Apartment 2H
About the home
This penthouse apartment has stunning views both along the river Formosa and out to sea. It's in the village centre but in a quiet backstreet. A short walk takes you to some lovely restaurants and local cafes, and there's a small local bakery a few doors away.
It is a two bedroom top (2nd) floor apartment in a small block (not on a large complex), with two large terraces leading from the living room and bedrooms. The large secluded roof terrace has a truly panoramic outlook including lovely sea views.
It is simply, yet tastefully decorated and is well furnished, providing a very pleasant and comfortable stay. It has separately controlled air conditioning/heating units to both bedrooms and the lounge. With a family bathroom and an en-suite to the main bedroom, it provides ample facilities along with a well equipped kitchen with all the usual modern appliances. The barbecue patio is located just outside the kitchen, allowing for ease of catering 'al fresco'.
There is a small private parking area with an allocated space for the flat just in front of the apartment within the remote controlled security gates. An entry phone linking to the street can be operated from just inside the front door.
Note we keep our availability calendar up to date and the only time it may not be 100% accurate is if we are waiting confirmation of a booking.

The Algarve / East Algarve region


The Algarve has one of the mildest and sunniest climates in Europe. The Eastern side is less developed and commercial than the areas west of Faro. You'll find plenty of opportunities for activities (golf, cycling, walking, water sports etc), relaxation and places to visit. Spain is less than 30 minutes away by road or you can take a ferry from Vila Real de San Antonio on the Portuguese side of the Guardiana.
The Cabanas de Tavira area
Cabanas de Tavira (Portuguese for "Tavira's Huts") is a former fishing village on the east-southern coast of the Algarve, Portugal. With a little more than one thousand permanent residents, it has become a popular tourist destination in the summer because of its beautiful beach, Praia de Cabanas, located on an island just offshore (Ilha de Cabanas), which belongs to Ria Formosa Natural Park . The village has many local cafes and restaurants, two supermarkets, a fresh fish and vegetable market and a variety of shops.
The Benamor golf course is less than 10 minutes drive from the apartment and there are a number of other excellent golf courses within 30 minutes drive. In Cabanas you can hire bicycles, practise kite surfing and enjoy some lovely walking in the local area.

Guestbook for Apartment 2H
"We thoroughly enjoyed our three-week late spring holiday (2009) at your apartment, which is light and airy, attractively furnished and supremely comfortable. Its exceptional views and well-placed location for touring made for a most pleasurable and relaxing stay on this scenic coast with its lovely hinterland. Many thanks, Mark and Kathy, for your most friendly and unfailingly efficient assistance throughout." the Cains
"We stayed at this apt. in June 2008, it's very spacious and has a nice cool,clean feel about the decor....we had fabulous views looking both over toward the sea and up the river toward Tavira, the sunrise/sunset from the roof terrace is beautiful, the beach is lovely and never crowded and the village of Cabanas is very quaint. All in all we couldn't fault any part of our holiday and Mark and Kathy who own the apt. were very helpful in every aspect." from Joyce, Bill, Cathy and Geordie (Newcastle upon Tyne) ps we would definitely go back to same apt.
"Just to say that our family had a wonderful time at your apartment, we could not have asked for or wished for more. The apartment itself was fabulous - equipped to the highest standards with an abundance of space. The location was tranquil and picturesque. I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to others and will definitely return! Thank You " Jo, Julian, Jade.
