Stayed May 18, 2025If someone asked me to describe Old Town Tavira I would let this house do the talking for me. A beautiful, clean quirky dwelling built through old castle walls. The house itself is traditional and unspoilt , it has everything you need and incredibly comfortable beds. The Garden!!!! Wow. Shelter from the sun under ripe lemon trees or take to the roof terrace for some sun and views of churches, castles and a convent now a hotel. You can reach the river on foot in under 10 mins at a gentle pace and Lidl in same time in opposite direction. Quiet, relaxed, tranquil and unpretentious, I honestly felt like a local while I was there. Our host Maya was incredible from the moment we arrived until the second we left, thank you Maya

Stayed Jan 23, 2025This rental was disasterous.The property was damp, cold, and draughty.Only two of the three bedrooms meet Portuguese 'Alojamento Local' regulations, the central, 'Budda' bedroom having no window. A request for the registration number went unanswered.The rear bedroom, we were told, had a leak which had been fixed prior to our arrival. By day 11 it was producing 1.2 lt of water per 24 hours in the small dehumidifer provided. A black mould had started to grow on the ceiling and over the window and a white fungus was growing on the inside of the external bedroom wall.The owner cleaned these off. We advised we couldnt continue living in the property and would leave after two week. We requested a refund for the time unspent which was not forthcoming. An alternative property many miles from Tavira was eventually offered but was not what we wished. Be warned - this property does not have an oven, or microwave in the cooking department. There are not heaters in all rooms. The electrics are bazaar - every socket has extension cables with additional sockets. The only working bathroom is an external annexe. This has a small fan heater plugged into a socket in the bathroom. ( this is illegal in my country)I could find no smoke or CO detector in the property.From approximately 21st November to the 20 January the rear 'patio' receives no direct sunshine. I believe the property had not been lived in for the previous two months prior to our visit.

Stayed Sep 10, 2024The communication with Maya was great and she was very prompt when we reported a faulty kettle. The location is great and the French bakery almost next door is fantastic. The accommodation is fine but we personally would have preferred a bit more finesse. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen equipment was enough. I would have liked to have had proper cushions for the sunbeds on the roof terrace and maybe for the chairs in the garden but the outside space was great. An iron would have been a bonus but in fairness it wasn't included in the equipment list on the booking website so I couldn't expect it. I found the lack of ventilation in the main bedroom an issue despite the fan that gave a gentle breeze. That however is probably a personal thing as my husband had less of a problem with it.

Stayed Sep 14, 2023Very relaxing stay at this very eclectic house. All was as described in the house description. Communication with Maya was excellent. The garden area and particularly the upper terrace were great. Loved it. Can recommend wholeheartedly.

Stayed Dec 1, 2022Starting with the initial contact, then the booking, the lead up to check in and during the whole stay, the communication with the hosts was first class. The description of the property is very accurate, we were provided in advance with lots of information, ideal especially for those who are new to Tavira. The location is handy for exploring in all directions, close to a wonderful bakery (get there early!) and 10 minutes walk to Lidl. A stroll to Tavira, 5 minutes to restaurants, bars and cafes. The house (actually, 2 joined length-wise) is very spacious and has 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 relaxation areas. Well-equipped kitchen, good wifi, lots of books, games, CDs, musc player, TV. We did not get to use the garden, due to the weather, but rest assured that it will be wonderful in the sunshne months. Overall, 5 stars. Thank-you Maya and Mike.

Stayed Oct 25, 2022This house is a gem. Perfectly located to walk anywhere in Tavira. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings on the rooftop terrace. The nights are quiet, had lovely breakfasts in the garden. Hope to be back next year. Thanks MAYA.

Stayed Sep 18, 2022This property is eccentric, but utterly delightful, build through the old city wall with a wonderfully secluded garden and terrace at the back. It is a haven of peace but right in the heart of the town. It has all the basics that you need and is very well placed. The train and bus stations are in easy walking distance, so are many very good restaurants and the excellent French bakery. There are small corner shops nearby and Lidl is a ten minute walk away. The Castle and some of the best churches are in the neighbourhood. It is very good value.
