Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Cabanas de Tavira, Portugal

The Eastern Algarve, Faro and Spain:: The Eastern Algarve contains the Ria Formosa Natural Park and is an area of rolling hills, dunes and sand bars. Popular with the Portuguese, Dutch and Scandinavians, there are also quite a few British visitors and residents. Faro airport is only 45 minutes away.

Spain: Ayamonte (25 minutes car, 1 hour by train/ferry) is an attractive town. The Spanish resorts lie just beyond and extend to the Cota Doñana national park via Huelva and the ports of Columbus. Seville is a 150km but very fast drive (80-90 mins) on the motorway. Jerez is about 2 and a half hours and Cadiz, Ronda and the Costa del Sol 3-4 hours. River trips up the Guadiana between Spain and Portugal can be taken from Vila Real or Ayamonte.

Apart from the beach in Cabanas, there are numerous other beaches and resorts within easy reach, by car/public transport, in Spain, the East and West Algarve, and on the numerous islands including Tavira. The 'town' beach in Faro (just behind the airport) is well worth a visit (bus/car).

Tavira, Conceiçaõ and Cabanas:: Tavira: Historic and beautiful town with numerous churches and monuments also has excellent shopping facilities and many restaurants, cafés and bars. The Ilha Tavira beaches are a short boat-trip. The town is easily reached from Cabanas by car (4-5 miles, 10 minutes), bus or train (10 minutes), or taxi (5-7 Euro).

The turning right for Cabanas, 5 km (3 miles) east of Tavira, is off the N125 at Conceiçaõ opposite the Benamor golf course. From here it is just over a mile to the front at Cabanas which has numerous restaurants, cafés and bars, shops and a small supermarket with another at Conceiçaõ. Town beach is under 2 mins. walk from the apartment. The boats from here to the Atlantic beaches (2 minutes to cross the lagoon, 4 minute walk to the Atlantic) run every few minutes Mar-Oct. A boat also runs in winter.

Golf, sailing and other activities:: Sir Henry Cotton's Benamor golf course is 2 km (just over a mile) from the apartment to the north of the N125 at Conceiçaõ. Other courses are nearby at Quinta da Ria (2 miles, 2 courses with Quinta de Cima), Castro Marim (15 miles), with further courses within an hours drive in Spain and the Western Algarve. We recommend advance booking from 44 Euro (Benamor) or 26 euros (Castro Marim mid-summer) per round through Manor Houses of Portugal.

Tavira plays host to European championship and international sailing events most summers with a sailing club at Quatro Aguas (Tavira front) and marinas within easy reach at Vila Real and Ayamonte.

Golf:

Sir Henry Cotton's Benamor golf course is 2 km (just over a mile) from the apartment to the north of the N125 at Conceiçaõ. Other courses are nearby at Quinta da Ria (2 miles, 2 courses with Quinta de Cima), Castro Marim (15 miles), with further courses within an hours drive in Spain and the Western Algarve. We recommend advance booking from 44 Euro (Benamor) or 26 euros (Castro Marim mid-summer) per round through Manor Houses of Portugal.

Our Holiday in June

Review Submitted: July 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Just back from our holiday in Cabanas.....
Many thanks to Trevor's agents, John and Una for their welcome - and all the information given.
Trevor and Georgina's apartment is superbly equipped - we've been booking self catering apartments for many years - but have never experienced one as good as this. Whether your preference is to hit the beach, or stay in and cook a meal or bake some fairy cakes - the contents of the apartment will facilitate this (no kidding!). A two minute walk will take you to the nearest ferry crossing to the sand spit - a gorgeous beach on the windward side, where you can either join the madding crowd on the sun beds next to a beach bar, or walk a little further for total privacy.
On personal reflection, we found the town of Cabanas not to be our cup of tea....it lacks character, and has no heart to it. The restuarants are more like cafeterias / snack bars, although we had a couple of lovely meals in the Cabanas Brasserie. Don't be put off with the surroundings - it sits in the centre of a new apartment block - but there you'll find a lovely English chef who is married to a local man. They will make you very welcome, and the meals are beautiful.
There is a fantastic train service to places like Tavira or Olhao besides Faro itself, or in the other direction to Monte Gordo etc. Don't be afraid to use the train service -everyone is extremely helpful - and it's much cheaper than the bus. (You pay on board.)
If you have a car then go along to Cacela Velha and Fabrica - and there you will see the unspoilt real Algarve.
Avoid the UP supermarkets in Cabanas - prices are a total rip off. Get yourself along to one of the nearby Lidl supermarkets (right next to the train station in Tavira or head for Villa Real, take the second turn right for Monte Gordo and it's on your right) and get stocked up for your holiday - prices are a fraction of what you'll pay in Cabanas.
Most of all have a lovely holiday!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Tourists without a Car, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thanks to Tom and Kay for this review. We do try to provide everything you will need. (Though TV is not one of them!).
Whilst Cabanas may not be quite everyone's cup of tea, it does have great appeal for many, especially the Portuguese from Lisbon, and some English families and couples visit year after year.

We will provide a list of local restaurants as some are very good and give excellent value for money. We look forward to trying the Cabanas Brasserie ourselves - as soon as we find it open!

Local supermarket prices are higher as you might expect on the Algarve coast but won't break the bank unless you try and stock up on Kellogg's or PG Tips! Pingo Doce in Tavira is also very good.
The local transport, especially the trains, are indeed a good way of getting around. See you here soon. Trevor and Georgie.

Lovely apartment

Review Submitted: March 28, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
We very much enjoyed our time in the apartment (The only disappointment was the weather!)
The location is excellent, near the sea front and the surrounding area very pleasant. We would love to go again but maybe in the warmer weather of summer. We also appreciated the friendly welcolme of Una and John who were very helpful upon our arrival.
Great value for money

Sorry about the weather!
It is a bit unpredictable in March. Very pleasant this week at the end of March. Look forward to welcoming you again if you decide on another visit.

Review of our holiday apartment in December 2010

Review Submitted: December 28, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2010
We really enjoyed our stay at Trevor and Geoginas apartment in Cabanas.
The apartment was well situated, on the edge of cabanas, near the the sea front, and a short distance to country walks. It was well equiped with a full-size kitchen, two good bedrooms, and a sunny balcony. We did miss a television though, and another comfortable chair in the living room would be nice.
Cabanas has narrow streets and small shops, and is authenticly Portugese.There is a supermarket, and a good selection of bars and resturants. The new development is mainly to the west, well away from the apartment. As perhaps could be expected, Cabanas ( and the Algarve) was extreemly quiet in December, with locals outnumbering tourists, a situation we were happy with, but might not suit all.
For people without transport, Cabanas is ideal, with inexpensive trains to Tavira, Faro, and the Spanish border, with the station 20 minutes away.There are also buses to Tavira from a nearby stop.
We didnt go to the beach, ferries didnt apear to be opperating in the winter- but there were lots of walks that more than compensated for this. Bird watching was excellent!
To sum up, the apartment is ideal for those that enjoy walking, self catering, and experiencing the "real" Algarve.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing
Owner's Response: Thank-you for your review Martin. We will have to think again about the TV and extra armchair question! I suppose this is more important in the winter.

The local ferry to the outer beach doesn't run between November and March. I'm uncertain whether the 'Golden Club' ferry at the other end of the beach is still available in the winter as it used to be but will investigate this next time I'm there.

I'm glad the bird-watching went well - Cabanas is pretty good for this, perhaps especially in the winter.

Trevor and Gerogina's apartment is in a quiet location close to the crossing to the beach which is perfect. It is a very well built and spacious apartment with a security door. Description of this apartment was accurate. Customer service was very good as well

Agents Una and John could not be faulted and were very helpful. Apartment was kept very clean with white sheets and thick white towels

Cabanas Sea Front - A vast improvement with decking and lights as well as cobbled roads and paths. A Fonte restaurant is a favourite of ours serving various fresh fish dishes as well as a varied menu

We would recommend this apartment to friends or relatives and would be happy to return as we love Cabanas as it is very relaxing. Tavira is a good place to visit also

Cabanas Holiday

Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
This has been our third visit to Trevor and Georgina's apartment. Once again apartment well presented, with a warm welcome from Una. Food, weather and fishing spot on. This apartment is placed in a quiet street, the ferry across the lagoon to the great beach is just a minutes walk away. We will certainly be back.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thank-you for this Bill and Gwen.
Whilst we rarely get the chance to meet our visitors, we are always very happy to 'welcome you back' for another special holiday.

Whether you already know the region, have been to our apartment before, or are planning your first visit to Portugal, 'Bem Vindo!'
Best wishes
