Description
A fully modernised and tastefully restored townhouse centrally located on the West bank of the River Gilao, just a few minutes walk from Tavira’s main square, historic sights, riverside amenities, and ferries to the beaches. The house is single-storey, and high-ceilinged, and while it is built with three bedrooms (and is proportioned accordingly) it is offered as two-bedroom accommodation only, for a maximum of four adults.
The restoration work was carried out in 2012/13 to a very high standard and the house has been meticulously maintained since then to keep it in top class condition. It benefits from a large rear patio (unusual in Tavira’s historic centre) which can also be accessed directly from the street via a side door and entrance passageway. The house is registered for rental under Tavira Council AL license no. 5246/2014.

Guestbook
Tavira Townhouse
Just back from a fantastic stay in this property. The owner is really helpful, answered all my queries and provided suggestions for places to eat.
The property is beautifully equipped and very comfortable. It is convenient for everything you might want in Tavira and parking is not a problem.
We used our car for visiting Monrerosa olive oil mill at Monacarapacho, Loulé produce market (out of this world - we thought Tavira market was good until we visited Loulé!), Nova Cortiça cork factory tour and snorkelling in Fuseta.
Some more suggestions for eating in Tavira to add to those we were provided with - Gilão near the old market and the wooden bridge, Copos e Petiscos on the other side of the river near the wooden bridge and Três Palmeiras (open 1-3pm only) near Continente.
We were two couples and hope very much to return next year
