The terracotta-tiled roofs of whitewashed houses speckle the rolling hills from your rooftop terrace. Your enviable vantage point presents a peaceful yet inspiring scenery, encouraging you to explore Tavira and its Moorish architecture, Roman bridge, and beautiful castle. This is a great choice for those who like to mix up their beach holiday with a dose of culture – especially given the beaches here are so incredible, and you can also take a trip to Tavira Island for a secluded, tropical paradise. After spending a day by the Pacific Ocean or letting blissful hours easily roll by in one of the riverside cafes, you’ll love coming home to your warm townhouse. Traditional furniture sets the stage for a wholesome getaway, while the rooftop terrace invites you to bask in the Algarve sun. When you’re not catching up on your current read on the sun lounger or simply soaking in the view, you’ll love sinking into the shaded outdoor sofa for afternoon cocktails and light-hearted conversation. When talk turns to dinner, you have a wealth of options on your doorstep, or you can fire up the barbecue for a homemade Portuguese feast.
