Holiday houses in Tavira

We had a brilliant 9-day stay at Tamsin’s house. The villa couldn’t have been better situated, being a 2-min walk from town and within easy reach of local towns / beaches and shops. The house itself was large and well equipped, with a big swimming pool and living area. We travelled with 2 young children and the house was perfect, with stair-gates, toys and a comfortable travel cot and high chair. Tamsin was also very responsive snd accommodated an early check in and late departure. We would highly recommend.

Very cozy and spacious accommodation. 100% recommended stay

A lovely house in a perfect location in Tavira, a charming town. Although Smartvillas manages it, the best part was when Ian, the owner came to welcome us. He even left us two bottles of wine. I’m going to recommend this place to friends coming to Portugal.

We’ve just returned from a lovely and relaxing 8 nights stay at Debbies place. The apartment is exactly as described, with an authentic and homely feel. What wasn’t listed was all the amenities that Debbie provided both in the bathroom and kitchen (iron, shower gel etc) which were really helpful. The view isn’t quite as pictured anymore as there is some construction just started, but it was so quiet we never heard it and still spent every morning eating our breakfast listening to the birds and catching the morning rays. The complex is lovely, with three pristine clean pools. It was so quiet during our stay that most days we had one of the pools to ourselves which was bliss. Tavira is a 20 minute walk away or €4 in an Uber. It is such a beautiful town, we loved it. So peaceful and free from hoards of tourists. Debbie was a great host. She checked in on us during our stay to make sure all was well. The check in and check out instructions were really clear. I would recommend!

Thankyou Nina for allowing us to share your beautiful home which was so well equipped,beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The views from the terrace where we sat in the morning with our breakfast were stunning and in the evening we sat in the garden watching the sunset . Very easy to get to supermarket and a few restaurants. Absolutely loved this place.

It's a wonderful house. It is very well located. It has everything you need to enjoy it. It's a shame that the deal is simply business. The check-out time was 12:00. We asked to extend it a little, and for this we had to pay a disproportionate amount for 5 more hours, all by message. Airbnb should regulate that. Since we were traveling with a baby, and our flight was very late, we had to do it. This is the first time this has happened to us without anyone logging in the next day (we know this because as soon as we paid, there were no problems). Of course, it is not mandatory, it is a courtesy, and other times we have not needed it, or we have not asked for it. They made a serious mistake telling us that breakfast was included, and when we went, they told us that they had made a mistake. And that everyone makes mistakes. In any case, the house is wonderful. Perfect for a great few days.

Joana was a fantastic host and the property was perfect. There’s a lovely coffee shop just down the road with extremely helpful staff. The property had everything you need and is abundantly spacious. Joana is so helpful with her recommendations. We had a 16month old with us and no question or request was too much. I especially loved the baby friendly features such as the cot (not a travel crib) and the highchair. You’re a short distance to supermarkets beaches and restaurants but far enough out to feel peaceful. We will be coming back!

Iris was always very attentive. The apartment matched the description exactly. We traveled with a baby and Iris was very kind and left baby items available in the house: such as a changing table, towels and some toys. The kitchen has everything you need on a daily basis. There was also some breakfast food❤️, the location is amazing. We traveled by car, but only used it once when we wanted to go to a more distant beach. You could do everything on foot, including taking the ferry to Tavira Island. We would definitely stay in the apartment again.
