Pousada Convento de Tavira
Portugal, Europe
Tavira
This excellent and luxurious “pousada” sits in a historical and interesting building that was erected on the sixteenth century and served as a convent. The property is conveniently positioned in the historical city centre, within easy reach from the main important sightseeing points of interest such as Santa Maria Church, a few steps away. Staying at this accommodation option will always be a great experience, as some of the bedrooms have been completely refurbished from cells, exuding a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. All of them offer modern amenities for a truly pleasant stay, including air-conditioning, wireless Internet connection to keep updated and a safe. During their stay, visitors may pamper themselves at the on-site facilities, with the possibility to rest at the spa with a massage and to taste mouth-watering local dishes of the Algarve region made with fresh produce.

Outstanding Hotel and Staff
Wow - I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff were fantastic, arriving at reception we were greeted and shown to our room with enthusiasm about Tavira, its history and the hotel - what a great welcome. Every morning at breakfast we were greeted with a smile from all the staff and even the breakfast/bar manager was on the floor every morning greeting guests and making recommendations. A thank you to Vikas who made us feel welcome both at breakfast and around the pool. Artur and Luis both stood out and made fantastic cocktails in the evening - even ones not on the menu (and they both made a great Old Fashioned). The pool area was never busy and very relaxing and the rooms were spotlessly cleaned every day. We didn’t catch the name of the young lady at reception who kindly booked us into a restaurant on Sunday but she was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area and restaurants (she welcomed us as the start of our holiday as well). Can’t wait to return.

Wonderful place to relax for a few days
Excellent location, beautiful building, great staff. A very peaceful and relaxed few days
Lovely hotel, atmosphere and service
Beautiful residence in quiet area in the middle of the charming city of Tavira. Very friendly and helpful personnel everywhere from the reception to the bar and restaurant. The museeum sorroundings give it an ekstra touch of atmosphere. We travelled with our grown up kids and stayed one week. We had two superior rooms with a beautiful view of the city from our balcony’s. We would definitely choose to stay here again next time in Tavira

Wonderful Hotel
My husband and I stayed here for five nights in June, we really wished it could have been longer.
This is a superb hotel. We had such a lovely room overlooking the gardens outside of the hotel. The room was spacious and clean with a lovely bathroom.
The food, both at breakfast and dinner was fantastic. We particularly liked the breakfasts, where there was such a great variety of meat, cheese, pastries and fruit. The hot food was kept hot in replica Le Creuset casseroles, not like in other hotels where it is under heat lamps which just don't work.
The swimming pool was so lovely with ample sun beds and shades.
The only criticism we had is that the hotel needed more staff at the bar, as it was very difficult to find anyone to serve us on several occasions, otherwise the staff were all very helpful and polite.
We shall endeavour to come back next year.
We do hope the archaeological dig will have been completed by then, so that we can enjoy the courtyard to its full extent.

Amazing customer service and facilities
Peaceful, quiet, adorably manicured gardens and breathtaking city views from the windows. Delicious food at the restaurant and bar, and a caring staff to top the whole experience.
