Tavira Panorama

This property for sale is located in Santo Estêvão, just a 10 minutes’ drive from Tavira. Tavira is a former Roman seaport once occupied by the Moors, in the East Algarve. Like many towns in the southern region of Portugal, Tavira was basically destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1755, so many of its lovely buildings were constructed in the 18th century. This is a very calm city and an excellent place to retire. Situated on the Gilão River, the town invites visitors to experience a warren of cobblestone streets, traditional, white-washed houses, and dozens of churches, many with exquisite azulejos, the classic ornamental blue and white tiles so prominent in Portugal. To the south of the city are the protected waterways, mudflats, bird sanctuaries, and salt pans of the Natural Park of Ria Formosa. The city offers a wide variety of amenities and services such as restaurants, cafes, bakeries, schools, pharmacies, supermarkets, and private health services. It is a short boat ride away from the fantastic Tavira Island, Terra Estreita Beach, Cabanas, or Barril Beach. It's only 10 minutes away from the Quinta da Ria & Quinta de Cima and Benamor golf courses. It has easy access to the A22 highway (Via do Infante) and is just 30 minutes away from Faro International Airport.
