Lovely quiet location but very handy for the shopping mail and a lovely walk into all the great restaurants. The apartment itself has everything needed for a great holiday, lots of space, very clean and very bright. Pool area is great, almost like having your own personal pool. Tavira has lots to offer in terms of the traditional Portuguese experience which we love. We loved the little Co-op bar in the middle of area where the gypsy market sets up monthly(missed it each visit!), its a stones throw from the apartment and Vera and the locals are so friendly, Hoping to make it for a hat trick next year. ##### Butcher i.

My only concern was that some of the windows didn't lock, I know this wasn't a problem as we were on the second floor but it did keep me awake the first night. Lots of lovely touches left at the apartment, milk, tea, coffee, bottles of wine and beer which was so lovely. Beautiful location and all within walking distance. My only concern is dropping off the key at the end of our stay, maybe this needs to be looked at. ##### Kay Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### thomas s.

Vehicle and pedestrian gates so completely secure. Apartment itself is outstanding, pictures dont do it justice. Light and airy, sparkling clean throughout and 2 balconies - so choice of sun or shade. All the furnishings, equipment,linen and towels are of highest quality- a refreshing change for a rental property. The biggest plus is the caring owner, Collette. Communication before and during stay is exemplary, Collette answers e mails immediately. She clearly wants all her guests to enjoy the apartment and surroundings as much as she does.

The welcome items and basic store cupboard items were appreciated. The location is a short distance away from the centre of Tavira with the Gran Plaza shopping complex and supermarket within walking distance.

I don't think there is anything which could be improved. The apartment is light, bright and spacious, well equipped with everything you need for a holiday, or longer. The beds are comfy, bedding and towels good quality, and the air con is super efficient. During our stay there seemed to be very few other apartments occupied so it was very quiet internally and outside in the lovely garden and pool - most of the time we had it to ourselves. We were welcomed by Viktorya, even though our plane and taxi were late and she explained how everything worked, showed us the generous welcome pack and bottle of wine and encouraged us to use anything in the cupboards. Tavira itself is charming, and in the almost 40 degree heat we made much use of the ferry to Tavira Island and its gorgeous beaches. There are scores of cafes, restaurants and shops in the town. Because of the heat we didn't travel far but we did visit nearby Olhao which is very picturesque. What made this stay so welcoming and easy was the communication with owner Collette, who answers all queries usually by return and is so professional and friendly that I feel I have made a new friend. We may never meet, although we hope we might, but I know I have a lovely contact should I ever wish to return. It would certainly be to this lovely apartment if I do. I can't recommend it enough. ##### sue s. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Celia F. Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy ##### Celia F.
