Villa Boa Vista

Description:
This is a large 250sqm/2700sqft villa with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, large lounge, large kitchen/dining room, several terraces, pool 11 x 5m (36 x 16ft) separated from the patio by a child security fence. There are two double bedrooms (one en suite and aircon, one with fan) and two twin bedrooms (both with fan). The villa is tastefully furnished and comprehensively equipped (indoors and outdoors) to cater for max eight guests. Cable and Satellite TV (BBC, ITV, etc) is provided, also DVD, CD, etc. WiFi broadband internet access is included. Lounge and dining room are air-conditioned. Lounge has 2x3-seater and 2x2-seater couches Kitchen and dining in separate open-plan arrangement are bright and airy. All windows in the villa (other than in the bathrooms) are equipped with shutters to guard against the sun in the summer heat.
While smoking is not permitted indoors, there are 8 sliding doors on the ground floor to the wrap-around terrace and each bedroom has a sliding door to a small balcony. Cleaning and linen each 6 to 8 days, towels and bathrooms each 3 to 4 days. Off road parking is available. Both the pool and the patio area are provided with garden furniture; the child security fence will be a boon to families with small children.
While a car may be desirable, it is not necessary. A footpath at the back of the villa leads to the Roman Bridge in 6 to 8 minutes walk.
The ~7 miles/11km of beaches on Tavira Island are reached by ferry or by small train. There is even a remote, secluded nudist beach.
Tavira is still an active fishing port and boasts many good and inexpensive restaurants (and, unlike Spain, Portuguese restaurants open at ~19h00/7.00pm). There is a marked absence of the lager louts and disco bars which plague so many other resort towns.
For the golfer, there are several courses within 15 minutes; travel one hour and you have pretty well all of the Algarve courses available to you plus Isla da Canela and Islantilla over the border in Spain.
Tavira is surrounded by the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve which abounds in flora, fauna, lepidoptera, etc. You can also go cycling or horseriding there. There is kayaking on the river in Tavira, surfing off Tavira Island, boat hire for sea fishing, etc.
For sightseeing, you have the Algarve Hills at the back of Tavira or the many fortified towns of the Guadiana Valley which forms the border between Portugal and Spain (Spain is 20miles/30km from Tavira).
