Spacious apartment in historical centre of Tavira with views of river & WiFi

Beautiful one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a newly restored manor house in a prime riverside location in the historical center of Tavira. The apartment has fantastic views of the fishing boats on the river and of the old town. Free WiFi.

During the summer months, the ferryboat to the beach at Ilha de Tavira leaves from the quayside in Tavira town, around 100m from the apartment. At other times of the year, the boat leaves from Quatro Aguas which is around 1km further along the river. There are several other blue flag beaches and golf courses within a few minutes drive.

The apartment is extremely conveniently located for both the beach and the town. The riverfront restaurants are close at hand and the Old Market and Roman Bridge are only a couple of minutes walk away. You can spend hours strolling the charming cobblestone streets of this lovely old town with its many restaurants, shops, bars and terraces to enjoy a refreshment in the sun.

This beautiful manor house dates from the early 19th century and has been tastefully renovated to high specifications, using natural materials and retaining historical features - such as the traditional Tavira roofs and windows with interior wooden shutters, as well as thick walls which keep the property warm in winter and cool in summer.

The apartment is the perfect place to sit and watch the activity on the quayside and is furnished to a high standard with a combination of antique and contemporary furniture. It is an excellent base for either a summer or winter break.

Small updates would make a big difference.
The location of this apartment is absolutely perfect for a stay in Tavira. The three doors that open onto the square below are fantastic and allow for fresh air and great views of the square and the promenade beside the river. Unfortunately, the furniture in the flat could stand to be updated. The bed in particular we found impossible to use for two adults. Really a fantastic space, that could use just a few updates to be truly outstanding.

Tavira old town
Well maintained spacious flat in a traditional building with a great view over the river. Easy walking distance to market, restaurants, ferry quay and plenty of free parking nearby. The only negative was the very loud music from the bar which at the weekend started at 10pm and went on until 1am.

Lovely apartment, great location
We had a great stay in Tavira. The apartment was a short walk to everything in the old town - restaurants, shops and the ferry to the island. Couldn't have asked for a better location. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. The only negative was the loud music from the cocktail bar across the street that continued until well after midnight. Fortunately it was just on Saturday night and didn't affect the other three nights of our stay.

Apartment in old city area
A good apartment, well equipped and in a great location for the river ferry and a short walk to old city area and new food market. Only problem was loud thumping music until 2 am one night. Spoke to the bar staff the next day and they apologised and it didn't happen again, just quiet music after midnight.

Great location, well equipped.
Excellent location, on the edge of the old town and close to the ferry for trips to the stunning beach. Lots of good restaurants close by and the supermarket is only a ten minute walk away. The apartment is very well equipped and the air conditioning is a real bonus in the hot summer months.

Great location with view over the river & near the ferry.
Lovely spacious apartment. Well equipped, even had beach towels and beach umbrella which was very handy. It has lovely views over the river and is right next to where the ferry departs to the beaches. Also there are nice restaurants nearby and it is only a short walk to the main shopping street and also the new municipal market for fresh fish and vegetables. Though there are two restaurants just opposite we found the flat very quiet when we closed the french windows. The roof terrace is completely private and not overlooked and is equipped with chairs, beds and a barbeque. Tavira is a lovely town and not over developed. We would love to return one day.

Spacious and modernized, more like home than a vacation rental
Clean, updated, well-equipped - and sealed against outside noise - apartment in a location (between restaurants and feet from the beach ferry) that couldn't be beat. The local agents are quite responsive, when needed.

It could be better
I made the reservation in the App, the host (someone named Mary) who does the management never answered me to a message. The ladies who received us at check in were very friendly. The accommodation is very well located, but.. the accommodation could be much better due to its demand and location, the furniture is very old, the refrigerator is very small, the kitchen should be renovated, and everything in that accommodation should be renovated, it is very worn out very old. Everything smells like mold. 5-star location but 2-star accommodation because it is very worn out and has marks of it.

Strandurlaub
Hallo, wir haben die Wohnung für 1 Woche Strandurlaub gebucht. Die Lage ist sehr gut, Stadtnah und nur ein Sprung zum Hafen, um zum Strand zu gelangen. Die Wohnung ist mit allen nötigen Dingen ausgestattet. Der Check in und out war sehr flexibel und daher super. Der Eingang wird leider oft zugeparkt. Wer Wert auf TV legt, wird leider enttäuscht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Appartement très agréable, avec toutes les commodités. De Tavira nous avons visité les différentes environnantes et avons même fait une escapade jusqu'à Séville. L'appartement est bien située avec un petit parking gratuit à 200m, ce qui n'est pas négligeable. Nous vous le recommandons donc vivement.

Perfect for beach and lovely town
It was really nice to stay in this well equiped appartment . A short distance to the ferry boat and a lot of good restaurants. The only thing the guests need to know, there is a bar and its a little bit noisy in the night. For us no problem, we close the window.

Comfortable apartment, very central location
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment, located on a perfect spot in the wonderful town of Tavira. Everything is on a walking distance, restaurants, the supermarket, the communal market (a must on Saturdays), as well as the little ferry that takes you to the beaches on the island. It is situated just on the edge of the touristic area, so it has all the benefits, and not too much confusion. There is also a huge, and free, parking area on three minutes walking distance, just behind the bridge. The apartment is just perfect for two, and may be three occupants. Everything was on its place, we did not lack anything. The sun terrace on the roof is also a great plus. We definitely recommend this place and are looking forward to our next visit.

Schöne, zweckmäßige Ferienwohnung in sehr guter Lage
Die Ferienwohnung ist funkional und sehr gut eingerichtet, alles was man für einen entspannten Urlaub ist vorhanden. Wir haben öfter selber gekocht, was in der gut eingerichteten Küche sehr viel Spaß gemacht hat. Die Lage am Rio Gilao ist sehr schön. Die Altstadt von Tavira, Bahnhof und Busbahnhof sind innerhalb von 10 -15 Mintuen zu Fuß gut zu erreichen. Die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter von Home Away, die sich um die Verwaltung vor Ort kümmern, sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
