POUSADA CONVENTO DA GRACA

I hate to post this because I do not want to find the Pousada fully booked when I next want to go! Anyway, what a wonderful place to stay, I highly rewcommend this as the best place to stay in the area. it has historical significance and is totally charming. It is quiet and serene. The staff are unobstrusive but friendly and attentive. I had an absolutely fabulous time with no complaints at all.

The Convento Tavira was the last hotel on our trip through Portugal this year, during which we deliberately chose some special hotels in historic buildings. The location in a former monastery is beautiful and very idyllic, and the building undoubtedly has a very special charm. We would particularly like to highlight the consistently friendly, attentive, and helpful staff. We felt very warmly welcomed and well taken care of from the first moment. We found it a little unfortunate that the inner part of the cloister was cordoned off during our stay due to construction work. This area in particular naturally defines the special atmosphere of the building. As a result, it felt a bit more like a construction site in places than one would wish for in such a historic setting. Perhaps that was also why it was unusually quiet in the hotel overall – for our taste, almost a little too quiet. We would have liked to visit the hotel's bar and restaurant in the evening and enjoyed a bit more atmosphere there. Due to the current situation, we ultimately decided against it. Nevertheless, the Convento Tavira remains a beautiful and special place for us with extremely lovely staff. When the work is completed and the cloister is fully showcased again, the hotel should gain significantly in atmosphere once more.

The Pousada has a very well preserved historical character and guarantees an unparalleled stay. Being in the city centre easily accesses several points of interest of the city by leaving the car in the private park. The pool has a very nice surrounding space. The service is even five-star and in the various areas - reception, restaurant, housekeeping. Although the price may seem high, the quality offered fully justifies it. The desire to return!!!
