Lock in a great price for Pousada Convento de Tavira - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

Lovely room with a huge terrace for soaking up the sun

Gordon, United Kingdom

After a little snafu between our rental car and a wall, we were thrilled to be ushered into a giant, comfy suite with a view over the valley. A grand historic property. We could have spent the entire time within the walls of the property, but Tavira and the nearby beaches are worth exploring.

Robert, USA

Very friendly staff. Answered all our questions. Went the extra mile as we say.

Barry, USA

Elegant environment in a former convent. Friendly and approachable staff. Very central location. Lots of restaurant nearby

Amelita, Canada

Great location. Staff was wonderful. It was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Good breakfast. A perfect stay in Travira.

Francine, USA

This property is a former convent - it has been beautifully redecorated yet still retains the mystique of its ageless circa 1600 origin. The property is located in the old town, and an easy walk to the historical waterfront area. The breakfast was one of the best we experienced in Portugal; the pool area was large and comfortable with bar service offered. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and a pleasure to deal with.

Martin, Canada

The reception staff was very welcoming and helpful. Also the dining room staff. Rooms were clean and very comfortable.

Margaret, United Kingdom

Historical character of the building was impressive. Excellent location in the old centre of Tavira close to many of the main tourist sights. Helpful and friendly staff.

Nicholas, United Kingdom

Loved the historic, repurposed property, with serene pool

One of our top picks in Tavira.Pousada Convento de Tavira is set around the quiet courtyard of the 16th-century St. Augustine’s Convent. Just few minutes’ walk from the Roman Bridge over Gilão River, it offers an outdoor pool.

All of the rooms in this central Tavira hotel overlook the courtyard or the hotel’s pool garden, while some come with a balcony. Each has a private en suite bathroom with tub and hairdryer.

Guests can relax under shady umbrellas on the poolside sun loungers. The colonnaded courtyard provides a pleasant retreat on hot days. At night, guests can read a book by the open fireplace in the elegant lounge.

A daily breakfast buffet is offered in the dining room or in the courtyard outdoors. The restaurant serves delectable local and international cuisine for lunch and dinner.

Ilha de Tavira’s white beaches are situated just 15 minutes’ drive from the Pousada. Excellent golf opportunity is offered by Benamor Golfe Course, 4.3 miles away. Plenty of restaurants are found near the Pousada Convento de Tavira.

This is our guests' favourite part of Tavira, according to independent reviews.

This property also has one of the best-rated locations in Tavira! Guests are happier about it compared to other properties in the area.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
