About this property

Garden Apartment In Elegant, Spacious Old Tavira Townhouse, perfect location

Ideally situated on a wide, tree-lined avenue, just 2 minutes' walk from the railway station and 8minutes' walk from the centre of town, this comfortable apartment has that rare feature amongst townhouses - a good sized garden, with orange and lemon trees. The apartment is the ground floor of an old house, built around the turn of the 19th century when ceilings were high, windows ornate and there was a general feeling of spaciousness. It has been beautifully renovated, retaining many of the charming old features (like a handy well just outside the back door!) and modernised in keeping with the same mood. There are three bedrooms: two doubles and one twin, and two bathrooms. Air conditioning in two of the bedrooms. The air-conditioned dining area and the adjoining kitchen both have tall double doors that open onto a totally secluded, paved patio with bistro tables and chairs, just perfect for a sunny breakfast - or for a shady afternoon tea in the heat of the summer! Off the dining area is the 'snug' - a cosy evening room with two comfortable sofas and a big armchair. The house is in easy walking distance of everything that beautiful Tavira has to offer, and is ideal for a car-free holiday. But for those with cars, there is parking on meters opposite the house and free parking close by. The house is right opposite a small, very peaceful square with exotic trees and flowers that has two cafés and a bakers. There is also a Lidl supermarket tucked away by the railway station, 2 minutes' walk from the house. The Avenida, although just a few minutes' stroll from the centre of town, is sufficiently distant from the town centre to avoid noise, and is an area that is mostly 'Portuguese' rather than 'touristic'. It is a wide street, only busy at Tavira's very modest 'rush hours' (Tavira is an extremely quiet little town), and lined on both sides with jacaranda and other trees.

Wonderful apartment with lemon trees
We had a fantastic week-long stay at Constant’s garden apartment. Our kids loved the backyard, finding fallen lemons (we made lemonade). The apartment is quiet, comfortable, and easy asking distance to anything in the city centre. The friendly pasteleria just across the road was our go to for morning coffee. Constant was communicative and responsive . Highly recommend for a stay with kids!

wonderful home great spot
thank you, we had a wonderful stay, lovely home really good location, only lost a star at the end because a couple of little things were broken (a couple of lights, one of the loungers..) and only possibly because they hadn't been reported before. otherwise really lovely spot for a restful easy holiday! happy to recommend, and look forward to coming again.

About the host

Hosted by Constant van Scherpenseel

Host profile image
Goede morgen! I am Constant, professional photographer, spare-time actor and musician, and renovator of old houses. I have renovated many houses for other people and it has been so nice finally to do one for myself!
I love this house - particularly the unusual things like the little well by the outdoor kitchen - or what used to be the outdoor kitchen and is now one of several store rooms. I have tried to keep the spirit of the old house while making it thoroughly comfortable to live in.

I will do my best to answer any questions you might have in English, Dutch, German or Portuguese.

Why they chose this property

Tavira is the most beautiful town in the Algarve - easily! And this is a great location in Tavira - on a beautiful Avenida, with local bars and cafés, close to the railway station, a handy supermarket nearby, and just a short stroll down the Avenue to the centre of town. So you can easily walk to all the tourist-ey things, and also easily get away from them to come 'home'.

What makes this property unique

The garden is the main benefit - it is so unusual to have a property with a garden in Tavira. And this is a good-sized garden, about 30m (100ft, more or less) long, full of fruit trees. There is a walled terrace, as well as a partly-covered patio area. The house has a very spacious, elegant feel - I loved it as soon as I saw it, even totally dilapidated. Now I am very proud of it.
