Tavira is nice, but the stones polished by decades of cars and foot traffic made the sloping sidewalks/roads feel almost treacherous. This is not the location to get away from freezing rain. Some of the old area in the east side is undergoing upgrades to the water system, which means it may be dusty.

Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists.
Cute little city full of 70 year old tourists. Few restaurants other than Indian food. Little shopping. Beaches nice but very difficult to access. Pararia do barrill involves street parking then walking a half mile to a train which will take you 1 mile to the beach for 2eu each way. Or you can walk on a slanted broken walkway all the way. At the beach there is one overpriced restaurant.
Overall Tavira is Not family friendly at all.

We are scoping out retirement options so were looking for walkability and reliable public transportation. Tavira offers both! Local market is full of fresh meat, fish, fruits and vegetables along with wares such as baskets and cut flowers. Lots of restaurants and shops. Walking distance to train which we took to the eastern border then hopped a ferry to Spain for lunch. We opted out of the hotel breakfast and found a cafe across the river for coffee and avocado toast one day, another day we went to the Pingo Doce grocery store for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. We tried a different restaurant for dinner every night and every meal was fantastic. If we had to do it over again, we would not have rented a car. The metro, train and bus system is reliable and comfortable as well as much cheaper and less stressful.

Tavira is a city with very interesting architecture. It's crossed by a river that gives it a certain romantic flavour. It has some very interesting beaches nearby, with sand as far as the eye can see and good water quality.

Loved the Friendliness in this nice quaint old town, unfortunately the roads / streets were in process of being dug up & left rather unsafe ( we witnessed a lady falling).. lots of cobbled streets which were left unfinished. Hopefully they will complete soon for travellers & residents to enjoy this lovely town.

Tavira is full of character and has an obvious love of its history and heritage. It offers the opportunity to have a beach holiday without it being forced upon you. Wander down all the back streets and find new places.
We mostly self-catered but there are many restaurants with differing cuisines. Take a punt - it will probably pay off. If you like octopus take a trip to Santa Luzia just 3km away. It is a charming fishing port and the octopus catching centre of Portugal

Tavira House is described as a "boutique hotel with historical elements." While the property itself is impressive, many of the appointments do not match this description. That said, the staff were welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast service was good, and the hostess went out of her way to provide foods for our personal allergies, which is stellar. Once we were moved from the first room assigned that was on the street with doors and windows that did not shut or lock to an interior room on the patio, we felt safe.
A Muralha is the perfect location to explore beautiful and pristine Tavira, my favorite town on the Algarve. It is right in the center, close to the river and you can explore the town easily on foot. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful and explaining you where to go and there are bikes available for when you want to go to the nearby beaches, not far from the hotel. The breakfast is superfluous, and the rooms are simple of design but comfortable. All you need and want in beautiful Tavira.
As soon as we arrived, we knew it was gonna be the highlight of our Portugal trip. And it was! The house is beautiful, with friendly animals and impeccable service that made us feel really welcome, always making sure we had everything we needed. The propriety is clean, spacious and really well located. It was the perfect launching pad to explore the Algarve, and the perfect place to come back to after a long day. I would stay there again and would definitely recommend to anyone going to the region!
close to town and hotel facilities perfect for what we wanted as a chill at the end of the year which we were able to do by the pool as weather was great. breakfast selection good too although the coffee was dreadful - had to pay for an espresso or cappuccino which wasn’t great, most hotels we have stayed in Portugal which are many this was the first time, disappointing so we went out for coffee after breakfast and paid 70cents a cup!
Recommended by Rough Guide to Portugal- absolutely right. Delightful place right by the ferry boat to Ilha da Tavira. Nice room. Good breakfasts. The Mares could not be better located, you are right in the heart of everything. A great five day stay with trips to Faro, Vila Real de SA and Fuseta. Helpful bus link to Seville. Many different ways to make a stay enjoyable. For eating go to the Restaurante Simco.
We have been travelling around Portugal staying in lots of different places and I can say this was the best by far.
Centrally located, quiet enough though, all the facilities etc etc.
The main thing is the effort put in made it a perfect stay.
There is just enough character to the property that its charming and still functional, a difficult balance usually.
This is a compact and well-equipped place benefiting from some private outside space.
The hosts were attentive and friendly.
The location was convenient and local parking was free.
Tavira is a pleasant base from which to explore the lovey Eastern Algarve
We felt we were in authentic Portugal not just some tourist development based in Portugal.
It was very central to Tavira. Lovely clean hotel. Staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Complimentary drink for all the family on arrival. Lovely swimming pool. Breakfast was plentiful and very varied and it was lovely to sit up on the terrace to enjoy the beautiful views
It’s all the little details that make this guesthouse a 5 star experience. Breakfast, light up mirror in the bathroom, amazing smelling soap in the bathroom. The staff goes out of their way to help you plan your trip as well and give great tips about Tavira and the surrounding areas.
Very cozy and clean place. The location is very nice, extremely quiet and, at the same time, near the city center and main attractions. The staff was very friendly and helpful in providing guidance to visit the city. I definitely recommend for a get away in Portugal.
It's amazingly comfortable for how small it is (we are a family of 5). The outside area makes the difference, it's really pleasant at night and early morning, with it's nice mango and avocado trees. The location is great to explore the coast of Algarve near Tavira.
It is the most fabulous hotel right at the heart of Tavira with the possibility to use the kitchen (if you like to prep your own meals) and a breathtaking rooftop terrace. the staff is just lovely and extremely helpful. best choice in Tavira!
Andrea, our host, was the best. It's a very unique hotel in the perfect location of old town Tavira. The breakfast was well done, and the sunny patio is worth an extended visit. The bed was very comfortable, about perfect.
Excellent breakfast selection and staff very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Hotel within a short walking distance of local restaurants and amenities. Tavira is a good base from which to explore the Eastern Algarve.
Fantastic hotel. Lovely staff. Great rooftop bar. Lovely breakfast. Just a short stroll into Tavira old town. Great parking.
