About this property
Elegant Villa With Private Pool For 2-10 People Tavira
Casa Funda is a large, elegant villa 4 kms from the enchanting town of Tavira with private pool and terraces sitting on 6000sq metres (roughly 1.4 acres) of grounds with olive, carob, orange and lemon trees, bougainvillea, palms and yuccas. It is tailor-made for larger families: two or three families holidaying together, or one family including Granny, Grampy, aunts and uncles. The property has 5 bedrooms, ALL WITH AIR CONDITIONING, one of which is a very large studio flat complete with second kitchen and bathroom and three single beds, attached to the property but with separate entrance. The studio is never let separately. The main house and its 4 bedrooms all have mosquito screens. In the main house there is a large drawing room with flat screen TV and a brand new (as of June 2017) satellite box which gives you all the major UK channels as well as about 200 more! There are screened patio doors to terraces and pool, separate dining room for 12 also with screened patio doors, fully fitted kitchen, master bedroom w/ queen sized bed, screened patio doors + en suite bathroom , family bedroom with double and single bed and en suite bathroom and two twin bedded rooms. There is a third bathroom downstairs. The studio flat, with its own terrace and a very distant view to the sea, has a large bathroom and kitchen.
After buying the house we embarked on a huge landscaping programme and created a second, large, terraced dining area away from the pool and the noise for reading, siestas, etc. We have further landscaped the garden, adding a fountain/pond feature in local stone, with goldfish, and planting more fruit trees, bamboo, bougainvillea etc. There is a once-a-week gardening service and the pool is serviced twice a week in the high season.
We have upgraded the house by installing air conditioning, a huge flat screen television, internet access, new curtains etc. In 2015 I had screens put in for all the windows and doors downstairs. In 2016 the downstairs bathrooms were also screened. In November 2019 we installed a new, electric hot water boiler in the kitchen so no more risk of running out of bottled gas during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Ursula Higham
My husband, I and our teenage son rented this property in 2008, fell in love with it and bought it in 2009. We live near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. My husband, who died very unexpectedly in September 2012, was an English lawyer and I am half German, half Hungarian,, born in NY and fluent in German, English and French. My son Christopher finished Leeds University and is now working in London. and will get married this June (Covid permitting!). We have a much-loved English blue roan cocker spaniel named Tatiana. . I try and spend most of June and two weeks in September at Casa Funda, mostly taking friends down with me. However, 2020 has not permitted me to see our beloved house...Let's hope for a better 2021.
Why they chose this property
Having spent a week in this house on a 'last minute.com' type holiday, we so loved the house that we decided to buy it. It is generous, spacious and had, and hopefully has, a happy feel to it. It IS a family home. It is also ideally located for Tavira and the beach. The nearby A22 has advantages and disadvantages: Advantages are that you can get to Seville in an hour and 40 minutes, or Lisbon in just over two hours and the disadvantages are that when the wind blows the wrong way you can hear the motorway traffic.
What makes this property unique
Its greatest benefit, and why we fell in love with it, is its design: there is a very large, generous drawing room AND dining room, with the bedrooms off these rooms on either side. In addition there is the separate, but attached, studio flat. So three families can be there without falling on top of each other. The two huge terraces create a feeling of privacy and allow the non-pool addicts to escape from the noise!
We have always had a 5 star rating. One reviewer loved the house and gave it a 1, thinking that was the highest honour. Unfortunately she misunderstood the rating system, and her 1 instead of 5 reduced our average to 4.7 (if you read the reviews you will see!)
