🌟 The accommodation and the location

The Convent of the Bernardines, located in the heart of the charming Algarve city of Tavira, was commissioned in 1509 by King Manuel I and later assigned, in 1530, to the sisters of Saint Bernard, nuns of the Cistercian Order.

The solid wood furniture and simple decoration faithfully maintain the original design of the project's author, giving the space the true balance envisioned for the entire endeavor.
