Consisting of two separate apartments on either side of an inviting pool area, each of which consists of a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area, this charming holiday home filled with authentically Portuguese touches is an ideal choice for groups of friends up to four people or a couple looking to explore the delights of the Algarve with another pair, but still enjoy uninterrupted privacy in the evening. Whilst each unit offers seclusion, peace, quiet and sheer relaxation in their understted yet tasteful interiors, the salt water pool and the variety of seating areas that line it provides the perfect place to come together in the evening, enjoy the balmy temperatures and technicoloured sunsets that illuminate the skies here come dusk – and where better to enjoy that sunset than up on the rooftop terrace that sits above one of the units? The immediate surroundings of this home in Tavira are relatively sedate, allowing you to really delve into the authentic Portuguese way of life away from the hubbub of the busier coastal resorts. It also means that if you are hoping to simply kick back with a good book, soak up the sun, catch up with your travel companions, or... get in the kitchen and try your hand at replicating famous Portuguese dishes – then you are in luck! Though you will find great restaurants serving typical regional dishes and bars frequented by locals and tourists alike in Tavira, as well as in Santa Luzia and Fuseta – each reachable in around 10-15 mins by car. Don't miss out on a visit to the coastal nature reserve at Ria Formosa (around 1.5 kilometres from the home) where you can enjoy fantastic hiking and biking opportunities.
