NOTES

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.

Tavira's Pousada has 36 Rooms: 7 are doubles and 24 are twins, of which one has a mezzanine floor. Some of the double and twin rooms have small balconies. One of the double rooms has a view to the church and the public garden in front of the Pousada. This room, the room with a mezzanine and another one with a private garden are characterized as superior rooms. There also are 5 suites of which one is a duplex (the suite D. Sebastião) another has a terrace and a private garden (the suite Almanasor) and two others have a small balcony (the suites Santiago and Frei Sam Pedro). Frei João is the name of the other suite. One of the rooms has disabled facilities.

One of the more contemporary features of the Pousada is the swimming pool and terrace which, along with several other modern touches, provide clients with 21st century comforts and style, blended with the authentic features of the convent. This is tastefully done so that the Pousada de Tavira retains an aura of serenity and tranquility, with its quiet and luminous cloister and passageways bolstered by additional walkways that enable guests to enjoy the panoramic views of this wonderful setting. Tavira's Pousada also has a safe car park with gates that are closed at night.

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 Pousada has an excellent restaurant offering a wide variety of Portuguese and international cuisine where guests can expect plenty of fish and seafood on the menu, but still also find good meat and vegetarian options, and traditional desserts to taste.

Tavira is known as the ‘Town of Churches’, and also as the ‘Venice of the Algarve’ due to its position on two hills on either side of the River Gilão linked by a seven-arched bridge. Midway between Faro and the Spanish border, this is a delightful and completely 'unspoilt' area of the Algarve - a world away from the popular resorts to the west.
