Fantastic huge apartment on lovely complex with pool and snack bar . Everything needed was there. Supermarket 5 mins walk. Taxis very cheap to surrounding areas. Def recommend esp if you rent a car too. Thanks again for everything.

Great spacious apartment. Owner was available by email and there was someone on site to meet us. Well equipped. Easy to access. Good terrace and roof terrace. Pool was a great size and sun loungers available. Used on site restaurant on night of arrival and food and drink was good and very reasonable. Walked into Tavira and back most nights for restaurants and travelled to Loule by train and bus and to Ayamonte by train and ferry from Porta Nova train station which is about a 15 minute walk. One big supermarket shop with plenty of water and a taxi back meant we didn’t have to carry much up the stairs although the stairwell is well ventilated and we managed them without any problems. Will hopefully use again. Host very attentive and checked that all was well on our return.

John the owner had been in contact throughout the build up with suggestions and guidance which prepared us nicely. The apartment was comfortable and spacious for 4 people family- 2 bedrooms. The air con was a welcome relief in the July heat and kept things cool. The apartment was remarkably well equipped with all kitchen utensils and even beach equipment for the kids! Clean, quiet, wifi, and multiple tv channels w/ netflix. The terrace gets early sun, but is nice to sit out in evening for moon rise over Atlantic. No complaints at all, but if you are greatly out of shape or impaired, the 3 flights of stairs may catch you out- makes for good views if hell with a suitcase! A fairly large supermarket is only 5 minutes walk away for all your grocery needs ( i recommend the deli spare ribs!), with a very large shopping centre within 15 mins walk. Tavira, the local town is 25 mins walk, or 5 mins taxi that are fairly easy to book and around 6 euros a trip. The pool was never crowded, got lots of shaded areas to shelter if you want out the sun, and a small bar/restaurant that serves simple but enjoyable foods and drinks til 11pm. Most other residents were Portuguese or French with occasional Brits. Nice that you felt you were not back in UK, but enough company for a chat or for kids to play with. Beach is a ferry away. Did not understand how this works until arrival. No access to beach by walking, you need to board a regular, cheap ferry from Tavira centre. Faff, but easy to do.

We all had a brilliant week . Accommodation is exactly as described.. We all enjoyed the pool. Recommend hiring bikes or car as apartment is a half hour walk from centre of town. Shop is just a few hundred metres down the road. Great fish market in centre of town. Tavira beach is gorgeous and has natural shade! We all hired bikes for a few days and went both ways along cycle track and highly recommend. The only negative would be the busy road outside the apartment . Sometimes a bit stressful with kids. All sad to be leaving ..
