Surprisingly well organised and appointed resort. A really good place to relax and get a good night sleep. The accommodation was spacious enough, and the quality was also a pleasant surprise. wifi cost extra (1 euro a day), but was super good.

Tavira is nice, but the stones polished by decades of cars and foot traffic made the sloping sidewalks/roads feel almost treacherous. This is not the location to get away from freezing rain. Some of the old area in the east side is undergoing upgrades to the water system, which means it may be dusty.

Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists.
Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists. Few restaurants other than Indian food. Little shopping. Beaches nice but very difficult to access. Pararia do barrill involves street parking then walking a half mile to a train which will take you 1 mile to the beach for 2eu each way. Or you can walk on a slanted broken walkway all the way. At the beach there is one overpriced restaurant.
Overall Tavira is Not family friendly at all.

We are scoping out retirement options so were looking for walkability and reliable public transportation. Tavira offers both! Local market is full of fresh meat, fish, fruits and vegetables along with wares such as baskets and cut flowers. Lots of restaurants and shops. Walking distance to train which we took to the eastern border then hopped a ferry to Spain for lunch. We opted out of the hotel breakfast and found a cafe across the river for coffee and avocado toast one day, another day we went to the Pingo Doce grocery store for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. We tried a different restaurant for dinner every night and every meal was fantastic. If we had to do it over again, we would not have rented a car. The metro, train and bus system is reliable and comfortable as well as much cheaper and less stressful.

Loved the Friendliness in this nice quaint old town, unfortunately the roads / streets were in process of being dug up & left rather unsafe ( we witnessed a lady falling).. lots of cobbled streets which were left unfinished. Hopefully they will complete soon for travellers & residents to enjoy this lovely town.

Tavira is full of character and has an obvious love of its history and heritage. It offers the opportunity to have a beach holiday without it being forced upon you. Wander down all the back streets and find new places.
We mostly self-catered but there are many restaurants with differing cuisines. Take a punt - it will probably pay off. If you like octopus take a trip to Santa Luzia just 3km away. It is a charming fishing port and the octopus catching centre of Portugal

We've become familiar with Tavira after several visits over recent years. It is a lovely understated destination as a living, breathing 365 days a year town. Not at all touristy, though popular and busy, it's a great base for a sunshine and beach holiday as well as easy access to Spain and onwards. A wide spread of bars and restaurants gives plenty of choice for evening entertainment, and all within short walking distance.
The best place we stayed in the Algarve, it exceeded our expectations by far. One of the calmest and most easy going hotel experiences we have ever had. Even though fully booked, there was so much space and calmness to find in the building. Fantastic location to walk to all main attractions of Tavira. The pool area was an oasis in the middle of the town. Fantastic breakfast, with fresh regional products and specialties. Very good and friendly service from the staff and the most amazing setting to eat inside the courtyard of the old monastery.
So charming peopel running this! I came there in the evening and it was just a welcoming athmospher. Though i wish i was in a more social state of mind myself, it was just what i needed. Mark were amazing in his way to connect and push me in the right amount in the yoga. And it might have been a tip i got from him that acctually saved my health. Next time i go visiting portugal i will bring my daoughter to go see them so she can feel this atmosphear. AND they have a dog Sultan!! and he is amazing! he likes to be brushed.
Quinta Almargem Lusitano was very beautiful place to rest. The host and her husband made us feel like part of the family. Impeccably clean and the food was better then we received in many restaurants! Fresh juices each morning from their own grown fruit trees. Fresh egg from the chicken on their farm. A relaxing environment to rest, pool to swim and 5 minute drive to the center of Tavira! The beaches on the strand are very comfortable and renting chase lounges w/ sun shields out of Barrell wee great!
The hotel is by the river in Tavira, which is a lovely place. We stayed on a room only basis which was fine as there are lovely cafes and restaurants just a short walk away. The ice cream at the cafe next door is delicious too. There is a supermarket a short walk away and more shops on the other side of the river. There is a ferry which runs several times a day which takes you over to a beautiful beach for a small fee.
The hotel was very nice. Breakfast was very good. The lovely piano playing every morning is an added bonus. The roof top bar and restaurant with fabulous views over Tavira. The entertainment there every night. The roof top bar had the best food we had the whole time we were there . Great location so near the restaurant's bar's and the livelier part of Tavira.
Location was superb. In the middle of Tavira, which is a beautiful city to walk in. Hosts were great. Helped w bags. Room was perfect. Restaurant downstairs (same owner) was wonderful. Best steak in years (ribeye). Great staff. Lovely outdoor dining. Lots of other places to try in town, but this one “O Castelo”, was the best.
I got the last room in the hotel in the worst location But it was still great and great value for money. The room was quiet and good size. It did have a balcony but faced the parking lot. Great rooftop restaurant with a great view of Tavira. Nice breakfast. Very nice front desk staff. I will stay here again when in Tavira.
Stunning boutique hotel with amazingly beautiful and peaceful gardens. A real oasis - the perfect place to escape city life, rejuvenate and relax with nature. They looked after us so well and booked us into delicious restaurants every night, recommending us a beach a day to explore. Would 100% go back! X
Breakfast excellent. Service charming and very helpful. The ambience of the whole site was charming and that’s why we return there. Close to all facilities and attractions. Tavira is an excellent place to eat sea food. A real taste of traditional Portugal.
Perfect hotel for a short stay in Tavira; just minutes away from all the life in town as well as to the ferry to Tavira beach. The room was clean, bed was comfy and the price very competitive. Would definitely stay again on a next short trip to Tavira.
The location was very centrally located near Tavira and the outdoor pool was nice with a comfortable, shaded patio area adjacent. The breakfast buffet had a very good, extensive selection which is par-for-the-course at most Portuguese hotels.
We were traveling from Spain to Portugal and stayed overnight here and were delighted! Such friendly service, a beautiful and relaxed place with very comfortable rooms and an excellent atmosphere place to unwind. Highly recommendable!!
The front desk girl is amazing (didn’t get her name). She is very focused on the customers and works constantly! Room was so charming in this historic hotel in downtown Tavira super close to everything! Breakfast was amazing too!
We enjoyed getting the ferry to the island to enjoy the beautiful beaches. Breakfast was adequate with plenty of choices. Pool bar was great, good cocktails and snacks. Hotel in quiet location away from town.
Tavira is a very charming town. The location of the hotel is excellent and a quick walk to the center. The breakfast was fairly good. This hotel is not as rich in decor as others in the group
Everything! Our stay was absolutely fantastic. Management, staff, room, pool, breakfast….everything was perfect. Best hotel we have ever stayed at on our decades of travel.
This boutique hotel is very quiet, clean and well managed. The staff was very helpful. We discovered it is only 8 minutes to town, easy and inexpensive to get a ride via Uber.
