Luxury apartment with private roof terrace in Tavira

Situated in the upscale urbanization of Mato Santo Espirito on the north side of Tavira, my 3rd (top floor) flat has a private roof terrace of over 100sq metres with barbeque, shade netted pergola, sink and stupendous views of the sea and the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, Tavira town and the countryside to the north. There is outdoor dining and seating for 6, as well as sun beds. The flat has three bedrooms, a large lounge with a sizeable balcony with delightful sea, town and country views, and table and chairs.

Spend time at the beautiful beaches, take a boat up the Guadiana River or around the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, wander the streets of historic Tavira and try the fine restaurants, visit the small towns in the hills, or just relax above it all on the roof terrace which overlooks the tree lined streets of the urbanization.

Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in Tavira region, Algarve, Portugal

Excursions snd Destinations Around Tavira

I recommend hiring a car because there are so many wonderful places to visit in the eastern Algarve and across the border in Spain. In addition to the golfing opportunities described below, you can go cycling or mountain biking, fishing, water skiing, wind surfing, boating, swimming in both the sea and the calmer lagoon waters. For nature lovers, the Algarve is a treasure trove: birdwatching is excellent at all times of year, but particularly fruitful in the Spring and the Autumn when the migratory species are on the move between Europe and Africa. Wild flower and garden enthusiasts will appreciate the wonderful plants to be seen here. For the history minded, excursions to the castles at Castro Marim and Alcoutim will also give you a look at life in the Algarve hills away from the seaside resorts. The picturesque border town of Vila Real Sto. Antonio contains a wonderful town centre built to the plans of the Marques de Pombal following the famous earthquake in 1755.

More Things to Do

Vist the Camara Obscura in Tavira, and the astronomical observatory north of Tavira for a different sight of the Algarve´s attractions. Or tour the Mine Park which explores the history of mining in the area through archaeological and historical displays, ranging from Roman times to the 20th century. Or take the local train to Faro, the provincial capital, and wander around its fascinating old quarter, the pedestrian precincts and the shopping centres. You can also take the local train or drive to the famous fish market at Olhão. Or if you are here at the right time, go to the Medieval Days festival at Castro Marim or attend the outdoor film festival in Tavira. The guest book in my apartment has information on many attractions to help you make plans and bookings. My local agents, Ingeborg and Regina, can also help, if needed.

For Familes and Children

There are many activities for families and children, beyond of course, the beaches and the roof terrace. A boat ride on the Guadiana River or on the Ria Formosa lagoon can be fascinating, or just a boat ride to the beaches on the offshore islands is a treat. Most restaurants are very family friendly. The Ria Formosa Nature Reserve has a lovely educational walking trail explaining the ecosystem of the Reserve. For larger family groups, I can offer not only my own apartment, but also two others owned by cousins of mine in the same urbanization. These apartments share the ground floor in an adjacent building with a pool and garden. In total the three apartments can sleep 14 people comfortably (no sofa beds or folding beds). Please see property numbers 58228 and 58660 for details about these accommodations. Arrangements for all 3 apartments can be made with one reservation through our agents. See contact section below.

Golf Information:

Golf Information. As a golfer myself, I can confirm that my apartment is ideally located for golfers - 8 minutes from the top rated Quinta da Cima/Quinta Ria courses, and 3 minutes from the more relaxing Benamor course. Castro Marim golf is just 15 minutes away and the famous courses at Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo are easily reached in 30 to 45 minutes via the A22 motorway. Or cross over to Spain and play the new Esuri course about 20 minutes away via the A22 motorway. For groups of golfers, I can also offer accommodations not only in my own apartment but in 2 others owned by cousins of mine in the same urbanization. These apartments share the ground floor in an adjacent building with a pool and garden. In total the three apartments can sleep 14 people comfortably (no sofa beds or folding beds).
