Guest Reviews
- Loekie (9/5): Prachtige hotel midden in oude centrum van Tavira! - Mooie inrichting, heel servicegericht personeel en goede ligging!
- Fiona (10/5): wonderful stay at Tavira House Hotel. Staff very attentive and helpful - We had a wonderful 6 night stay at Tavira House Hotel. The hotel is lovely, a beautiful restored building with comfortable sitting areas indoor and outdoor and very comfortable rooms. Breakfast was excellent and included fresh fruit, yoghurt, scrambled eggs, breads, and pasta de nata to finish!!
Filomena, Joshi and the team were extremely welcoming and helpful looking after all our needs including serving coffee during the day and providing a sun parasol and towels for the beach. The Honesty bar was very good.
- Mario (10/5): A beautiful, historic home, in a quiet location, a short walk from the main square. - Filomena, the host, welcomed us warmly with a drink and conversation. She was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was excellent. Nothing
- Steve (10/5): True gem in Tavira! - Staff was exceptional! Breakfast was the best ever!
- Tricia (7/5): - Easy walking distance to central Tavira, restaurants etc. good breakfast. Lovely terrace on rooftop to sit in sun and have a drink. Unfortunately problems with hot water system and cold showers resulted intermittently. Beds ok but firm. No tissues or face washes in room - not a deal breaker! Parking in narrow street outside a little tricky and for anyone with mobility issues, steep staircase to get to Rooms and breakfast area.

- Hertwich (10/5): -

- 05daee45545b7219bb85b7076dcf4872 (9/5): - De ligging en de vriendelijkheid van het personeel. Ik miste echt een stoel aan de kaptafel. Je moest een zware, logge zetel door de kamer sleuren om de spiegel die op zithoogte hing te kunnen gebruiken. Voor de rest was de kamer top.

- Colin (10/5): -
- Mark (9/5): Lovely older house in the center of town. - Enjoyed our stay. This place is like staying at your favorite aunt's house. Beautiful older home. Staff was friendly and breakfasts were good. AC in our room worked perfectly and the bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately they do not run the AC in the common areas and we were there during a heat wave, So we couldn't enjoy the parlor room. Run AC in common areas on hot days.

- David (8/5): Ideally positioned - Great location, walking distance from the train station and the river. Caring host who fixed wifi issues and helped with island ferry information. They also arranged an earlier breakfast on our last day. Cold room (December) and heater was too far from the bed. Bedroom ceiling rather low.

- Vít (9/5): - Výborná snídaně, ochotný personál, nesmírně vlídná a vstřícná domácí paní Filomena. Originální patrové studio, užitečná klimatizace, prostorná terasa. Denní úklid. Klidná poloha, přitom cca 300 m do centra Taviry.
- Liam (8/5): Very welcoming staff and good location - Great staff. Nice roof terrace. No choices at breakfast. Although good quality it was the same every day.
- Olga (9/5): - Zentrale Lage! Einfaches Hotel, sauber und für unseren Zweck der Durchreise vollkommen ausreichend. Altstadt, Fähre alles zu Fuß erreichbar.
Netter Aufenthaltsraum.
- Hans-Jürgen (10/5): Entspannend, erholsam - Sehr nettes, aufmerksames und zuvorkommendes Personal, als Crew sehr angenehme Stimmung verbreitet. Sauberes, äusserst komfortables Zimmer, reichhaltiges, vitaminreiches Frühstück, zentral gelegene Unterkunft. Keine negative Punkte
- Franky (9/5): Super uitvalsbasis om Tavira en zijn mooie stranden te ontdekken, zowel per boot als per treintje - Mooi huis met een geschiedenis, heel dicht bij centrum, super ontbijt of was het al brunch? Badkamer beetje vochtig, betere luchtverversing aan te bevelen
- Michael- Lorena (10/5): So fantastic, we wanted to stay more days butwas solid booked. We will retun - Location, extremely comfortable. Hotel boutique small and great attention to detail. Nothing. Everything was great.
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Zi Hao (8/5): Wonderful location with excellent staff! - Very polite and professional staff; they made sure to attend to our needs. Location is very close to the main area and it’s a quiet neighbourhood. The interior in our room was a little bit old. The bar fridge which was next to our bed was quite loud.
- Lucas (10/5): - Schöne Zimmer, sehr weiche Handtücher. Doppelbett ohne Spalt. Große freistehende Badewanne.
Sehr liebe Gastgeberin und sehr nettes Personal.
Super Lage!
- Lindahl (10/5): -
- Janet (9/5): Very welcoming and comfortable room and house - The location was excellent and 5 or 10 mins to trains, buses, ferry and centre.
The staff were excellent and welcoming, especially Filimena.
The coffee machine in the room was good but we like tea first thing and a kettle was easily provided. Lack of garden but we knew this before going. The sun terrace is a nice alternative.
- Laurel (10/5): - Everything was wonderful. Staff could normally have been nicer or more welcoming. Location was great. Near restaurants and attractions. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.
- Kaye (10/5): -
- fenis (10/5): -
- Rachael (9/5): Perfect location, charming hotel, wonderful staff - Like staying with family
- Doherty (10/5): -
- Gillian (9/5): Very enjoyable stay in a small boutique style hotel. - Very central location - very short walk into the centre of Tavira. Filomena (manageress) was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Young man who served breakfast also very friendly and polite. Lovely decor in the lounge area. Rooftop terrace was a nice quiet place to relax in the sun. Nothing to dislike really. As our room was on the ground floor it just looked out on the street so no view but that wasn’t a problem. One thing that could be improved in the bedroom would be to put up some artwork on the walls which were very bare. Could be an opportunity to showcase local artists.
- Jeremy (10/5): We had a wonderful stay at Tavira House, it could not have been better. - Philomena and her staff could not have been more helpful, they were exceptional. The room was spacious and clean with goof facilities and a large comfortable bed. The breakfast was excellent. The honesty bar was good. Beach towels were provided on request. The location is very convenient, close to the centre of town and many good restaurants. It was also quiet. Nothing!
- rosario (9/5): - la estancia fue muy agradable, el sitio era ideal, muy cerca del centro y del barco para ir a la playa.
La anfitriona nos ayudó y nos orientó, fue muy agradable, igual que el resto del personal.
- María (9/5): - La habitación era muy bonita y el personal muy atento. El desayuno en la terraza muy bueno. Demasiadas escaleras para subir a la habitación pero merece la pena.
- Sarah (8/5): Great team made all the difference - Everything
- werner (9/5): Prima - Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel Niets
- Cecilia (10/5): a beautiful charming small hotel with excellent friendly professional staff - The breakfast was excellent. Very healthy, fresh and delicious. The location is very convenient for the main square, supermarket and station. Our room was on the ground floor and the hotel is situated in a very quiet road so free of traffic noise. The staff were exceptional in their care of the clients needs. Especially Philamenia who goes out of her way to ensure that everybody is happy. I, myself, had an accident, not in the hotel, and she was very attentive to my needs. The main staircase is rather steep but very doable with handrails
- Holly (9/5): -
- Tom (10/5): Fantastic stay! Best location, best people... Thank you Tavira House! - We absolutely loved our stay at Tavira House! The house itself is beautiful, and our room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable. The location couldn’t be better — everything in Tavira is just a short walk away. Breakfast was outstanding — generous, delicious, and the perfect way to start each day.
Filomena, our host, was wonderful — friendly, welcoming, and always quick to communicate. She truly made us feel at home. Her staff, especially Joseph, went above and beyond to make us comfortable.
Of all our accommodations in Portugal, Tavira House was our favorite. It made our visit to Tavira truly special, and we would return in a heartbeat! We liked everything!
- Catherine (10/5): -
- Stuart (10/5): - The comfortable, homely feel to the beautiful house. Personal attention to everyone. Great location. The roof top terrace is an added bonus as is the honesty bar. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Didn't stay long enough!
- Hannah (8/5): Very pleasant, great location to the town - A lovely property with a cosy, homely vibe. Staff were welcoming and the breakfast was excellent. Our room didn’t have good ventilation due to no windows in bathroom and being on the ground floor.
- Rhona (10/5): - Filomena gave us a lovely warm welcome to Tavira House. The boys at breakfast were friendly too, serving an excellent breakfast. We were a 10 minute walk from the station and 10 minutes from the river in Tavira. Altogether a very pleasant stay.
- Petra (8/5): Schöne Tage in Tavira und Umgebung erlebt - Sehr gemütlich und hübsch eingerichtet Sehr kleine Zimmer
- Andrea (10/5): Totally enjoyable stay🤗 - Wonderful people at Tavira House- all so helpful & kind!
Great location & amazing breakfast!
- Roy James (10/5): Time to relax - Tavira House was exceptional. Filomena and the staff could not do enough for us. From staying later to welcome us (late flight), complementary drink on arrival, loan of beach towels, plate of fruit left in our room for our early checkout breakfast, and a beautiful breakfast each morning, all carried out with a warmth and friendliness you do not receive very often these days! Thank you N/A
- Robert (10/5): The BEST - We loved Filamena, the hostess. She is so friendly, very accommodating, helpful. Her staff, Joshi ? was also the best! Loved everything/everyone about this location. I miss Filamena.
- Michele (8/5): We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Tavira House. It’s very close to town but far enough away that we didn’t hear much no - We loved the friendly staff and location of Tavira House. The breakfasts were excellent.
- Nancy (10/5): I loved it here and would love to return. Home away from home - Beautiful clean well located! Everything about the property was excellent

Très très calme
Petit déjeuner servi avec soin et copieux
- Kent (10/5): A gem! - Located in the Old Town, the establishment is centrally located to shops and restaurants, as well as the ferry.
The breakfast was outstanding, offering a substantial menu.
- Sally (10/5): A beautiful place for an interesting few days in Tavira - Absolutely beautiful gem of a small boutique hotel. The service from Filomena and her team was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble.
The old building was charming and had beautiful modern design features. It was spotlessly clean. The breakfast was also excellent. No issues at all - but be warned there are lots of old slightly uneven steps between levels to get around the public spaces.
- Dale (10/5): Perfect stay - All staff were so friendly and helpful including Filomena who stayed late for our late check in and all the breakfast staff who were helpful, polite and friendly. All spoke good English. Filomena also let us leave our bags until late in the evening on our check out day as we had a really late flight.
Beautiful roof terrace was lovely and quiet to sit in the evening and the hotel was an excellent location, only a five minute walk from the river and the island ferry and also the train station. Nothing
- Annette (9/5): -
- Jacqueline (8/5): -
- anna rita (10/5): - Struttura eccellente , ma tutto è valorizzato dalla professionalità della Sig.ra Filomena gentilissima e premurosa con gli ospiti. Ci torneremo certamente.
- Bernd (9/5): - Die Freundlichkeit von Filomena !
- Phil (10/5): Warm and welcoming hotel worth your stay - Welcoming chic place 5 mins stroll from the river and town centre.
Step through the front door to a surprisingly elegant reception and lounge. There’s an honesty bar and a roof terrace with views over the town.
We stayed in Bougainvillia a double room on the first floor. The bathroom was large with a double walk in shower and wonderfully large soft towels.
The bedroom had a hush quiet ac unit and a balcony overlooking the quiet street.
Breakfast is a tasty continental and you won’t go hungry.
Best of all are the people there. Philomena and Joshi are warm and welcoming to everyone.
Go yourself and find out. Only downside is parking. The street is one way and narrow and we managed to park close to the entrance. Put your wing mirrors in and you will be fine - there’s little traffic and everyone drives slowly.
