Tavira region holiday apartment: Conceicao

If you want to get away from it all and relax, then this is the place for you.Within an easy drive from Faro Airport, this 2nd floor apartment with a fantastic roof terrace is situated within the small, friendly village of Cabanas, near Tavira.

The apartment itself is finished to a high standard, with everything that you could need for a self catering holiday. It has balconies at the front and the rear of the property, great for eating al fresco,well equipped modern fitted kitchen, good sized bedroom with twin beds, large lounge/dining area. There are great views to the sea and inland.

The local shops and supermarkets are within walking distance and have a good stock of local produce. After approximately 30minutes leisurely walk, the beach is accessed via a small boat taxi (approx 1euro each) which takes you across the estuary to the beach itself. There are a few local cafes and restaurants serving good quality food, The Jolly Sailor Bar was particularly good for food and it's friendly atmosphere and the generous alcohol measures!

To get out and about, there is a railway station within the village, approximately 10 minutes walk from the apartment, also local taxis and buses are reasonable. Self drive is very easy and leisurely and it is rcommended to go off the beaten track sometimes to visit places like Santa Luzia or Cacela Velha which are each beautiful, quiet villages with their own beach. Or, drive up into the mountains through the small villages where one has a local artist who creates all sorts of objet d'art from recycled materials and leaves it on the roadside for all passers by to see.

A visit to Vila Real De Santo Antonio is also recommended, a great place to wander around cobbled streets, loads of cafes and restaurants to take in the local atmosphere. Large open markets take place here. This town is on the border of Spain and Portugal, only 30 mins drive from the apartment. Also a trip into Tavira is worth seeing, visit the indoor market and again wander around the streets.

All in all a great place to escape to, relax and unwind.

Beautiful accommodation with an exceptional roof terrace - beach is not far and plenty of local places to eat and drink til late.
