🌟 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 granted to the Sisters of St. Bernard in 1530, nuns of the Cistercian Order.

The rehabilitation of this building earned Eduardo Souto de Moura, the architect, the Pritzker Prize and the European Prize for Architectural Heritage Intervention in 2017. Enjoy an exclusive atmosphere from its private outdoor patio, offering privileged views of the orange tree courtyard garden, the most recent and serene wing of this exemplary project.

Solid wood furniture and simple décor faithfully maintain the original design by the architect, providing the space with the ideal balance envisioned for the entire venture.
