Spent four nights at the Pousada, the building is beautiful and the staff are kind and attentive. We travelled with our (well travelled and well behaved) kids aged 5 and 7, they also loved the hotel; but some of the other guests were not child friendly, which became irritating when being scowled at in the pool! The location is great,... more

I booked to stay here for 7 nights through Freedom Direct (don't use them). When we arrived at the hotel there was no record of our booking, and the hotel could only accomodate us for 4 nights as they were fully booked for the rest of our holiday. After 2 hours in reception with no one admiting blame (the hotel... more

My wife and I stayed for 4 days in early March 2008. We went on a Pousadas of Portugal Passport deal - 4 days bed and breakfast for Euro 380 (you also got 25% off 3 meals and a day free if you stayed in another Pousada for 3 days within 12 months). It was terrific value. The old convent... more

We stayed at this Pousada for 5 nights arriving on Christmas Eve. The hotel has been converted from a convent to a beautiful hotel. The staff are very good and the standards are fairly high. The breakfast offers a wide range but doesn't come with an egg man! We ate dinner twice. Be warned - the portions are huge. We... more

We stayed here for our honeymoon and everything about the hotel was brilliant. We found the staff were all really helpful and friendly, and the room was clean and very comfy. Having been converted from an old convent the hotel had much more character than many places we've stayed and we loved eating our breakfast each morning in the sunlight... more

It's quite extraordinary what's been done to this building. Touches of its long history are everywhere, but as a hotel it is absolutely modern and comfortable. As an aficionado of modern design, I was floored. There are many public gathering spaces -- not just a bar and restaurant but the pool, various nooks with tables, a serene courtyard, a living... more

The instant peace in this building is, perhaps, much needed after driving around the base of the hill looking for the way in! Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Breakfasts are huge and cater for every possible taste from cheese and olives, via umpteen meats and preserves, to sparkling wine and bountiful fruit. Swimming pool gleamed. Staff were friendly. Internet worked.... more

We called into the pousada in Sagres for an afternoon cup of tea while on a trip away from lagos. We were very impressed with the facilities there and although happy with our accommodation in Lagos, decided on the spot to try another pousada, and settled on Tavires as it is close to Faro and best suited for our last... more

We have just returned from a long weekend at this beautiful pousada and didn't have a single complaint. A wonderful old convent built around a serene inner courtyard in a charming small town (the nicest town we saw on the Algarve) and it is as quietly elegant as it is discrete. We had a superior room with terrace and everything... more
