Tavira Downtown Calm House

The house was amazing, spotlessly clean with everything you could need. In a quiet street although really close to the shops, restaurants and the river. Private patio with dining table as well as a private roof terrace. The host Maria was fabulous from before we arrived to when we left, keeping in touch to make sure everything was ok for us.

The accommodation has everything you need, including a kitchen, dining space, and a cute little rooftop terrace. It's in a great location, just through an alleyway to one of the main streets.its comfortable and the host is very helpful - definitely go to her daughter's restaurant, it was so delicious!

It is 3 levels, so a few stairs. But fine for most people.

Alles direkt Centro

The accommodation is in a quiet street very near the centre, so the location is really good. The quiet ends at seven in the morning though when a nearby church clock strikes seven times. The owner is a very friendly, helpful woman who has a shop nearby. She gave us early checkin and late checkout and advised us on parking.

There were a few things: First, the „house“ (first floor, second floor, attic, patios) is much smaller than stated (169 sqm). The three bedrooms are all small, about 10 sqm each, with little closet space. The living room is long and narrow and far from spacious, too. To sit and eat you would go out to the nice patio which has a table for six. Second, the front door would only snap, you could not turn the key around to lock it nor was there any device to lock it from inside to make you feel safe. Third, the description for the property claimed to have a bidet in the bathroom, but that is not the case. It seems the owner has deleted that entry in the meantime but I made a screenshot. Fourth, lack of privacy: The curtains in the living room are see-through, so at dark you can be watched from the window opposite which is just three or four meters away one floor above. The owner says that some relatives lived there. Fifth, the advertised second bathroom was locked when we came, the owner gave us the key on request. It can only be accessed from the patio so it feels like in another, adjacent building, where you have to walk down some stairs as you enter. Sixth, the bath tub couldn’t be used as a bath tub as a plug was missing. Upon our request the owner provided a plug the next day, same with shower products which were not there when we came. We asked the owner for a partial refund in view of all this, especially the incorrectly stated size, the missing bidet and absence of a door lock, but this request remained unanswered.
