Located on the ever-popular Algarve coast, this apartment has all the charms of Tavira's historic city on its doorstep. Surrounding the Gilão River, you'll find gorgeous architecture housing delicious restaurants and artisan shops. For a taste of culture, history lovers will want to take a tour of the 11th-century castle before stopping by the Santa María do Castelo Church. Alternatively, the golden sands of Praia da Ilha de Tavira await only a short ferry ride away.

With special views overlooking the sun-soaked horizon, this is a home where you'll spend your downtime sipping wine with your loved ones and soaking in the hot tub. We especially love the outdoor kitchen here – what could be more perfect than dining alfresco after making memories to last a lifetime? Inside, the contemporary design will put you at ease while discussing your daily plans at the breakfast bar – just remember to sip meia-de-leite if you wish to start each morning like a local.
