Pros:

We loved the restoration of the old existing structure alongside the stunning extension to the rear. From entering the hotel there is a true welcoming check in.
The decor is exquisite and provides a serene ambience.
Staff are very helpful and respectful to all our requests.
The gardens and the pot plants throughout the exterior of the hotel are calming to the mind. The therapist Christina in the wellness centre was excellent and provided me with a very positive experience at the Luma Wellness Centre.
The housekeeping staff were very attentive and our room and terrace were immaculately clean to a high standard.
We loved the pool/beach bag provided and the coffee maker in the room.
Breakfast was to a high standard and we loved the menu options served to the table.
We loved the food in the restaurant,its presentation and the staff and manager’s attentiveness during our dining experience.

Pros:

Our stay at Palacio de Tavira was just amazing. This property is in our opinion the most beautiful building of the town. It is facing a charming public place with restaurants and a church. We recommend to book a room from the historical part of the building. The breakfast is delicious as a combination of buffet and a la carte. The staff is so helpful: we loved the touch of having every the hôtel beach bag with towels !

Pros:

Very lovely hotel! Location was perfect for walking around Tavira. Room was lovely and clean and they even provided beach towels and a beach tote. Only small issue was my room was closer to the main stairs so there was quite a bit of hallway noise that you could hear from the room.

Pros:

No complaints about this property.
The restaurant for breakfast and dinner were brilliant. The location is perfect for walking Tavira. The room had a strange layout with some wasted space, but I imagine it made sense in the old days when that building was built. Maybe the kept their goat in that space!?
Our room was on the third floor in the elevator only went up to two!!!
