    🌟 The accommodation and the location

    The Convent of the Bernardas, located in the heart of the charming Algarvian city of Tavira, was commissioned in 1509 by D. Manuel I and later handed over, in 1530, to the Sisters of Saint Bernard, nuns of the Cistercian Order.

    The rehabilitation of this building earned Eduardo Souto de Moura, architect, the Pritzker Prize and the European Prize for Intervention in Architectural Heritage in 2017.

    The solid wood furniture and simple decoration faithfully maintain the original design of the project's author, giving the space the true balance envisioned for the entire endeavor. The Convent of the Bernardas, also known as the Monastery of Our Lady of Mercy, was the first convent established in the Algarve.

    With two magnificent saltwater pools, offering numerous health benefits such as skin cleansing and hydration, reduction of inflammation, and muscle relaxation.

    A charming refuge for those seeking a peaceful stay full of history.

    Its proximity to the Gilão River, the Roman Bridge, and the embarkation pier for Tavira Island offers guests the opportunity to explore the natural and historical charms of the region. The Gilão River is especially picturesque, providing relaxing views and pleasant riverside walks. The Roman Bridge, with its antiquity and beauty, is a historic landmark that adds a special charm to the area.

    Easy access to the embarkation pier for Tavira Island is a significant advantage. Tavira Island is known for its stunning beaches and untouched nature, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy sunny days by the sea.

    Combining the tranquility of the Convent of the Bernardas, the beauty of the Gilão River, the history of the Roman Bridge, and the natural wonders of Tavira Island, this holiday apartment is the ideal destination for those seeking a relaxing and enriching experience in the Algarve.🏠 Interior and amenities

Our suite didn't enter into the courtyard. Instead, we entered off the car park area. I’d assumed it would as the pictures showed doorways into the courtyard area. Because it’s an old building, it was darker inside and felt damp. The beds were comfortable and it was handy to have a washing machine. The location was great, walkable to the farmers market where we shopped fresh fish and vegetables for our meals. We were met by Maria who was lovely and showed us the suite and when we couldn’t figure out the heat, another helpful lady popped by in the morning on her way to work. All in all, it was a good stay and we’d consider coming back.

Nice apartment in a beautiful building

We loved the apartment with view on the pool from our bed. It was quiet and the kids loved the big pool. We could park our car in front of the door. Only a short 5 minutes walk from the beautiful city center, restaurants and the boat to the beach. We will come back.
