Pousada Convento de Tavira
Portugal, Europe
Tavira
This excellent and luxurious “pousada” sits in a historical and interesting building that was erected on the sixteenth century and served as a convent. The property is conveniently positioned in the historical city centre, within easy reach from the main important sightseeing points of interest such as Santa Maria Church, a few steps away. Staying at this accommodation option will always be a great experience, as some of the bedrooms have been completely refurbished from cells, exuding a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. All of them offer modern amenities for a truly pleasant stay, including air-conditioning, wireless Internet connection to keep updated and a safe. During their stay, visitors may pamper themselves at the on-site facilities, with the possibility to rest at the spa with a massage and to taste mouth-watering local dishes of the Algarve region made with fresh produce.

Don’t come!
If you are thinking of coming here… DON’T. Major work at this hotel that they will not tell you about. We had the right to cancel and had we known about the work which has had a material impact on our stay, we would not have come. 50% of the facilities out of use. Hoardings within a metre of eating breakfast. No where nice to sit outside in the courtyard for a drink, a courtyard that the hotel sells a focal point. And their answer?.. a 15% discount. Shocking. An established business like this should advise guests in advance if disruptive work is planned and give the guest a choice to come or not. It’s how things are put right in this situation that matters and an insulting 15% discount is not good enough. Minor in the scheme of things but worth pointing out: hotel insisted on booking a great restaurant for us… we turned up at the restaurant and they hadn’t. Coffee machine in room broken. No proper ironing board to iron your clothes. Needless to say won’t return and won’t use the Pestana chain of hotels again.

Couldn't be better.....
Such luck to have discovered Pousada Convento Tavira. This magnificent historic building has been turned into such a wonderfully comfortable place to stay, it's a joy to be there. A big thank you to all the staff who made us feel so welcome. We can't wait to return!

Perfect stay
Pousada Convento Tavira met my expectations and then went far beyond. From the warm welcome from Alex to the beautiful spotless room and hotel full of history and charm. Our breakfast was included and was served in the dinning room in 5 star style. Eggs to order, on the last day I had an omelet with ham, cheese and onion and it was delicious. The pool area sits beside a castle wall. 3-5 minute walk to the roman bridge and downtown hub. We will absolutely stay here again without any hesitation.
