Riverside apartment with private pool in old town - WiFi

Extremely spacious two-bedroom apartment in a restored manor house in a prime riverside location in the historical center of Tavira. Double doors from the living room and kitchen of the apartment open onto a private courtyard garden with swimming pool. During the summer months, the ferryboat to the beach at Ilha de Tavira leaves from the quayside in Tavira town, around 100m from the apartment. At other times of the year, the boat leaves from Quatro Aguas which is around 1km further along the river. There are several other blue flag beaches and golf courses within a few minutes drive. The apartment is extremely conveniently located for both the beach and the town. The riverfront restaurants are close at hand and the Old Market and Roman Bridge are only a couple of minutes walk away. You can spend hours strolling the charming cobblestone streets of this lovely old town with its many restaurants, shops, bars and terraces to enjoy a refreshment in the sun. This beautiful manor house dates from the early 19th century and has been tastefully renovated to high specifications, using natural materials and retaining historical features - such as the traditional Tavira roofs and windows with interior wooden shutters, as well as thick walls which keep the property warm in winter and cool in summer. The apartment is furnished to a high standard with a combination of antique and contemporary furniture. It is an excellent base for either a summer or winter break.

An extra special week in Tavira
This property was delightful in every way. It was quiet and spacious. The front door lead straight out onto the street facing the waterfront. The back doors lead onto a patio by the pool and outdoor table setting, great to relax in the warm October evenings. There was a lovely alfresco restaurant next door and many others easy walking distance in this quaint town exuding history and local industry and culture. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were spacious and well equipped. Kitchen well equipped also. Loved every minute of it.

Wonderful experience
Catarina made our check-in and checkout process extremely easy and she was very helpful and responsive. For us, the location was excellent and very close to many great restaurants and easy to walk to the Castle and churches. Very convenient for the ferry to Tavira Island Beach, which is a must do if you come. Eat at Sunshine Cafe on the island and at Nikita 30 feet from the apartment. We would definitely stay here or at another property managed by Catarina’s company in the future and hope to do so. Tavira was just wonderful, did not want to leave.

Hot week in Tavira
My wife, myself and two friends stayed for a week, having stayed at the property previously. Unfortunately when we arrived the Air Con had stopped working, just one of those things and unfortunate it was during our stay. A new entire system was installed to get it back up and running. It meant that we were without Air Con for a number of days, again unfortunate during a hot spell. However the owner promptly gave us an appropriate refund before the end of our stay. I would happily return and would especially recommend the place as it’s location could not be more perfect close to all amenities, after an airport transfer no car required.

Great place to stay. 5*
Lovely ,central location with access to loads of bars and restaurants and 5 minutes from a cheap supermarket if we wanted to stay in. Own private pool a real bonus in the heat. The white sangria at Ofelias Cocktail bar is awesome but lethal, especially if you get 2 litres for 25 euros. 😀😀😀

Everything about this property was great. The property management company was very responsive. We had one issue and that was the hot water. The owner knew about this prior to our stay. Too bad we were not given an opportunity to get a different place. But in the end only 3 days was the after lukewarm. The last 4 day it was warm enough to take a shower.

Fabulous ground floor apartment with it own pool right in the centre of Tavira. No need for a car everything within easy walking distance, including a boat to a fabulous beach. Countless very good places to eat. In a town that is not too busy nor too quiet. We will return.

A hidden oasis in Tavira.
We had an amazing time we ate in and out in equal measure. There is a great choice of places to eat dinner and lunch. But why would you want to go out when you have a great sized swimming pool good terrace area to relax and enjoy a drink. The apartment is very clean and well equipped with everything you need.

Central yet quiet
Excellent and personal welcome by the managing agency (they are just 30m up the street so check in and check out are a breeze), noise levels are low thanks to double glazing doors to the street. Pool is large and clean but there's no fencing so not ideal for little kids. Kitchen well fitted out, everything's working. Overall very well maintained and recommended.

Great Stay!
We had an excellent stay at this apartment - both clean and spacious. It was amazing to have our own private pool to come back to and relax in, right in the center of town. It could not have been more convenient to many restaurants and cafés as well as the ferry to the beach (which is just across the street). Despite being very accessible to everything, it was amazingly quiet at night. An added bonus is that there was parking right in front of the apartment. Tavira is a very charming town - we highly recommend both it and this apartment!!

Tolle Lage zur Altstadt und zum Strand von Tavira
Die großzügige Wohnung liegt perfekt am Fluß von Tavira unweit der schönen Altstadt. Die Fähre zum vorgelagerten Strand fährt wenige Meter vor dem Haus. Man braucht also kein Auto. Obwohl es sich lohnt mit dem Auto die schöne Umgebung um Tavira zu erkundschaften. Die Ausstattung in der Küche war für 5 Personen umzureichend. Es fehlten Pfannen und entsprechend große Töpfe. Deshalb haben wir im Hof gegrillt, was gut ging. Leider war der Pool nicht ganz sauber und da besserte sich auch im Lauf
