The hotel is really quite nice. The rooms are equipped functionally, but with great taste and really clean. The bathroom could need a makeover, though. The owner provides a nice breakfast on the roof terrace, which alone is a reason to stay at this place. I only found annoying that when we arrived nobody was at reception and nobody picked... More

From being collected by Miguel at the airport, right through to him driving us back to the airport at the end of our 5 night stay, everything was perfect. Rooms were clean, bright and comfortable, modern decoration, tv, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities. Good size bathroom with full size bath and a proper shower. Aircon worked well if a... More

We have stayed at the Residencial Por do Sol many times now and we are never disappointed. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and we always receive a very warm welcome from Miguel and Nicolette, they are always happy to help. Breakfast on the roof terrace is a great way to start the day. The hotel is in a good... More

The first impression was set by the proprietors Miguel and Nicolette who are wonderfully welcoming - good quiet and convenient location, just 10 minutes from the town centre, even though it is on the edge of undeveloped land. The room was large, simply furnished and decorated, well-appointed and comfortable, with a view over the river and distant salt pans (pretty... More

Simple, well located, enjoyable and nicely decorated. And clean. Not easy to find first time round and when we got there there was nobody to open the door: no answer to the doorbell, neither to the phone calls. Presumably the couple running the place were in their restaurant a bit further down the road. Looks distinctly undistinguishable from the outside,... More

Neighborhood looks a little seedy but its fine, no issues. Easy on street parking nearby.The owners, Miguel and Nicolette, are very nice and helpful. we... More

We stayed there for 4 days in June of 2011, and enjoyed the inn and town so much we came back for 4 more days at the end of our trip to Portugal. The inn is clean and comfortable, the rooftop continental breakfast lovely, and the host and his family wonderful to deal with. They recommended an excellent local bike... More

We stayed over for one night while on our way to Seville from Faro. It was an excellent choice, taking about 40 minutes to get from the airport, and with on street parking. We arrived late at night and wished we had taken better directions on finding the hotel !! However, we met some helpful locals who helped us to... More

Very convenient location in nice section of Tavira close to several excellent restaurants. Helpful and knowledgeable owner Miguel speaks several languages including perfect English. Cozy and clean room, good breakfast on rooftop terrace. Would definitely like to stay there again.
