Ideally situated on a wide, tree-lined avenue, just 2 minutes' walk from the railway station and 8minutes' walk from the centre of town, this comfortable apartment has that rare feature amongst townhouses - a good sized garden, with orange and lemon trees. The apartment is the ground floor of an old house, built around the turn of the 19th century when ceilings were high, windows ornate and there was a general feeling of spaciousness. It has been beautifully renovated, retaining many of the charming old features (like a handy well just outside the back door!) and modernised in keeping with the same mood. There are three bedrooms: two doubles and one twin, and two bathrooms. Air conditioning in two of the bedrooms. The air-conditioned dining area and the adjoining kitchen both have tall double doors that open onto a totally secluded, paved patio with bistro tables and chairs, just perfect for a sunny breakfast - or for a shady afternoon tea in the heat of the summer! Off the dining area is the 'snug' - a cosy evening room with two comfortable sofas and a big armchair. The house is in easy walking distance of everything that beautiful Tavira has to offer, and is ideal for a car-free holiday. But for those with cars, there is parking on meters opposite the house and free parking close by. The house is right opposite a small, very peaceful square with exotic trees and flowers that has two cafés and a bakers. There is also a Lidl supermarket tucked away by the railway station, 2 minutes' walk from the house. The Avenida, although just a few minutes' stroll from the centre of town, is sufficiently distant from the town centre to avoid noise, and is an area that is mostly 'Portuguese' rather than 'touristic'. It is a wide street, only busy at Tavira's very modest 'rush hours' (Tavira is an extremely quiet little town), and lined on both sides with jacaranda and other trees.

    The property is full of character and interesting traditional features. The sculary was a nice feature where the small safe and extra china and glasses. Constant met us at the property and talked us through the amenaties. We had an issue with one of the light switches and he resolved the issue immediately. He also helped us find transport to the airport. He could not have been more helpful.

    We had a lovely stay here, the house was ideally placed about a 7 min walk to the main square where there was entertainment every night.The house is well stocked with hand soap, toilet paper, dish washing liquid, cloths, tea bags, coffee, sugar, milk and a bottle of wine was left for us arriving, a thoughtful touch. There were also cleaning supplies and laundry liquid and softener, we replaced anything we finished. We found the house comfortable, the beds especially so, as the mattress are firm. We loved the garden and made full use of it, but be warned there are mosquitoes lots of them and we were all badly bitten the first night. The house is comfortable and well loved, the only problems we found were the glass panels above bedroom doors, if anyone was in the lounge, at night the light shone into the bedrooms through the glass, which was a problem if anyone went to bed early. The other thing was the mirrors in the bedroom and back bathroom, none of our party of 5 adults could see in them as they were hung so high up! We had to buy small mirrors for shaving and doing makeup and hair. We would highly recommend this apartment.

    We enjoyed a really relaxing 10 days in Tavira staying at Constant's place. It's a great location, handy for everything we needed.

    We were met by Constant at the property. Unfortunately the electric went off which we discovered was a power outage throughout Portugal after he left.Constant did not contact to see if we were ok. Constant didn't leave a small welcome pack which is usually provided when we have stayed in other accomodation.The house is quite old and quirky but had all the essentials The beds very comfortable.The house was in a good location close to the main town and Lidl just up the road. Unfortunately the house is next door to a primary school so from 9am -4pm the garden is not peaceful. We had screaming children most of the day so avoided sitting in the garden at this time.There are some lovely restaurants close by.

    It was a wonderful old house in an excellent part of Tavira. We had access to all the good shops and a larger grocery store. There was an excellent bakery coffee shop nearby. Our host was available when we needed him.

    We loved our stay in Tavira. The house was a delight in terms of comfort; proximity to the town and its amenities and within walking distance to Nature. We are going back with very fond memories and hope to return soon. Thanks for being a fantastic host.

    This beautiful house was a great introduction to a 2 week visit to Tavira. The garden provided space for dining and yoga as well as a variety of citrus fruits for cooking. The house was large, comfortable and attractive. Public transit was easily available and good walking to attractio s.

    Our family of four persons enjoyed the stay in this spacious and quite town house with excellent air conditioning, a lovely garden including a grill and many trees very much. We spread out to using three beedrooms as well as the huge living room. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a separate room with a washing machine in the garden. The train station as well as a supermarket are very close and many recommend places like the castle and the museum are in walking distance of 5 - 10 minutes, the ferry to the beach ca. 15 minutes. As for the nearby restaurants and and bakeries, it is hard to decide as so many are outstanding yet affordable, not to forget the surprisingly high quality restaurant actually right to the next door as well as the small take away shop close to the rail way. The short walk down the city center - especially for the concerts starting at 22:00 a clock - can be improved by not using the main road, but also the side roads providing a unique Tavira feeling. We enjoyed our stay very much and recommend it also to families who seek a balance between outgoing and a quite hiding spot. Besides, we appreciated the ability to discover further spots on the Algarve by using the nearby train station, e.g. to visit Fuzeta, Faro or opposite direction Spain. Last not least the appartment offers a good WLAN, a TV, books a vacuum cleaner, the mentioned washing mashine, and - given this hot summer - an appreciated excellent air conditioning.

    We loved Tavira , a great mix of nationalities , ex pats and Portuguese. A relaxed vibe with small shops and plenty of cafes to people watch . Location of apartment was 5 min walk to Lidl and train station . Walk down to ferry to access beach was about 15/20 mins. The enclosed garden is a lovely space and we spent a lot of time there ,listening to the swallows Apartment has everything a family would need and it has a useful utility room . This isn’t a modern ‘done up ‘,shiny ,bland apartment… it looks/feels well lived in, but in a good way

    Lovely spacious apartment in old building. Constantin was a very communicative host and his lovely friend Jane was there to meet us on arrival. The apartment is well equipped with everything you could need for your stay. Highlight for us was the beautiful garden shaded by orange and lemon trees that was ideal for lazy days at home. Approx 7 to 10 min walk to centre of old town .., possibly a bit longer on the way back because it was uphill! Nothing a fit person couldn’t manage tho’.Our fourth trip to Tavira and this must rate as oneof the nicest places we have stayed.
