This historic pousada hotel in Tavira is ideal for those who want to spend their holidays in Portugal, either summmer either a weekend long break.
We stayed in November 2009 at the Convento da Graca on our way home and had an outstandingly good impression of the pousada. The hotel as the name suggests, is a renovated convent with bags of character and history.
The reception staff were very welcoming and friendly and spoke excellent English. We were given a beautiful room overlooking the gardens at the front. Very clean and quiet, the room had a very large and comfortable bed and was very well appointed.
The restaurant staff were also very helpful and put themselves out to make us feel welcome; they ensured we received a discount for being Golden Age guests. We had a top quality meal at a very reasonable price considering the standard of the hotel.
The town centre is literally a stone’s throw away and is pleasant for a stroll.
Just one small point, we thought that for a hotel of this category, the wireless internet should have been complimentary. A computer terminal was available for guests, but this needed a serious overhaul as it was full of viruses; the antivirus installed was well out of date.
Nevertheless, we can thoroughly recommend this pousada and hope to be able to stay longer next time.
Our second visit, this time November 09, all our good memories were comfirmed.
All the staff from reception, bar and dining room and cleaning ladies all friendly, cheerful, discrete and very, very good and efficient.
The room and public areas were well equiped and relaxing and the dining room was welcoming and presents excellant meals.
The Golden Age offer made things even better and the booking staff made sure that we had the best deal available.
The hotel is also well positioned in this friendly laid back town.
Will we come again? you bet we will
We stayed in early October for 5 nights and absolutely loved the place. Very relaxing, lovely surroundings and excellent service.
Great value for money especially if using the Pousada Passports - made the restaurant affordable.
splendid breakfast!
We will definitely be back next year
We stayed at the Convento da Graca for the night of 19/6 before moving into an apartment in Tavira for a 2 1/2 week stay. We received a very warm welcome at the Pousada, which lived up to our expectations. The staff were excellent and the Pousada was very relaxing place to stay in. It is situated close to the town where there are many bars & restaurants. We enjoyed our time so much that we are considering a return visit next year.
We very much enjoyed our stay.
The accommodations were first rate, the staff was friendly and helpful and it was easy to walk everywhere in Tavira.
One of our best pousada experiences in Portugal.
Our stay was most enjoyable.
As with all the other pousadas the accomadation, food and service were first class.
The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Did not appreciate the imitation flowers/plants in bedroom, but I guess that is a personal thing.
Loved the building and the archaeological site.
Well done
The Convento de Graca was a wonderful find. A beautiful hotel in a lovely location. Very friendly staff welcomed us and made us very comfortable with our 15 month old daughter. As well as providing the usual cot, we were actually encouraged to use the restaurant with the baby and the staff were very interactive with her.
We had a small problem with the air conditioning in our room and whilst it was a little frustrating to be told it was working when it was not, we were moved to another room with working air con. The receptionist on duty was alone and handled the situation very well.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone - with or without children.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Convento da Graca in Tavira. A very friendly and helpful young man greeted us, and was always very willing to help in whatever way he could. Likewise the rest of the staff. Our bedroom overlooked the front of the hotel,with a small balcony,but apart from the roadworks whilst we were there creating a lot of noise (!!) when they had gone for the day, it was very peaceful. The restaurant was excellent - easily on a par with top London restaurants, the location of the hotel perfect (just a short walk into town) and a lovely bar for relaxing in after dinner. We have stayed in a few Pousada hotels,and this was certainly among the best.
Lovely Pousada by far the best we have visited. Staff is extremely helpful and the town is charming. The design of the Pousada is also lovely. We definately will return for another visit.
We had a wonderful week in Convento da Graca. The convent is beautiful, with tastefully furnished rooms and lots of space.The restaurant serves very good food, and a healthy breakfast. The best thing though was the friendly staff.
We had our grandchild 3 years old traveling with us, and both the hotel and Travira was very friendly to him and us. The childrens room could be updated a bit, needs a bit of new toys, but the pool for small children and the service around families with children could not be better.
The breakfasts were great, lots of fruit and hot dishes as well, and we also enjoyed a delicious dinner during our stay. The tourist menu was excellent. (Includes wine, couvert, soup etc.)
We were greeted by a friendly young man who spoke excellent English. He gave us a tour of the Pousada and showed us to our room. Also showed us how everything operated. The bedroom was lovely, very clean, modern, and tastefully decorated. We had a nice basket of fruit and water every day during our stay. The view from a lovely little balcony was overlooking the castle . The public rooms, including the bar, living room (which had a working computer) was very homey. The Pousada was quiet and peaceful in the evening. The location was very central, we could walk everywhere. There was a church nearby, and a short walk to the town square. The restaurants were mostly located across the river, which was very close. We visited the cafes near the Pousada and there were lots of nice little shops to browse in. All in all, a ten out of ten. We would highly recommend this place to our friends, and will definetely stay there again .
Our second visit to Convento da Graca in late Feb 2009 was every bit as good as in 2008. Excellent friendly staff, nice room and great breakfast. The dinner menu was varied and well presented. We even dropped in for lunch on our way to the airport before flying home!
Well we splashed out on our tour of the Pousadas and had the suite and could not fault in any way. The location, helpful staff, good food and the way in which you were right near the centre of Tavira made for an unforgettable stay in late February
Thanks for the opportunity to comment. We all were very impressed with the Pousada Convento da Graca the rooms were excellant, nice, warm and clean, and a very big bed. The restaurant and the food very good. the staff all very helpful and spoke good English
All in all a very good experience, especially for the time of the year, January .
