Located just behind Tavira´s Municipal Cemetry, the Aldi and the N125, is Maria Flaminga´s Organic Farmshop. Started in 2016, Isabel Pedras Ribeiro (nickname: Maria Flaminga), graduated in Agricultural Engineering, has build a beautiful spot where she manages a garden nursery, blooming fields of vegetables, herbs and fruits. And a lovely little shop. The Loja Biológica is housed in the former, state owned, agricultural research station, surrounded by land and chickens (fresh eggs!). Attractively displayed in small baskets, you can choose any amount you want, all products are weighed by hand. It makes it even more tempting to try a little of everthing. Together with a small team of dedicated volunteers Isabel makes sure all her veggies and fruits live up to the high biological standards to get certified. Try and taste yourself. Maria Flamenga´s Organic Farmshop is open Thursday till Saturday from 9-15 h. (2025)
The Portuguese are well-known for their hospitality. And that´s exactly what we are aiming at in this fully equipped apartment Taste Tavira. We created an atmosphere where you can relax and feel at ease. We encourage you to get a taste of lovely Tavira and its surroundings, to try the local food and fine Portuguese wines, to take a ferry and go to one of the splendid beaches, to hike a trail, to play 9 or 18 holes….
And after that, you come home. Taste Tavira is tastefully furnished and decorated, designed by Annick.
Welcome and enjoy your stay!
By Annick
By Annick refers to Annick Schreuder. She is happy to make you feel at home in the Taste Tavira apartment. With love and care; she designed it to make you feel at ease while exploring and enjoying the beautiful Algarve. Annick was born in the Netherlands some decades ago and spread her wings at a relatively young age. She lived in France, the UK and the US before settling down in Belgium. She studied history, marketing and cultural management and became a journalist. After that she qualified herself further in one of her hobbies: wine. She became cofounder of La Causerie Wine Education Center and spent another 15 years of pleasantly writing and teaching about wine.
Concerning her private life: Annick is a proud mother, a happy grandmother, a loving partner, a good friend and a grateful person.
Travelling has always been one of her other hobbies. That´s how she fell in love with Tavira. She visited the charming village several times over the years and found out that each season brought something new to discover.The beautiful changing light during the day; the orange orchards who seem to blossom all year through, but differently all the time; the fascinating surrounding nature (hills, farmland, Ria Formosa, beaches); the abundant flowers in springtime and the attractive mild winter temperatures….
So when the opportunity arose to buy a (rental) apartment, she took it. That is how the AL (Alojamento Local) Taste Tavira took shape, because everything is nicer when shared. Like with you, as guests. The apartment is brand new, fully equipped and carefully decorated, by Annick.
Come and explore, Taste Tavira! Bem-vindo, welcome!
