Tavira Apartment For Sale

Centre of Town

This Tavira apartment is an authentically charming property that, were I looking to buy, I would be happy to include on my shortlist. As ever, if you're thinking of looking for sun-drenched vacation apartments for sale, Algarve should be top of your list.

Many people think 'Portugal apartment' rather than 'Algarve apartment' because they perceive the Algarve as being too expensive, but just check what you're getting for your money here...

The Tavira Area

If you've read many pages on Algarve Beach Life, you'll probably have encountered an enthusiastic reference or two concerning Tavira. It's a beautiful town and one of the most relaxing places I've encountered along the Algarve coast.

Location

This superbly-located, spacious second-floor apartment stands in one of the most elegant old buildings within the historic quarter of Tavira. It is close to the Roman bridge which crosses the river Gilão and is handily-placed for easy access to the main shopping area, the market and plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars. It offers real 'town living' in one of the Algarve's most rewardingly restful spots.

Accommodation

The apartment has a living area of 172 m², with three double bedrooms, one of which has a fireplace and an alcove study area. There is also a single bedroom, a large dressing room, a utility room and two bathrooms.

The large number of amply-proportioned windows and other glazing give the apartment a wonderfully airy feel.

Sitting / Dining Room

This is a large room (maximum 7.3 x 3 m), with wooden French windows opening on to a small, street-side balcony. It also has a spiral staircase leading up to a loft storage space and a roof terrace area. There is a striking Gothic shaped window at the side of the stairs, onto the inner stairwell. Suspended plank flooring. Ceiling fan.

Kitchen

Measuring approximately 3.5 x 3 m, and having been modernised with marble work surfaces, and a gas-fired water heater (which serves the entire apartment) the kitchen offers a comfortable working area. 

A door leads onto a pleasant, L-shaped breakfast terrace, with an exit route leading down an interior staircase that opens onto a back street. 

Bedroom 1

Serving as master bedroom, but with potential for conversion into an extra sitting room to utilize the fireplace. A large, airy room with three windows, tiled floor, glazed double doors, and double doors from the study area. Also benefits from ceiling fan. Maximum dimensions of 4.7 x 5.5 m.

The study area has its own window out to the rear of the property (shown in the photograph below).

Double bedroom of 2.6 x 3.6 m at maximum. A bright, front-of-building room with large window and shutters, giving out onto the street.

Bedroom 3

Bedroom 4

2.1 x 3.6 m single bedroom, or could be used as a box room. Single, small window.

Dressing Room

2.3 x 2.7 m, off the corridor opposite the master bedroom.

Utility Room

3 x 1.5 m with single, high window onto side street.

Terraces

The L-shaped terrace is accessed via the kitchen, and is a lovely spot to enjoy an al fresco breakfast.

 

The loft storage area is reached via a spiral staircase from the dining room. This gives onto a large open terrace, with wonderful views across the rooftops (photograph below) of the old town to the Moorish Castelo, and the churches of Santa Maria and Santiago on the other side of the river. There's plenty of space for seating (7.5 x 3.5 m), giving a wonderful area to relax and 'get away from it all'. Ah, the delights of eastern Algarve property!

Even if you're not yet ready to live here full time, this is an Algarve apartment with rental potential.

Points of Interest

Read on for a description of the area where this Algarve apartment is located...

Apart from the beach at Ilha da Tavira, you're not far from some other great Algarve beaches, including Barril (above), Altura and Monte Gordo.

The nearby Ria Formosa natural area is a fantastic latticework of sand and water, with lagoons that offer sanctuary for an array of exotic and interesting birds.

Although Tavira offers plenty of local restaurants, there are more at Vila Real S. Antonio on the Guadiana river border with Spain, with Monte Gordo adding more choice. You could even try the nearby, (recommended by an Algarve Beach Life reader) seafood restaurant in Santa Luzia.

Access to the east-west A22 motorway is only a few kilometres away, so you can zip along to visit any part of Algarve you wish with minimal effort.

Of the several golf courses in the area, the nearest are Benamor, Quinta da Cima and Quinta da Ria. To the west, the famous São Lourenço course at Almancil is about 30 minutes drive away. But most of the wonderful golf facilities in Algarve can be reached inside a one-hour drive.

If you're looking for an interesting and 'traditional' Algarve apartment, then examples like this do not often come onto the market - check it out soon!
