Apartment in Tavira, Eastern Algarve, Portugal - Quiet Location, A Few Minutes Walk To Shops, Bars, Restaurants And Market
Sleeps 2 (+2 on sofa bed) plus baby. Quality 1-bed first floor apartment in a modern,secure complex with a cobbled courtyard and a relaxing swimming pool.
Set in the quiet back streets of historic Tavira and surrounded by typical Algarve houses, it's central location allows you to leave the car behind and immerse yourself in the local atmosphere by walking through the narrow cobbled streets, peering through open doors to see a secret courtyard or visiting small shops for their locally produced products.
At night Tavira is a bustling city with a multitude of restaurants on either side of the river providing a variety of cuisine. During the summer months, in the main square, you can pass away the late evening hours watching the live shows, or listen to the music whilst enjoying a cool drink at one of the al fresco cafes. Tavira accommodates all tastes and styles throughout each season and the apartment is ideally positioned to meet your needs.
The apartment is only 2 minutes walk to a bar and café, 5 minutes to the market for fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables and only a few minutes walk to shops, restaurants and the riverside.
Set in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, Tavira has retained a lot of its old character and avoided mass tourism. As it is not solely a holiday resort, it is still a good place to visit in winter. It is ideally situated for exploring the whole Algarve and also Spain (30 km away). There are 6 golf courses within a 20km radius, including Benamor (4km), Quintas Ria and Cima (7km). Take a ferry to Tavira island beaches, hire bikes and cycle old tracks or walk for miles on empty beaches.
The apartment has a living/dining room with sliding windows which open onto the balcony overlooking the pool. There is a new sofa which converts into a double bed. The kitchen, overlooking the street and traditional roof tops, is at the back and is fully fitted including washing machine and dishwasher. The bedroom also overlooks the quiet street and has a double bed and a range of fitted cupboards. The small balcony catches the early morning sun. Licence no. 1313/AL
About Sylvia Dean
Although I grew up in London, I now live in a small village in South Northamptonshire. Now retired, I worked in education. We first visited Tavira in1982 with our young children and after returning many times decided to see if it was possible to visit without using a car. It is!
Sylvia Dean purchased this apartment in 2009
Why Sylvia Dean chose Tavira region
We fell in love with this apartment at the first viewing. It is well built and equipped, secure, and the position is so convenient . Because the development has permanent Portuguese residents, there is always someone around, even in the winter -which is when we mostly visit.
What makes this apartment unique
We like to sit on the balcony looking at the local house roof tops and Sao Sebastian church. We see birds swooping down to drink in the swimming pool and watch the bats come out at dusk.

Wonderful!

Beautiful, spotlessly clean, perfect location, loved every day .
The property was the perfect apartment, only minutes from the centre. It was as described, beautiful, spotless and very comfy. The owner made everything really easy. I would definitely stay there again, thank you
An excellent appartment
This is a well appointed and very spacious one bedroom apartment. It is very well equipped and provides many extras. It was spotlessly clean and the arrival pack plus wine was a surprise and much appreciated. The linen service was an added bonus as we were staying a month and laundry was not really on the agenda. The apartment is situated in an excellent central secure location and is only minutes from the main square in the Tavira town ideal for bars and restaurants. Mr and Mrs Dean could not have been more helpful and the deposit repayment was very swift. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to friends in fact I already have!. Barry and Penny Emmett
Central, modern apartment with pool
A lovely position, easy walking to everywhere. Flat clean, and everything good quality; excellent kitchen. There was a garage and a lift right outside the flat, so easy access if less mobile. The pool was closed when we were there but kept clean. Only negative for us was there is no private terrace for sunbathing; you are in full view of the whole complex and a neighbour has to walk past you to get to their flat. When we were there it was very quiet. Owner friendly and helpful.
Very nice apartment.
We, a family of 4, enjoyed our stay in this apartment very much. Everything we could think of was available in the apartment. Our contact with the owner was very nice. The terras outside and the swimming pool in front were very nice to stay at. Also the apartment is situated ideally to the center of Tavira, everything within walking distance and also very quiet.
Perfect
We had a great holiday ,the apartment was very well furnished ,spacious and clean with everything we needed .Having aircon and wifi was brilliant and the pool was an added bonus to cool off after a day's exploring .The location is excellent ,only a few minutes walk to the centre of town ,shops and beach ferry . Hope to return again and would recommend without hesitation .
Tavira apartment
The apartment was superb! Extremely clean, modern and very well equipped. It was ideally situated with only a few minutes walk to the centre of town.
Great communication with the owner and we were grateful to leave our luggage in the garage on our final day as we had an evening flight home.
Would love to return one day!
