The house is in a brilliant location so it's easy to walk everywhere from there. There are a good number of bathrooms for a group, and the instructions by whats app for arrival and departure were clear and timely.The roof terrace is a bonus as it was spacious, but the inside communal area isn't really suitable for larger groups (we were 5). We also didn't find any cushions for the terrace chairs and loungers which would have made it more comfortable. Some of the bedrooms would have benefitted from a mirror too. Overall though it's a great find for a short break.

Beautiful home in the heart of Tavira
Townhouse Aqua-Maris is everything you could ask for in a holiday home, spacious, modern and ideally located. The open-plan kitchen and living area felt very welcoming, and the air conditioning throughout the house was much appreciated. Each room was thoughtfully furnished, and the rooftop terrace provided amazing views of the town. Perfect spot for exploring Tavira and the nearby beaches.

Excellent location and ideal for large groups
Our stay at Aqua-Maris was fantastic. The house is beautifully renovated and very comfortable for a large family or group. The rooms are spacious and well decorated, and the rooftop terrace was our favourite spot, perfect for enjoying sunset dinners. The location couldn’t be better, right in the centre of Tavira, close to the river, restaurants and ferry to the beach. We didn’t need a car at all. Highly recommended!

Spacious, modern and with a stunning terrace
We had a wonderful time in Tavira, and Aqua-Maris was the perfect base. The house is large, clean and extremely well equipped. We loved having multiple bathrooms, which made everything easier with a big group. The rooftop terrace with a barbecue and fridge was such a bonus, we had many memorable meals up there. Being able to walk everywhere was a real plus. Would definitely come back.

Great Location
The location was great. Unfortunately there was only one comfortable (two person) couch. The plumbing was a real problem, one of the bathrooms had a plugged toilet when we arrived. The problem was dealt with quickly - thank you. After it was cleared we chose not to use it. A smell endured from that bathroom for the remainder of our stay.

If you are looking for a very central place in Tavira, close to great restaurants, tourist attractions and the ferry to take you to Tavira Island, this place can't be beat!
The place was wonderful as well and had enough room for our group of 9.
Location of Townhouse Aqua could not have been better. The service of the company reps was superb (Olivia and Karen) The townhouse lived up to expectations in all aspects.. So pleased x
Een geweldig huis/appartement.
Alles is schoon, het hele huis is compleet aan spullen. Het dakterras is geweldig.
Al met al een aanrader! Wij zouden hier zeker terugkomen. We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad.

It's in a great position, convenient for the town, excellent restaurants and bars and is a short walk to the local historical attractions. Spacious, characterful, ideally placed property in the heart of Tavira. We really enjoyed our stay.
