Casa Funda is a large, elegant villa 4 kms from the enchanting town of Tavira with private pool and terraces sitting on 6000sq metres (roughly 1.4 acres) of grounds with olive, carob, orange and lemon trees, bougainvillea, palms and yuccas. It is tailor-made for larger families: two or three families holidaying together, or one family including Granny, Grampy, aunts and uncles. The property has 5 bedrooms, ALL WITH AIR CONDITIONING, one of which is a very large studio flat complete withsecond kitchen and bathroom and three single beds, attached to the property but with separate entrance. The studio is never let separately. The main house and its 4 bedrooms all have mosquito screens. In the main house there is a large drawing room with flat screen TV and a brand new (as of June 2017) satellite box which gives you all the major UK channels as well as about 200 more! There are screened patio doors to terraces and pool, separate dining room for 12 also with screened patio doors, fully fitted kitchen, master bedroom w/ queen sized bed, screened patio doors + en suite bathroom , family bedroom with double and single bed and en suite bathroom and two twin bedded rooms. There is a third bathroom downstairs. The studio flat, with its own terrace and a very distant view to the sea, has a large bathroom and kitchen.


After buying the house we embarked on a huge landscaping programme and created a second, large, terraced dining area away from the pool and the noise for reading, siestas, etc. We have further landscaped the garden, adding a fountain/pond feature in local stone, with goldfish, and planting more fruit trees, bamboo, bougainvillea etc. There is a once-a-week gardening service and the pool is serviced twice a week in the high season.

We have upgraded the house by installing air conditioning, a huge flat screen television, internet access, new curtains etc. In 2015 I had screens put in for all the windows and doors downstairs. In 2016 the downstairs bathrooms were also screened. In November 2019 we installed a new, electric hot water boiler in the kitchen so no more risk of running out of bottled gas during your stay.

    As a positive aspect, I would highlight the couple who checked us in and the garden, which was well-maintained.Everything else was absolutely terrible (we only slept there one night; we went to a hotel for the other nights). The photos are scarce, and the house is much more cluttered and old than they show. Things are piled up.Only the bedrooms have air conditioning, which isn't clear in the description. We were then overwhelmed with a set of unusual rules and warnings. For example, what to do if the water supply ran out, which suggested it was a common problem in the Algarve. It's not, and despite not sleeping there, on the second day, there was no water (rapidly solved). Additionally, we were warned that we would be charged an extra fee if we used the air conditioning too much.Kitchen: The washing machine is old, with a broken handle, and the bottom tray doesn't fit. The cutlery drawer is difficult to open, and when you finally manage, all the utensils are mismatched. There were dirty plates and cobwebs in the cupboard near the pans.The bedroom closets were full of clutter, making it practically impossible to put away our clothes. The drawers were also full of junk; it seemed like the owners had stuffed everything in there just to get it out of sight.We were also not warned about the presence of resident cats and the constant noise from the neighbors dogs.The rating this house has is impossible, and it was the first and certainly the last one we'll rent via VRBO

    We just returned from a lovely week at Casa Funda and had a wonderful stay. This villa was perfect for our family holiday in the Algarve. The house is very spacious, spotlessly clean, and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The outdoor area is beautiful, the pool is great, and there are plenty of comfortable spots to relax, whether you prefer sun or shade.Communication with the owner was fast and accurate throughout our booking process. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly, making check-in easy and giving us excellent recommendations for local restaurants and beaches. The location is very convenient, just a short drive to Tavira and several stunning beaches, with good shops and restaurants nearby.Quick tip: the best supermarket in the area is Pingo Doce Tavira.A couple of practical notes: you can sometimes hear the highway when outside (it's about 600 meters away), but it never bothered us—the villa still felt peaceful and private. Also, the exact location is a bit different from what is shown on VRBO, but it is still perfectly placed for exploring the region.Casa Funda is ideal for families or groups looking for comfort, privacy, and a true Algarve experience. Highly recommended!

    We recently concluded our 20-day stay at Casa Funda, and I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for the hospitality and support provided by Elsa and her husband, and the owner Mrs Uschi Our time in Tavira was delightful, and despite the heat, we thoroughly enjoyed the town, the nights and the beautiful surroundings with our three small dogs. The visits to Vila Real of Santo Antonio nearby were also mesmerizing! Our experience was overall very positive, and I recommend this lovely home for future travelers with dogs !

    The villa is Fantastic, Traditional, homely and classy. The pool, BBQ area and veranda were ideal and close to great local restaurants and shops plus the beautiful Tavira. Would highly recommend for a Family Holiday, we would definitely come back. special mention for Elsa and Hugo who gave us a lovely warm welcome after a long days travel and some great advice on where to eat and visit.

    We had a wonderful week in Casa Funda. The villa had everything you need and the location was perfect. It felt like home from home, we were very sad to leave but hopefully we will be back next year. Thank you for a lovely week.

    We had an enjoyable 2 weeks staying at Casa Funda. We were 2 families and there was plenty of room. It was lovely having the pool and suited all age groups as there were great steps in the shallow end but also the deep end was deep enough for diving and jumping in. As the weather was so hot we’d often go in to Tavira (short drive from the villa) in the morning when it was cooler and then spend the afternoon in the pool or relaxing on the sun loungers. We also caught the ferry from Tavira to the beach which was great fun, especially the day there were more waves! The villa also has a second Terrace which was lovely as it was often more shady. The outside of the property is very nicely landscaped. As the weather was so hot it was a relief to have air conditioning in the bedrooms. We have definitely come home feeling very relaxed.

    The villa is lovely. We especially enjoyed the pool area, the quiet, and being surrounded by nature. It is close enough to Tavira (a 5 minute drive) so it's also easy to visit the surrounding beaches. We were also happy with the facilities: there is plenty of area, 2 nice barbecues, the kitchen is well equipped, the A/C works well in all rooms, and we could find everything we needed within the house. The kids also loved the entertainment available. The host, Ursula, was kind and helpful, provided all the support, and was very open to feedback.

    We were at Casa Funda with a group of friends. The house is perfect. Comfortable, spacious, well-equipped. There is nothing missing. A beautiful large garden with manicured plants and a wonderful, large swimming pool, which is a relaxation on hot days. We spent a great Portuguese holiday.
