My stay at Pousada Convento de Tavira left me with excellent memories. All the staff is immensily kind and efficient. The architecture and interior refurbishment is precious. The small museum deserves a visit. Cleanliness is spotless. The food mixes typical regional with international cuisine and deserves the highest rating. Breakfast is all too tempting. All Pousadas de Portugal offer exquisite services and accommodation but this one in Tavira was exceeding.

“Lovely staff. Peaceful atmosphere”

Excellent service from very friendly staff. Marvellous breakfasts. The hotel is a former convent and has most peaceful atmosphere . It is an easy walk to the centre of a beautiful town where there are several good restaurants. We will return!

“A great hotel with charm and character, much like the staff!”

My room was spacious but dark although that was not an issue as I came in to unwind and didn't want bright lights. The bed was fantastic, just like mine at home, so I slept really well.

My room was spacious but dark although that was not an issue as I came in to unwind and didn't want bright lights. The bed was fantastic, just like mine at home, so I slept really well. I think it helped that the old style wooden window shutters closed tightly each night so there were no chinks of light even if the sun was rising. I lazed by the pool for a few hours each day when the weather permitted and was surprised by how quiet and calm it was despite the roads surrounding us. Breakfast was plentiful and I also had a omelettes made to order a few times. I really enjoyed the carrot or beetroot juice options instead of the usual orange or apple. The evening meal I had was a feast and it was great to see Cataplana for 1 instead of the usual 2 minimum. I think the true test of the hotel though was on the Thursday as the weather was miserable. The hotel passed with flying colours as I chilled easily in the alcoves and courtyard, reading my books, having coffee and lunch without a care in the world - a weather enforced detox from a hectic lifestyle until mid-afternoon when the weather broke and I went for a wander through town. (The goat's cheese tart was absolutely amazing as well!) On that note, the courtyard, is a great space and it was normal to see breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks spill over into that area as there was ample space, tables and seating.

Just back from 10 days in the Convento and it totally exceeded expectations. We were in room 13 , a fabulous room , if you get the choice. Where to start , location of the hotel is excellent a few short steps to the centre of things, lots of restaurants, cafes , shops etc. the comfort level in the hotel is superb , beds are great , linens and pillows are fabulous. The breakfast is amazing , everything you can imagine is available and plentiful. Special shout out to Marco and Karim for their service Service is good , my only tiny negative is that they do need more staff, in the day it can be hard to find someone and the bar is rarely manned. That being said it is quiet in the day , we were often the only people by the pool. I would 100% recommend this hotel and will definitely return to the same hotel if I return to Tavira ( which is also highly recommended )
