Elegant Villa With Private Pool For 2-10 People Tavira

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 with second 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.

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.

Casa Funda - August 2023
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.

Super séjour !!
Nous étions 10 et sommes restés 15 jours à la Casa Funda. Tout d’abord je tiens à remercier chaleureusement Ursula pour sa disponibilité et sa bienveillance à tous les égards. Rarement vu une propriétaire aussi attentionnée avec ses locataires. La maison est très bien équipée. La cuisine regorge de pleins d'ustensiles, plats divers, et électroménagers. Il y a un. super piano de cuisine, très appréciable quand on est nombreux. Les chambres sont climatisées, il y a 4 salles de bain intégrant chacune des wc. La piscine est grande. La maison dispose de 2 terrasses ensoleillées, nous n’en avons utilisé qu’une seule, celle donnant sur la piscine car plus conviviale avec la vue sur la piscine et donc sur les enfants ! La maison est située à environ 6 min de Tavira, ce qui est top ! Il vous faut par contre une voiture pour vous déplacer car il n’y a rien à pieds. A noter tout de même la proximité de l’A22 que l’on entend tout de même, mais Cela passe vite au second plan avec la musique et l’amusement qui régnait dans la maison. Je recommande vivement cette maison spacieuse où chacun trouve sa place et peut vaquer librement à ses occupations sans gêner ses co-locataires.

Wonderfully equipped, comfortable house. Very good base for visiting the Portuguese coast.
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.

Beautiful clean and spacious accomodation in a peaceful environment with a great pool.
Casa Funda was all and more than the reviews stated. The accommodation was fantastic, plenty of room for two extended families catering for 6 adults 3 young adults and 4 teenagers. They was plenty of games and books on hand to keep everyone entertained. The pool was big and deep enough to allow for a family game of water polo/basketball. It was a peaceful environment but close enough to the town of Tavira, although you do need a car. Taxi from Tavira was only €8. Pego Do Inferno was only 5-10 mins away and was a big hit with all ages. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Algarve is always Algarve. Relax, Sun and lovely dinners!
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 !

Sehr schön.....
Wir waren eine Woche mit der Familie in der Casa Funda und wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit. Es war alles wunderbar organisiert und das Haus ist perfekt für größere Familien oder Freunde. Elsa und Hugo haben uns wunderbar empfangen, obwohl wir sehr spät angekommen sind. Vielen Dank dafür. Tavira und der wunderschöne Strand ist ein Traum und in kürzester Zeit mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Auch die Supermärkte sind nur wenige Autominuten entfernt. Es war ein gelungener Urlaub

Authentic Algarve experience
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.

Een goed ruim en functioneel huis op een rustige locatie als een goed uitvalspunt
De woning is zeer ruim. Het is van alle voorzieningen voorzien en zeer functioneel. Het huis op zelf is wat gedateerd. Een mooi groot zwembad erbij met veel ruimte eromheen. De locatie is aan een stille weg op een comfortabele 5 km van Tavira vandaan. Ondanks dat de snelweg niet ver vandaan is heb je daar geen enkele last van. Het is een prima uitvalbasis om ook dagtripjes te maken zoals naar Sevilla in Spanje of de Algarve zelf verder ontdekken. De stranden zijn op 15 minuten afstand, echter de beroemde baaitjes, waar de Algarve om bekend is, is minimaal op 45 minuten afstand. Verder is Tavira een leuk stadje waar je 's avonds een zeer ruime keuze hebt uit restaurants met een gezellige sfeer. Wij hebben er met ons gezin 18 dagen door gebracht en wij hebben een uitstekende vakantie gehad.

Passámos uns dias maravilhosos nesta casa. Espaço muito agradável para descanso e total isolamento, numa zona calma de Tavira. A área exterior é muito grande e a piscina é muito boa, foi onde passámos grande parte do tempo. A casa é ampla, acolhedora e tem tudo o que precisamos, ideal para grupos grandes. Só é pena a TV não ter canais portugueses.

O local ideal para umas excelentes férias em família
Escolhemos a Casa Funda para as férias de Verão em família e passámos uns dias memoráveis. A casa tem todas as comodidades e espaço suficiente para uma família alargada que quer passar uns dias em conjunto mas com a devida privacidade. O quarto dos avós localizava-se numa das alas da casa, com a respectiva casa-de-banho, enquanto pais e filha ficaram na ala oposta, também com uma suite e um quarto com duas camas de solteiro logo em frente. Há mais um quarto que não chegámos a usar e um apartamento anexo totalmente mobilado, com três camas de solteiro. Além de uma terceira casa-de-banho na casa principal, que usávamos como apoio à piscina. A piscina é óptima e foi onde passámos a maior parte do tempo. A casa tem duas zonas de barbecue e mesas, cadeiras e espreguiçadeiras suficientes para família e amigos. A nossa cadela também nos acompanhou e encontra-se, de momento, a sofrer de depressão pós-férias sem querer aceitar que está de volta a um apartamento na cidade. Foram, sem dúvida, umas férias excelentes numa propriedade 5 estrelas!
