Charming apartment in the centre of Tavira.

Tavira: Location and surroundings of this property

This property is located in the middle of Tavira old town in a calm street, near the supermarket, bars, restaurants and further amenities. Tavira is a former Roman seaport once occupied by the Moors, in the East Algarve. Like many towns in the southern region of Portugal, this city was basically destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1755, so many of its lovely buildings were constructed in the 18th century. Tavira 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. Tavira 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 golf courses of Quinta da Ria & Quinta de Cima and Benamor. It has easy access to the A22 highway (Via do Infante) and is just 30 minutes away from Faro International Airport.
