About this property

Serene Haven - Refúgio do Forte

  • Serene Haven - Forte Refuge. 2-bedroom with Private Garden, Swimming Pool, Gym and Garage



    In the Casas do Forte condominium, in Cabanas de Tavira, Serene Haven - Refúgio do Forte combines the privacy of an exclusive garden with the tranquillity of a development carefully integrated into the Ria Formosa surroundings, next to the historic Forte de São João da Barra.

    About 1 minute's walk from the waterfront and the Ria Formosa, you can easily catch a boat to the beach, stroll along the waterfront boardwalks and enjoy the vast gastronomic offer, where fresh fish, ria shellfish, and Algarve sweets predominate. Cabanas de Tavira offers stunning natural landscapes, providing a golden sand beach and warm waters. Here, everything happens at a serene and relaxed pace.



    A bright and welcoming space



    The apartment comfortably accommodates up to four guests and features two bedrooms: one bedroom with a double bed and one bedroom with two single beds.

    It is a particularly suitable solution for families, two couples or small groups of friends who value space, comfort and privacy during their stay.

    There are two complete bathrooms, one equipped with a shower and another with a bathtub, providing greater convenience for all guests.

    The social area develops in a bright and functional open space, which integrates the living room, dining area and kitchen. The environment was designed to allow both moments of socialising and quiet periods of rest after a day at the beach, sightseeing or discovering the region.



    Comfort thought through to the detail



    The kitchen is fully equipped for short or extended stays, including an induction hob, oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, iron and ironing board, Nespresso coffee machine, toaster, kettle, and essential utensils for preparing meals at home.

    To reduce the need for plastic bottles during your stay, the kitchen also has a tap with filtered water, a discreet detail, but aligned with a more conscious way of travelling.

    The entire apartment benefits from air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi and televisions in all rooms, with access to international channels.

    Mosquito nets installed in all rooms allow you to enjoy natural ventilation with greater comfort and without worries, especially during the warmer months.



    A garden designed for peaceful moments



    The main distinctive element of Serene Haven - Forte Refuge is its private garden, spacious, enclosed and comfortably furnished.

    The garden is a natural extension of the house and invites you to experience your stay at a slower pace: have breakfast outdoors, lunch with family, read in the shade, rest after the beach or simply extend your evening outside enjoying the mild Algarve climate.



    Private garage with charging for electric vehicles



    For greater convenience, the apartment includes a private parking space with a wallbox for charging electric vehicles.

    For those who travel in an electric vehicle, this is an additional convenience that allows you to explore the Algarve with greater freedom and peace of mind, from the beaches of Ria Formosa and Tavira to the historic villages, cities and landscapes of inland Algarve, passing through golf courses or a visit to neighbouring Spain.

    Electric charging also reinforces the concern for more sustainable mobility during your stay.



    Forte Houses: Mediterranean architecture and relationship with the exterior



    The Serene Haven - Refúgio do Forte is integrated into the Casas do Forte development, conceived from a balanced relationship between contemporary architecture and references from Mediterranean popular architecture.

    The organisation of the buildings prioritises the connection between interior and exterior spaces, through verandas, terraces and landscaped areas that enhance the light, climate and characteristic way of living in Cabanas de Tavira.

    In addition to the apartment's private garden, guests have access to the condominium's shared amenities: the outdoor swimming pool, the gymnasium and the development's landscaped gardens.



    An exceptional location for any time of year



    Location is one of the property's strongest points, which allows you to easily enjoy the main points of interest in the region:

    Waterfront, boardwalks, Ria Formosa: 1 min. on foot

    Boarding dock for Cabanas Beach: 4 min. on foot

    Restaurants, cafés and terraces: 3 min. on foot

    Benamor Golf — 2.3 km

    Quinta da Ria Golf Course: 7.8 km

    Tavira historic centre: 6.4 km

    Spain (border): 27 km

    Faro Airport: 47 km



    Cabanas is naturally sought after during the sunny and beach months, but retains its own charm outside the high season.



    In winter, the village reveals a more serene and authentic rhythm, closer to local life and traditions linked to the sea and the Ria. It is a particularly pleasant time to stroll, discover Tavira, appreciate regional gastronomy and enjoy the surroundings with greater tranquillity.



    The restaurants remain open, with an offering based on fresh fish, shellfish and Algarve pastries. The lower tourist pressure allows you to experience Cabanas in a calmer way, with time to savour the village and its genuine connection to nature.

    If you are a sports enthusiast, you will have several options such as jogging, cycling, golf, with a full schedule of tournaments organised by Tavira Golf Club and sailing or canoeing at Tavira Nautical Club.
