Heart of Hearts

Holiday Rental Description

Nestled in the historical heart of Tavira, this white-washed home is perfectly placed in the city – only a short stroll away from artisan shops and restaurants. If you fancy sunbathing atop golden sands, why not hop on a ferry boat and sail down the Gilão River to the Praia da Ilha de Tavira? Alternatively, history lovers may wish to tour the Santa María do Castelo Church, which houses the tombs of seven slain knights.

Centring around its outside space, this homely townhouse invites you to rustle up barbecue lunches on the patio. Carry your cup of meia-de-leite out to the sun loungers and make plans beneath blue skies. We think dipping your toes in this hot tub is ideal at any hour of the day, but maybe the reward will be sweeter after working hard at the lamplit desk. Under the pergola, gather your family at the coffee table while you all raise your glasses to a happy holiday.
