Tavira Island beach can be reached by ferry boat from just across the river, a 4 minute walk away. You will discover wonderful golden, sandy beaches, beach bars and restaurants on an island 10 miles by 1. The town ferry runs regularly from the end of may to the end of September. There is an alternate ferry service from 2km down river which runs all year.

There are excellent golf courses within 5 to 10 minutes drive from the accommodation. The closest are Benamor, Quinta da Ria and Quinta da Cima, Monte Rei.
A car is not at all essential. Tavira offers plenty of local entertainment and places of interest.

Car rental, taxi transfers and bicycle hire can be organized with local reputable firms in advance or by calling the local representative. The accommodation is suitable for children, taking in account that there are two flights of stairs.

Casa Joaquim is easily accessible by bus, train and by car. The entrance has a traditional ‘porta da reixa’ gridded door leading from the street.

This is a mostly residential area though there are some cafés and late-licenced bars on the street to the back of the house.

Perfect location
Jonny and Angie were great hosts from the booking process and supply of information to meeting us at the property and attending to our needs swiftly and efficiently. The property is very well equipped and the location is perfect for local eateries, supermarket and the 4 minutes walk to the ferry for trips to the beach. We were beyond happy during our week in Tavira and will definitely go back.

Great Location and beautiful house
The house is located near all of the important things that you need, restaurants, supermarkets, a ferry to an island where you can go swimming and much more. Everything is accessable by foot. Once we arrived we were greeted by an super friendly host who gave us a lot of helpful tips. Adding to this experience, the whole house was super clean and filled with everything we needed. Overall an amazing stay, would definitely recommend!

Great apartment in a great town
We had a great 3 week stay here and loved the town of Tavira. The apartment was perfect for our stay and was well equipped for the breakfasts and occasional meals we had in vs dining out. Angie was very responsive when we contacted her. 2 minor issues beyond their control: The free parking beside Pingo Doce was a bit of a challenge at times with us getting the last spot on more than 1 occasion. Too bad there are so many unused cars taking up spots there while waiting for service in nearby shops. New piping was being installed all around our part of town and not sure if it was from that work, but sometimes there was a funky smell seemingly coming from the drains. Otherwise, great spot in a great location.

A beautiful house with full of charm
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at this property the house was beautifully restored and had everything you could want. The area of the house is spot on plenty of beautiful restaurants close by. We especially recommend La Petite France just a street behind the house. A stroll across the bridge and down the side of the estuary brings you to the ferry port which takes you to the stunning Ilse of Tavira. Our overall experience of the house was fantastic and Tavira itself a was a true gem. We will definitely be returning to this amazing house. Michelle and Lyn Pewtner ( South Wales)

Lovely home in the heart of Tavira
A Lovely and comfortable property in the heart of Tavira. A 5 minute walk from all the shops, restaurants and ferry stop to get to the beach. The property had everything we needed for our stay and there was prompt communication with the owners when we needed it. Our family particularly enjoyed relaxing and eating on the terrace every night. Would highly recommend! The property is on two levels and the steps to enter the house are steep so it is not suitable for anyone with reduced mobility. The stovetop espresso pots were unusable but there were two other options of coffee makers that we used during our stay.

Enjoyable stay in Tavira
Beautiful house in the prettiest town. We were so lucky as there was a music festival on and we got to see different bands every night in the town. I loved the cobbled streets and sitting down with a cold beer and people watching. The ferry to the beach is 5 minutes away from the house and for €2 you get a return ticket. Beaches are beautiful, powder sands and plenty of bars and restaurants. We had some of the best food in the smaller restaurants. Local places are just the best. The house was ideal for us, 5 adults. We spent most of our time there sitting on the balcony just off the kitchen. Such a nice area to sit and eat drink and chat. We loved it in Tavira that we will definitely be back.

Wonderful location and home
We couldn’t have chosen a better location for our stay in Tavira. Any of the services we needed such as groceries, pharmacy,restaurants, bike rental, were no more than a ten minute walk, and I’m a slow walker! The Roman Bridge and walk along the river was not even five minutes. The house was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. The three bedrooms were large and beautifully furnished with antiques and had large bright windows. The two bathrooms were roomy and convenient. We didn’t get to use the outside patio off of the kitchen as much as we would have liked to because the weather was not conducive, but we enjoyed it on the nice days. We also appreciated the convenience of being able to store our bikes inside the enclosed space just inside the front door. We hope to get back to Tavira and will certainly stay at Casa Joaquin again.

excellent location
The house is very well presented, spacious and has everything needed for self catering, and a delightful terrace which we used for all our meals - great weather! The air con was extremely welcomed. There is definitely no need for a car to access most areas of the town, which has a good variety of restaurants. One of the nearest was La Petite France (very well worth a visit) but, be aware, that this and some others did not accept credit cards. A large supermarket is within walking distance - useful for immediate necessities. We did have to wait to meet up with the agent for the key when we arrived, which was rather irritating after the journey and the reason why we could not give it 5 stars. However, otherwise good, friendly service, which would encourage us to return.

Great property and good location
This was a very spacious, lovely, and enjoyable property for us. The location is quiet, convenient, and walkable to everything in Tavira. It is just set back from the river and there are numerous restaurants for evening dining within 10 minutes walk. All the bedrooms had air-conditioning which was nice, and the beds were comfortable as well. The outdoor patio was ideal and made the perfect spot for us to visit, spend hours playing cards and sipping excellent Portuguese wine. The kitchen was very well equipped. We used the large nearby market to buy items to make our breakfasts at home each day and items for one very good at-home dinner after a long day at the beach. We have been traveling Spain and Portugal by car for 7 weeks, and for our group, this was one of the best of the 8 house rentals we have done on this trip. One note: Like many older homes in the region - this is a vertical layout on three floors. So, if you have trouble with stairs, it may not be the best choice for you. For us, however, it was perfect.

Cannot wait to come back
This property is just lovely, well exceeding our expectations. Communication with Angie and Jonny both before our arrival and during was excellent. They kindly arranged taxis to and from Faro airport for us. We have two teenagers, so the house worked perfectly. The kids having the gorgeous downstairs rooms, sharing their own bathroom, whilst we had the bedroom upstairs with our own bathroom. The vaulted wooden ceilings in the upstairs bedroom and kitchen are so pretty. The kitchen is very modern and well appointed. It even had a teapot, which i loved! The AC was a godsend on the plus 30c days. The terrace is not huge but perfect, it has a fabric awning which you can lower for shade. There is a washing machine too, which means we packed light and just did a few loads. We didnt have a car, but being so central it didnt matter at all. The supermarket is a 5 min walk, there is gorgeous bakery 2 doors down (Mr.Portugese) plus cafes and restaurants nearby. The ferry to the beach is just over the bridge, so close. We found the restaurants this side of the river much less touristy than the other side. We recommend Terraze, La Salto and Ti Maria Tapas. Tavira isn't a massive place, the main attraction is definitely the gorgeous beach. However, we were after a very chilled break, so for us it was perfect. I cannot wait to come back and stay in Casa Joaquim again!

Great location in Tavira!
Tavira is lovely and charming and this apartment is as well. It’s in a great location where you can walk anywhere you want to be in Tavira. We walked to the ferry to go to the beach, we walked to great dinners every night, we walked for coffee and pastry in the mornings. The apartment is on the 2nd and 3rd floor with one bedroom on the 3rd floor and two one the 2nd. There is a wonderful patio off the kitchen on the 3rd floor where you can eat, read, sun, relax. Even though there is a lot going on during August and the Portuguese get started late and stay up late, the apartment is well insulated and sounds from the street were never an issue. The kitchen is well stocked and it’s easy to cook meals there if you prefer that to going out. (But the restaurants are great and very reasonable so don’t cook too much!) We were two couples, my mom and her husband are in their mid-70s. They did just fine with the stairs to and in the apartment. Beds are comfy, plenty of towels. No complaints! We had a fabulous stay!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, sehr zentral, super Betreuung
Die Unterkunft ist ,wie in der Anzeige beschrieben, sehr gut ausgestattet, sauber und sehr zentral gelegen. Wir wurden herzlich von Angie empfangen und betreut. Uns wurde sogar angeboten, für uns einzukaufen, da der Ankunftstag ein Feiertag war! Von der Unterkunft aus ist alles in wenigen Mintuten zu erreichen, Einkaufen , Fähre, Restaurants alles in direkter Nähe..Was sich aus der Lage ergibt ist allerdings auch die üblichen Geräusche in der Stadt. Wenn man lärmempfindlich ist, könnte einen die Geräuschkulisse von Restaurants , Bars, Müllabfuhr und Renovierungen eventuelle stören.. uns hat das nicht so sehr gestört und wir hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub!
