    The hotel is very characterful, full of art works, quite unique, in a great position & is very comfortable. We really enjoyed our short stay. The staff, especially Nina, were very helpful & friendly & we were able to have our room ahead of the official check-in time. We enjoyed the selection of foods at breakfast, served as a buffet. The quality of the bed linens, towels & bathrobes were all excellent. The king size bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows. Thank you SPB team.

    I cannot fault this hotel

    Stylish and a bit quirky and beautifully furnished - a mix of the traditional and contemporary. Breakfast on the patio was delicious and beautifully and elegantly presented. Different home made bakes were served each day. Service was unobtrusive but friendly. We felt very comfortable and relaxed. Our room was at the back with its own private terrace so it was quiet. Despite being right in the centre. We had a wonderful relaxing stay

    The hotel is situated in the centre of the town. We were able to park right outside and the cost was around €7 for Friday pm to Sunday pm (nearby pay machine). We received a warm welcome on arrival. The hotel has 5 rooms - the rooms we stayed in were spacious and well equipped - and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely return here again.

    Our room was spacious but could hear all the footsteps above us and room itself was dark. On one hand, would have preferred breakfast earlier but on the other hand, it would have meant hearing the kitchen noise earlier in our room.

    Location excellent. Staff was cordial. Breakfast was excellent.

    The hotel had incredible charm — they put their unique spin on every inch of the rooms. Cute decor - from the rugs, to artwork, to china used for breakfast. The breakfast was fantastic - very sufficient and delicious, fresh food. Kept us full through lunch time. Great location in the heart of Tavira. My only caution is if you have the room on floor 2 next to reception, the restaurant below the hotel can be a bit loud as well as the footsteps / noise from guests on the floor above. Overall, highly recommend Sao Paulo - Monica and Mario are great.

    Beautiful, thoughtfully designed renovated building

    The basement room, where we stayed, was dark with only two windows and a door opening outside. This would have been lovely in the summer if it was hot or sunny, but it wasn't ideal in winter time. Unfortunately, because we were placed in the basement room (though the hotel wasn't full) it was very creaky and noisy in the mornings as breakfast was prepared and served in the room directly above ours - so we woke up early both days. We really wished we had been in a room with more natural light, and also wished there had been a bathtub!

    This is a beautiful, renovated building with much attention paid to detail. We liked the common space and used it frequently to enjoy the natural light. Breakfasts were wonderful and we appreciated the fresh, homemade orange cake slices when we arrived. The rooms also smelled lovely. The hosts were helpful in arranging transportation for us and massage treatments nearby during our stay, and had good recommendations! We would return and book a different room next time.

    Fabulous boutique hotel in central Tavira with restaurants, bars, ferry to beach etc all a few minutes away. Lovely traditional breakfast and staff extremely kind and helpful. Nothing was too much to ask - restaurant bookings, airport shuttle, timetables, etc. Would highly recommend as a very traditional, unique and endearing hotel.
