Loved the old and new mixed together to create a unique property. All details were attended to: comfortable beds; plush towels and robes (and slippers!); good water pressure in the shower; strong AC in the rooms; excellent breakfast included; attentive staff and perfect location in the centre of it all. Zero complaints! 10/10

Nothing at all. No improvements that we can think of!

Location is spectacular right in heart of the old town near the castle, churches to visit, the bridge, restaurants etc. Going back in time is wonderful too. The property is beautiful. Pool is fantastic and super chill. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful with a lot of variety of local foods. The cheeses were to die for ?!

Hotel is truly wonderful but the lack of replacement of amenities in both nespresso capsules/tea and in bathroom (lotion) is disappointing and surprising. For a 5 star hotel I would expect automatic daily replenishment. Breakfast is a late start at 8am so for early risers and those looking to make the first beach ferry that leaves at 8:30am a 7am or 7:30am start would be best.

It’s beautiful! I love that the hotel isn’t too big, has the premium feeling of a boutique hotel.

The shower doesn’t have much pressure (but I heard that’s an issue in all of Algarve) and the AC is noisy!

Beautifully set in an old convent but made luxurious. Right in the centre of Tavira but set up the hill so not noisy at all. Exquisitely comfortable bed and room clean and comfortable with excellent bathroom facilities. Pool area lovely. Did not experience breakfast or any other meals as stay was very short- just passing through, but would definitely stay there again

Nothing really although my stay was short and possibly not long enough to tell

We really enjoyed our time here. Hotel is only a 10 minute walk from the train station. All very tranquil with a lovely ambiance. Only a short walk into town where there are quite a few bars and restaurants to choose from. Breakfast was lovely and all the staff were very friendly. The room was great too. Tavira is well worth a visit if you’re visiting the Algarve.

The history and location were nice. The room was clean and nice but we had a broken window and phone. The front desk person was very nice and offered us a different room but it did not have a window to open since it was handicap room. We were too hot to not have a window. So we had to have the swing window open all the way and it was still hot. I didn’t sleep well because of that. It was early March so just keep that in mind if you find yourself to run hot know that AC does not work this time of year as they have a central unit inside of individual. Otherwise very nice place with onsite parking. We had a good dinner here as well.staff was very nice.

No AC possible in March. Many hotels have individual units to allow for this. Just something to keep in mind if you run hot.

Love the location and the historic nature of the entire building and area. Just beautiful! We were upgraded to a suite with 2 rooms. It was by far the largest accommodations we had on our entire trip to Portugal and Spain. The front desk staff was fantastic- friendly and helpful. They gave us excellent recommendations for local activities and restaurants! Lovely pool area!

I wasn’t overly impressed with the breakfast. Although there was an extensive selection of food, it just wasn’t the quality that I expected. We ate breakfast out on the second day at a small French bakery with delicious coffee and croissants.

The location was excellent and the breakfast was very good.

The room was disappointing. While we were not expecting the nicest room, we were hoping for something a little nicer since it was our honeymoon. The room was not particularly comfortable- from the bed to a relative lack of AC (unless we left the windows open for air and mosquitoes). On our last morning, we had to catch an early train and were told we would be given a complimentary boxed meal. The gesture was nice but the food was so below the standards of the food served at breakfast - stale, sad sandwiches, a cookie as hard as a rock. We would have rather just gotten breakfast on the train, so it was a disappointing way to end to our stay.

Excellent breakfast in old cloister. Preservation of historical artifacts. Nice swimming pool.

Uneven service and attitude from front desk staff. Some excellent, some below expectations: Examples:1. Left room at 10:45am with sign for it to be made up, came back at 3:15 pm and it was not made up. Mentioned to front desk and reply was “we make up rooms until 9 pm,” before agreeing to call house keeping. 2. Note in bathroom says to request vanity items, including dental kit. Asked for toothpaste, none available at front desk, told it would be sent to room. Never came. 3. Cut my foot on bathtub stopper (middle of tub has non-slip material, stepped toward the front and slipped forward. Mentioned to manager, who offered sympathy and said they could provide bandaids. Next day asked for extra bandaids and another person started to give me directions to the pharmacy. When I said I had gotten some before, she said we don’t have many before begrudgingly opening the first aid kit.
