Home description
A dream house 'far from the madding crowds'. Situated up in the hills north of Tavira, Casa Miradoura offers you serenity in style. Whether you are lazing in bed in the tower bedroom, taking lunch on the shaded terrace, soaking up the sun on the pool terrace or cooling off in the pool, you have views all the way down to the sea. It may be hard to stir from Casa Miradouro, but if you do, you'll find the charming town of Tavira just 10 minutes scenic drive down the hill and access to the long white sand beaches of the Ria Formosa just a further 5 minutes on. A fantastic honeymoon house or great fun for two couples sharing.

The Algarve / East Algarve region
In UK terms, the Eastern Algarve doesn't really have a winter, it just goes from a hot dry summer to an extended spring. However, temperatures are lowest and rainfall highest between November and February. But within these months, there are many days of blue skies when daytime temperatures in the sun reach mid to high 20's centigrade and you can quiet easily sunbath. These warm 'winter' days are some of the nicest of the year. However, when the skies are clear, the evenings and the early mornings can be chilly, though it is very rare for temperatures to drop to zero
Tavira / Estorninhos area
Tavira lies at the centre of the eastern Algarve coast and is its most picturesque town. It sits on both sides of the river Gilão, linked by four road bridges, a train bridge and an ancient pedestrian bridge. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Its a big enough town to have everything you want, yet small enough to walk from one side to the other in 15 minutes. At the centre, on a hill rising above Tavira's characteristic pitched roofs, is the castle and the landmark clock tower of Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo. The town is full of old buildings - some dilapidated, others newly renovated. The recently renovated Palacio de Galleria houses art exhibitions. Close by is the novel new attraction of the camera obscurer - don't know what it is ? - try it out. Tavira is most famous for its churches - there's loads of them, though nobody quite agrees on the actual number. The most important are Igreja da Misericórdia and Igreja do Carmo. The idle can sit and watch the world go by from an abundance of pavement cafe's, or else, be real tourists and take a tour of the whole town in its miniature train or even a beautiful horse-drawn carriage. The hungry have a huge choice of restaurants, many specialising in sea food. Self-caterers should head for the fantastic municipal market where a wealth of fresh food is on offer each morning: fish, seafood, meat, deli, fruit and vegetables - much of it caught, reared, killed, made, grown and picked locally. During the summer months, you'll find a good program of evening entertainment, much of it open air and much of it free. The open air Festival of European films is a treat not to miss for discerning cinema goers. Between the city and the sea, you'll find the extensive sea salt industry, oyster and fish farming, many wading birds including stork, flamingo (winter) and avocets, and finally, Tavira's fabulous and - in the summer - busy, beach. Tavira even has its own observatory on a great site just north of the city (see link below).

On the ground floor, you enter into the large open-plan dining room and kitchen, which is the centre of the house. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering. On the east side of the dining area is the second bedroom, with side-by-side twin beds. Adjacent to the bedroom is the master bathroom, which features a large corner bath, double hand basins, a huge mirror, WC and bidet. The west side of the dining area opens into Casa Miradouro's characteristic tower. On the ground floor is the lounge, which is equipped with a music player. Following the staircase upwards brings you to the main bedroom. This has an en-suite shower room, fitted wardrobe, access to the roof terrace and views to the sea.
Further details outdoors: Casa Miradouro is as much about outside spaces as inside spaces. The kitchen/dining area opens out onto a covered terrace, shaded with passion vines, where there is a dining table. The terrace continues the length of the house, where there is a further small table and chairs - ideal for sundowners - and a barbeque. Below the tower is a raised terrace for sunbathing, complete with teak sun loungers and overlooking the pool. Steps lead to down to the teak-decked pool terrace and the 13 metre long pool. All of these areas are completely private, enjoy sun all day long and views down to the coast. Another flight of steps takes you down into the small citrus orchard where there are oranges, lemons, grapefruit and clementines growing.
