Moorish architecture and charm are at every turn with a stay at this crisp, contemporary townhouse set right in the beating heart of Tavira, one of the Algarve's most dazzling coastal town gems. Discover its shady squares, leafy gardens, a crumbling hilltop castle, and an old Roman bridge above the Gilão River. And just wait until you hop on the ferry bound for the unspoilt golden shores of Ilha de Tavira. Stretching for over ten kilometres and flanked by straw parasols and beachside restaurants, this is the East Coast at its best.

When it's time to beat the heat and rest up at home, you'll love this three-storey townhouse's fresh and uplifting interiors. Once a former olive mill, the house has been carefully converted with light-filled rooms throughout, thanks to Juliet balconies and terraces galore. Each bedroom and ensuite sits on a separate floor, so there's plenty of space to spill out. And when it's time to get together and soak up the sunshine, you can't go wrong with an afternoon lolling about the shared pool and terraces surrounded by fragrant citrus trees and magenta bougainvillaea.

Nice to haves

This beautiful villa, tucked away in the Portugeuse countryside, offers plenty of space for relaxaction but it's not so secluded that it will rob you of experiencing some of the finest beaches and sights, all just a quick drive away. 

Step inside to find bright interiors, exposed beams, and a homely atmosphere that'll make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Though some standout features include the vaulted ceilings in the living room, the games room, and your private cinema, the outdoor area is the true hero. Imagine relaxing under one of the daffodil-yellow patio umbrellas as you soak up every last bit of sun before cooling down in the private pool. 

The pool house offers another space in which to get comfortable with a glass of wine, but it's also where you’ll find the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. Put your dough skills to the test, baking your creations before enjoying it alfresco with an ice-cold beer. Wander around outside to discover various seating areas, but don't miss the rooftop terrace – it's perfect for sunset drinks or nightcaps under the stars. 

Buttercups by the Ocean

Lift Access

Safe

This former olive mill, set in the historic coastal town of Tavira, has undergone quite the transformation in recent times – and we couldn’t love it more. Expertly reimagined into a three-storey townhouse, polished marble, parquet flooring, and contemporary interiors fuse together to glorious effect. 
 
An excellent choice for friends or extended family sharing, each bedroom sits on its own floor with an en-suite bathroom for a little extra privacy. And you’re all sorted if you plan to work, with a dedicated desk tucked away in a quiet corner on the top floor. 

Downstairs, the free-flowing living space leading out onto a charming private courtyard with views of the neighbouring church is made for socialising. Get together for a sunny alfresco breakfast of expressos and Pastel de Natas on the veranda, then pad over to the shared terraces for a dip in that sparkling pool surrounded by tumbling bougainvillaea and fragrant citrus trees.

When it’s time for a dose of sea air and culture, Tavira has got it in spades. Lose yourself to its warren of cobblestone streets on either side of the Rio Gilão dotted with cafes and restaurants, and shady squares. Or hop on the ferry bound for the coast – the unspoilt, golden shores of Ilha de Tavira are everything you’ve been daydreaming of.

The Olive Trail

Umbrellas

Found in arguably one of the Algarve’s most charming coastal towns, Tavira, the setting for this sleek townhouse is hard to beat. Spend your days ambling through the historic Moorish streets surrounding the home – a sunny square dotted with cafes is waiting for you. And when the sea air calls, just hop on the ferry weaving down the Gilão River to the unspoilt, golden shores of Ilha de Tavira – trips to the beach don’t get much more scenic than this.

Back home, the interiors of this three-storey townhouse are as polished and contemporary as they come. So, it's a surprise to hear that this building started as a humble olive mill. Pay homage to the home’s past with a Mediterranean feast around that light-filled dining area – the nearby daily food market will deliver all the goods, including lashings of olive oil for salad plates. Then the rest of the day is yours to hang out beside the shared pool terraces. Surrounded by tumbling bougainvillaea and fragrant citrus trees, it’s a fine place to spend the day. And when it’s finally time to lay your heads, each bedroom with ensuite is set out on a separate floor, so you can all spill out with a little extra space and privacy here.

Single-Level Home

Located in the sweet unspoilt village of Cabanas de Tavira, this home is ideally placed. Contemporary in design, it’s been tastefully decorated with comfort and socialisation in mind. If you don’t feel like heading out to eat, indulge in a delicious dinner with your loved ones in the open-plan living and dining room – beautifully complemented by the sprawling balcony, you have the ideal spot for a nightcap as the sun sets. We love the vibrant colours of this apartment that make it such a happy home, and with both bedrooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, you can enjoy a bit of privacy and quiet time, too. 

There’s a lot to explore in the local area, and a short ten-minute stroll will find you at the beach. After a fun-filled day on the coast, return home for a movie night to unwind. The floor-to-ceiling windows will cast wonderful ambient lighting as the sun disappears. Brilliantly located, this home has it all – alfresco dining, comfort at its core, and a picturesque location for when you want to explore the magic that Portugal has to offer. 

With a Dash of Lime

This stylishly designed apartment is waiting to welcome you on your peaceful trip to the Algarve. The biggest draw of the home is, of course, the large rooftop terrace offering views over this scenic landscape, but we also adore the little balcony, overlooking the Ria Formosa lagoon nearby, perfect for morning coffees in the sunshine. You’ll be in a central spot, close to the ferry boat to Beach Island so you can spend time relaxing on Praia de Cabana, while the charming fishing village of Cabanas, with its delicious seafood restaurants, can be reached in just two minutes by foot.

Inside, it's a wonderfully bright and open living space, where you can sink into the modern modular sofa or gather around the sleek dining table at the end of a long day spent sunbathing or exploring. The bedrooms are just as light and comfortable, while the kitchen will make preparing supper a breeze.

Free Parking

Located on the ever-popular Algarve coast, this apartment has all the charms of Tavira's historic city on its doorstep. Surrounding the Gilão River, you'll find gorgeous architecture housing delicious restaurants and artisan shops. For a taste of culture, history lovers will want to take a tour of the 11th-century castle before stopping by the Santa María do Castelo Church. Alternatively, the golden sands of Praia da Ilha de Tavira await only a short ferry ride away.

With special views overlooking the sun-soaked horizon, this is a home where you'll spend your downtime sipping wine with your loved ones and soaking in the hot tub. We especially love the outdoor kitchen here – what could be more perfect than dining alfresco after making memories to last a lifetime? Inside, the contemporary design will put you at ease while discussing your daily plans at the breakfast bar – just remember to sip meia-de-leite if you wish to start each morning like a local.

An Infinite Horizon

Providing a powerful juxtaposition with its lush, green surroundings, this distinct white villa combines luxury with relaxation to bring you a little slice of serenity on the Algarve.

Take a step inside and you'll find an open space, perfect for entertaining guests or spending precious time with loved ones. You’ll also want to take full advantage of the home’s lounge and dining area that unfolds onto a balcony. Sink into the rattan furniture and enjoy breakfast while taking in stunning town and sea views.

Enjoy Portugal’s lovely weather and take a dip in the large swimming pool, surrounded by pretty calçada paving stones and sunbeds, before heading upstairs to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. The poolside seating area is perfect for lounging in the sun, while the terraces and al-fresco dining tables are perfect for enjoying meals with family and friends.

For those who have an intrepid streak, the villa is just a short walk from Tavira and the boat to the beach. But with a place as comfortable as this, we wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t want to leave.

By Land or Sea

Pod Coffee Machine

Stripped-back and functional, this Tavria apartment provides a no-fuss stay on the eastern Algarve. After a night of blissful sleep, put together a light breakfast at the compact kitchenette then take your plates outside to the balcony and dine in the sunshine. If you’d like to take a break from the heat, make a beeline for the communal pool and cool off with a gentle swim. 

When you’re ready to explore, take the short drive into the heart of town for the medieval castle and fantastic range of restaurants, bars and cafes. Of course, no trip to Portugal's southern coast would be complete without a day spent at the beach, so grab your seaside essentials and make haste to the golden sands of Praia da Ilha de Tavira. 

A Vida Toda

Nestled in the historical heart of Tavira, this white-washed home is perfectly placed in the city – only a short stroll away from artisan shops and restaurants. If you fancy sunbathing atop golden sands, why not hop on a ferry boat and sail down the Gilão River to the Praia da Ilha de Tavira? Alternatively, history lovers may wish to tour the Santa María do Castelo Church, which houses the tombs of seven slain knights.

Centring around its outside space, this homely townhouse invites you to rustle up barbecue lunches on the patio. Carry your cup of meia-de-leite out to the sun loungers and make plans beneath blue skies. We think dipping your toes in this hot tub is ideal at any hour of the day, but maybe the reward will be sweeter after working hard at the lamplit desk. Under the pergola, gather your family at the coffee table while you all raise your glasses to a happy holiday.

Heart of Hearts

Free Parking On Street

Set in complete seclusion and serenity, this family-size villa is ideally suited for a large group looking to bask in the beauty of the Algarve. You're just a twenty-minute walk from the charming town of Tavira, offering friendly taverns and bars. On top of that, you've got access to a private swimming pool and a large rooftop terrace, so you can soak up your stunning surroundings over an alfresco lunch in the shade. 

Adopt the pace of nature and slowly make your way down to the pool for a few morning lengths, before roaming the well-tended gardens with a fresh cup of coffee. The villa makes for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with a comfy lounge area and sleek bi-folding doors that invite the warm weather inside. Flopping down on the sofa for a bit of respite, you'll feel a calmness wash over you, as the gentle breeze continues on through. The decor is vibrant, the kitchen has everything you need to rustle up dinner, and all four bedrooms are just as colourful, making the place perfect for families. 

When it comes to seeing a little more of the area, you'll be able to catch a ferry, just twenty minutes' walk away, over to beach island where the golden sands and turquoise waters of Praia de Cabana await. Later, if you're feeling peckish, there's an array of seafood restaurants on your route home. 

In The Clearing

Being a former olive mill, you would be forgiven for expecting something rustic, but as you step through the front door you’ll see it’s anything but. The first thing you’ll walk through is the courtyard, its bright bougainvillea and lap pool becoming your own oasis in the heart of the city. Take a step into the building and remind yourself this was once a working building – we know you’ll be blown away by the sheer size of the building, and how this allows for ample space and light. Its charming design, equal parts quirky and stylish, is bound to bring a smile to your face.

If you can drag yourself away, you’ll find a charming city replete with cobbled streets and radiant gardens. Go out in search of the perfect pastel de nata, or find a hole in the wall for a lovely glass of port.
