Hotels near Nossa Senhora do Carmo Church

"Breakfast was a bit chaotic as the hotel was very busy. Food was ok. Pool area is lovely"

"Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at the apartment. It was very clean, quiet, and in a great location, making it easy to get around. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The kitchen was particularly well equipped, which was great for longer stays or preparing meals. The only downsides were that the double bed was quite small and not especially comfortable, and the apartment could benefit from some modernising in places. Despite that, we still enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for the location, cleanliness, and peaceful atmosphere"

"Great property, convenient for everything. Lovely restaurant next door frequented by locals. Poland grounds perfect. Plenty choice at breakfast."

"Modern hotel within walking distance from the town centre . You are greeted on arrival by a glass of wine, which is a nice touch. The rooms are spacious, clean, and with a decent size wardrobe, plus a fridge and a desk. Pool view rooms have a balcony, which also get the sun. Breakfast is very good, with a good selection of hot and cold food There is a gentleman playing the piano each morning. There is also sparkling wine available. The only downside is that it's quite noisy, especially if the hotel is busy, with no soft furnishings to absorb the sound. The two pools are nice but the water was cold on our visit (May). There is a pool bar for drinks, and more than enough sun loungers. A downside is that the bar plays music all day which I think is too loud, and not to everyone's taste. My idea of a relaxing time by the pool is not necessarily listening to someone else's choice of music. I think this is something that that hotel should look to. You don't really need music at all by the pool in my opinion. There is a rooftop bar which has indoor and outdoor seating, and has live music some nights, and a DJ at other times, starting from 20:30. The Spa is a waste of time, the pool is only 3m by 10m, the steam room was out of order, and the sauna was under repair. I was in and out in 5 minutes! There is a €10 deposit for pool towels. Note that from 7th May the hotel have introduced a no cash policy for all bar and restaurant payments. "

"Lovely spot. The only thing that was disappointing was the coffee on the breakfast buffet. The buffet was very decent, but the coffee is terrible. It tastes like instant coffee."

"Overall, the hotel offers a distinctive and peaceful resort experience with real character—far more than a standard stay. Set within a converted tuna-fishing village, it blends history, space, and a relaxed Algarve atmosphere beautifully. The setting is a real highlight. Built from a restored fishing settlement, the hotel feels like a small village rather than a typical block-style resort. It’s quiet, spacious, and surrounded by the stunning Ria Formosa, making it perfect if you’re looking to switch off and unwind. There’s easy access to the local beach, and the boat transfer directly from the hotel to Tavira Island (for a small fee) is a real standout feature. Facilities are solid, with pools, a spa, bars, and a good restaurant serving local Algarve dishes. The on-site museum and preserved buildings add an extra layer of interest and authenticity. Staff are excellent throughout, and the rooms are clean and well maintained. Breakfast offers a wide selection, although it can feel a little repetitive over longer stays. The only real trade-off is the location. It’s not in Tavira town centre, which is great for peace and quiet, but you’ll need to rely on taxis, Uber, or a short drive to get into town."

"Personnel à l’accueil agréable et à l’écoute. Hôtel situé dans un cadre naturel très bien entretenu. Déjeuner buffet très bien garnie de produits de qualité. Tranquille et très propre. Vraiment un 4 étoiles. Nous y retournerions sans hésiter."

"If you’re looking for a hotel with excellent hardware and software, the Palacio de Tavira is it. Warm and friendly service, beautiful property and a fantastic location."

"Staff took great pride in the hotel. Perfect location, modern and clean. Ticks all the boxes for a short break. "
