A wonderful week at Casa Tranquila

By Graeme McKimm on 13-Sep-2024

We loved everything about our stay in this super accommodation. The property is of the highest standards and the pool was great and very private. Cynthia and Andy are delightful hosts, very helpful, available without being obtrusive. A car is essential as the property is located some distance off the road. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending Casa Tranquila.

Gorgeous & peaceful place to stay

By Naomi Mills on 19-Aug-2024

Well what can I say about Casa Tranquila. It was an absolute pleasure staying in this little gem. We loved everything about this little house, nestled in the beautiful and peaceful Portuguese countryside. The facilities are everything you need for 2 people, with all the mod cons you could need. Including a full sized hair dryer, which you don’t always get in rentals. Pool was lovely and at 8m x 4m was definitely used daily with over 30c everyday. Cynthia and Andy were both lovely hosts and were on hand if we ever needed anything. I would definitely recommend a car when staying here. Plenty of parking on the property and we used the car port which meant the car was not too hot when we needed to pop out. It’s perfectly located, around 35mins from faro airport and that included us avoiding the toll. The town of Tavira is a 20 min drive, where you can get water taxis to the white sandy beaches. Andy and Cynthia provide beach chairs and umbrellas, which means you don’t have to pay for a lounger on the beach to get some shade. We both absolutely loved staying here and we cannot wait to come back. Thanks again Andy & Cynthia

The Name Says It All

By Melanie (Hertfordshire, United Kingdom on 10-Nov-2023

We spent a wonderful time at Casa Tranquila earlier this year. The location is just perfect- serene, peaceful, remote and yet the beautiful towns of Olhao and Tavira are easily accessible by car. The house is ideal for couples. The owners are discreet and unobtrusive but equally on hand if there are any issues. We love this place.
