Location Location Location Best tourist location in

Enormous room with one of the best views of Tavira overlooking the river and the Roman bridge.

Less than 10mins walk from bus station, right in town centre. Terrace on the roof is perfect place to sit with a wine at sunset. Well priced

Everything was lovely. The staff was friendly, the room was comfortable and had an amazing view, the breakfast was nice - will absolutely stay here again on my next visit!

Second stay here but the first time we had a bigger room with a comfy bed. This time the bed wasn't comfortable. The situ is fantastic staff great no issues

Fantastic family suite overlooking the river. Clean and fresh with lots of space. Amazing outdoor terrace upstairs to eat on and relax with beautiful views. Good value accommodation. Many thanks for an amazing stay!

The location, terrace, private bathroom, natural light in the room, clean kitchen and friendly staff.

Can't recommend the Formosa highly enough. The location, the friendliness of the staff, the private little garden, the roof terrace, you can't fault it. We liked the clients kitchen (when you're on holiday you don't want to eat out for every meal!) which was well equiped. Wish I was there today.........

Perefct location in the centre of Tavira. Really beautiful huge bedroom and adjacent sitting room overlooking central square and river. Very clean and comfortable. Very nice cafe (Veneza) downstairs for breakfast.
