Colegio Charm House

Not a single thing we would change.

Beautiful and unique place with very attentive staff and superb breakfast, good location too. Can’t think of anything I didn’t like

Most of the staff has a strange affect. Not a lot of personality other than Sonia and we especially liked Christina who is in training

A wonderful experience from the staff greeting us, comfy beds with luxury linens to the lovely breakfasts. The Michelin

From our initial arrival to check out we were treated so well by all of the team. The breakfasts were delicious and presented so well. We enjoyed the Chef’s surprise dinner so much on our first night, that we booked a second dinner on another evening of our stay. The history of the property and the restoration to the boutique hotel it is today lends to a very cool vibe. The theme room we stayed in was a really neat experience and loved the amenities on the property as they had and different places to hang out and enjoy ourselves. I would definitely book another stay at the Colégio Charm House Maybe luggage racks and a bit more storage to hang clothes in the room would be helpful. With the dark walls in the room, the lighting could have been a bit better.

So charming and the staff is exceptionally attentive to our needs Nothing - everything was perfect

There wasn't anything not to like.

We stayed at Colegio Charm House for four nights and had an absolutely lovely experience. The building has been beautifully renovated, preserving the integrity and history of the original structure in a tasteful and elegant way. Every detail of the space is thoughtfully designed, with a clear sense of creativity and exceptional taste—kudos to the designer. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. They were warm, friendly, and down-to-earth, with none of the pretentiousness you sometimes find in boutique stays. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and looked after. The beds were extremely comfortable—and the sheets! The bedding was unbelievably luxurious and perfect for a restful night’s sleep. Our room was quiet, spotless, and very well maintained. I especially loved the all-day breakfast concept. It meant we could sleep in without feeling rushed, which made the experience even more relaxing. The breakfast and light daytime menu were delicious. While we didn’t dine there in the evening—since we wanted to explore restaurants around Tavira—we heard rave reviews from other guests. I would highly recommend staying here when visiting Tavira.

Fabulous breakfast wonderful friendly staff and a great location. Enjoyed the heated. Very comfortable room. Daily cake and shortbread hearts with turndown a lovely touch.

We arrived after a long drive and we were greeted with freshly made iced tea and homemade cake. The staff members were kind and welcoming, even the owner greeted us and asked about our stay. The grounds are beautiful and lovingly cared for. Free, secure parking was appreciated. An excellent breakfast (great coffee, juices and many options)was served each morning and we enjoyed eating outside on the patio - flexible breakfast times was a plus! Freshly baked cake was available each day in the late afternoon. The location was perfect for visiting the town center…if you are arriving by bus, the station is very nearby. A small heated pool is available but it was too chilly for us to swim this trip. Our room was in the converted chapel - it is small and the bathroom awkward with a very small stone sink - larger room options are available. A patio just outside our door was a bonus.

Very charming, quiet and close to catch the ferry

The location was great, 2 minute walk into the centro where bars, restaurants, shops and castle ruins are located. The staff are lovely and accommodating, the amenities such as the pool, rooftop area, the daily homemade cake in the reception area is delightful. The building itself is very charming. Breakfast is a highlight. I’m sorry to say we did not like our room at all. In fact we found it quite hazardous. We had a suite.It was a loft situation. The stairs leading up were actually quite creative, it was a bookcase, but the bookcase was also the stairs and they were steep. Going up and down with an inadequate handrail was very risky and dangerous in our opinion. Our age should have been taken into account when we were assigned that room. The main area of the room was very small and tight, not comfortable at all. With that being said, the decor was quite charming and I think they did the best they could with the space, but the room space and loft area are lacking.

Fantastic Stay. The Hotel is run by the owners. Each room has it own theme. Food was excellent! Perfect

Wonderful breakfast. Maria and all staff were wonderful. Nothing

Great location, clean and excellent restaurant, wonderful staff Nothing

The staff at the hotel was very helpful with accommodating people with food allergies....including delicious homemade desserts! Breakfast was wonderful (yogurt, homemade granola, honey, artisans breads, fresh fruit, local cheese, eggs, etc.) and served by incredibly friendly staff and owners. The parking area was under construction, but we felt safe accessing our car at night.

Staff are wonderful…We were often asked if there was anything they could do for us! Maria was exceptional at her job! Breakfasts were excellent…only improvement would be the Latte…more like coffee with milk. The room is simply beautiful…the sink is very small though! There were lots of refreshments to choose from in our room with special cookies delivered to us each evening! Each day there is a delicious cake in the lobby. We enjoyed a special delicious dinner in the lovely restaurant put on by their Michelin Chef. We were fortunate that the weather allowed us to use the lovely patio off our room…however was not nice enough to use their beautiful pool! The location is great! There is a lovely view of the city! There are lots of steps!

Not a thing. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way!

Beautiful hotel, very nice room. Staff was top notch and very friendly. The included breakfast cannot be missed! It was outstanding. Cocktail reception on our first night was a very nice touch. Didn't love the shower and small space of the bathroom. But we made it work!

Very small room - no light by sink in bathroom
