Situated in the pretty town of Tavria, this boho-chic apartment is a place to bliss out after long days spent exploring the Algarve. The combination of natural textures and neutral tones makes you feel at ease as soon as you step foot into the home. Find the comfiest spot on the sofa with an espresso or take advantage of the warm sunshine and take a seat on the balcony. When hunger strikes, try your hand at recreating Portuguese classics in the well-appointed kitchen. Spend afternoons dipping in and out of the communal pool before catching the ferry to Ilha de Tavira for endless golden sands and the turquoise Atlantic Ocean. In the early evening, slowly make your way back into town – stop for a seafood stew in a traditional restaurant then end the day with a nightcap in a laid-back bar.
