Let me congratulate you for the nice apartment you have in Tavira. The decoration is very modern but appropriate for a beach house and it is very comfortable with everything that is needed.We really enjoyed these last 2 weeks.
I suggest you to improve the photos you posted in your web site. The apartment is even nicer and bigger than it looks in those pictures.
The pool was very quiet for most of the time. We were also very lucky with the weather and with the sea temperature: around 23-24C during 2 weeks!
We hope we will be able to repeat the experience in 2010!
We are a family of five, two adults and three children aged between 10 and 16 and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in this beautiful apartment. We travelled from Ireland to Seville, hired a car in Seville and drove to Tavira, a journey which took us approx 1 hour 40 mins. We had no difficulty finding the apartment as the directions we had been given were perfect.
The apartment is very conveniently located, within walking distance of the Roman Bridge and the centre of Tavira. It is spotlessly clean, and is furnished and maintained to a very high standard. The kitchen has absolutely everything your need and more. Bedrooms have plenty of storage space and the Sitting room is tastefully furnished with satellite tv (bring your own sky card), DVD player and DVDs, board games books etc.
The owners have a folder in the apartment with information on just about anything you need to know, - from recommended restaurants, to location of doctors surgery, to where to find instructions on operating the washing machine, dishwasher etc. We referred to this folder on a daily basis and found it excellent.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in this fab apartment and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing holiday.
We would recommend having a car. It is approx 5 minute drive to the nearest supermarket.
There are some steps from the road up to the apartment and this may be something to be aware of if you have a baby/toddler or for someone with a disability.
Our favourite restaurant was Canto Azul in Santa Luzia, about a five minute drive from Tavira. The irish restaurant along the River Gilao was also very nice.
We had a fabulous time at this brand new modern apratment in a quiet development on the edge of town. The apartment is perfect for two couples or a small family and has all mod cons including BBQ, microwave, iron, satellite tv, dvd etc. The air con works quickly and the shuttered windows are great for getting that all important holiday sleep. The pool is very large and there are also two heated jacuzzi baths beside the pool.
Tavira is a lovely quaint local fishing village. Highly recommended as a spot to explore the eastern algarve and neighboring Spain. There are many options for day trips in the area and also lots of good quality golf courses. A car would be helpful for exploring the area although not needed if only staying in Tavira as the apartment is only 30 mins from Faro airport and 15 mins walk from the town centre of Tavira.
The aparment would not be ideal for older people or those with disabilites as there are many steps to climb up and down before reaching Tavira town from the apartment.
"The apartment was the highest standard we have ever encountered when renting an apartment and had everything you could possiblly need. The apartment was immaculate and even contained a jacuzzi bath !
The kids unwinded watching the satellite channels after a long day at the beach or pool before heading into town for a fantastic fish dinner in one of the many excellent restaurants. We decided not to hire a car this time and the tranfer from Faro was less than 30 minutes using a taxi compant that met us at arrivals.
The location was perfect (a 5 minute safe walk to town). The daily boat trip to the beach was an adventure for the adults and children alike. Tavira is an unspoilt region of the Algarve and I hope it retains it's authenticity for a long time. I look forward to going back to this apartment next year"

"Me and my wife really enjoyed our week's stay in this top class, brand new apartment. It contains everything you need; from a barbecue set to chess; all in excellent condition, nice and very clean. The owners have a great taste for style, so the atmosphere inside is great. But when you overcome the temptation to stay in for the whole day, the town, beach, and the people around will make these holidays special."Jan, Slovakia
"If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful holiday, Tavira is a no brainer, with its lovely beach, and picturesque countryside. We hired bikes and cycled all around. The paths are well built and the nature is magnificent! The apartment we stayed in made us feel like millionaires! high end furniture, modern kitchen with all you need; and the swimming pool in front was very handy. Definitely recommended." Simona, Dublin
"We have had a very enjoyable stay in this brandnew apartment in a nice & quiet complex with good facilities. Groundfloor with large garden in front of the apartment so in particular suitable for families with young children. Nice features are the inside patio and large, well equipped kitchen. Car recommended to get around town and beach areas."
