Tavira hotels

Pros: Wonderful place. Wonderful location if you have car. Excellent breakfast. Lots of space.

Pros: We had eight days at this lovely guesthouse. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The room was clean, new and with an impressive private terrace area. Breakfast was always fresh and nice. The two resident animals (cat and dog) are charming additions to a really lovely stay. Thought for ages about a downside and all we could only come up with 'it would be nice to have a kettle in the room' but that's it. Utterly charming holiday spot.

Pros: The property was beautiful and immaculately maintained. The gardens, courtyard, and just the overall vibe was wonderful. The breakfast is very well put together with many options. It goes well beyond the ol' bread and cereal standard breakfast. There was fresh fruit, breads, cheeses, meats, yogurts, cereals, scrambled eggs, cakes, fresh juices, and more... all in a very inviting breakfast room. Every detail is considered. The property is very relaxing, as we enjoyed some down time around the pool and property at times. The hosts mother was very kind and always helpful (the daughter / host was away while we visited). We enjoyed the pets on the property also. Also, a shoutout to the kind woman who helped with breakfasts in the morning. She was very friendly and warm, which was very much appreciated. In terms of our room, it was very well appointed. It was an ideal size with a big bathroom (which was a welcome sight after traveling for a couple weeks through Europe). It was very clean and smelled very nice. Lastly, they were very kind to put together a breakfast and leave it in a small fridge for us for the morning of our departure, as we left very early to make the drive to Lisbon for our return flight. Details and kindness like this made our stay very enjoyable!

Cons: The property is an oasis, no doubt. The only minor thing that some may want to consider, the property itself is just on the outskirts of Tavira. It is very close, maybe 8-10 minute drive to a parking lot on the edge of Tavira. This wasn't a big issue for us. However, there were evenings we didn't feel up for taking the car into town, finding a parking spot, and then walking into town to find dinner. We did utilize the market down the street to take some goods back to the room. Though, we had limited options with no kitchenette or means of warming something up. Again, this wasn't a "dislike" per say; however, something to share in case others prefer to have easier means of walking to food or having it easily available where they are staying. Lastly, small detail, but the breakfast window is narrow - 8:30 to 10:00. It seemed to start a bit late to us, especially for days we were planning on getting an early start to go exploring in farther beaches or towns along the Algarve. These are both small details, as neither deterred from our overall enjoyment staying at this property. We would recommend Quinta Almargem Lusitano.

Pros: Beautiful a little paradis in Portugal. The staff and owners are very friendly and very helpful . Great tips for getting around and restaurant. The breakfast excellent. Will come back here .

Pros: Everything, down to the smallest loving touches. A rural feel just a very short distance from the town center. Lina and her husband took excellent care of us on our short stay and made us feel so welcome. Greeted with fresh juice from their orchard and the best breakfast on our trip the next morning. Megan and Vladimir (that’s us)will be back! ...and we’ll recommend to our friends to stay here.

Pros: Perfect for those looking peace and silence in beautiful countryside surroundings. You are surrounded by orange groves. You can rent free bikes from hotel to cycle to Cabanas de Tavira (7min cycle) or even around orange groves. Delicious breakfast full of local and homemade produce (jams and cakes, fresh orange juice). Pretty swimming pool (did not swim as it was too cold in October but sunbathed by it). 10 min drive from Tavira where you can get ferry to Isla de Tavira (stunning long beaches).

Cons:

Pros: Very friendly owner. Great location. Comfy bed. Rustic feel

Pros: The Rustic Style, privacy. Very beautiful decoration.

Cons: The duplex only had one heater and was very cold in November, no additional blankets also did not help. Gate very difficult to open. The internet was not wireless and the cable was to short to allow the use of the pc comfortably. But I would recommend as these issues can be solved easily.

Pros: Great reception on arrival, we were offered drinks. Car parking was in the very narrow street outside but it was fine. The room was very good just off the reception area.

The staff were all extremely helpful and had a host of insider knowledge to help us make the most of our visit to this beautiful region of Portugal. Would highly recommend.

Cons: Loved everything about the property. The only downside is that due to its peaceful location, it is accessed by narrow winding roads. A little unnerving if you haven't driven a left hand drive car for a while.

Pros: Charming place and friendly staff ! Bfast was good:) Swimming pool area is very relaxing.

Pros: Very nice breakfast.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The staff were fabulous - very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was excellent

Pros: Fantastic staff at the reception

Pros: Fantastic location close to the centre of town, in a beautiful old building. Rooms were a good size and the staff were friendly and helpful

Cons: The mattress in our room was poor quality and uncomfortable, you could literally feel big springs moving around and digging into your back - found this strange as the rest of the room and the hotel was furnished very nicely. Also the food in the hotel restaurant wasn't great and a bit overpriced, there are better restaurant options in town

Pros: Stayed with 6 cycling mates for a cycling week end. Staff was very accommodating, looking after the bikes in the evening, getting them out in the morning. Excellent hotel with super helpful staff right in the centre of Tavira.

Cons: Nothing, all good

Pros: Beautifully restored Convent with arched inner courtyard, stone staircases, flagstone floors and spacious, comfortable bedroom. Pretty gardens and sleek, modern swimming pool. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Lovely Daniella on Reception made our stay so special.

Pros: Beautifully and comfortably restored facility. Appreciated being able to see the small archeological museum that is on the property.

Pros: Everything. Beautiful, atmospheric place, well-appointed, lovely staff and great location for exploring beautiful Tavira. Easy to get to by car and its own private parking. Didn't get to use the pool (November, after all) but looked inviting.

Cons: Neighbours' barking dogs heard from my lovely large front-facing room on arrival prompted me to ask for a change, which was done immediately and without a fuss to slightly smaller quiet room at the back.

Pros: Everything else. Very clean, very unique, good location, friendly owner.

Cons: No elevator especially for an adults only (potentially elder clientele) facility.

Pros: Great pool area for relaxing, fantastic view of bridge designed by Eiffel and Sebastian was a good host. Enjoyed balcony view over the river.

Pros: Very clean and neat. Owner very friendly. Room had great balcony and view of river and town. Decor of hotel very unique and artistic. Although near train track, it was barely noticeable. We would definitely stay again.

Cons: No breakfast included. We had to walk a little ways to get some coffee.

Pros: First, the owner, Sebastian could not be kinder or more interesting. Our room was very artistically decorated with bold colors and the owner’s own artwork. We enjoyed two very comfortable night’s sleep on the excellent mattress. There was plenty of storage for our short stay. We liked being close to the center of town and we especially enjoyed the lovely view of the river and the train trestle from our balcony. We were not disturbed by the trains, as they did not seem to run very late at night. Although no breakfast is offered the room has a refrigerator and hot pot so that worked very well for us. It was great being just around the trestle supports from an excellent restaurant where we enjoyed two dinners and one lunch. If we were earlier in the year, we could have used the absolutely beautiful pool and hot tub. The entire outdoor area is very relaxing with lush landscaping and nice patio areas.

Cons: For older guests with any mobility issues, like arthritic knees, the stairs are challenging. We made it work with Sebastian’s assistance. But, next time we would ask for a room on the lowest floor possible. Those younger guests who are okay carrying their suitcases up multiple flights would be fine.

Pros: Excellent location with just a short walk to the town centre. An oasis of green from the delightful garden. We enjoyed the pool.

Cons: Nothing. The railway was never a problem.

Pros: My recent stay at Casa do Rio was absolutely splendid in every way! The location was great, facing the river and just a few minutes stroll along the river into the heart of town. My room with balcony, was spacious, immaculate, and delightfully decorated with the owner's own artwork. Sebastian, the hospitable, friendly inn owner/artist, is extremely accomodating and attentive. I adored this inn for its serentity and peacefulness, enhanced by a cooling salt water pool. The gardens surrounding the pool area and grounds are lush and so pretty. Thank you, Sebastian, for such a fabulous holiday!

Pros: A little piece of paradise set just outside a lovely Portuguese town....what more could you ask for? Tavira is a beautiful small town with some amazing places to eat. The beech is beautiful.....a short ferry ride away. But Casa do Rio was the cherry on top. Better than the beech, you could relax beside a beautiful pool, with only a few other (adult only) guests for company. It was so relaxing and peaceful, if you need some time to recharge your batteries this is the place for you. The only downside was a noisy train once an hour...but even that became a feature after a while...!

Cons: The location was a little remote and the bus didn’t run every day

Pros: Perfect for a family stay. Indoor pool is great and the breakfast is excellent.

Cons: The bar is closed most of the day.

Pros: Nicely renovated hotel located in a quiet area. We stayed in winter so it was pleasant. Nice spa. Good food on the menu of the restaurant. I imagine it must be crowded and different in the summer.

Cons: Breakfast quite basic; food didn't seem very local

Pros: The boat over to the island

Cons: Rooms not sound proof. Two disturbed nights out of three.... Not good.. Preferred the Maria Nova

Cons: Old and dated. More like a low end 3 star all inclusive in Cuba.

Pros: Location was excellent. Fab facilities. All staff were so pleasant and very helpful. Breakfast was buffet and was excellent. Property was very clean. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was very good.

Cons: Only a couple of minor things i noticed but they were not a problem for me. No tea/coffee in room. There was a mini bar but only water in it. There was a safe but you had to pay for its use.

Pros: The location was great for exploring the area. Buffet breakfast very good, even sparkling wine on offer!! Facilities great and staff very nice. Rooms good beds very comfortable. Pool area in and out v nice

Cons: Nothing decor a little dated but not tired. Just bar area and restaurant a little dark.

Pros: The location. Friendly staff, great breakfast and lovely spa area.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Room was clean and cleaning staff were very friendly as were the catering staff and front desk.

Cons: Spa staff were horribly rude. Everything costs extra - parking is not included, it’s an extra €7.50 a day, to use the safe is €2.50 and if you want to use the swimming pool you must use a swimming cap or they will sell you one for €4! You can’t use the pool without it and the spa staff will make sure you are made to feel incredibly stupid for not knowing this. Overall the hotel is fine but added costs just feel very underhanded and money grabbing.

Pros: Everything was accellent.

Pros: very clean

Cons: Bed mattress was excessively firm and furniture needs to be replaced

Pros: The place was great!

Cons: Could have done with clean towles each day.

Pros: I was delighted when we drove to our room. I have a disability and therefore not a great lover of stairs etc. But the room that we had - there was a ramp from the road to the foyer & lifts available if needed. The ground floor room we had was equipped / small kitchenette which was very handy as there was a supermarket at the entrance of these apartments. Also bonus only a short walk to the pool area which was stunning.

Cons: We only booked one night we could have stayed longer.

Pros: Everywhere was clean and tidy, the pool was nice and it was a good walk to town (about 2km) which was a good bit of exercise every day. Supermarket almost on the complex, which was really convenient for fresh bread every morning!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Short walk into The centre of Taviera, lovely clean, spacious rooms

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Staff provided exceptional service and always with a smile!

Pros: Restaurant

Cons: Parking and getting close car (because of roadworks)

Pros: Good place to stay in lovely Tavira. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff and a generous breakfast to start the day. Location is good, not exactly in the center, but an easy and pleasant walk there along the river. Very convenient for the boats to Ilha da Tavira. Didn’t have hot water one night, but mentioned if to the front desk and the problem was solved quickly. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Cons: Some minor maintenance issues, like a loose water faucet. Not sure about free parking - we paid to park our rental car for a couple hours before returning it.

Pros: The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was ok

Cons: Very unhelpful receptionist. I telephoned when we could not find the very complicated route round back streets to drive to the front of the hotel and unload our bags. (We are both almost 80). She became very snappy then said “just wait there. I’m coming”. Ten minutes later, I walked to the hotel and she was doing something on her computer .....not bothering to look up. When I asked her why she had not come to help us, she smirked, sighed and said “are you the woman I spoke to only 10 seconds ago”. The hotel is very tired and needs a better attitude from the staff to override it’s obvious disadvantages.

Pros: Great location, beautiful comfortable room. Loved the river view!

Cons: Stairs!

Pros: Good location

Cons: Steep steps

Pros: Perfect location near free parking. Check in was quick and easy. Room was cozy but was smaller than it appears in the photos. Breakfast was ample and good quality. The coffee machine they use for breakfast coffee was terrible so we still had to walk down the street for a real coffee. We also had a lovely dinner in the hotel restaurant

Cons: Just the coffee

Pros: Location

Cons: Beds were TERRIBLE!

Pros: We were upgraded to a villa with a view. This was wonderful. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We were given a complementary card for free use of the train to the beach. Also a card for the car park.

Cons: The tv was very small and only 7 portuguese channels. Would have liked a music channel.

Pros: Good rate, pet friendly and what we wanted.

Cons: Nothing really. It was very good for our purpose.

Pros: The Staff and location are superb. Victor, Bruno and Sofia made us feel very welcome in portugal, we have stayed here many times and standards are always high.

Pros: Value for money. Nice view and quiet.

Cons: The renovation of the studio is outdated. There are no power outlets next to your bed. Also no fohn and power outlet in the bathroom. Hard to get the studio warm.

Pros: Didn't have breakfast as it was expensive. Evening meal in restaurant exceeded all expectations. Slightly rural location which was fine for our needs.

Cons: Heating. Softer bed!

Pros: Very peaceful. Nice staff, very accomadating, we were upgraded and checked out later too.

Cons: Difficult to find accommodation, it should be colour coded.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing@
