The house: The Tavira Townhouse are actually two small townhouses, which are connected with each other and which you can use on your own. Viewed from the street, there is a house in front and a house behind the old city wall, which is followed by an imposing medieval tower. The hallway leads THROUGH the old city wall, past the Buddha-bedroom, in the "bungalow" and then on to the garden and the roof terrace. All around you also look at the battlements of the old wall, on ancient stairs that lead into the defense tower. One feels transported to a bygone time. Look forward to this very special atmosphere. Townhouse Tavira is located in the historic old town and has a quiet, green garden with sun and shade spots.

Beach and swimming in Tavira:
In the months of May - October a ferry goes directly from Tavira-Old Town (port on the Rio Gilao) to the beach (13min.). A beautiful drive, right through the salt pans (sea salt production), past old shipyards, past the Praia dos Tesos (first bathing beach / city beach), past the ferry dock and harbor Quatro Aguas (where more ferries go all year) on the Ilha de Tavira with its beautiful beaches. There is a wide selection of different restaurants and cafes here. On the beach there are guarded beach sections, which also offer rental of umbrellas & beach chairs and water sports. If you want a bit more peace, along the beach until he has found a lonely place for himself in the dunes. Depending on the wind and weather you can choose between the Atlantic beach or the inner beach (in the lagoon) with very shallow and warm water. If you want to take a long walk on the beach, you have the possibility to walk for several kilometers along the beach. It is best to take an extra bag for all the beautiful shells and snails that you will find on the beach.
Water taxis bring you from the city to various interesting beaches that are marked and described on site.
Tavira is a contemplative place with (very) a lot of Mediterranean flair. Besides the beach you can discover a beautiful area with a lot of nature. Hiking and cycling are on offer. There is always something going on in Tavira: The range of cultural events is enormous. Markets, exhibitions, fairs have no cheap tourist charm, but present themselves very culturally and proudly.
TIP: you also like watching videos on the internet (eg by Maximilian Xavier) about Tavira beach / surrounding area, which describe the area excellently.
After booking you will also receive a tour plan that describes beaches and destinations in and around Tavira. In it, the city beach Praia dos Tesos is mentioned in more detail.
It is a private house. We ask for respectful contact with the neighbors. Please no wild parties. Non-smoking house, please smoke in the garden or on the terrace.
WINTER bookings / 1. December to 28. February:
IMPORTANT: Our prices are in winter (1. December 28th February) ALWAYS exclusive electricity costs / electric heating. The rental prices are adjusted accordingly low in winter. There are enough heating options available. We have opted for a separate billing in the heating costs in order to avoid excessive flat-rate calculations and to offer the cheapest possible stay. We will always inform you separately about the reservation if the booking falls into winter time.
Your holiday, our concept: We offer you a large house in a good location, with affordable living concept. For a fair price. For reasons of conviction and ecological reasons we refrain z. For example, on an air conditioner in our homes - after all, you drive for sun and heat in the south. But we offer cooling fans in every room. The rooms are also spacious and comfortably furnished - but not "technically upgraded", because that would drive the rental price. So expect a cozy, clean house, in a good residential area, with plenty of space.
Welcome and enjoy beautiful days in the Algarve.
