Monte dos Avos

Chose this place as it was affordable in peak season for a trip away with friends. It’s spacious and reasonably well appointed. Clean with good bedding and plenty of towels. No air con but shutters and fans made sleeping comfortable. Lovely clean pool that was never that busy, with sun loungers (albeit with limited shade) The place is tired looking and a little out dated, needs a bit of an upgrade but comfortable and had what we needed. Soap provided but no washing up liquid or cloths. BYO. It is located 6 miles out of Tavira with no shops or restaurants nearby so bear in mind if arriving late. Shame the pool bar was no longer functioning. Hire car would be an advantage. That said Ubers are readily available and inexpensive c10-12 euros into Tavira. Very flexible check in and helpful hosts

The place is located in a very quiet area, thd staff is nice, but the lady does not speak English. Our apartment had 2 rooms, big bathroom and well equipped kitchen. It's close to Fuseta, especially if you have a car. The pool is small, but clean. Thetr is also a bar and bilard. I recommend Monte dos Avos, if you want peaceful, quiet holiday.

Booked through teletext and was under the impression we were staying in Tavaria but that was 2 stops away on a train. There were no bars, restaurants, or supermarkets unless you wanted to walk over a rumble road 5 miles there and 5 miles back again with heavy shopping as this place was self catering. Staff didn't speak any English. You definitely needed a car and the apartments were situated in the middle of a field. I've never ever done a negative review in any holiday but I have to say I couldn't wait to get home would not recommend this holiday especially if you had any elderly family members or small children there is literally nothing to do
