

Quiet little spot nestled in the centre of town
Had a amazing week here end of June start of July 2019. Apartment was clean and also spacious as well as being child friendly. Chris was very quick to answer any of our questions and accommodated our early check in and requests with ease. Check in was simple and fast and everything explained clearly. As the header states this apartment is in the centre of town within 2 mins walk of the Roman bridge where during the summer all sorts of festivities take place and it gets quite loud. However you don’t here a thing from the apartment when you get back to relax or put lil one to bed in our case. Pool is cleaned daily and is a nice place to go and chill out.. again I can’t rate this apartment enough for us with it being so close to the town and all amenities and the quietness on the evening a real little find and will be hopefully staying here more often

Wonderful stay in Tavira
We really enjoyed our stay in this well equipped and comfortable apartment which is only a 5 min walk from Tavira centre. We especially liked the outdoor seated area which was cushioned and was perfect for having a glass of wine in one hand and a book in the other! The apartment is in a quiet area and the complex is small and quiet too. The restaurants in Tavira are of a high standard and there are loads to choose from even though Tavira itself is quite small. It is one of THE most relaxing places and staying in this apartment made the unwinding process so easy.
Chris the owner responded quickly to emails. Sandra, our Meet & Greet person was great also.
We loved it and will definitely be back.

Beautiful apartment
The apartment is lovely and spacious. It is a few minutes walk from the indoor market and restaurants and shops but is in a quiet area. Underground parking is a real bonus. Would stay again again if visiting Tavira

Fantastic
We absolutely loved our time at the apartment, it was spacious, clean, well maintained and well equipped, it had everything we could possibly need. The apartment was in the perfect location for us, close to the town, beach ferry and supermarket. We would love to stay again when we go back to Tavira. A special thank you to Chris for fantastic communication during booking etc and to Sandra for showing us around the apartment when we arrived and for answering any questions we had during our holidays. With regards to the parrot in the apartments opposite us, we loved her, yes she talked and sang during the day but was taken inside every evening. We enjoyed listening to her.

LOCATION TAVIRA
Je ne parle pas l'anglais, j'espère donc ne pas commettre d'impair. Location conforme au descriptif. Appartement confortable très bien situé en plein centre de TAVIRA dans un ensemble très calme. Pas besoin de voiture sauf pour les promenades ( indispensables ) dans la région. Les propriétaires sont très réactifs. A recommander.

Superb Apartment in beautifil Tavira
We spent a wonderful ten days in this apartment and it felt so relaxing we really didn't want to leave. This was our second visit to this great apartment, it has everything that you need and is located close to the centre of beautiful Tavira. The apartment is modern, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We made daily use of the delightful swimming pool, after swimming we enjoyed relaxing by the pool on the sun loungers available for our use. The location of the apartment is close to the centre of Tavira, so all the restaurants are within walking distance and great value for money, you really are spoilt for choice. There is also a large supermarket within walking distance that is well stocked, the seafood counter was particularly impressive. I would highly recommend this apartment as it has everything you need in a great location and we will definitely be booking again.

Worthwhile staying here
We have been to these apartments before and they continue to impress with location, dedicated underground parking and security in a relatively peaceful part of the town but still only a 5 minute walk to the centre.
The apartment was clean and well stocked with everything needed. Our flight was late (11.30pm) but we were met and greeted and shown how everything worked.
The apartment is an end one, so no-one ever has to walk past if you’re sitting out on the balcony. The only downside which spoiled the tranquility was a pet grey parrot in the apartment directly opposite and which was set outside in its cage all day. If you don’t mind loud fire alarm imitations, wolf whistles, dive bomb sounds and Swanee whistle noises, (or if you’re out exploring all day), it shouldn’t be a problem. The cuteness factor wore off pretty quick!
In saying that, it’s an apartment we would probably use again because of where it’s located and what it offers in proximity to the town. We have visited Tavira regularly over the past 10 years and have stayed in numerous places in and around the area. This apartment is in our Top 3!

Great condo and great location
We spent just under a week in the Tavira apartment in May. Both of us were impressed by the apartment itself. Spacious, (it could sleep six) comfortable, spotless, well appointed. It suited our needs perfectly. As regular travellers, we were particularly pleased with the washing machine, which worked perfectly. (Other places have been less satisfactory.) Lynne, in particular, appreciated the pool, and used it almost everyday.
The apartment is very close to the centre of town, two or three blocks from markets, restaurants, easily walkable to the river etc. I have a slightly limited mobility so that, and presence of the elevator was most welcome.
George and Sandra, who look after the apartment, were extremely helpful - explaining how everything worked, and coming to the rescue when we did something wrong.
All in all, we had a great time in Tavira and in the apartment and are currently trying to figure out how to get back there in the fall. Lynne and Colin

Tavira Apartment
This was a well maintained, spacious and secure apartment located on the first floor of this purpose built complex. The property benefits from a south facing balcony which catches the winter sun and makes for pleasant afternoons relaxing in the warm sunshine. The apartment is centrally located in the old town and only a few minutes walk from its many restaurants and bars. Nearby to the apartment is Tavira's wonderful market which offers fresh fish, locally produced meat and charcuterie and abundant fruit and vegetables.
For those who want to play golf there is a plethora of courses to choose from and the region offers other outdoor activities such as walking and cycling with dedicated cycle and walking routes away from traffic.
Perhaps a criticism that I would make concerned the lack of variety in the cooking pots provided. I did a lot of home cooking and found that the pots available were in the main too large when cooking for one. That is a quibble of little moment though. What I would really have appreciated would have been access to Premiership football games which required a subscription to be taken out and that was lacking in the satellite TV facility on offer.
Overall I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment for its comfort, amenities, location and the support provided by the owner through his local agent.

Good location good accomodation
This is a lovely apartment in a great location in the centre of Tavira . 5 minutes walk to the river and the restaurant area. Tavira is a lovely old town that is a lot more "Portuguese" than most of the towns in the west. (No Burger King or KFC in sight).
The apartment is well furnished with a modern kitchen and air condition in all rooms. The only thing I would say is the pool area is small and the pool furniture in the apartment is only 2 chairs and a couple of beach mats.
All in all though a very enjoyable holiday.
