Attention, dear long-term tenants: in the WiIntermonaten we give from booking 4 weeks special discounts! From November to February basic price / basic rent from 580 € per month.
The Townhouse in the historic center of Tavira was renovated and refurnished by us in 2018 - so you are the first ones interested in this charming house with garden. We hope to offer a new, interesting offer in terms of quality, equipment, service and price!
You book well 80 sqm house (6 rooms) with roofterrace and a beautiful garden (plus 80sqm). Total one lives thus on approximately 180 square meters. The house has: 3 bedrooms with good beds and mattresses, 1 new kitchen (2017) with electric stove and a reasonable basic equipment - which was built into the historic kitchen with old azulejos / tiles. Two simple bathrooms with shower and new elements (2017). 1 living room with modern sofa (2018), TV and Wi-Fi. As well as a dining and reading room with comfortable reading chair (new 2018), which adjoins the kitchen.

The house: The Tavira Townhouse are actually two small townhouses, which are connected with each other and which you can use on your own. Viewed from the street, there is a house in front and a house behind the old city wall, which is followed by an imposing medieval tower. The hallway leads THROUGH the old city wall, past the Buddha-bedroom, in the bungalow and then on to the garden and the roof terrace. All around you also look at the battlements of the old wall, on ancient stairs that lead into the defense tower. One feels transported to a bygone time. Look forward to this very special atmosphere. Townhouse Tavira is located in the historic old town and has a quiet, green garden with sun and shade spots. On the roof terrace you have again a fantastic view over the old town, on the city wall, the Castelo, the Pousada. It is also just a few meters to the Castelo de Tavira or Jardim Publico. The Strandfähre and Cafes / Retaurantes are within easy walking distance.
1 bedroom in back house with 1,40x2m bed (new 2017) and chest of drawers for your clothes, 1 large bedroom (Buddha) with 1,60x2m bed and comfortable mattress (new 2017) also for spoiled sleeper and guests with back problems and a large closet. This bedroom has no windows and offers great tranquility & sleeping comfort. 1 bedroom with 1.40x2m bed and comfortable mattress (new 2017) also for pampered sleepers and guests with back problems and closet (new 2018), 1 office room with work space and wifi, 1 cozy TV room in the front building with WLan, bookcase and a cozy sofa for watching TV and chilling out.

Garden and terrace are equipped with new garden furniture (2017): 1 seat lounge (4 pers), 3 loungers, 3 outdoor tables in different places (sun & shade), 2 relax chairs, 4-6 simple garden chairs. There are enough sun and shade spots in the garden and on the terrace. An outdoor shower refreshes you in the summer after your beach stay. The garden is typically Portuguese and is not irrigated for ecological reasons. In this respect, the garden is green in winter and dry in summer except for the fruit trees and bushes. The fruit trees (orange, lemon and mandarin) can be harvested by you. A large rosemary bush in the garden corner invites you for a delicious barbecue and cooking.
In the middle of the house is on the left side a passage door to our main water tap. This area is only for access to the main water tap and is NOT part of the house and is expressly not rented. We ask for consideration for our neighbor, who lives in this area.

Beach and swimming in Tavira:
In the months of May - October a ferry goes directly from Tavira-Old Town (port on the Rio Gilao) to the beach (13min.). A beautiful drive, right through the salt pans (sea salt production), past old shipyards, past the Praia dos Tesos (first bathing beach / city beach), past the ferry dock and harbor Quatro Aguas (where more ferries go all year) on the Ilha de Tavira with its beautiful beaches. There is a wide selection of different restaurants and cafes here. On the beach there are guarded beach sections, which also offer rental of umbrellas & beach chairs and water sports. If you want a bit more peace, along the beach until he has found a lonely place for himself in the dunes. Depending on the wind and weather you can choose between the Atlantic beach or the inner beach (in the lagoon) with very shallow and warm water. If you want to take a long walk on the beach, you have the possibility to walk for several kilometers along the beach. It is best to take an extra bag for all the beautiful shells and snails that you will find on the beach.
Water taxis bring you from the city to various interesting beaches that are marked and described on site.
Tavira is a contemplative place with (very) a lot of Mediterranean flair. Besides the beach you can discover a beautiful area with a lot of nature. Hiking and cycling are on offer. There is always something going on in Tavira: The range of cultural events is enormous. Markets, exhibitions, fairs have no cheap tourist charm, but present themselves very culturally and proudly.
TIP: you also like watching videos on the internet (eg by Maximilian Xavier) about Tavira beach / surrounding area, which describe the area excellently.

After booking you will also receive a tour plan that describes beaches and destinations in and around Tavira. In it, the city beach Praia dos Tesos is mentioned in more detail.

It is a private house. We ask for respectful contact with the neighbors. Please no wild parties. Non-smoking house, please smoke in the garden or on the terrace.

WINTER bookings / 1. December to 28. February:
IMPORTANT: Our prices are in winter (1. December 28th February) ALWAYS exclusive electricity costs / electric heating. The rental prices are adjusted accordingly low in winter. There are enough heating options available. We have opted for a separate billing in the heating costs in order to avoid excessive flat-rate calculations and to offer the cheapest possible stay. We will always inform you separately about the reservation if the booking falls into winter time.


Your holiday, our concept: We offer you a large house in a good location, with affordable living concept. For a fair price. For reasons of conviction and ecological reasons we refrain z. For example, on an air conditioner in our homes - after all, you drive for sun and heat in the south. But we offer cooling fans in every room. The rooms are also spacious and comfortably furnished - but not technically upgraded, because that would drive the rental price. So expect a cozy, clean house, in a good residential area, with plenty of space.
Welcome and enjoy beautiful days in the Algarve.

    If 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

    This 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.

    The 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.

    Very 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.

    Starting 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.

    This 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.

    This 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.
