“We celebrated our 30th anniversary here with friends and loved every minute. The apartment was perfect for two couples, and Tavira is a charming fishing village with fantastic Portuguese food and wine, all within walking distance. The beach is amazing (a quick dinghy ride!), with great golf nearby and beautiful sights like the Seven Hanging Valleys close by. An unforgettable trip—we’d absolutely buy raffle tickets again and hope to win next time!”
—Tim and Rachel Olzer
