Lovely villa close to Tavira. Peaceful, very clean. Amazing pool- large, easy access &amp; large outside area. Good parking. Upstairs bedrooms very hot but we experienced a heatwave- fine once temperatures returned to normal for time of year. Plenty of fans provided.  Helpful owner &amp; property manager. Wifi is by a card you have to 'top up' in town. Seating in lounge for 4 comfortably plus 2 on big square comfy matching stools. Good value for money. Had a lovely week.

4 Bedroom Villa with Pool

Family from Sheffield, United Kingdom

The villa is situated a short drive to Tavira and easy to get taxi in and out at night - 10€ Supermarket 5mins away.
Fab location , lovely pool and lots of space around the pool.
But ... the sun bed cushions absolutely stank - need a good clean or renewing and umbrellas all leaning on a 45 degree angle 

Good well equipped kitchen 

Upstairs is really only suitable for children!! 
It was impossible to have a proper shower in either bathroom as the water was either scalding hot or freezing cold - no in between 
Towels have seen better days - paper thin and worn through( such a small expense to rectify) 
Having said all that I would go back without doubt if these few things could be sorted as it is in such a lovely position and the outside area and pool were fab!
Ps met Ian as we arrived and he was very helpful and pleasant but - when we had a power cut and we phoned him to ask about the electric box he didn't return our call which was annoying

Pleasant and comfortable villa, situated in a quiet location. Fantastic pool! Overall, the property is well maintained. Both the owner and manager are helpful and pleasant to deal with. Would happily stay again in the future.

Family from Barnsley, United Kingdom

We had a wonderful holiday at this villa, close to Tavira.  The advert almost doesn't do it justice as the pool area is really spacious and we all loved swimming in the large pool everyday. The layout of the villa worked really well for two families, there was plenty of room and we felt that we all had our own space.  We really enjoyed the evenings sitting by the pool in the warmth under the stars and made really good use of the barbecue, where we cooked fresh fish every night!  Tavira is a very unspoilt fishing town with plenty of shops to browse in and we had some lovely lunches out.  We would definitely recommend this villa and Tavira as a holiday destination.

A very pleasant holiday in a nice villa in a peaceful area close to all amenities in Tavira.  Would hope to return again soon.

Couple from Antrim, United Kingdom

We have just returned from a 2 week stay which we thoroughly enjoyed. It's a private villa with a fantastic pool. It's perfect for a relaxing hideaway with the family. Its in a great location and access to amenities and the main attractions only a 10 minute drive away.

Family from Wetherby, United Kingdom

Fantastic holiday in rural and deadend street, safe for the children with an amazing swimming pool.
I highly recommend Tavira, great area for restaurants, small local shops and beaches on the island.

Belgium

Family from Hoegaarden, Belgium

We arrived at the villa late evening and were met by Ian the manager who handed us the key and showed us around and answered any questions we had. He was very helpful and it was comforting to know we had someone to contact in case of any problems...which there was not. The facilities at the villa were really good and it was a feeling of home from home. Plenty of space and very clean and homely. Outside, the patio area is large and a lovely feeling of space and privacy which stayed with us during our stay of 10 days. The pool really is superb and I swam more in the pool than I had done in the UK for over a year! A hire car was essential. We used Avis rentals at Faro Airport but there are many to choose from. We travelled from the villa to local supermarkets which are a short drive away and also into Tavira on a regular basis. The roads are a pleasure to drive on compared to the busy roads of South East England. The surrounding area is worth exploring by car and we ventured from the Vila and headed north into mountainous areas which was stunning. Overall, this was the best relaxing holiday we have had and I cannot fault the villa. Communications with Charles and latterly Ian were professional and personal. We look forward to returning in the future!

Couple from Fareham, United Kingdom

Although we have been to Tavira before we found the property was in a more convenient place to explore the local area,close to Tavira and many lovely beaches. Barril with its little train to access the amazing long beach is great,its not far by car to most beaches and an easy drive to Villa Real and the border with Spain. We did spend time trying to find the waterfalls at Monihos da Rocha only to find that access is not possible,as there was a fire a couple of years ago and it burnt down the bridge to the falls.
 The Villa is away from the main road in a small avenue of houses it is very quite and peaceful,the pool and garden were nice and we spent quite a bit of time relaxing by the pool.
 Inside the the Villa it has a good size kitchen,bathroom,lounge and bedrooms,which were all clean and kept in very good condition.Owing to a short illness while we were there,we could not get out every evening therefore it was great having a television with British programmes.
 We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Vila Alecrim to our family and friends,hopefully we will return soon.

Couple from Rochester, United Kingdom

We have just returned from a fabulous fortnight at Villa Alecrim, the villa is absolutely lovely, much nicer than the photographs which need to be updat ed as the bathroom and lounge are much nicer now than in the pics. There was plenty of space for all of us and the grounds are lovely and big and the pool is brilliant, a lot bigger than most private pools. The kitchen is very well equipped as is the whole place. We were met at the villa on our arrival (which was early but this wasnt a problem, we offloaded our luggage and went into town for a while) by Ian and Jan who were both lovely, showed us around and gave us some very helpful tips for our stay.
Tavira is a beautiful town and very unspoilt by tourism which was perfect for us.
I would say that a car is essential as the info says a 25 minute walk into town - this may apply to Usain Bolt but for us it would of been about an hour and probably not a nice route to walk either!! We had a car so this wasnt a problem anyway and parking was very easy in town and in the evenings we got a taxi which was around €6 each way. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone it was totally idyllic and much as I like to go to different places every year for our holidays, we are seriously considering going back next year.
