Modern 2-bedroom luxury apartment with patio and large communal swimming pool

Modern 2-bedroom luxury apartment with patio, large communal swimming pool and landscaped gardens in Tavira.

Location: Terracos de Tavira, overlooking the old center of Tavira.
Construction: approx 85.m2 and approx. 12m2 patio. Built 2008.


Description: Situated on a hilltop by the River Gilão in Tavira and part of an ultra modern development, this apartment offers the perfect holiday retreat. The community of exclusive apartments and townhouses surround the manicured gardens and pool areas, including a children's pool and play area, decking lawned areas with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. Watch the sun set over Tavira and at nightfall the gardens and pool glow in the soft illumination of the garden lights. For evenings out simple take the steps down the side of the hill to the river where traditional restaurants and bars decorate the banks and families take a stroll after dinner. The beach of Tavira is on the Island and boats to take you across the lagoon to the 'Isla' cruise the River Gilão through out the year. Tavira Island is totally unspoilt, has excellent restaurants and long stretches of sandy beaches. For the more adventures you can hire a bike in Tavira and a short cycle along the river takes you to "Pego do Inferno" (Hell Hole! So named, as allegedly there is no bottom to the plunge pool) and despite its name, is a gorgeous waterfall and lagoon where you can swim.

Impeccably furnished and well equipped there is a private entrance via the front garden with video entry system. Entrance hall with storage for outdoor furniture. Kitchen is fully fitted with integral appliances, large fridge freezer, washing machine and dryer, microwave, and grill, convection oven, hob and dishwasher. Glass sliding door to living room/dining room. with leather sofas and flat screen TV. Sliding glass doors to garden area. Dining area with four chairs. Internal courtyard with table and chairs, a gas fired BBQ and doors to kitchen and sitting room.

Twin bedroom with built in wardrobe. Doors to balcony with table and chairs. Main bathroom with Jacuzzi bath/shower. Master bedroom with en-suite shower bathroom, double bed, built in wardrobes and balcony. The apartment has marble tiled floors, security shutters and air-conditioning.

Tavira offers old world charm and the local council has taken full advantage of the rich history of this ancient city with a strong emphasis on art, preservation and culture. During the summer there is a diary of free events in and around the city from book fairs and antique markets to music and films shown in the open air. In the winter there is classical music in the
churches where the doors are open for visitors and residents alike. Christmas sees the city festooned in twinkling lights and New Year is enjoyed with a firework display over the river. Tavira has a temperate climate so sitting with a "galão" (milky coffee) in the sunshine can be enjoyed any time of the year.

For golf lovers there is a plethora of golf courses to choose from, e.g. Benamor, Quinta da Ria, Quinta de Cima and Castro Marim or the new Monte Rei Course is a first class addition for the Eastern Algarve.

Tavira apartment rental October
Well located. Safe neighborhood. Good size apartment. Nice grounds. All basic needs provided. The apartment could use a little refurbishing, issue with the electric window shutter , bathroom toilets need updating…but mostly suited our needs. Didn’t use the pool, but looked impeccably clean. Very quiet this time of year.

Nice, but not luxury.
Well appointed apartment but it needed some maintenance. The furniture was tired and worn. The grounds/pool were lovely. The walkways need work. Many loose tiles and trip hazards. Not a location for people with mobility issues. A ten minute walk to town center with alot of stairs. No convenient stores nearby.

Great place for a getaway
This is our third time in this apartment complex and this unit was the nicest we've stayed in. It was clean, the furniture was modern and in good shape, the beds were comfortable. Internet reception was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped except it could use a larger frying pan. The one they currently have is tiny. There were some burned out light bulbs in the bathrooms and the entryway and the freezer door wouldn't close properly. We notified the property managers and I'm sure they'll take care of it before the next guests arrive. We'd definitely stay here again.

Great Location & Walking Distance to Town
The apartment was just as described & check in was easy. We were met by the rep who let us in & gave us the keys. The apartment was filled with light & was sociable. We thought the outside arears (patio at the front, courtyard in the middle & narrow balcony at the back) were small but perhaps that is because we had come from somewhere else with more outside space. There was a beach umbrella & cool box etc which were available for our use. This was great on the day that we took the ferry to the island. We all liked the town of Tavira & really liked the proximity of the apartment to the town. There are 120 steps down & within about 20 minutes you can be in the town with its shops & restaurants. This made a nice change when compared to the location of the property on the 1st part of our holiday. We had a good time - thank you

We could not have been happier with our accommodations here. The unit was comfortable and met our space needs. We enjoyed the interior, open-air space and the exterior patio. The green space and pool added to our enjoyment. We are fortunate to be fit enough in our late-60s to negotiate the stairs that must be traversed to walk to town, but others might find it a challenge. The hosts went out of their way to help us settle in with ease.

Fabulous Two Weeks!
We enjoyed our stay in this ideal area of Tavira. We walked to town almost every day. All that you need is in walking distance, to us anyway, because we love to walk. The accommodation was clean and as it appeared in the website. We did have to buy toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towels and soap for the clothes which we usually had in other VRBO accommodations. We would recommend this condo. It was quiet and we also enjoyed sitting outside to have tapas and wine in the evening. 😎Enjoy!

You will not be disappointed
The stay in this beautiful apartment was wonderful. Travelling with my tenge sons, it was situated 10 minutes walk from the centre of Tavira on the top of a small hill. The walk into town was fine and it was very nice to be at this vantage point. The property was fabulous and felt very luxurious. It was spacious and light and had everything we needed for a week. The grounds and pool were well maintained and calm and quiet at Easter. Tavira and surrounding areas were lovely - I had wanted to visit for the last couple of years and it did not disappoint. For a lovely Portuguese town with access to beautiful beaches and countryside, I would totally recommend this area and property.

Lovely apartment - great location
Myself, partner and daughter just returned from an 11 night stay at this apartment in Tavira and loved the place. It's situated just north of the railway bridge in Tavira up a hill to the left. The apartment is clean, very spacious and in a great location. It is also well equipped with everything that you would require in terms of kitchen equipment. Main bedroom is en-suite which isn't apparent from the photos, and the main bathroom is large and spacious. The complex itself, is very quiet and relaxing with the pool area a great place to chill out. It's only a short walk into town down, down a set of steps which runs between the villas that surround the complex ( just a slight warning - if you're elderly, or not fully mobile, it's a steep climb back up !!! ) Check in procedure was straightforward and easy - we were met on site by the rep who showed us round and explained everything to us - there is also a comprehensive information file left to peruse. The patio area is a little on the small side if you're eating and drinking, but this really is a minor quibble, when compared to the rest of the apartment, which, as I say, is excellent. Tavira itself, is a lovely, traditional fishing village, with a great choice of bars and restaurants. Particular favourites of ours were Artefact, D'Gusto, and Tavira Lounge. If you fancy, some Pizza or Pasta, the n Pizzaria di Romma is great ( and ridiculously cheap !! ) All in all, a great place for a holiday, and i would have no hesitation in recommending. Thanks, Kelvin Maxwell.
