Easter stay

Well modernised property. Very comfortable beds. Not for anyone with mobility issues or young children as stairs to upstairs bedrooms and upper terrace very difficult to negotiate. Also on toilet on ground floor.

Very comfortable stay

Well planned, spotlessly clean and very well equipped property in a quiet street with lovely old tiled houses. Vicky the property owner was very helpful and really organised with suggestions on what to see and she responds very quickly. Tavira is beautiful and picturesque and a great place for a relaxed stay. The house is only a few minutes walk from the centre, restaurants and the ferry to get to the beach so very convenient. Has a nice terrace to sit and enjoy a meal in the sun. It is a townhouse (2 bedrooms upstairs and bathroom, kitchen and another bedroom downstairs) and the space is used really well- very deceptive from the outside! The stairs to get to the two bedrooms on the 1st floor are quite steep and jutting so not ideal if there are very young children about - it was not a problem for us however. A great stay and would highly recommend both Tavira and Casa Mirasol!

Lovely house in excellent location

House was as described and comfortable. Two sets of stairs/steps are steep and of stone/tiled so care required on them. Otherwise very happy with the house, the welcome. Location wise it lived up to the description in that it was a couple of minutes walk to the main square and eateries - we had some very good meals in Tavira - and access to shops, supermarkets and local market also only a couple of minutes on foot. Walks to salt pans and short boat trip to beach on Tavira island enjoyable experiences in themselves. Surrounding area has lots to offer and drive into Spain is short and direct. Even went to Seville for the day! Local people so friendly and helpful to.

Fabulous house in a great location

The house was the perfect place to stay for our first visit to Tavira. It was beautifully decorated and had everything you could need for a relaxing break. We enjoyed using the terraces, particularly the one at the end, which was the perfect place to chill out at the end of the day. Vicky was a great host, meeting us on arrival and providing loads of information about Tavira (where to go, where to eat). The goodies in the fridge were also much appreciated. We fell in love with Tavira and would definitely stay in Casa Marisol when we next return!

About the host

Hosted by The Owner

We are a Portuguese husband and English wife team who frequently visited Portugal for holidays. We chose Tavira to settle and raise our family, as not only was it my husbands birth place, but also one of the most beautiful and family orientated places we had ever visited. The children settled and adjusted to life in Portugal immediately and have all been educated locally. My husband is in construction and I am forever finding him little jobs to do. Our Tavira house project started out as one of these little jobs..

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with the house. It was in a bad state of repair, but had such great potential and such a unique feel to it. Something that we couldn’t let slip by was the chance to own a part our family culture and heritage and the great opportunity to conserve this for future generations. “Just a lick of paint” is the phrase I remember using to convince my husband to buy. In reality we replaced everything, all that remained was the original outer thick clay and stone walls, designed to keep the property cool in summer and warm in winter, and it’s amazing historical location which can never be taken away. The renovation was a joint family effort and has been described by our family and friends as a true labour of love..

What makes this property unique

We consider ourselves to be very priviliged to own a part of the Historical Old Town, the perfect central location is an asset that can never be taken away from the house. During renovation we made the decision not to destroy this unique property by converting it into separate apartments as many do, but to keep the original size and structure with it’s unique outdoor spaces, capturing sun & shade all day long..Perfect for accommodating family get together’s and friendly reunions. Renovated to a high standard, constantly maintained and updated with all modern living conditions, yet retaining many original features..charming, beautiful and comfortable. We used locally sourced traditional materials like the handmade clay floor tiles and high wooden ceilings. It is a true representation of the unique atmosphere that Tavira still retains. By keeping it’s unique charm we are hopefully capturing the essence of Tavira and its lovely warm & welcoming locals and it is this, along with it’s great central location, large proportions and amazing outdoor spaces, friendly locals yet lovely and quiet..that makes our home in Tavira a very special place to stay
