FLH Tavira Central Town House with Terrace & Rooftop

Super house with excellent decor. Spacious with very comfortable bed. Great outside sitting areas and good location.

Shame lack of certain items e.g. only one bin bag, one tea towel , one toilet roll pp. inadequate for 6 nights. Had to purchase some items.

Bra sängar. Tyst trots läget. Bra och fräscha badrum. Nyrenoverat. Streemingenhet till TV:n så att man kunde koppla in sin mobil. Snabbt och bra WiFi. Läget. Välstädat innomhus.

Jalusin till uteplatsen från köket gick sönder i nedfält läge efter en vecka. Det tog över en vecka att få det åtgärdat, trots påminnelser. Vi hade då inte tillgång till uteplatsen utan att gå runt kvarteret och ta oss in från gatan där. Då huset ligger mellan två gator. Det finns alltså ingen beredskap för om något händer med boendet. Bara en nyckel levererades. Tog några dagar att få en till efter önskemål. Bara en uppsättning lakan och handdukar för 31 dagars hyra. Ingen dammsugare. Trångt att ta sej ut till altanen. Mycket brant trappa upp till terassen. Ingen chans att ta med mat upp. Mindre bra städat på uteplatser.

We recently stayed in this rental apartment in Tavira that had a lot of potential. The location was excellent - close to the centre within walking distance of the river, lots of restaurants, the ferry, the castle, the fabulous mercado for fresh veg and fruit and fish/meats aplenty, the shopping centre and the many great gift and clothing shops in Tavira’s traditional town centre. It was also just a very short walk to a great supermarket and refuse facilities. It was also peaceful, and very safe, offering a nice escape from the busier areas when we wanted a bit of downtime. The apartment itself was comfortable, and looked very clean, with good-sized bedrooms and comfortable beds that made for restful nights, good air conditioning, satellite tv, lots of hot water and good showers (although the upstairs shower facilities could do with a bit of a facelift). The kitchen facilities were also a strong point, and allowed the preparing of meals with ease. Beware the 'hidden drawers' containing cutlery etc - it was a bit of a test to locate them (note, there are 2) but it gave a great sense of achievement when we finally did! We appreciated the downstairs small outdoor terrace and small sitting area outside bedroom two.

While the apartment had many positive features, we were disappointed with the lack of effort from the rental company in preparing the place to feel like home. We found ourselves every evening and morning dealing with living and dying cockroaches during our stay, which was unexpected and made our time less enjoyable. Unfortunately, the rooftop terrace, which we had been looking forward to as a key feature of the property ( and the reason we booked it), was unusable due to obvious rodent droppings and a strong smell of urine on the seating up there. It would have been a lovely spot to relax on. Despite our reporting this, the rental company did not respond to our concerns on the roof/rodent issue, detracting from the overall experience. They did send someone to spray the apartment for cockroaches - after some encouragement from ourselves, but we had already bought and re-treated the space ourselves also, so we were also living with chemicals. None of this made a huge difference to the problem, and the rental company blamed issues outside the apartment as the cause. Communication with the rental company was lacking, the main email address is for the Lisbon office who didn't pass things on the their Algarve colleagues who we had to contact separately, and it seemed they were not committed to being proactive in addressing these issues. In summary, this apartment has great potential, it is very well-positioned and its interior is comfortable and well-equipped. But could benefit from better management and attention to detail regarding cleanliness and pest control. If these issues were resolved, it could truly be a wonderful (and good value) place to stay.”

Location was excellent,plenty of space for 3 people, nicely furnished

Outside space could have done with a proper sweep and clean before our arrival

Wonderful house in a very central location. Decor is beautiful and everything very clean. Very comfortable bed. Unfortunately the weather was very mixed when we were there so didn’t get to avail of the lovely roof terrace. As mentioned by others the sun is only on it in the mornings (may be longer in summer months).

Nothing! But as others have said some basics in the kitchen on arrival would be very welcome, ie. Salt, pepper, oil/vinegar, tea/coffee, wash up liquid. We travel a lot in Europe and these are generally supplied, it doesn’t cost a lot and is always very welcome.

Clean and comfortable terraced house with comfortable living area with a decent TV and strong WiFi throughout. well fitted kitchen and two bathrooms with plenty of hot water

Access to roof terrace is via french window in small twin bedroom, with just, only just enough room to squeeze between the bed and the window to get outside. A very steep and narrow steel ladder gives access to the roof terrace. which is suitably furnished but loses sun exposure by lunchtime.. Managed by an absent management company based in Lisbon, communication is impersonal..only by text. No welcome pack provided, not even a bottle of water in the fridge. No cleaning products...not even washing up liquid.. No hand wash in the bathroom dispensers. No shower gel in the bathrooms. Cheap wafer thin toilet rolls. No basic cooking essentials, oil, salt, pepper.. For the price , I expected better .

The house is great, large rooms and lots of outside space options. The main bedroom is large and the bed is comfortable. Nicely decorated throughout. The roof terrace has sun in the mornings. The location is good, we liked that side of the river. There is a supermarket very close by, as well as restaurants and bars. Its only a few mins walk to the riverside. There is a good bike hire place across the road, we can recommend them. We didn't drive, but parking at the rear of the house looked like it would be ok. The train station is a bit of a walk if you come in that way, the bus station is closer. Tavira is a lovely town.

The roof terrace is a couple of flights up from the kitchen, something to remember if you are wanting to eat on the terrace. The stairs to the terrace are also quite steep and narrow, again worth noting if you're not as able. It seemed a little unwelcoming not to have some basic supplies in the kitchen such as salt, pepper, oil. This is quite common where there it is self catering, and often prior guests leave items like this so it was a shame for there to be nothing in this respect. Accessing the property was also delayed by the house cleaning not having been completed. We were left hanging around waiting to hear from the agent. I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate it if we didn't leave the property on time so accessing from the check in time stated would be appreciated.

Posizione ottima. Appartamento confortevole. Parcheggio disponibile in zona. Tavira veramente bella.

Suggerisco di mettere asciughino per la cucina.
