Stripped-back and functional, this Tavria apartment provides a no-fuss stay on the eastern Algarve. After a night of blissful sleep, put together a light breakfast at the compact kitchenette then take your plates outside to the balcony and dine in the sunshine. If you’d like to take a break from the heat, make a beeline for the communal pool and cool off with a gentle swim. When you’re ready to explore, take the short drive into the heart of town for the medieval castle and fantastic range of restaurants, bars and cafes. Of course, no trip to Portugal's southern coast would be complete without a day spent at the beach, so grab your seaside essentials and make haste to the golden sands of Praia da Ilha de Tavira.
