The perfect waterfront location for a stay in Cabanas

Our second stay at this apartment, which is perfectly positioned on the edge of Cabanas, overlooking the waterfront and open countryside. Everything you will need is close at hand, secure off-road parking is provided, and arrangements for picking up and leaving keys were excellent. We will definitely want to visit again!

Very enjoyable stay

We spent a week enjoying everything about Cabanas including this apartment which was exactly as the pictures and description advertised and had everything we needed. Not all the shops and restaurants were open during our stay (last week of January) but we still had great options. We would be more than happy to stay in this picturesque location again.

Restorative getaway

We just had the best time! Quiet, clean, spacious, panoramic views with plenty of little outdoor balconies or terrace nookies. The air conditioning was wonderful. My only regret was not to be able to use the jaccuzzi with hot water. Hopefully Nick will fix it by the time I come back!

We had a lovely stay at this apartment. Cabanas is a charming town with several good restaurants, and the apartment is ideally located at one end of town — just a short walk from shops, eateries, and the boat to a stunning sandy beach.The apartment itself is spacious and bright, with comfortable furnishings and several windows offering sight of the water. The terrace off the living room is a particularly pleasant spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink. While the direct view of the water from the living room is currently somewhat obscured by a tree, the setting remains peaceful and relaxing.The kitchen is well equipped, and having access to secure underground parking was a real bonus. One small thing to note is that there wasn’t a welcome pack or basic information provided in the apartment — details like where to find the bins or any starter supplies would have been helpful.Nick, the host, responded quickly to emails before we booked and has also been very receptive to a couple of suggestions we made following our stay.

Property needs money spent.

Beds were uncomfortable, mattresses need replacement. Coffee machine not working. Second bedroom is only really suitable for children. Kitchen equipment generally needs attention.

Un excellent rapport qualité-prix-nature

Pour ceux qui préfèrent cette partie de l’Algarve bien moins urbanisée, l’appartement de Nick est très pratique et confortable pour une famille. Au bord de l’eau, dans un quartier pas trop dense fait d’immeubles modernes bas, la résidence dotée d’un parking se trouve à deux pas des plages « au naturel » de la Ria Formosa et de la charmante ville de Tavira où il est très sympa d’aller le soir.

Excelente Apartamento

Excelente propriedade: localização premium, perto dos barcos que nos levam à praia. Tem uma vista magnífica para a Ria Formosa e para a praia. Zona tranquila. A casa está equipada de forma inteligente e funcional: tem tudo, sem excessos, sem inutilidades. A decoração é leve, conferindo à casa um ambiente confortável. O proprietário foi sempre de grande simpatia e disponibilidade. Há muitos anos que passo férias em Cabanas e esta é sem dúvida a propriedade que se destaca das outras de forma positiva.

One of the best locations in Cabanas, overlooking the waterfront and island, handy for all local amenities. The apartment is comfortable and we’ll equipped, with balconies on two levels.
