Pousada Convento Tavira in Tavira, open May–August.
Pousada Convento Tavira occupies a former 16th-century convent in the medieval town of Tavira, meticulously restored to honor its ecclesiastical heritage while offering modern hospitality.
The stone structure, originally built as a religious sanctuary, now welcomes celebrations within its historic walls and contemporary facilities.
This conversion preserves original architectural elements including arched cloister walkways and period details throughout the 36-room property.
We spent two nights here and had a wonderful stay. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly throughout our visit. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. While the room itself was on the smaller side, it featured a lovely private patio/veranda. Breakfast each morning was excellent, with plenty of fresh and tasty options. We also dined in the restaurant on both evenings and were very impressed with the quality of the food and service. Overall, a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend.
