Staff is super helpful and friendly and the place is amazing
Tavira is a little gem of a town. There are tons of things to see and explore. People are friendly, the food scene is beyond incredible and the city is completely walkable. If you're looking for a small, quite, charming town then Tavira is the place.

Tavira is a very relaxed and beautiful place to visit, the atmosphere was friendly and there were lots of restaurants for all budgets. We were there at the end of April and the temperature was ideal for us, in the low twenties. The beaches were easy to get to and huge so even in high season I think they would be fine. You are a short train ride from Faro and there are other lovely villages nearby to visit. Plenty of walks and bike tracks for the more active mostly all on the flat so not too energetic! This is a resort for couples and families rather than those looking for lively night life but for us that was a positive!

Tavira is definitely one of the most picturesque and unspoilt towns in the Algarve. So far, it has escaped the mass building of apartments that now plague other places. But, unless you have a car, I'd recommend staying in the centre! Local transport is not very convenient, though trains to other towns are good. There's lots going on, though perhaps more geared towards adults than youngsters! Plenty of restaurants and cafés and the Clube de Tavira is a good spot for some local jazz on a Thursday. Bear in mind it's not directly on the coast - you need to take ferries to the islands nearby, but that's fun if the weather's good. Not so much if it's wet and windy 🙄. Bike rental is another good option. Another plus is being so near Spain - a trip to Seville is only a couple of hours away! My tip - if you're not with a car, don't stay on the outskirts, unless you just want to be by the pool all day! It's a long and boring walk into town! Do visit the little olive producer just out of town. At time of my visit, nearly the whole town was undergoing roadworks which meant half the streets were closed to traffic and all the cobbles and paving were up, making for dusty and uneven surfaces. Just beware!

Nice town in a very concise area.
Nice town in a very concise area. Catching boat from the downtown dock is better value for the trip to visit the beautiful "Ilha de Tavira Beach" (Tavira Island Beach), worth spending time there. Don't drive into the city, either walk or catch a Uber. Too much traffic and the endless road construction works mess everything out. Look it up on Google before you head that way as there are many more activities you can enjoy.

We stayed for one week but really could have stayed longer, but a week was enough for us to feel relaxed,enjoy the beach and the surrounding areas. Tavira is a pretty historic town with lots of amenities , great restaurants, bars and cafes with tourists but not tacky! and lots of day trips available. It’s a great walking and cycling area And the beach is truly magnificent. .

Tavira will typically draw those, who seek the architecture, history - it's idyllic and peacefull setting; and the beach second. Tavira has a trainstation,, so you are free to come and go without the hassle of traffic and foreign signs. This town will not attract the crowds who seek the plastic pleasures of Albufeira.
Tavira House is an elegant, European style hotel. Centrally located in old part of Tavira on south bank of the river. Excellent breakfasts. The host, Filomena Diaz, made our stay special. She and her helper, also named Filomena, are perfectly attuned to their guests needs and wishes, helpful in every way. We became good friends with other guests we met there, and look forward to returning. We had a rental car and found Tavira House to be a wonderful base of operations for our five days exploring Tavira and the rest of the Algarve.
For the location and views alone, it would be hard to beat Residencial Mares. Directly opposite the ferry service to Tavira beach and with some of the best restaurants all within less than 5 mins walk. The view from our river view room was remarkable and the staff could not have done more to welcome us and make our week in Tavira so special. Our room and the hotel itself is characterful and the decor whilst not modern is very clean, we slept very well in the large bed with no noise. Excellent value for money
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 !
This hotel is a great location, it’s less than a 10 min drive to Tavira but feels like you are in your own world. The setting is beautiful and tranquil.
The rooms are beautifully decorated, the staff are friendly, welcoming and will do anything to help. They are knowledgeable about the area and go out of their way to help with any questions and requests.
The breakfast is yummy with a wide variety of choice.
Overall the most perfect accommodation!
Lovely hotel. Staff kind and helpful. Room had a refrigerator and good wall A/C unit. Gorgeous view out on balcony of pool and resort with a distant ocean view. Breakfast was great. Plenty of fresh fruit, coffee, omelettes, cheese (especially the brie), breads and more. Nice staff there. Location was great. We walked everywhere in Tavira from there, and we were close to the road to go to other towns without having to drive in the tiny curving streets.
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!
This is a real gem in the Algarve! We definitely enjoyed it and would come back in the future! From concept to execution, everything is just top notch! Nicely decorated, little touches everywhere (water with various herbs provided, tea and fresh fruits, not to mention the outstanding breakfast), great staff service. Sure, this is not your average 4* hotel because it's actually much better than a hotel.
A family run small hotel with personal service. the town has grown up around the Quinta but once inside the gates you can relax and enjoy the grounds, the small pool and the tennis court. the breakfast is substantial.
it’s a leisurely modestly downhill walk to the center of tavira and the Roman bridge. a very good restaurant that they recommended Avenida is an easy five minutes away.
The location is great, right across the street from the river and the ferries to the beach. Tavira is nice in that you are not a long walk from the town center and restaurants on the other side of the river. Room was comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast was good, with the usual selection of pastries, meats and cheese, plus eggs and bacon.
Loved this property, wonderful friendly helpful staff who sorted a great afternoon boat trip followed by meal on island . At the hotel, delicious surprise evening meals and best hotel breakfast ever tasted . Rooms beautifully appointed and decorated and live singing on roof top terrace meant perfect end to wonderful days .
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...
Exceptionally clean, simple and quiet accommodations. Brother and sister team handling front desk were very, very kind. Highly recommend. Brother is an Architect and sister an Attorney so very good contacts should you be considering a move to Portugal!
The swimming pool is great, the restaurant serves good food. It's also very convenient that you can book a shuttle to take you to the quay from where the fishermen boats leave to take you to the beach. The hotel also provides voucher for the boats.
Very nice hotel and big rooms. The Hotel is modern, clean and the staff very polite.
Breakfast is a good selection of everything.
We really enjoyed it.
Unfortunately we spent only one night in Tavira.
Friendly welcome clean and comfortable
Family owned but the gem is the staff
Excellent breakfast and great value for money
I live in Portugal and will definitely stay there again when am
In Tavira
the bones are beautiful but they have not decorated or added luxury to elevate it beyond an old hotel. breakfast was nice. staff very helpful. good location.
Lovely breakfast! Best we had during our trip in Portugal. And the place is so quite and rustic! It's walkable to the centre but feels like the countryside.
