Memorable 🥵
Location close to the centre of Tavira. Nice garden and a salt water pool with wooden loungers but plastic covers.
Some of the photos on booking.com are not reflective of the property now. There is no reception or communal area. You have to walk into town to buy drinks and food. We arrived after a long journey - not even a bottle of water and the fridge in the room wasn’t even plugged in. We were then given a long list of rules - including how to use a drinking glass! The owner lives downstairs and rents the 3 bedrooms above. We asked for an extra pillow because we had one very small one each but he didn’t have any. Told us to use a knitted cushion instead. The bed covers are woolly and don’t get washed in between stays - you get a view of the washing. Read the small print as there is no cleaning - fresh towels on a chair outside on day 4 and that is it. No kettle, just a glass each that is not changed so is grubby. Balcony would have a nice view of river but has canvas ‘sails’ over which flap in the wind all night. Main issue was electricity went off on 2 nights so no lights or air con and impossible to open windows due to flapping noise and a door that couldn’t be secured open. The lights were on all around but owner said it was a surge that had happened. The second night he admitted it was a trip switch within the building and decided to investigate by knocking on guest doors to accuse people of using hairdryers or travel adapters in the middle of the night! He knocked us up and then walked straight into our bedroom without asking when it was clear we had just been woken by him as we had been awake most of the night. Contacted customer services - nothing was resolved and this made the owner aggressive and I couldn’t relax after this. All he is interested in is his booking scores and pesters guests about this. People are frightened to leave a bad review due to the responses they will get. We found alternative accommodation for the last night and finally relaxed.

Warm, creative, relaxing, beautiful, happy!
A charming property with a very creative feel. Brilliantly located, only a short walk into Tavira town. It felt like a home from home, we were left to relax, which we did. Sebastiao gave us a warm welcome, he was very kind and he was able to suggest good places to visit. The property has a beautiful pool which we had to ourselves one afternoon. We walked to the ferry each day, probably 10 mins and then a 20 min boat ride to a lovely beach. There is a train line close to the property, however, the train only passes once an hour and does not run between 1am and 7am. I can honestly say it didn’t bother us at all. We hope to visit again one day which is something I don’t usually say!
We loved it all.

Beautiful place in a beautiful town
Lovely and quiet, Sebastiao was really helpful but gave us so much space so it felt very private. Lovely rooms with a good sized balcony and bathroom, with everything we needed. Sebastiao gave us some local recommendations and it’s just a really relaxing place to explore Tavira from.
We loved everything, thank you

Exceptional
I liked the place a lot. It is a vila decorated with the perfection by the owner, who is an amazing artist and a very good host. It has a beautiful garden , the swimingpool with salty water, it is in a peaceful area in the centre of Tavira. What else to wish for a nice and comfortable getaway? Yes, it is next to the railway bridge , but the train goes maybe every 1 hour during the day. Still ok. It only contributes to the charm of this place and gives the avangard touch to its incredible design.

A charming Inn conveniently located in Tavira, with a friendly proprietor.
A lovely colorful small Inn that is just bursting with character and artful touches. it was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Located just a few minutes by foot to the historic quarter and principal restaurant areas. Some reviews commented on the train noise. We did not find it to be bothersome. Since the windows are dual lane and our room was climate controlled, the occasional passing trains did not bother. a lovely balcony and view. abundant free parking immediately adjacent to the hotel and also very near the hotel about a block away.
Small’ish 135cm bed and no power outlets near the bed for use of bed stand appliances. No tea or coffee provided for the kettle and cups in the room. This would’ve been a nice touch given that there are no breakfast places within a few blocks and wasn’t available at the property during the dates of our visit.

Great place to stay when visiting Tavira
Sebastao is a good host with high standards. The room we had was his best with a nice little balcony looking out to the river and a quiet road. Very clean. Excellent breakfast served with a smile. There is a train that passes on the bridge overhead every 1/2 hour to an hour which gives 3 seconds of noise. It stops after midnight until 7am. Not a problem for us. Easy and pleasant walk of only a few minutes to the centre of town. We recommend a stay here.
Don’t like shower curtains. Cling to you when showering in a small cubicle.
