There is much going for this hotel - superb location in old town, stylish restored old convent building with well-designed new wing, and very nice swimming pool area. The cloisters are a lovely sunny spot to sit in early season, and you can breakfast and dine in them when the weather is good. The rooms are small and rather dark... More

I stayed here with a wedding party recently - everything about our 4 day stay was excellent, from the attentive reception staff whose English was excellent - I was carrying my niece on arrival and the receptionist very kindly showed me to my room and took my bag for me, explaining where all of the amenities were and reminding me...

We did not stay here this visit as we were staying in Quelfes, but made a point of visiting the restaurant, which as before was excellent and the staff most helpful the food was beautifully presented and it was delicious, we shall of cause visit again.

Now looking slightly faded but still comfortable and not too expensive. Pool was empty when we were there that added to slight air of dilapidation. But some interesting courtyards and good public areas. Really excellent and helpful service. Handy hotel secure car parking. Quite close to centre of town on top of hill. 5 minutes downhill to town. Breakfast was... More

The Pousada de Tavira is a neat hotel but still a of a 'work in progress'. I give the staff an 'A for effort' but execution was a little off - even though everyone tried very hard. The hotel itself has a very nice location - slightly off a main thoroughfare area and next to a historic castle and church.... More

The staff were outstandingly friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived and the decor and setting were utterly charming. Here are a few plus and minus points from our stay: + Setting: tall corridors, elegant courtyard and spacious room + Staff:... More

My partner and I have just spent a week at the hotel and had a wonderful time. About a week before we we due to arrive we received emails from the hotel to see if there was anything we needed and they arranged for a taxi to pick us up at Faro airport. From then on the staff of the... More

Delightful rooms in this converted convent--a much more modern conversion than I would have expected. We had a WONDERFUL dinner in the hotel restaurant--apparently, the Pousadas (owned/managed by the central tourist agency in Portugal) are each charged with specializing in regional cuisine, and the chef at this restaurant didn't disappoint. Strongly recommend.

A wonderful historic building, and a privilege to stay there. If I'm honest I'm not sure about the decor. On the one hand the dining rooms have beautiful wooden ceilings that don't seem out of place. The bar, on the other hand, could well be a Starbucks and is as bland as can be. Same with the rooms. Meaningless "sausage"... More
