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.

Beautiful location with spotless rooms. Very friendly staff who go over and above to help out. Absolutely fabulous breakfast! Dinner also delicious and bar snacks good. Swimming pool not heated in May but swimmable if brave and on the hot days we were there. Quieter hotel, calm and relaxing, not for wild parties. Bring good, grippy walking shoes—top of hill, lots of slippy cobbles! Forget your heels unless using Uber/taxis everywhere (very good, inexpensive service in the town).
Hotel Rural Quinta do Marco - Nature & Dining is located in Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo by Algarve’s Caldeirão Ridge and offers far-reaching views of the Atlantic Ocean.

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

We've become familiar with Tavira after several visits over recent years. It is a lovely understated destination as a living, breathing 365 days a year town. Not at all touristy, though popular and busy, it's a great base for a sunshine and beach holiday as well as easy access to Spain and onwards. A wide spread of bars and restaurants gives plenty of choice for evening entertainment, and all within short walking distance.
beautiful little hotel with a great swimming pool, many chill out areas and an overall relaxed atmosphere. every room is perfectly clean. amazing breakfast with plenty of fruits, egg variations and sweets. Geraldine is a wonderful and very humorous host! her tips on restaurants, beaches and activities were on point. quiet surroundings while very close to Tavira. we liked it so much that we stayed longer than planned.
The staff were polite, friendly and very helpful. The hotel was very tranquil and peaceful which was great at the end of a month touring and walking Portugal and Spain. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We loved the view from our room, with the garden and the ocean in the background.
The rooftop area was a lovely place to sit with a book, have a drink, and enjoy the room (and the sun!)
Beautiful hotel in the center of Tavira. This place was just as nice as we expected. I booked it mainly because of the amazing rooftop pool area but actually the whole hotel was very stylish and new. The rooms are spacious and have very stylish decor. All in all the room was perfect and the rooftop a big bonus to spend some relaxing time in the afternoon.
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.
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.
Friendly staff and efficient check-in. Lovely room, good size. Quiet with blackout curtains. Balcony and fridge. Beds clean and comfy. Kettle and tea bags in room (unusual for Portugal), but no milk supplied. Large bathroom with walk in shower.
Breakfast 7.30-10.30 - good selection of hot and cold food.
The property and it’s staff are too notch. The meals and beverages were delicious, the pool beautiful and refreshing! The hotel backs up to a private beach which was a delight and a great surprise…there is a ferry at this beach to bring guests across to the full beach on the open ocean.
Very pretty, historical property. It was clean, comfortable with a nice bed. Bathroom was spacious and it had a nice little kitchen. It is the most spacious apartment we’ve had in Portugal. Staff is friendly and helpful. Plenty of free parking on premises.
love this hotel/hostel. wish there were more of them. great location in Tavira - on the river. lots of information and responsiveness from the staff. clean rooms. comfortable beds. great view and a great terrace with great views of the river. truly great!
The location was very centrally located near Tavira and the outdoor pool was nice with a comfortable, shaded patio area adjacent. The breakfast buffet had a very good, extensive selection which is par-for-the-course at most Portuguese hotels.
Lovely, comfortable and nicely decorated place. Everything is carefully thought-out and designed with taste. The hosts are gentle, warm and welcoming. More than recommended, Tavira Inn is quite above the other accomodations in Portugal.
We were traveling from Spain to Portugal and stayed overnight here and were delighted! Such friendly service, a beautiful and relaxed place with very comfortable rooms and an excellent atmosphere place to unwind. Highly recommendable!!
Lovely apartment, kitchen had everything you needed to cook a few meals and in a good location for a stroll to the town (15 min walk ) and train station just down the road, would certainly go there again if visiting Portugal.
Excellent breakfast selection and staff very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Hotel within a short walking distance of local restaurants and amenities. Tavira is a good base from which to explore the Eastern Algarve.
Older hotel located on the river. Rooms were small but adequate. Many restaurants, shops and attractions within a 10 minute walk. The ferry terminal to Tavira Island is located in front of the hotel.
Tavira is a very charming town. The location of the hotel is excellent and a quick walk to the center. The breakfast was fairly good. This hotel is not as rich in decor as others in the group
We liked the location. However when you read the reviews please read Sebastio's rude responses to those who score his hotel 8 or less. It shows all you need to know.
Rustic Portugal construction. Beautiful grounds pool tennis court. Nice staff, exceptional. If you are looking for an experience you have it here. Very clean
