Praise is the outside. This is really fantastic. Beautiful garden to relax. Good breakfast.

Interior is poor. Of this we had more clearly expected, given the price. No phone and no Internet. That cannot be nowadays. Photo's on the website does not show that quinta is fully situated between apartment buildings. Many traffic noise

Highly recommended, and ideally situated - 10 mins walk from the old quarter of Tavira and minutes from the rail station. Staff very courteous and helpful, and whole facility very laid back and relaxing.

Complimentary water or drink on arrival as a suggestion.

The beautiful gardens and tranquil setting.

Inside the apartment was quite dark, it didn't have a private patio, and the swimming pool was tiny.

The staff were extremely kind and helpful. Our room was charming and the grounds were beautiful and serene. Location was good, within walking distance to town.

A bit far to walk to the beach, but with a car you can drive to the next town and walk to Barril, a wonderful (and local) beach / resort with many facilities and few people.

Beautiful suite, privacy, peace (but it was out of season).
Enjoyed walking to breakfast room in garden - lovely to look out at grass and trees as we ate. Log fire was a nice touch.
Close to train station and supermarket.

No coffee machine or kettle in kitchenette!
Having to put toilet paper in a bin instead of down toilet. (Probably septic system?)

The hotel was beautiful, the room was comfortable and characterful, set in a charming garden. Breakfasts were the best we had among the 4 hotels we stayed in. It was perfectly situated for driving or using public transport--only 15 minutes walk from the centre of town but very simple to drive to.

Fabulous place, relaxing retreat and perfect location. Would not stay anywhere else in Algarve.

For the price it would be great to include nice toiletries and maybe some bottled water and fruit on arrival.
