This hotel has alot of charm. Its character is quaint European, the room is small, but sufficient for two people. Bed is comfortable and the area is quiet. Great central location with easy access to island ferry.

Okay but overpriced

The building, as most are in Tavira, is beautiful and the approach to all the rooms is stunning with the architecture. The room itself had original features, which is a positive, but even with this there are the basics of maintenance and this is where the tale goes downhill. The bathroom is the obvious one where, though the tiles are original, there has been no effort to cover where items have been taken down. Rawl plugs are still in place and plainly visible, the tap cover caps were missing. The door, though again an original feature needed some tlc. In the bedroom the bedside units had missing trim and the a/c was noisy to say the least. On the plus side the bed was huge and comfy and check in/out was easy. If this room had been 60-80€ I would have accepted but at 128€ it was unacceptable. I would have raised this issue if i'd have been asked at check out but wasnt so on here it goes.

Great location, would recommend for a stay right in the middle of Tavira. Negative point, floors tiled throughout results in a lot of noise whenever people move around

Romantic stay in Alvor (not long enough)

This is a great location on the riverfront. The ferry to get to Tavira Island (beach) is literally right outside and easy walk to restaurants. Located at the quieter end of the downtown core.
Front of property. Great restaurant downstairs. Hotel guests receive a discount on meals there
Front of hotel on promenade (ferry launch on right…20 steps away).

Excellent support from the Reception staff that went above and beyond by helping carry one of my heavy suitcases up the stairs - which I appreciated. - Thank You. 🙏 It is older buildings, so no elevators, with multiple landings to get to the room. The room was extremely small and the window faced the back of another building, the bathroom and shower was the smallest I have ever come across. The shower door kept coming off its roller on the track, and the water alternated from scalding hot to cold. Parking is not available on site, and one could only park 3 blocks away, which is a problem with transporting multiple heavy rollaway luggage across cobbled stone streets.
