About the house

The Doll’s House is a perfect holiday home for a couple or small family and a great work from home space – lots of light and great WiFi. Comfortably kitted out with everything you might need to cook if you don’t fancy eating out every night, coffee machine, cafetière, dishwasher (albeit a small one), washing machine, and bluetooth speakers to play your favourite music. The house is air-conditioned which is reversible in winter to warm the house.

The historical part of town, where The Doll’s House is, happens to be the most sought after area of real Tavira.

The Layout

Three floors, accessed by a solid and comfortable marble staircase

On the ground floor

Our spacious ground floor features a fully-equipped kitchen and dining area with everything you need to feel right at home. Make use of our fridge/freezer, washing machine, and coffee/tea making facilities with toaster. We’ve got plenty of plates, glasses, cutlery, and utensils on hand for your convenience.

And for those looking to enjoy a picturesque picnic during your stay, we’ve even got a hamper stocked with plates and glasses that you’re more than welcome to use!

Our dining table extends to seat up to six guests, so you’ll have plenty of space to spread out and enjoy your meals. And with a maximum occupancy of four guests, you’ll have ample room to relax and unwind. Plus, there’s a handy toilet and hand basin located at the back of the house for your convenience.

On the first floor

As you make your way up to the first floor, you’ll be greeted by a cozy living room with charming Juliet balconies overlooking the bustling streets below. Bask in the gentle breeze during those warmer months while lounging on the large sofa bed, or freshen up in our bathroom complete with shower, toilet, and bidet.

And for those looking to set the mood, we’ve even got a handy Bluetooth speaker at your disposal. Need to catch up on a little work? Our little workspace is just the spot to get down to business.

Feeling in the mood for a little light reading? We’ve got you covered with a selection of novels to peruse. But please be sure not to swap out our books for your own! Our collection is sure to delight and inspire.

On the second floor

Welcome to the cozy top floor!

Nestled under the eaves, our double bedroom boasts a comfortable double bed and plenty of storage space in drawers and hanging areas so you can fully unpack and settle in.

And for those seeking a little natural light, we’ve even got a charming skylight (which can be closed with a blind) to let the sunshine in.

Please note, our neighbor is currently building next door, which is all part of the lively town living experience. However, don’t worry too much about the noise – building work is currently at a standstill (as is often the case in Portugal) due to a falling out, money running out, or a simple change of heart!

None of the floors are closed off by a door so it is all quite open plan living.  The house is not really suitable for two grown couples as there is no privacy … you can hear each other turn over in the night but perfect for parents with children on the sofa bed.

What's included

Fresh Linen

We take pride in offering fresh, crisp linen for every new guest - just one of the many ways we ensure a comfortable and cozy stay. Of course, that includes plenty of soft towels and all the other essential amenities you'll need during your visit.

Air Conditioning

We are equipped with high-quality, reversible AC units that provide cooling and heating to keep you comfortable no matter the season. To do our part in preserving the environment, we kindly ask that you turn off the AC units when you're not in the house. And during those hot summer months, electric fans are provided on each floor for added comfort.

Kitchen

Get ready to whip up some delicious meals in our fully-equipped kitchen! With a convenient fridge freezer to store your groceries, a handy dishwasher to clean up afterwards, and a trusty gas oven to cook your culinary creations, you'll have everything you need at your fingertips.

Parking

You can easily find on-street parking just a stone's throw from the property. And if that's full, don't sweat it - there's a large parking area in front of the church just above the street. So you can relax and focus on enjoying your stay.

Sofa Bed

Our cozy sofa bed can easily accommodate up to two people, simply by pulling it out to king size. And don't worry - if you're bringing along more than two guests, we'll happily prepare the additional bedding you need for a comfortable stay.

Picnic Hamper

Looking to explore the town or head out for a picnic? We've got you covered. Take advantage of our picnic hamper basket, perfect for packing up lunch or drinks to-go. And when you're finished, simply leave it fully stocked and ready to go for the next guests to enjoy.

Get ready to experience the real Tavira!

At the Doll’s House, you’ll be just a stroll away from hundreds of bars and restaurants, with easy access to the 11km golden beach via ferry.

Immerse yourself in the local culture as you explore the castles, churches, cobbled streets, and typically tiled buildings, all while rubbing shoulders with real Portuguese people (and not a campervan in sight!).

Get ready for an authentic experience like no other.
