This home seems too good to be true. It’s a beautifully stylish home on the outskirts of Tavira, an historic coastal town. The quiet setting means that it’s an ideal home for relaxing holidays with loved ones – it feels like your own little oasis. The villa is modern and elegant. High ceilings and an open-plan ground floor mean that it’s flooded with light. We love the exposed tile detail on the living room wall, and the chandelier above the dining table – if you have a special occasion to celebrate, dinner here sets the festive tone. There’s plenty of space in this villa, so you can sneak away for a romantic moment à deux just as easily as you can gather together. We love the terrace on the eastern side of the villa for those intimate moments – it’s accessible through a courtyard so feels delightfully tucked away. If you’re anything like us, you’ll want to spend every possible moment outside, and this is the perfect home for that. Not only do you have a lovely private swimming pool here, you also have a Jacuzzi. When the sun is setting, there’s no better place to be than in the... bubbles with a glass of Champagne. The terrace is splendid for sun-worshippers, but there’s shelter too if you’re more likely to be found in the shade with a good book. It takes twenty minutes to stroll into Tavira, where you can admire the Moorish stylings of the squares. There are parks to stroll through and lots of cafes – make sure to pick up some pastel de nata for an afternoon treat. The beaches of the eastern Algarve are within a fifteen-minute drive, so if gazing at the sea has you longing for a paddle, you’re in luck. Golfers are also well catered for, with four golf courses nearby. There truly is something for everyone here – we’re sure you’ll love it.
