About this property

Historic & Emblematic - Convent of Bernardas

Historic building restored by Souto Moura, private parking, outdoor spaces, swimming pool and Salinas view

Located in the centre of Tavira, set within the historic and emblematic Convent of the Bernardas Condominium, which began as a monastery in 1509, until it was transformed into a factory in 1890. Steeped in history and cultural symbolism, this fantastic apartment for 4 people is situated in a century-old building reimagined and restored by architect Souto Moura to become a condominium. The Convent of the Bernardas P is the right choice for history and art enthusiasts, and for those seeking to rest and enjoy the excellent spaces and services of the Convent, namely the swimming pool.



This apartment with access to private outdoor parking is perfect for enjoying a relaxing and discreet holiday, with a fantastic view of the Salinas, and access to the swimming pools and garden outside the Convent. Private and secluded, here you will find all the rest you need, without losing proximity to points of interest such as the market and restaurants.



This modern and comfortable apartment comprises an open-plan kitchen and living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with a bathtub, the other with a shower), a pantry, a dressing room and a shared terrace. In the apartment, you will also have at your disposal a set of outdoor table and chairs that you can place in the courtyard to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. The accommodation provides Wi-Fi access, is 2.3 km from Tavira island beach and the nearest airport is about 30 minutes' drive away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Somewhere Special

If you want somewhere that little bit special, then look no further. Close to Tavira but an oasis of calm in a crazy world. As the Convent is not near to shops a welcome pack of basics would be welcome. I.e. water, bread, cheese, sandwich ham, fruit.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jan 2025
Dear Lonsdale, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We appreciate your suggestion about providing a welcome pack with basic items. We do have this service provide by our concierge, but we’ll consider implementing this idea has a complimentary service. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!
