We booked the Porta Nova via Hotels.co.uk after first viewing the Vila Gale, saving a third on the room rate. The hotel is located at the top of the hill on the western side of Tavira, room was perfectly adequate & can't comment on the food as we didn't eat at the hotel. The rooftop bar didn't open the first... more

I had an OK room at the hotel and it looked towards the sea..... but in Tavira the sea/beach is FAR and involves a boat trip. The roof-top bar is amazing and the views are wonderful. That being said I recommend you do not accept a room directly below the roof-top bar (rooms 400-412) as the noise level is VERY... more

We arrived at the Hotel Porta Nova on 17th July 2009. Very impressed with the hotel and the staff were very helpful. Rooms were quite basic but very clean. We thought the hotel was very good value for money, but think the upstairs bar was very expensive as a Barcardi and Coke and a Brandy and Coke came to about... more

We arrived in Tarvira on Fri 17th at the Porta Nova. It was a 3 night mini break on an all inclusive break with a friend. The hotel was lovely, really clean and staff very friendly. The food is lovely, although very limited, salad bar for starters or soup, one meat, one fish and one veg dish for main with... more

We were in Tavira a couple of years ago and stayed at the Vila Gale Tavira. Overall, we preferred the location of the Porta Nova and the beds were definitely much more comfortable! We stayed on the third floor overlooking the pool and there were nice views towards the coast. The hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment, so the spa and... more

At under £40.00 per couple per night this hotel was outstanding value for money. Our stay was from 3rd to 17th March and we had a hire car for the duration of the holiday. We have stayed in the Porta Nova on two previous occasions and based our return on those experiences. Our accomodation in room 312 was good with... more

The hotel is set back a little above the town in a quiet location, yet only a few minutes' walk from the centre. The south-facing rooms overlook the pool and the town, out towards the salt-flats and the sea. Higher floors have the best views. The north-facing rooms (odd numbers, I think) overlook the road and may get some traffic... more

The hotel is well sited up a bit of a hill on the edge of the historic area. It´s a big modern hotel - half the rooms look out over the rooftops of Tavira. The rooms are reasonably sized, though the beds are small. Balconies. There is heating, ventilation (clothes can dry overnight). There is a big breakfast buffet. There... more

Just returned from a 7 night stay - we couldn't wait to get back to the UK. The hotel is not as advertised, it is noisy, the gym was not working (being rebuilt currently and this adds to the day noise), housekeeping would not change the sheets until we complained and insisted (five days in). Staff are friendly, but very... more
