19B is a 90sqm/1000sqft two bed, two bath ground floor apartment. It has a spacious open-plan living/dining area off which there is a partially enclosed patio area (with gas-BBQ) where you can dine al fresco either in the sun or in the shade, depending on the time of year– the patio also offers direct (but gated) access to the swimming pool. One bedroom has a double bed, the other bedroom has two single beds – there is also a double sofa bed in the lounge. A high chair and/or a travel cot (max approx 18 months) are available free of charge if requested when reserving. The apartment also has access to a large roof terrace with panoramic views over Tavira town and out across the Atlantic.

The kitchen is quite large and is comprehensively equipped with top of the range appliances – 4-plate hob, oven, microwave, coffee-maker, blender, coffee percolator, dishwasher, etc; you can cater comfortably for up to six people. There is a full bathroom (with bath and shower) and a separate shower room – both have WC. 
The apartment has its own washing machine, dryer and iron/ironing board. The apartment is cleaned, and the linen and towels are changed, each 6 to 8 days; fresh towels and bathrooms cleaned each 3 to 4 days is an option. English-speaking staff are on hand in Reception to deal with any minor emergencies which may arise and to assist with tours, car rental, etc. The restaurant area provides live entertainment on a regular basis during the season. The old town is a 10 to 15 minute walk but it’s downhill – many people elect to walk there and taxi back at a 2011 cost of approx Euro 4,00. 

A Welcome Pack awaits all parties on arrival, typically tea, coffee, milk, sugar, water, wine/beer, sodas, cheese, crackers.

A car is not essential (and Tavira town is largely pedestrianised) but you can, for example, rent a car in Tavira towards the end of your stay to do a little touring and drop it off at the airport, thereby saving one taxi transfer. Throughout the season, the local Camara (Town Council) organises a 
continuous variety of fairs, exhibitions, street theatre, folk music and dancing – there is even a film festival and a bikers rally. 

Nearby Tavira Island (a sandbar reached by ferry or water taxi from the town centre) offers about eight miles of some of the finest white strands in the Algarve – and the sea water around Tavira is the warmest anywhere in the Algarve. The island also offers bars, restaurants, umbrellas, lilos, massage, etc -- and even a remote nudist beach.
