Staff made us a really nice surprise with a birthday cake and a Prosecco bottle left in our room for my boyfriend’s birthday. The room was very comfortable and spacious with a nice balcony. The breakfast was really good with good variety and some vegan/gluten free options (bread/milk/dairy). There is a nice swimming pool and 1 Padel court (this one needs a bit of care/maintenance).

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.

Tavira is a city with very interesting architecture. It's crossed by a river that gives it a certain romantic flavour. It has some very interesting beaches nearby, with sand as far as the eye can see and good water quality.

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.

Tavira is a little gem of a town.
Tavira is a little gem of a town. There are tons of things to see and explore. People are friendly, the food scene is beyond incredible and the city is completely walkable. If you're looking for a small, quite, charming town then Tavira is the place.
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.
For the location and views alone, it would be hard to beat Residencial Mares. Directly opposite the ferry service to Tavira beach and with some of the best restaurants all within less than 5 mins walk. The view from our river view room was remarkable and the staff could not have done more to welcome us and make our week in Tavira so special. Our room and the hotel itself is characterful and the decor whilst not modern is very clean, we slept very well in the large bed with no noise. Excellent value for money
Stunning hotel , best location as in a cute square surrounded by lovely restaurants and cafes within a 1 minute walk from Roman bridge and centre of Tavira. Beautifully presented rooms and stylish ,artfully presented breakfasts with delicious baking / cooking and service, tranquil yet friendly.Every single team member went out of their way to be thoughtful , friendly and considerate- really top level .Run to book here, it’s truly an oasis of quality and style. Plan to return 🌻
Well equipped kitchen, good shower, the location cannot be better, comfortable beds, quiet and efficient air conditioning. We like to have breakfasts on the rooftop terrace with a view of the sunrise, river, Roman bridge and old town. There are trays in the kitchen to take the breakfast to the roof. Also terrace is good for drying the cloves. Free parking lot is 400 m up river. Hotel is close to many good restaurants and to the beach ferry. The mangers are friendly and helpful.
The staff is wonderful! They are always ready to give indications, take care of any last minute request.
Really loved these ladies. The one on the night shift is especially kind.
The hotel is close to the river and port, so it's a short walk to catch the boat to Tavira Island.
There is a big supermarket close to the hotel, which revealed to be a bonus.
The "movida" of Tavira is close to the hotel, like walking distance close.
Tavira House is a hidden gem in the picturesque town of Tavira. It is in a residential neighborhood yet very close to the riverfront, restaurants and sights. Our hostess Maria was engaging, helpful and friendly, in fact, she was the best hotelier we encountered on our 19 day trip to Portugal. Breakfast was delicious and abundant, so much more than a continental breakfast. It kept us full till dinner time.
Fabulous hotel in very relaxing surroundings.
Great shuttle bus into Tavira centre available Wednesday through Sunday.
They will provide you with fresh towels daily for taking to the beach 🏖️
Waiting staff are so friendly and helpful.
The hotel gave us a number for the local water taxi it's the nicest way to travel and you can be collected from the hotel's private jetty.
This small hotel is lovely. The breakfast was delicious and the breakfast room has a beautiful view over Tavira. The staff were extrememly accommodating and friendly. Two rooms have balconies and two rooms have terraces. If these are important features for you, I would call the hotel directly to ensure you have the type of room you want.
Away from the main drag but very close to everything (especially an excellent restaurant round the corner). The ferry to the island beaches is near. No need to have a car if all you want to do is go to the beach.
Very nice staff. This is a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel but it a good place to stay in the centre of Tavira.
Hotel is in a great location, close to Tavira town, easy to get ferry across to the beautiful island, walking distance to bus station. Staff are super friendly, welcoming and helpful, hotel itself is beautiful with a lovely pool and grounds. Breakfast was plentiful, great choices, attention by Chef at all times.
The location for this hotel is amazing, right next to Ria Formosa. You can get a ferry near the hotel and cross to the beach. The view is also amazing.
The hotel was built on what used to be a fishing village, and some of the buildings have been restored, and there's a museum. A charming experience.
My family and I were on a whirlwind tour of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco and Pousada Convento de Tavira was a place that everyone wanted to go back to. We wish we had spent longer and the staff is above and beyond kind. And the breakfast and pool were outstanding.
It's amazingly comfortable for how small it is (we are a family of 5). The outside area makes the difference, it's really pleasant at night and early morning, with it's nice mango and avocado trees. The location is great to explore the coast of Algarve near Tavira.
love this hotel/hostel. wish there were more of them. great location in Tavira - on the river. lots of information and responsiveness from the staff. clean rooms. comfortable beds. great view and a great terrace with great views of the river. truly great!
The location was perfect - a quiet area, yet very close to the livelier parts of Tavira. The boat for the Ilha do Tavira (wonderful beach!) was just in front of the hotel, making it more than ideal for summer visits!
Love this hotel, staff amazing, roof top bar a luxury after a day at the beach, breakfast always good. Piano player is a bonus. Been here several times. Will always return.
Cosy and clean. Host is very helpful. In fact, Jose was one of the highlights of our visit to the Algarve. He is so positive about Tavira and the local region.
