APARTMENT JOSIE, Town Centre

Cozy apartment perfectly placed in the center of historical Tavira town, nestled amongst shops and a tempting array of restaurants. Situated on the second floor of a private building, balconies front and back overlook the river and a traditional cobbled street. The well-appointed rooms offer a comfortable stay providing the perfect destination for guests wishing to enjoy a combined beach and town holiday, with the ferry to the golden sands of Tavira Island departing from the nearby harbor. r>


Access to the apartment is by stairs, with a street entrance and a private apartment entrance on the second floor. Tucked neatly at the back of the apartment are 2 bedrooms, 1 king size room with ensuite shower, and a twin room with use of a separate bathroom with bathtub. The long hallway melts into the lounge, with comfy sofas giving room to relax, read or watch TV. Alongside this, a separate kitchen, fully equipped for home catering, has patio doors leading to a balcony running the length of the apartment, ideally positioned to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun. In contrast, the bedroom balcony overlooking the traditional cobbled street and the Taviranese rooftops provides a welcome respite from the daytime warmth offering the perfect spot for a pre-dinner sundowner, after a hard day at the beach!
