About this property

Tavira Historic Centre - Excellent Restored Townhouse

Charming 3 storey restored townhouse( 2009) , close to all amenities, Casa Branca refurbished and equipped to a high standard, using traditional materials. 3 double bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sunny living room and large fully equipped kitchen. Broadband, cable tv and phone for free calls inside Portugal, air-conditioning/heating. (The narrow open tread stair to the bedrooms is not suitable for very young children, or people with mobility problems.)

Close to the River Gilao with its Roman bridge, the 13th century castle, and gardens, and the hilly cobbled streets home to some blue and white houses. Churches - Tavira has 37 of them. And if you need a break pop into one of the cafes in the Praca da Republic for a coffee and a Pastel de Nata. At night you can enjoy the many cultural and musical events only 2 minutes from home. Or take the ferry or water taxi to the Ilha da Tavira. Close by are other beaches to enjoy Barril, Cabanas, Manta Rota. Sta Lucia is close by with its vibrant fishing and cafe scene.

Lovely property in the heart of Tavira
Ann is amazing as a host. The property was clean and as advertised, within easy walking distance of the town. Free parking was available within a few minutes walk. This was perfect for a short break - we even made Christmas dinner here

Overall pretty satisfied, though the stairs are very narrow ( getting a big suitcase up and down is a challenge)

Excellent restored town house in central location
Our party (4 of us) stayed in early September, so weather still hot. The house is immaculately presented with a very well equipped kitchen, air conditioning that is fully functional and three comfortable bedrooms, one of them in the roof. The bathroom is small, but we managed well enough. A very stout person might struggle a little in it with the door closed. Plenty of towels and bedding are provided and the owner kindly left us a bottle of wine and some beer for when we arrived. Location is picturesque, down a side road with trees and traditional tile fronted buildings - very peaceful. Vasvi the caretaker was very helpful. He lives very near by and will pick up from the airport on request. He helped sort out a blocked drain outside the house without delay. The river front is a very short walk away with its excellent restaurants, cafes and ferry terminal for the beach island and river taxis. All in all, I can highly recommend it.

Fantastic little place in the heart of Tavira
A little gem in the center of Tavira. The location is excellent, you can walk everywhere in the city and the ferry to the beach is just around the corner. The Villa is well equipped with all the amenities you will need for your stay and all the rooms are a good size. It was clean and well maintained and has a seating area outside, which is lovely in the morning. Be aware that the spiral stair case is narrow and the bathroom is on the small side, in saying this the men in the group (both over 6ft) had no problem with it. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at the fantastic price offered on Owners Direct. Ann is extremely friendly and helpful. We had a wedding to go to and Ann offered to help us in any way that she could. We couldn't have asked for a better Holiday, this place comes highly recommended. Thank you Ann, you made our trip a memorable one.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Byron

Host profile image
We've been living near Tavira for many years, both retired architects. We owned a little house in the country near Tavira which rented for holiday lets. We fell in love with this little town house, Casa Branca, and its 'downtown' location, uniquely located in this little tree'd square, and are using it for our family and friends, and for holiday rentals.

Why they chose this property

Excellent Location, refurbished to a high standard, in a very charming and friendly neighbourhood. We love Tavira which is quite unique, little changed over the past 25 years since we have known it, and the perfect place to unwind and relax,

What makes this property unique

Location - the little square with orange trees, very peaceful and safe, close to shops, bars and restaurants, the River, and great summer events in the Praca Republica, and various churches.
Beaches - Pristine Blue flag beaches, Ria Formosa lagoon, with its unique vegetation and birdlife.
Culture - summer music and dance festivals, markets, art and exhibitions.
Food and Drink. Famous for its mediterranean diet of local fish locally sourced fruit, vegetables, olive oil, and wine. Good restaurants very reasonably priced. Come and enjoy a gourmet break.
