Location is spectacular right in heart of the old town near the castle, churches to visit, the bridge, restaurants etc. Going back in time is wonderful too. The property is beautiful. Pool is fantastic and super chill. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful with a lot of variety of local foods. The cheeses were to die for 😋!

Hotel is truly wonderful but the lack of replacement of amenities in both nespresso capsules/tea and in bathroom (lotion) is disappointing and surprising. For a 5 star hotel I would expect automatic daily replenishment. Breakfast is a late start at 8am so for early risers and those looking to make the first beach ferry that leaves at 8:30am a 7am or 7:30am start would be best.

Comfortable beds, lovely breakfast and pleasant staff. Excellent location.

It is a rather austere building so not somewhere to choose if you are looking for cozy common areas to relax.

The courtyard is simply lovely.

For a 5 star hotel, it was disappointing to be asked to pay for a small jug of milk, so that I could enjoy a coffee (using room facilities).

The history and location were nice. The room was clean and nice but we had a broken window and phone. The front desk person was very nice and offered us a different room but it did not have a window to open since it was handicap room. We were too hot to not have a window. So we had to have the swing window open all the way and it was still hot. I didn’t sleep well because of that. It was early March so just keep that in mind if you find yourself to run hot know that AC does not work this time of year as they have a central unit inside of individual. Otherwise very nice place with onsite parking. We had a good dinner here as well.staff was very nice.

No AC possible in March. Many hotels have individual units to allow for this. Just something to keep in mind if you run hot.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. >The breakfast was amazing and the opportunity to eat outside in the courtyard was brilliant. I was amazed at how quiet the hotel was. I never heard any noise coming from any other room. I also found the perfect gift for a friend and the reception staff were fabulous at putting it all together for me. The hotel is centrally located, just a stones throw away from the Castle and within walking distance to absolutely everything.

I had asked them to make a dinner reservation for me which unfortunately wasn't done but in the end it worked out fine. And I would have liked to get a nice massage but aalas I just didn't have time so I guess I'll have to go again and possibly for a longer period.

A beautiful hotel. A little oasis in Tavira - sitting in the beautiful shady central open area or relaxing by the pool was pure escapism. A beautiful historic hotel, thoughtfully and sympathetically restored to maintain character. Super close to the main areas of the town. Lovely, helpful staff. The breakfast was outstanding! We were visiting for a birthday treat arranged for my friend. A complimentary bottle of bubbly and a birthday cake greeted her on check-in - a lovely and unexpected touch.

Can't fault anything.

Beautiful location with spotless rooms. Very friendly staff who go over and above to help out. Absolutely fabulous breakfast! Dinner also delicious and bar snacks good. Swimming pool not heated in May but swimmable if brave and on the hot days we were there. Quieter hotel, calm and relaxing, not for wild parties. Bring good, grippy walking shoes—top of hill, lots of slippy cobbles! Forget your heels unless using Uber/taxis everywhere (very good, inexpensive service in the town).

Sometimes hard to get service in the bar, but kind staff would rush over to help if asked.

Fantastic welcoming staff

Nothing was an issue

Pousada Convento is in a fantastic location very close to the castle, with a short walk up/downhill to the city centre. We loved the serenity of the courtyard on arrival where we sat and enjoyed a drink. The variety of breakfast options, the quietness of the pool area and, of course, the courtesy and attentiveness of staff. The large open spaces and decor around the hotel gave it such a regal feeling. We spent 9 nights here for my 60th birthday and we couldn't have picked a better stay for this occasion. It was made so much more special when I was greeted with cake and champagne left in our room. I booked a facial and massage which was worth every penny. We also ate a superb meal at the hotel restaurant one evening. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for making our stay so special.

There wasn't much not to like. Perhaps at least another cabana at the pool.

Staying here was like going back in history...while still enjoying all modern amenities. The former convent is a spectacular setting and we had a spacious room with a large comfortable bed. We very much appreciated the personal care taken by the staff, whether accompanying us to our room to explain the set-up or walking us through the breakfast buffet and making recommendations.

A very minor point, but there were not many plugs in the room
