Great location. Rooms were classic design. Small but very nice. Really suited my solo traveler needs, but fine for couples, too.

There was Varela a ves ( full size, not queen) and no breakfast. Breakfast is an additional fee and housekeeping is also upon request. The room was clean but the furniture junky and falling apart. Getting to the room was a treacherous ordeal up flights up stairs with suitcases and at night in the dark. We used our phone lights. Requests for towels and coffee pods went unanswered all but once.

The location is great
The room was good
The breakfast is a coffee pod only NO breakfast
There is a serious issue with keys 3 in total
I got stuck in the building going out and needed help as the door release is broken
I was trapped at night on the apartment entry as my key would not turn in the door. Lighting is on timer so was stuck in the dark
They need the services of a good locksmith

Not worth the money

Horrible cheap pillows and the cushions on the bed looked about 10 years old. Old towels one with stain on it. Very very small shower room. Our room was advertised as a suite but it was only a room with a shower. As it was the most expensive room we expected a lot more. The only good thing was the rooftop terrace. And it's not B & B if you want breakfast you have to pay extra.

Bom gosto no centro de Tavira

Bem localizado, com qualidade e bom gosto. No centro de Tavira, vale a pena. Perto de restaurantes, do rio e de várias atracções!
