Breakfast very good with a varied selection. Room comfortable and spacious and a nice, small balcony with a view. Restaurant fine but possibly could have offered a greater selection. Staff generally very pleasant and attentive.

Tavira is nice, but the stones polished by decades of cars and foot traffic made the sloping sidewalks/roads feel almost treacherous. This is not the location to get away from freezing rain. Some of the old area in the east side is undergoing upgrades to the water system, which means it may be dusty.

Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists.
Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists. Few restaurants other than Indian food. Little shopping. Beaches nice but very difficult to access. Pararia do barrill involves street parking then walking a half mile to a train which will take you 1 mile to the beach for 2eu each way. Or you can walk on a slanted broken walkway all the way. At the beach there is one overpriced restaurant.
Overall Tavira is Not family friendly at all.

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
the history of this beautifully restored property! the rooms were beautifully appointed with the most comfortable bed and luxurious sheets we’ve slept in during our Portugal travels. our room , facing the back of the property had a private pool which was absolutely worth it! the breakfasts were decadent and the unique touch of fresh baked cake to self serve any time was wonderful. we were walking steps to everything in Tavira. The handwritten welcome note is a small example of why Colegio is a cut above !
The hotel is ideal for visiting Tavira; centrally located and surrounded by good restaurants with a short walking distance to the ferry that takes you to beautiful beaches. Miguel is a charming and helpful host who serves a lovely breakfast from a menu to order including fresh squeezed orange juice and local, fresh pastries! Comfortable bed and hot shower. Really nice rooftop deck/patio from which to relax in evening or enjoy coffee in morning!
What an oasis! One of the best stays I've had in Portugal to date, and I've been living here for 4 years! Such a peaceful space, with a spa-like quality. The forest really provides a sense of isolation, even though it's located in a more residential area, once you step in side, you are transported to a little getaway paradise. The breakfast was delicious, the bedding was comfortable, like a cloud, and the common spaces were clean and relaxing.
The staff were polite, friendly and very helpful. The hotel was very tranquil and peaceful which was great at the end of a month touring and walking Portugal and Spain. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We loved the view from our room, with the garden and the ocean in the background.
The rooftop area was a lovely place to sit with a book, have a drink, and enjoy the room (and the sun!)
This is a great traditional bed and breakfast hotel, located centrally within the old town. My room, on the first floor, had a lovely balcony, an interesting view onto the street, and much needed aircon. It was also close to cafes and good restaurants. I'd recommend Tavira as a great place to stay - it seems more genuinely Portuguese - than other places on the Algarve - something l really appreciated.
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.
Fabulous boutique hotel in central Tavira with restaurants, bars, ferry to beach etc all a few minutes away. Lovely traditional breakfast and staff extremely kind and helpful. Nothing was too much to ask - restaurant bookings, airport shuttle, timetables, etc. Would highly recommend as a very traditional, unique and endearing hotel.
The staff, especially Paulo, were great. The room was small, as expected, but had charm, especially the tiling in the bathroom. The location is perfect. The roof terrace was amazing with 360 degree views. Breakfast was good, beyond the norm in Portugal, with eggs, bacon, and freshly cooked pancakes if desired.
Best accommodation in Tavira Portugal or anywhere…very cleaning and very very quiet, Comfortable bed, modern interior, good location close to bus and train station. has Netflix, fast internet. We enjoyed the upstairs terrace, with privacy and a cool breeze.
Highly recommended.
second time staying here, this is one of the best hotels in tavira. somewhat a mix between budget and comfort. the views from the top floor where the bar is looks amazing, even for this time of the year. really liked my room except this time I didn't have a view at all...
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.
Very pretty, historical property. It was clean, comfortable with a nice bed. Bathroom was spacious and it had a nice little kitchen. It is the most spacious apartment we’ve had in Portugal. Staff is friendly and helpful. Plenty of free parking on premises.
I like the quirkiness of the hotel. The very friendly helpful staff. The good choice and quality of the breakfast. The location which is ideal for the centre of Tavira and all the cafe's, shops, nightlife etc and opposite the ferry to the island.
The people are so nice in Portugal, they love to help. I thought I was lost but wasn't, and asked for help, A lady spoke to my host in Portuguese and pointed to my apt, , just across the street, and the host was standing there waving his hand.
my family loved staying at this quiet, clean boutique hotel. the rooms were very comfortable and clean. the staff was very friendly. the breakfast buffet was excellent.
This was the best accommodation I stayed in while in Portugal it was immaculate with a great outdoor space and fantastic location it was very well looked after.
