Gorgeous tranquil stay in heart of Tavira
Pros:

A beautiful convent with ccool thick walls, gorgeous historic features and just a very stylish aesthetic. The location is amazing for exploring Tavira and everything is on your door step.

The reception staff is so very kind and helpful. Truly remarkable friendliness. Beds were very comfortable as were the rooms. Wonderful breakfast. The pool is a dream, clean and beautiful.

We love that there is no music, no noise, no nothing. Just relaxation. People were reading and speaking in low voices; we appreciate that so much. There are some families (we had an 11 year old child with us too) but everyone behaved in a civilised manner. I hope people who come to play music, have loud phone calls or play loud games don’t come to ruin it here as it’s just perfect. Also no rush for loungers, the hotel is smaller scale and there are enough. Truly restful and pretty.

Breakfast was great. We’d love to come again sometime.

Cons:

Nothing - weak wifi but not a big issue

La suggestione di un antico convento
Pros:

Sicuramente l’atmosfera del vecchio monastero è ben conservata nei dettagli della ristrutturazione, la camera ampia, il letto comodissimo. Ottima la colazione. Buona anche la posizione, tranquilla e praticamente in centro

Cons:

Mi ha deluso la piscina, pochi lettini, molto affollamento, dimensioni ridotte.

Meraviglioso…
Pros:

Tutto…un posto incredibile. Non ho mai dormito così bene. Si respira una pace e una energia meravigliose. Lo staff gentilissimo e le camere ottime. Mi è solo dispiaciuto di averci dormito solo una notte

Die Unterkunft ist eine Oase in Tavira.
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist eine Oase in Tavira. Ob sich ein Besuch in Tavira lohnt, wird wohl unterschiedlich beurteilt, aber wenn dann ist dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Sehr freundlich, sehr sauber und ein guter Komfort. Auch die Gartenanlage und der Pool sind sehr schön.

Cons:

Das einzige, was ich dazu sagen kann, ist, dass mir beim Frühstück die ungesalzene Butter gefehlt hat.

Pros:

Skvělí číšníci a celý personál. Jídlo nad očekávání, prostě famózní. Snídaně úžasné a dostatek všeho. Nesmím opomenout bazén kde byl klid a velká pohoda. Dokonce číšník přinesl pití a víno. Kousek do centra. Prostě doporučuji
