    All coffees have sugar in them.

    Unique little oasis in the small City of Tavira. You will be immersed in the character and attention to detail of its ecosystem. Breakfasts were delicious. Poor is charming.

    Lovely surroundings, beautiful garden with nice swimming pool; Apartment was very basic but clean and comfy. Extremely nice receptionist and very good breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay.

    It all went very well - pretty location with plenty of little spaces to sunbathe and relax. Full of nature! The apartment size was just right for us - 2 people. And enjoyed the quirkiness of the buildings. Nice walk into the main town and handy to be near supermarkets. We thought the staff were superb and very helpful! waiting up for us when our plane was very delayed and all the staff on the reception and at breakfast were really nice.

    The noise of the road next to the Quinta, but it never bothered us much.

    We were pleasantly surprised by a detached, very spacious apartment. Excellent for our family. Good airconditioning. Breakfast was great with delicious pastei de nata and very friendly staff.

    Everything was excellent!

    I will dream about this beautiful property for years to come. It is beautiful, old,charming ,quiet and unique. We loved our room with kitchenette and my adult son had his sleeping alcove. The grounds were amazing and the breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice perfect. Just a short walk to town and very close to grocery stores. The owners were welcoming and helpful. I could live there!

    Some minor things could be renewed (some tables or chairs).

    Awesome place. Even though you are in town, it feels like being somewhere on the landside. Very beautiful gardens and structures, feeling like in an agriturismo but only a 10min walk from Taviras Roman Bridge. Solid breakfast, friendly staff.

    - Quinta is a former small rural property located in the heart of the city– its a combination of the best of the both worlds. The property is beautiful–it's an oasis in the middle of the city. - The staff is super friendly and helpful. The owner lives in the property and is super attentive to customer needs. - Breakfast is good- it doesn't feel like a pasteurised hotel experience.

    The room was faultless - but as we were on foot and the temperature was in the high 20s, the walk into town was a little daunting at times.

    Quirky but impressive former farm - now converted into comfortable, self-catering accommodation. Interesting grounds with water features. Close to railway station, supermarket and a few cafes. Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Twelve minute walk into town centre. Breakfast very good on both mornings.

    The Quinta do Caracol is at the edge of the built-up part of Tavira, about a ten-minute walk from the town center. We enjoyed the walk to and from the center, especially as one route to town took us through a residential area and the other through an area with small shops and cafés. Still, visitors with limited mobility might like to take account of the distance from the Quinta do Caracol to the center of Tavira. Parking is available at the Quinta. The town of Tavira has a very large parking area, but that is perhaps five minutes on foot from the town center. The Quinta is close to the Tavira railway station, which is servehd several times a day by local trains to Faro.

    My wife and I always enjoy visiting Tavira: we find that it offers both traditional "character" and contemporary comforts (such as a wide range of good restaurants). This year we found that in a similar manner the Quinta do Caracoli provides contemporary comforts (in this case, modern bathrooms, well equipped kitchens, effective heating, etc.) in a delightful setting of traditional buildings and luxuriant gardens. More specifically, while we really appreciated our apartment's modern shower enclosure, full range of kitchen equipmen t, very good WiFi and comfortable bed, we were also very pleased with the traditional design of the apartment -- white walls, massive tile floors, solid wood doors, dark wooden furniture. The massive walls ensured peace-and-quiet, and the spacious layout and abundant closets added to the feeling of comfort. Moreover, our room was nicely serviced each morning. We were delighted by the mature trees and plants in the garden, by the winding paths, by the flowering plants and by the fountains. There were numerous places to sit in the garden as well as some tables.

    We both showered but hot water ran out for me, which was strange because I showered first.

    Location was good, approximately 10 minutes walk to downtown. We also had breakfast which offered variety of items; we had bacon and eggs, tea and pastries. There was also cereal, yogurt, fruit, cheese, etc. We only stayed one night and it suited our needs as we only showered and sleep after sightseeing all day. The property looked very nice and I’m sure if you stayed in the summer/peak season it would be beautiful!
