🌟 The accommodation and the location

The Convent of the Bernardas, located in the heart of the charming Algarve city of Tavira, was commissioned in 1509 by King Manuel I and later handed over, in 1530, to the sisters of St. 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 Architectural Heritage Intervention 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 to be established in the Algarve.

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

A charming retreat for those seeking a peaceful and history-filled stay.

Its proximity to the Gilão River, the Roman Bridge, and the embarkation dock 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.
