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: Casa Vale Del Rei is paradise. One of the most beautiful stays we have experienced. The hosts ensured our stay met and even exceeded our expectations. It is picture perfect, set in peaceful and tranquil garden settings where you can pass the time for the whole day. Breakfast is plentiful and first class - several courses and so much variety. The hosts, who live on the property, provided afternoon tea every day as well as tea and coffee being made available any time of the day at no cost. Everything is tastefully furnished and immaculately maintained, including living spaces, pool surrounds and gardens. We stayed in the separate cabin which was very private and stylish. The hosts were able to make several recommendations regarding local restaurants, trips and beaches to visit. A car is recommended for this location.

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.

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: 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

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@

Cons: Some kitchen utensils were missing or were broken

Pros: Nice peaceful relaxing location.... pleasant staff and close to everything I needed....

Cons: The plastic covers on the bed....

Pros: The apartment was nice and clean, well furnished and with big spaces. The position was absolutely great: 5 minutes from Fuseta and close both Faro and Tavira. The pool and the space around it was relaxing.

Cons: If it had some more services (a washer machine or a laundry, a little bar) it would get a 10.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Apartment was very spacious, 2 floors. It was imbeccably clean. There was a TV which included English speaking channels which was a bonus for us! Couch was comfy and there was decent kitchen utensils and facilities. The pool was clean and there were lots of sunbeds. The location is very much out in the country but we loved the peace and quiet of it however, we were still only 30 mins from Faro on the train. We would definitely go back again.

Cons: The only member of staff we ever seen was the cleaner. It's a small enough place and as it's all apartments it doesn't need much staff but maybe somebody at reception during the day would be good for answering questions.
