“What this guesthouse lacks in modern polish, it makes up for with its central Tavira location and genuinely kind owners. The shared terrace shines, especially at night, proving a perfect spot for stargazing. Dining at their restaurant is a must, if only for the memorable pudim de figo e medronho.”
