팔라시오 드 타비라, 스몰 럭셔리 호텔 오브 더 월드

We had a quick 2 night stay at this amazing hotel as a treat for ourselves before we flew home after travelling from the western Algarve,Alvor, over to the east, ending up in Tavira. The hotel staff are a standout feature for us of this place. They are all very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble to ask. We are in the restaurant before we left and the food, especially the Tenderloin was spot on. Veriety and quality of the breakfast was great,they have a menu for cooked options but are happy to prepare any variant from the ingredients listed on that menu. There's bathrobes, slippers, beach and pool towels all of top quality in the room for you to use. As I nice touch there was a complimentary bottle of a very nice red wine for us as well as a nice glass bottle of water. Parking there can be an issue as the spots on the road as very limited and full up quickly. Luckily for us we managed to find spaces but the staff can direct you to a nearby carpark. We didn't use the spa so can't comment on that. It is a lovely and unique place right in the centre but also it remains a place of calmness and tranquility. It's is pricey but as a special treat to ourselves it was well worth it and would love to come back sometime and can hand on heart recommend it.
