I highly recommend this property for anyone coming to Tavira. Sophie has created such a cozy space for her guests, and the location in town couldn't be better. Charming accommodation that feels like you're staying with a member of the family, in the best way.

If you want to experience a true Portuguese life style, then this is your place. Sophie was kind, generous and very helpful. We made dinner and sat in the court yard to eat every night. Location is perfect with access to tourists spots and off the beaten path Portuguese locations. Space is small but very accommodating for 2 adults and 1-2 children.Have fun!!

The property is beautiful with a lovely private outside courtyard to sit in. There is no available parking so if you have a car be prepared to walk a fair distance to get to your car. The location is great. Very close and easy walking to central Tavira. The suite is very crowded and cluttered. It could use some updating and renewal. Sophia was a good host.

Absolutely wonderful little place for a truly authentic Portuguese getaway. Sophie and her family are so welcoming and helpful and ths property is just perfect. Private and peaceful whilst at the same time ideally located right in the town with everything you could need right on your doorstep.

Sophie was lovely, and her compact ‘studio apartment’ is situated right in the middle of the wonderful old part of Tavira. Lots of restaurants (the best of which was Mesa Farta - don’t be scared by its Michelin guide inclusion - it is beautiful food at a good price) lots of bars and reasonable amount of shops. We explored Tavira and it history, and then used it as a base to see other local areas (we had a car). The apartment is small but perfect for two. A little rough round the edges but good value nonetheless. Well enough equipped we cooked at home one evening with ease. Plenty of hot water, and all your basic needs, in a charming setting with outside space too (shared but extremely private). We had a lovely time. Thanks Sophie. Kind regards. Dan

Our first visit to Tavira, we loved our studio. It is well equipped, clean and functional. We used the outdoor area each day, having our breakfast, a meal or enjoying a glass of wine. It is located less than 5 mins from the river, everything in Tavira is walkable.Sophie was a first class host, meeting us in the early hours as we had a late flight that landed before midnight I'd love to go back to Tavira and I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Locatie was fantastisch en heerlijk om in de tuin te kunnen zitten midden in een mooi en levendig stadje. Het huisje was klein, erg stoffig en onder de bedbank smerig. De elektrische aanleg was minimaal en leek onveilig opgelost. Onze host sprak goed Engels en bood ons voldoende privacy.Er waren verschillende katten in de tuin en 1 was zwaar verwaarloosd. Dit was moeilijk om aan te zien. De raggdol achtige kat zat vol viltige klitten en de nagels waren helemaal vergroeid, het beestje mauwde constant erg zielig.

Un excellent séjour à Tavira.Logement conforme à l’annonce.Joli petit studio dans une jolie cour en plein centre de Tavira, tout proche du quartier historique. Jardin calme et paisible. J’ai aimé m'y reposer après les longues journées de découverte de cette magnifique région à l’Est de l’Algarve.Le studio est proche de toutes les commodités : supermarché, boulangerie, bar, restaurants.Sophie, notre hôte, nous a accueillis avec gentillesse et professionnalisme.Le contact avec notre hôte a été super simple car elle parle plusieurs langues, dont le français et le portugais.Sophie, mon petit coin près de votre bougainvillier va me manquer.Je recommande ce studio et j’espère un jour y retourner.Sandrine

Sehr schönes und ruhiges Apartment mitten in Tavira mit kurzen Wegen zur Fähre auf die Insel und zum Bahnhof. Das Apartment war sauber und gepflegt und man kann einen ruhigen und friedlichen Innenhof nutzen, um unter einem großen Baum zu entspannen, der Schatten spendet. Es gibt eine zweite Wohneinheit, mit der man sich den Innenhof teilt und eine gemeinschaftlich genutzte Waschmaschine. Außerdem gibt es dort zwei süße Katzen, die frei im Hof herumlaufen können. Die Vermieterin Sophie war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns bei ihr sehr wohl gefühlt - vielen Dank!
