As "Passport" visitors we were obviously not in the best rooms but the one we had was perfectly good. I was a little disappointed about the limitations of the WIFI offered but it is a small criticism in what was otherwise a very enjoyable experience.

Our room was well positioned with a pleasing view from the balcony over the pool and remnants of the old city wall and was a good size, well fitted out and nice and clean. The meal we had at the resturant was expensive but memourably good and the service was excellant. The seating areas around the cloisters were pleasent and relaxing giving a wonderful start to a much needed holiday.

The restaurant was great and the service attentive. we had 2 Cachaca in the bar which had a great ambiance. I would mind the nine euro price but one would have expected free wifi. In fact we spent much time at bars in the town where there is free wifi. Whoever makes the decision to ration the wifi needs to ask themselves how many drinks at nine euro a time are we missing out on selling? Nice stay but wrong business decision! We come back to Portugal every year and this was our first time in a pousada. We will try another next year but I would expect to see the wifi included. Its not even the cost that annoys its the hassle and the pettiness. Its like charging extra for sugar in the coffee! Fabulous stay.

The staff were all polite and helpful, but we were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. It was not cleaned fully on a daily basis, the rug had sand and ants, tops of furniture not cleaned fully. Even worse my wife had numerous bites!!!. Would we visit again.....NO We stayed for a week, the door to the veranda did not close properly, this was eventually rectified.

The staff were all friendly, helpful and polite and the accommodation was excellent. The building itself has been beautifully restored and the atmosphere is very peaceful and calming. Breakfast was very good. The Pousada really merited a longer stay than we were able to schedule. We shall certainly visit again.

The food was sumptuous and the staff excellent.It is a young staff with lots of professionalism and charm.I agree with previous comments that bar prices are expensive and these should be revised with a view to encouraging guests to partake.The Pousada is ideally situated and the centre of Tavira is but a whisk away.We would be delighted to pay another visit when circumstances allow.

We were greeted by a charming receptionist who swept us up a magnificent staircase to very attractive a room overlooking the pool. Sadly the atmosphere of ths building needs a little tweeking. Why on earth was a modern inappropriate figure of a naked woman placed in the centre of the courtyard? A traditional fountain surrounded by orange and lemon trees in terracotta urns would have softened the area and made the restaurant more appealing. Like Estoi finding staff to order food and drink was difficult. A beautiful building.
