About this property

Contemporary living 2 bedroom Apartment Central Tavira

This Penthouse Apartment is located just a few minutes walk from the centre of Tavira and is within easy reach of The Gran Plaza Shopping Centre.
The Apartment is fully air conditioned and has a fully equipped kitchen with an electric oven, fridge and freezer, dishwasher machine, integrated microwave and washing machine.Includes drying frame, ironing board, and detergents,.
The kitchen leads to a South facing balcony with table and chairs from which you can enjoy an early breakfast in the sunshine or a late evening drink.

The lounge has sliding doors which also lead to the balcony. There is a sofa bed if a 5th person wished to stay. The room is equipped with a flat screen TV and DVD player and wireless internet is included at no extra cost. There is also a dining table and chairs from which to relax and share a meal or a bottle of wine

Bedroom 1 is air conditioned and has a double bed and fitted wardrobes. Sliding doors lead out to a private balcony with views to the swimming pool and Tavira town to the west . Bedroom 2 is also air conditioned and has 2 single beds and fitted wardrobes. Each bedroom is served by a fully equipped bathroom with shower.
The apartment is located in a gated condominium, with a shared pool and gardens. Underground parking is available.

The Apartment is a 10 minute walk into the old town which is one of the best preserved in the Algarve and many of its cobbled streets are pedestrianised. Street cafes and inexpensive restaurants abound and fish is a specialty. The Town Council organises a busy program of entertainments through the summer – street theatre, folk music and dancing, concerts, fairs, exhibitions, balloon races, air displays, film and culinary festivals,

The beaches in this region are quite simply stunning, golden and, with 7km of pristine sandy shoreline to choose from, which never gets overcrowded.The beach in Tavira is a blue flag beach, separated from the mainland by the sea and has to be reached by a ferry boat or water taxi.It is certainly worth doing as the island is beautiful- it feels like being on your own tropical island! The ferry boat can be boarded from the river side in town and takes about 10-15 minutes.

The Santa Maria condominium has both a full size and a childrens pool with lawns with trees providing privacy.. There is also leisure centre next door to the condominium which has an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, gardens and a children's playpark.

We had a wonderful time in Tavira. The property was in a great position and we were able to walk to all parts of the town. We didn't actually use the pool as we prefer the beach and there are lovely beaches in the area. There are some really good restaurants in the area and the scenery is lovely. The apartment is spacious and well equipped and we highly recommend it.b

Very clean, nicely decorated, safe & easy parking, great balconies (sunny/shady). 10 minute walk to lots of bars & restaurants. Very walkable, barely used our car. A nice perk, a huge Saturday market sets up across the street once a week. Most importantly a host who answers inquiries within minutes.
