They will meet you at the villa on arrival and are a phone call away should any emergencies arise during your stay. Location of objectThe villa is located on one of the several small hills in Tavira town. The villa is close to the town centre – there is a footpath which takes you to the Roman bridge in 6 to 10 minutes depending on your agility and haste. There are commanding views along the river, over the town and the old Roman bridge, and out to sea. While ample, free and relatively safe parking is available, a car is not necessary.Town: Portugal, Tavira, TAVIRATavira is surrounded by the Ria Formosa Nature Park which offers bird-watching, horse riding, hiking, etc. The old walled towns of the Guadiana Valley are half an hour away while express buses connect directly to Seville. Tavira itself boasts Roman, Moorish and Crusader remains and has more than 30 old churches. Still an active fishing port, Tavira is famous for the quality and good value of its restaurants. Thrughout the summer, the Camara (town council) organises (in the amphitheatre-style main square) concerts, street theatre, folk music and dancing, etc; there are also exhibitions, fairs, carnivals, circus, even a film festival, etc.Tavira Island boasts eight miles of some of the best beaches in the Algarve (and the area around Tavira escapes the cold current which makes the sea so invigorating on the Western Algarve!). Reached by numerous ferries from the town centre (or on a little train straight out of a kids cartoon which runs over a causeway), the island offers an array of restaurants and beach facilities -- there is even a remote, secluded nudist beach at one end of the island! A commuter train running along the Algarve coast allows inexpensive (fares are a fraction of UK levels!) outings to most of the towns of the Algarve. The train also connects in Faro with the high-speed express to Lisbon. Express buses connect Tavira with Seville (~100 miles) and allow a day trip to this wonderful city. Local buses allow visits to the towns of the hinterland where time has largely stood still since 1900. While Tavira has escaped the disco bars and lager louts who plague many of the towns of the Western Algarve and the Spanish Mediterranean coast, there are some lively bars and one well recommended night club/disco. The town itself is largely pedestrianised and there is a myriad of small shops ranging from trendy boutiques through bric-a-brac stores to small, hole-in-the-wall shops which probably haven't changed in the last fifty years. In June 2009, a large new shopping mall is due to open, shopaholics are in for a treat.
