Cabanas house

Overall I was satisfied with the house , place was well furnished , location was great and plenty of restaurants nearby ( I’d say Dunas was my favourite). My only gripe was the extra slim beds ( all four the same)…I’m 5’ 11” ( 180 lbs) and couldn’t feel comfortable sleeping in those beds. It’s time to get at least a queen size bed to attain a perfect score.

A lovely traditional Portuguese house

A fantastic find, right near the beach (only 1.5€ per adult return fare for 2 Minuit water taxi ride) shops, cafe’s, bars and local restaurants but soooo quiet. Amazing roof terraces. Comfortable beds and everything you need for a perfect stay.

Lovely taste of Portugal

Had a lovely stay in Cabanas in this traditional Portuguese house in a small town. Everything was within walking distance. Close to the boardwalk and ferry across Ria Formosa lagoon to the beach. Two wonderful terraces. Nicely decorated with artistic touches. We had a few issues that required us to contact the owner who responded immediately. Would recommend to others!

Great stay

I highly recommend this property and this host. It is an idyllic location, the house is full of charm and really lovely neighbourhood. Excellent local restaurants, especially fish restaurants, and lovely fresh fruit, vegetable and fish market daily. It's the perfect spot for those who love the sea. Our host, José, was really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

Very authentic house

The house was cosy and quaint. Well resourced. Everything you could possibly think of was provided . Beautiful roof terraces. Near the sea . Please note the nearest train station is cabanas de Tavira . Not Tavira . Tavira itself is only a 4 minutes train ride . Fabulous holiday !!

A lovely house in the heart of Cabanas

A house with rustic charm in the heart of Cabanas. Communication with the owner Jose was quick and easy and he answered the numerous questions promptly. Jose picked us up from the bus stop and showed us round the property and gave us the information required to make our stay comfortable. The house was well equipped and fulfilled all the requirements of a holiday let. We spent most of our time in the private terrace which was ideal for relaxing with a glass of wine. The hose is close to all amenities including public transport, numerous restaurants (Coral and Ideal were our favourites), the beach and shopping. We had a lovely two weeks staying in Cabanas and will return in the future. Thank You Jose! Alison & Ray Fernando

Beautiful traditional Portugese property

Our stay was perfect from the moment we arrived and were met by Maria and Jose. They talked us through everything we needed to know, and they were only a phone call away for any problems which may arise, which was reassuring, but of course there were no problems. The roof terrace is a really beautiful place to relax and on the evening a lovely place to sit, drink and take in the stars. Will certainly recommend it to family and friends.

Cabanas luxury and charm combined

This lovely house is absolutely charming, full of character and spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need and then more. Bedding and towels all pristine and matching colours and such a treat that everything looked as good as the photos, if not better. Plenty of throws provided, in case the evenings were chilly, and beach towels also. The kitchen was so well equipped with good quality pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, glasses, no end of gadgets, tea towels etc ,just don't know how it was all fitted in. Lovely sunny roof terraces and BBQ area. Superb location, two minute walk to the seafront and boardwalk and numerous bars, cafe's, restaurants, shops all within walking distance where you can buy everything you need so no car necessary. Recommend buying all fruit, veg, fish in the local market where you can pick what you want and all such a good price together with high quality fresh meat, cut to order, from the butcher just around the corner. The beach is beautiful and fun to get to by water taxi. The owners met us on arrival and were really friendly and showed us around and said any problems, just call. Needless to say we didn't have any apart from not wanting to leave. This is the best property we have ever stayed in in Cabanas and thoroughly recommend it. Looking forward to that glass of wine next time we are over ! Col and Jan

Boas condições gerais da casa, está decorada com bom gosto e criatividade, resultando num ambiente acolhedor. O ar condicionado é uma mais-valia, assim como o duche exterior e terraço da casa. Existe possibilidade de fazer grelhados. Excelente localização, num bairro sossegado, vizinhança simpática, com muito comércio local ao redor, incluindo restaurantes e bares, e está a uma curta caminhada do cais de embarque para a praia de Cabanas.

Wir haben 6 sehr schöne Wochen in diesem Objekt verbracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Uns stand alles zur Verfügung was wir benötigt haben.Die Lage hat uns sehr gut gefallen, alles ist fussläufig zu erreichen, die Anwohner sehr nett und freundlichen.Mit PKW sind auch die umliegenden Ortschaften in Kürze zu erreichen. So wird es auch möglich all diese schönen Strände in der Umgebung zu erkunden.Jose hat uns bei der Ankunft vor Ort empfangen und uns alles gezeigt und erläutert. Bei Rückfragen und Problemen war er jederzeit erreichbar und erschien vor Ort um für Abhilfe zu sorgen. Wir wussten das sehr zu schätzen.Leider ließ die Sauberkeit der Wohnung zu wünschen übrig sodass wir uns selbst darum gekümmert haben. In 6 Wochen haben wir auch festgestellt, dass so das eine oder andere repariert werden müsste. Beispielsweise war die Tür zur oberen Terrasse undicht, bei einem starken Regen stand der ganze Vorraum unter Wasser. Wir wussten uns zu helfen und waren fortan gewappnet.Auch sind uns in der Küche 2 Kakalaken begegnet. Wenn kein Müll und Essensreste gelagert werden kommt man damit klar.Wünschenswert wäre, dass diese alte Immobilie erhalten werden kann indem si regelmäßig gepflegt wird.Wir sagen Danke für 6 sehr schöne Wochen im Januar/Februar

Nice place but with cockroaches

Nices rooms, good location directly behind the boardwalk, excellent rooftop solarium.The problem here is the fact that it is a quite old house, almost no ventilation so it gets moisture issues ( and therefore mold on several places like the kitchen area and bathroom )We had booked the place for 10 nights but we left 4 days before since we were confronted with cockroaches in the kitchen area / fridge. This was too much for us.The contacted the owner and het came with a story about a wet spring in Portugal but nothing about the cockroaches.

Cet hébergement est parfaitement placé. À 5 min à pied d’une supérette SPAR, 10 min de la plage. Il faut prendre un petit bateau à 1€50 l’aller retour pour aller à la plage et la traversée prend 5 min. Le logement est impeccable et on peut profiter des terrasses surtout le matin et en soirée. Nous avons bien profité du barbecue. Merci José et à bientôt !
