Set in the heart of the city is our apartment overlooking Bishops Square, Jardin Alagoa.

There's a hill top castle ruins with attractive walled gardens and 37 churches which admirably contribute to it's seductive charm. The central gardens is a great place to have a local ice cream and watch the terrapins in the centre of the gardens which is surrounded by cafes bars and restaurants. Portugal is the third safest country in the world and Tavira is one of the safest cities in Portugal. Being here feels like taking a pleasant and relaxing step back in time and all within walking distance.

Christine, the host was very helpful, we arrived early for checking and she allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment, until we could go in, the apartment is so local to everything you will need for a stay, cafes bars restaurants all on the doorstep, perfect, the whole apartment was super clean, and although it is on the road, very quiet at night, we loved our stay.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
Christine was very accommodating about getting us in early after an overnight flight. Her instructions were very helpful.The apartment is on the third floor by North American measure. While very clean, the apartment is not very cozy. For example there is no chair to sit and read in, the couch being very stiff and uncomfortable. It is very well equipped. We appreciated a washing machine and drying rack. There are lots of helpful tourist guides in the apartment and the central location ,right at the Roman bridge could not be better.

Incredible place and location. Christine (our host) was fabulous. She welcomed us personally and had wonderful suggestions and recommendations. We enjoyed this roomy apartment and its amenities. Great views of Bishops Square off small balconies. Walkable to everything.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment! Christine was responsive, easy to communicate with and met us for check-in. The location of the apartment is great as it’s within easy walking distance of everything in town. Bishops Square is a lively area which we loved. If you feel like it’s too noisy, you can shut doors and windows and mute the sound. The apartment isn’t fancy but had everything we needed, including beach towels and beach umbrellas. Kitchen seemed well-stocked although we didn’t use it much. Be aware there are several flights of stairs and no elevator so probably not a good choice for people with mobility issues or a lot of luggage. Tavira is a charming little town!
