Excellent hotel with great staff. The only downside was the over-priced and not very good restaurant.... we would have chosen to dine elsewhere except for the rain.

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.

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!

Historical luxury….

Beautifully restored monastery. Was a delight to stay and explore the building and its surroundings. Our room was a good size, very comfortable and had all the amenities we required. Evening meal was very enjoyable and good value. Good choice at Breakfast. We will definitely use other Pousada hotels in the Algarve.
