The staff were amazing! Super friendly and attentive throughout the resort, the entertainment staff are fantastic - Noah still misses his "amigos". The rooms are clean and comfortable. Dining at the hotel was a delightful experience with diverse and delicious options. I’m confident your stay will exceed expectations and provide memorable moments.

We really enjoyed the overall experience and Luis was wonderful when we checked in. The room was clean and had a comfortable bed with a balcony which was nice to be able to sit out in the morning and evening. The acceptance of our dog was great and she had ample space to walk in the grounds area.

A lovely town with great restaurants and bars, shops and some lovely old buildings. Good public transport links - train, bus and boat - to nearby towns, villages and beaches. It can be busy, but it has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Tavira is nice, but the stones polished by decades of cars and foot traffic made the sloping sidewalks/roads feel almost treacherous. This is not the location to get away from freezing rain. Some of the old area in the east side is undergoing upgrades to the water system, which means it may be dusty.

Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists.
Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists. Few restaurants other than Indian food. Little shopping. Beaches nice but very difficult to access. Pararia do barrill involves street parking then walking a half mile to a train which will take you 1 mile to the beach for 2eu each way. Or you can walk on a slanted broken walkway all the way. At the beach there is one overpriced restaurant.
Overall Tavira is Not family friendly at all.

We are scoping out retirement options so were looking for walkability and reliable public transportation. Tavira offers both! Local market is full of fresh meat, fish, fruits and vegetables along with wares such as baskets and cut flowers. Lots of restaurants and shops. Walking distance to train which we took to the eastern border then hopped a ferry to Spain for lunch. We opted out of the hotel breakfast and found a cafe across the river for coffee and avocado toast one day, another day we went to the Pingo Doce grocery store for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. We tried a different restaurant for dinner every night and every meal was fantastic. If we had to do it over again, we would not have rented a car. The metro, train and bus system is reliable and comfortable as well as much cheaper and less stressful.

Loved the Friendliness in this nice quaint old town, unfortunately the roads / streets were in process of being dug up & left rather unsafe ( we witnessed a lady falling).. lots of cobbled streets which were left unfinished. Hopefully they will complete soon for travellers & residents to enjoy this lovely town.

Tavira is full of character and has an obvious love of its history and heritage. It offers the opportunity to have a beach holiday without it being forced upon you. Wander down all the back streets and find new places.
We mostly self-catered but there are many restaurants with differing cuisines. Take a punt - it will probably pay off. If you like octopus take a trip to Santa Luzia just 3km away. It is a charming fishing port and the octopus catching centre of Portugal
Quinta Almargem Lusitano was very beautiful place to rest. The host and her husband made us feel like part of the family. Impeccably clean and the food was better then we received in many restaurants! Fresh juices each morning from their own grown fruit trees. Fresh egg from the chicken on their farm. A relaxing environment to rest, pool to swim and 5 minute drive to the center of Tavira! The beaches on the strand are very comfortable and renting chase lounges w/ sun shields out of Barrell wee great!
Before arriving I got a big Emil about their rules. Little posters everywhere about rules. It felt like I was in Germany and not Portugal. Bathroom a bit tight but was fine for a few days. Bonus huge rooftop patio and kitchen. You have to pay for coffee but kitchen stocked with beer and such to pay for. Good convenience. Room could be a bit noisy when other guests open the doors or talk when entering. Location is in the middle of the action!
We loved the warmth and hospitality at Azul Sul, Jose welcomed us and explained everything we needed to know over a glass of really nice wine. He gave us very good recommendations in Tavira and Portugal in general. The guest house is very well designed and clean. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and a great place to get some sunshine and enjoy a drink!
At Azul Sul, you'll have definitely have a good time!
We visited Portugal for 35 days and drove around the country. This was the best accommodation of our trip. Nuno left fruit, water, fruit juice, and many other items for us (what a surprise). No one else came close to him. He is special if you want to visit Tavira and the surrounding areas. We stayed for three nights. This was the largest apartment we stayed in, with two bedrooms.
This is a compact and well-equipped place benefiting from some private outside space.
The hosts were attentive and friendly.
The location was convenient and local parking was free.
Tavira is a pleasant base from which to explore the lovey Eastern Algarve
We felt we were in authentic Portugal not just some tourist development based in Portugal.
Everything. This place was absolutely perfect. It is a very relaxing location, but also close to great beaches and Tavira. The rooms are very comfortable and well decorated, not to mention clean. Excellent breakfast (especially the orange juice), and last but not least, a very professional and kind staff. This was one of the best stays I ever had.
Location was superb. In the middle of Tavira, which is a beautiful city to walk in. Hosts were great. Helped w bags. Room was perfect. Restaurant downstairs (same owner) was wonderful. Best steak in years (ribeye). Great staff. Lovely outdoor dining. Lots of other places to try in town, but this one “O Castelo”, was the best.
The location is at the heart of the city with easy access to the beach ferry and the wonderful beach. My wife and I attended Mass at a church very close to the hotel. It’s a great family destination and the ferry ride is nice with many variety of shore birds. Many young families at night enjoying the music and dancing.
The staff, especially Paulo, were great. The room was small, as expected, but had charm, especially the tiling in the bathroom. The location is perfect. The roof terrace was amazing with 360 degree views. Breakfast was good, beyond the norm in Portugal, with eggs, bacon, and freshly cooked pancakes if desired.
Jose was truly the best host. He has such pride in his transformed family property. His love for his role and attention to detail is unmatched. The property is beautiful, centrally located and has everything you need. Super easy to park your car. It is a must book if you stay in Tavira.
Perfect hotel for a short stay in Tavira; just minutes away from all the life in town as well as to the ferry to Tavira beach. The room was clean, bed was comfy and the price very competitive. Would definitely stay again on a next short trip to Tavira.
The hotel was very close to the center of the town, restaurants and ferry to the beach island.
We had a standard room with view over the town and it suited us well.
Very tasty fresh oranges were served at breakfast.
Love the location, authenticity (you feel like you are in Portugal) and ambience. All staff are very helpful & friendly. Good that you can hire beach towels. Breakfast is excellent with a good variety.
The quality of the food and the size of the rooms was excellent. Staff so friendly - as was everyone in the Algarve. Would highly recommend this hotel. Tavira is also a lovely town.
my family loved staying at this quiet, clean boutique hotel. the rooms were very comfortable and clean. the staff was very friendly. the breakfast buffet was excellent.
