A lovely few days in July. Room Was clean and staff were very nice and helpful. Setting is beautiful and as an historic building, it’s original renovation was good. Looking tired in parts and could do with a bit of a refresh but nevertheless none of that detracted from a lovely few days and I would definitely return.

Perfect if in a different room.
The building was beautiful. Our room was in a newer building and had a peculiar smell - originally a very strong smell of disinfectant ( a public indoor pool type smell) All other aspects of the hotel were excellent, breakfast was good. Communal areas were lovely. Perfectly situated. Helpful staff.

Convenient and peaceful place to stay
Pousada Convento is located a short walk from everything you'll want to see in the area. They have off-street parking which is fantastic, and you can walk everywhere. Their courtyard is lovely, and the pool area is beautiful (too cold to enjoy).

Distinctive and characterful hotel
A beautiful hotel in the historic centre of Tavira, and right beside the castle. It’s a 5 minute walk from the bus station. The former convent has been beautifully restored, and the rooms are very comfortable.. Breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. There’s a landscaped swimming pool area, and a lovely central courtyard for relaxation. It’s one of the most elegant hotels I have stayed in.
