The town straddles the banks of the Gilo River as it goes into the Atlantic at the Ria Formosa natural park. You can take your time on the old streets, walk along the river banks, pausing for a seafood lunch caught only hours before.

Tavira is one of the most charming towns in the Algarve, and is a terrific location for your vacation home.

Tavira lies along the softly flowing Gilo River, and is a delightful mix of traditional Portuguese heritage with deep-rooted Moorish influences. Hidden within the labyrinth of cobbled streets are traditionally tiled houses, family run restaurants, and a myriad of ornamental churches.

Surrounding Tavira are the interesting towns of Olho, Vila Real de Santo Antonio and Cabanas. There are also first-rate golf courses and unspoilt countryside. As a vacation location, Tavira is the ideal mix of beaches and culture. There is contemporary hotels, contemporary cuisines and wonderful weather condition. Tavira is among our preferred locations in the Algarve, and are sure you will discover the allure of it too.

This region attracts fewer travellers than other parts of the Algarve and therefore promises a more peaceful vacation home experience. Flowing through the centre of Tavira is the Gilao River. It meanders into the shallow waterways and mudflats of the Ria Formosa Nature Park; a haven for migratory birds and sea life.
