    Decent accommodation with easy access to downtown
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Double Room with Castle View
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The room doesn't actually have a castle view, there probably used to be a view before the new theater was built. Now the castle can only be seen from the *shared* balcony. Even though the "castle view" room is the only one on the balcony level, all guests have access to that balcony; and this balcony is immediately outside the double glass doors for the room. The balcony furniture is not very comfortable to sit for very long, so I guess that can help to discourage other guests from spending too much time outside the room. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was very cramped and it was difficult to get it to dehumidify; we left the bathroom door open with the fan running all day long to try to resolve this. The shower needed a more thorough cleaning, I noticed what appeared to be mold in the shower; probably due to the problems with humidity. Be sure to sign on for ALL the WiFi's from day 1!! When we checked in we were told a specific wifi to use and we were told the wifi was being worked on. The wifi was awful and we could barely get a signal in our room. After a couple of days I asked about the wifi again and was told to use the other wifi as it used the same password...would have appreciated being updated about this right away. Parking was ok, even though it was a couple hundred meters away. The lot was mostly full, but we were always able to get a spot during our stay in Feb. I could see this being a huge issue in the busy season with the lot easily filled to capacity all the time.

    This property is in a great location for wandering around downtown Tavira. The shared kitchen was nice and everything seemed to be clean and well taken care of. The onsite staff were pleasant. The doors had well insulated, newer windows that helped to keep the outside noises to a minimum.

    We didn't dislike anything

    Great location 2 streets back from the river with a nice view of a quiet square. Lovely continental breakfast. A special mention to the Indian young man Gircharnjit who was learning how to do everything. He was very polite & working hard & did his best to make sure we were OK with everything, including offering ideas of where to visit.

    The microwave was not working. On the photos from Booking the stove is there, however, was out of order because it is a B&B.

    Kitchen and living room were comfortable. Location was more than good, even a grocery shop next to it.

    Shower was a little small and did not drain well. Minor issue.

    Helpful information given at check-in. Location was great with short walk from train & bus stations & plenty of choice for restaurants nearby. I enjoyed the rooftop terrace every day that I was there & also the very clean shared kitchen & lounge area. Bed was very comfortable.

    Clean room, comfortable beds and good, safe location of the property
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Twin Room with City View and External Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room was fairly small and the bathroom was down the hall and not integral to the room. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room but we didn't find any breakfast anywhere on the property. We didn't see any staff during our stay. We were not sure whether the kitchen area that our bedroom was adjacent to was going to be used by other guests or whether the rooftop terrace which was accessible from the kitchen area was for our use or for others.

    The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The view over the square was nice. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The location was central and pleasant. There was a peaceful and safe atmosphere in the square outside.

    Lady who checked us in spoke only Portuguese so we were not aware our 'private' bathroom was just off a common kitchen and sitting room. Louvred door to bathroom also didn't help. Ants appear to have set up home there as well.

    The WiFi was poor in the bedroom but I feel as though this is not worth mentioning due to the overall experience .

    From walking through the door we settled in straight away . The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The Kitchen and lounge area are quite spacious and also comfortable. The location is perfect for the train station ,resteraunts and sight seeing.

    The bathroom is a little bit small. It would have been nice if the kitchen had a few more utensils, like a toaster, some more wine glasses, and a working stove. Perhaps it works but we couldn´t figure out how to turn it on.

    The room was large and well equipped, and there was a nice private terrace.

    Did not understand this was a shared apartment (although it was a private room with a private bathroom outside the room), so we almost accidentally entered another guest's room (I think we gave them a scare). Maybe this misunderstanding was our fault, but this information could be clearer in the booking page.

    Clean, well equiped overall, easy check-in/check-out & contact with hosts, location

    Not always easy to find parking but not a problem.

    A great location to the pier and downtown. The apartment is cozy and felt like home! Beautiful kitchen with nice appliances. The living room/ dining area was perfect. The bedroom was nicely decorated, and a nice selection of books to include travel guides. Lots of outdoor space to eat breakfast in the morning and cocktails at night! Our host was really accommodating and checked us in a bit early and gave us many tips for entertainment and getting around.

    Toilet paper could have been better quality. No handwash at bathroom sink...but this was probably just an oversight. I am sure if we had asked we would have been given some...but just used our own. This is being very picky though.

    Lovely welcome and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Everyone very helpful. Everything very clean and modern.

    The room gets hot at night and there was no air conditioner. There was fen, but I am not sure that it works(maybe the remote control was missing batteries)

    The room and bathroom are clean and pleasant. There is a well-equipped shared kitchen, comfortable for breakfast or snacks. Easy communication, check-in and check-out. Fantastic location, pizzeria downstairs serves perfect pizza and makes the place even better=)

    Tiny details could be better - dripping water in bathroom, dysfunctional water ťap in the shower, missing wall hangers in the bathroom and the rooms for hanging the towels.

    No iron and the hairdryer needs replacing but those are minor. Everything else was perfect. I would stay again.

    The bed is really comfy. We stayed during a rainy spell and attempted to watch Netflix on the tv one night but it does not work. The terrace is not private, it is shared but we were lucky to have the place to ourselves. The owner was very polite and the stay was cosy. Kitchen is well equipped but I have to recommend the Tapas place just a few doors up, 5stars. If you stay here you have alot of options around the river but the Tapas on the doorstep was the best!
