Apartment Polka was a great stay. We spent 5 weeks there. It was big enough for us to host a dinner party for 8, yet intimate enough for the 2 of us. Well equipped too!
It was a good walk into the centre of town, even with the 118 steps up and down see more

It was a good walk into the centre of town, even with the 118 steps up and down from the complex to the main road. We used Tavira as a base for further travels to Seville and the Albuferia region. If you do not have a car (we had our bicycles) it is easy to walk to all points in Tavira. Uber and taxis are fairly available. The apartment itself suited our needs and the Smartavillas folks are the best! All in all a great vacation spot! |
