Pousada Convento Tavira

A convent at the top of Tavira

The Pousada Convento Tavira occupies the former convent of Nossa Senhora da Graça, in the upper part of the town, a few steps from the castle and the church of Santa Maria. Some rooms are the old cells; during the building works a site came to light with the remains of an Almohad quarter, which can be seen in the building. Please note: it is closed for works from 9 November to 22 December 2026.

Rooms, pool and restaurant

There are 36: 14 Classic and 16 Superior, for two adults and a child, and six suites for three adults and a child. Published prices start at €204 a night. The pool is in the garden, with bar service in summer. The Mouraria restaurant serves breakfast from 8:00 to 11:00, lunch from 13:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 22:00, and the bar, beside the cloister, opens from 11:00 to 23:00. It accepts dogs up to 15 kg, with a supplement and only in some rooms. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out until 12:00.

Getting there and parking

From Huelva you arrive in an hour on the A22, crossing the Guadiana at Ayamonte; the motorway has had no toll since 1 January 2025. The pousada has free parking for guests, something valuable in the centre of Tavira. On foot you go down in five minutes to the bridge over the Gilão and the quay for the boat to Ilha de Tavira.
