Casa Beleza do Sul

Our suite (mozaic) was full of character (not luxury!) with period furnishings and accessories and very large. Just be aware that, due to the great location within the old city, it can be very noisy (men outside the little bar right outside our window, building work opposite and just general people walking down the narrow alleys sounding like they are inside your room!). Rooftop terrace was superb, with lots of places to sit with shade and views. Lots of information came from the hostess, but unfortunately it arrived extremely late (11pm the night before and on the morning of arrival) would have been nice to get this before leaving home so some could be printed off! Also, the road was closed on our arrival day due to the building work so arrival was a lot more tricky than expected! But Tavira is lovely, with plenty of really nice restaurants and the ferry boats only 2 mins walk from the GH. Breakfast is no longer available as the GH is being sold to new owners...

Everything was lovely. The spacy room was elegantly designed, except for the 6 pixies in the French Doors (with a river view). But it somewhat added to the charm. Nice bed, nice host, nice cleaning lady, nice breakfast. Paola, thank you for a wonderful stay.

Over the last decade I have returned to Casa Beleza Do Sol three times. I love it! I’m drawn back by the low key, super relaxed, really natural, very welcoming atmosphere. It’s a chill place to stay and hang out. The little details like the tea selection and bathroom products add to the thoughtful hospitality. The location could not be better right in centre and across from the ferry. But it’s more than that. This time, when I opened the door to my room on arrival, I visibly sighed an out breath, and felt like I was coming home. A lovely feeling indeed.
