Casa da Ponte, Tavira. Rental

This unique property in the heart of the historic town of Tavira in the Algarve, is a delightful self-contained house which has recently been renovated to a modern standard whilst maintaining its original 15th century foundations as well as it's late 19th century house charm. It is still the only house in Tavira situated directly on the river bank as up until the 15th century it served as the town's bridge fortress.

Its location on the left bank of the river Gilão, which leads to beautiful beaches 2km downstream, allows outstanding panoramic views of this characterful town from every angle in the house. A fully equipped kitchen leads to an indoor dining room or directly onto the terrace, which we are sure you will find to be one of the main attractions of the house as it provides ideal conditions for sunbathing, reading and outside dinning where sunset drinks and evening barbecues are a must!

Steps from the terrace lead down to a shady arab style open-air patio, which opens to the river, and is also suitable for entertaining or relaxing on hot summer days.
