Great location! Hotel was historic and staff was super kind and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing with a lot of options. Diner menu needs a bit of work and wine menu needs to be updated but still a great place to stay!

The convent is on the top of the hill next to the castle. We enjoyed staying in a place with such history. Tavira is a quiet town, we enjoyed walking along the river.

Beautiful hotel with outstanding service

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It was our first stay at a Pousada and it will definitely not be our last. We were given an upgrade to a suite on arrival which made our stay even better. The staff are all very friendly and efficient - first class level of service.
