Authentic Tavira hotel is a lovely little hotel. Far enough from central Tavira to be quiet, but close enough for a tiny walk. I was surprised to learn it only has two stars, because it feels like more. Spacious, but cozy, rooms with working AC. Simple, but tasteful and filling breakfast. A nice roof patio with a small swimming pool to have an afternoon dip. And last, but not least, super friendly and accommodating staff.
