Holiday rentals with a pool in Tavira

I stayed with two friends and as soon as we arrived we felt at home and relaxed. We had everything needed and there were nice extras such as water bottles in the fridge, local biscuits and coffee pods for the machine. The weather wasn’t great when we were there so did drive to the center but it wasn’t far and in nicer weather we would have walked. There was a large hyper market near by with everything we needed. The house was large and spacious but felt cosy and friendly. We really enjoyed our time there. Thank you.

We were guests here as a whole family and celebrated Christmas together. Our kids loved hiking through the orange and avocado plantation, eating fresh oranges from the tree and horseback riding was a great experience. Great house for children and large family with grandparents. Well-maintained and clean. Frederico got us everything we needed. We'll be back!

Villa Mariana is a gem of a place, with the most fabulous and genuine owners that made our stay so welcome and enjoyable. We chatted to them, and enjoyed the stories of years gone by in the real Portugal. We also found out that Jose, Pedro's father, was a very talented artist with drawings and painting going back decades. The big highlight of our stay was the wonderful swimming pool, which we had exclusive use of. Sun loungers and a Gazebo to sit around the pool and have a cold beer or wine were very welcome too. We found that getting from Faro airport to Villa Mariana, was a small challenge, as Uber didn't recognise the address that we got from Pedro. So we took a Taxi to the Lidl supermarket at Sao Bras, where Pedro then picked us up in his car. This worked very well, but if Pedro is not there you will need to have a clear address, and take a taxi. Also, trying to get an Uber from Villa Mariana is impossible, so stick to genuine Taxis that are very good value. We had a great time !!

We (two people) had booked Maria's house for a week. The house has everything you need: on the ground floor was the kitchen and a small storeroom with a washing machine. Also on the ground floor was the living and dining area, a toilet and access to the terrace. On the first floor were two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. On the top floor there was another bedroom with a bathroom and access to the roof terrace. Outside there was a large pool with plenty of seating and sunbathing areas, a parasol and a barbecue. Each room had air conditioning (to cool or heat the rooms). The House is about a 30 minute drive from Faro. There is a supermarket in the next village. The area is quiet and idyllic. You have a lot of privacy in the House.

The house was superb for a group of friends to spend the week. Excellent rooms. Bathrooms are large. Kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. It was super comfortable to hang around in and just be with friends. The area was quiet but close enough to Tavira and other towns. while we were there the hot water quit, I notified the owner and within 2 hours it was fixed. This is first class.

The villa was lovely and everything went great! Carmen answered every question quickly and kindly. We have enough rooms for 15 people. Area is really quiet and beautiful.

Great little country home with lots of charm! A stone’s throw from the beach. Great swimming pool and gorgeous view! Many thanks!

The villa had everything we wanted - with separate decking areas for different parts of the day depending on if you want sun or shade. All the hosts, Alex, Mildred and Emay were lovely and so helpful. We arrived very late after a long time at Faro airport (now that is a nightmare) and our sat nav initially taking us in the wrong direction, but we rang Alex who guided us in and didn’t fuss that we were late. The pool was great - we had an early August holiday so the dip was what we all needed every day (and night, it was beautiful for a midnight swim looking at the stars). We met both dogs who were very nice, and Lou, the big one, was super cute - my girls loved him! We often ate at home and the gas job and electric cooker was perfect for this. The air con was just what we needed too - so happy to have that to cool down. Didn’t use the TV as it was so lovely sitting outside enjoying the peaceful surroundings and sounds of the cicadas. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay.

The apartment was perfect for our stay in Tavira. Pleasant living room, fully equiped cooking area (dish washer, washing machine, microwave, lots of cups, plates and cutlery), nice bedroom with comfortable bed. The balcony is south facing so gets morning sun for breakfast and evening sun for dinner. It is about 2 km fromTavira centre so is easily walkable. The apartment is very conveniently located - about 30 minutes drive from Faro airport and there are a number of attractions within 30 minutes drive.

One of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed in. It’s a very modern apartment in a historic building, the conversion was overseen by an award winning Portuguese architect. The pool was amazing. It’s a perfect place to explore Tavira only a few minutes walk to the centre . The apartment feels like a home from home.

Excellent apartment with everything needed for a great stay. Supermarket at the end of the road and pool was very quiet with plenty of beds. Not far from Tavira centre but we took an Uber. Only issue was no holder for shower head that was quite awkward but everything else was great.

I just returned from Tiagos place.. and already booked a winter stay. Golden Club has a superb location, free water taxi to the nearby beach on the adjacent island, excellent pool facilities, winter and summer, and friendly helpful staff... but some very mixed reviews re their apartments locations, views and cleanliness, which are generally allocated on arrival. So I decided to book Tiagos apartment and know exactly where I was going. Great Result! Its a wee bit decor/equipment tired, but its a fairly big one bedroom apartment, tiled floors, easy clean, and the highlight is its in a quiet location in the resort, close to the deeper outdoor pool, and indoor pool, has all day sun on the balcony, is not affected by the noise of bars or evening entertainment, ( off season anyway) has decent wifi, a well equipped small kitchen.. and everything works . When there was an issue, Tiago was on it right away, rang me, friendly , helpful, sorted. Recommend.

A wonderful place to stay. The flat is spacious and comfortable and very pleasant. Excellent bathroom and kitchen. Parking is easy and wifi good. Walkable to the water and numerous restaurants and cafes. Santa Luzia itself is gorgeous, peaceful and sunny. Make sure you visit the beach which is stunning and has a nice restaurant. Loved it!

We had a great one week stay at this apartment. It is exactly as described, with underground parking space, flexible check in and great and helpful host :) The place and the area is quiet and safe with nice walk to the little train station that can take you directly to the beach. We can totally recommend this apartment. Thank you Arnaud!

Lovely spaceous appartment, spotlessly clean, everything you need, wonderful location.

Excellent stay. We spent the entire month of February 2025 in this apartment. The place was exactly as shown in the photos. All of the appliances worked well. The size is perfect for two people, but maybe a little tight for more. The neighbourhood is great, but we would recommend having a car. There is a small grocery store on the corner but the bigger grocery store down the street is a better option. There is a better selection of food there, and a really good selection of wine at great prices if that is your thing. One can walk into the centre of Tavira I about 20 minutes, and it’s a lovely walk, but you’ll probably want a car to go to the bigger grocery store and a bit farther afield to visit the neighbouring villages. Tri and Alex are excellent hosts. Communication before, during and after were outstanding. We were even invited to pick oranges and mandarins in their orchard. What a wonderful experience. Tavira is a wonderful little town. We will definitely return here in the future

The House and the host were great and very responsive. House is a bit isolated and hard to find. There's are not enough instructions on how to find it, so it is definitely a challenge. gps can take you to unmarked streets and dirt roads, be mindful of this

Absolutey beautiful villa - great for a family holiday Plenty of driveway space for 2 cars and close to alot of restaurants and beaches Got my deposit back pretty much the same day we checked out The whole family loved it and will definitely be coming back

Great place with great hosts, very nice and responsive. thank you for this great time! The house is spotless, quiet and the area is superb.

We loved this beautiful, spacious house. The private pool is amazing and the house has everything you need, including a baby high chair and a crib. The kitchen is really well-furbished! It was perfect for our family. It's just a few minutes walk to a gorgeous beach and lovely seafood restaurants, but super quiet. The only thing that was missing was a way to lock the door to the pool. It would have made us feel safer to know that the kids can't get out to the pool on their own.

Great house, with all the amenities, an unusually large and pleasant pool, outdoor space beautifully cared for with a very beautiful garden and with several fruit trees. Fantastic cooperation and availability of the owners. Providedly a good experience to repeat.

We had a great time at this beautiful villa. The pool and sea view are definitely a plus. Well located it allows easy access to the sites of interest in the surrounding area (Faro, Quarteira, Falesia beach, Val de Lobo.... I would highly recommend it

Incredible villa in a perfect location, the pictures honestly do not do it justice; it’s even better in real life. Perfection location for walking to the marina as well as the beach . Rooms were great, and having the pool heated allowed us to enjoy for hours! Loved every minute of the holiday, can’t recommend enough

Absolutely loved our stay here. A beautiful home with beautiful pool and surroundings. Very clean and very good communication from Hosts. We would love to come back - thank you José!
