The Convent of Bernardas, located in the heart of the charming Algarve city of Tavira, was commissioned to be built in 1509 by King Manuel I and subsequently assigned, in 1530, to the sisters of São Bernardo, nuns of the Cistercian Order.
The rehabilitation of this building earned Eduardo Souto de Moura, an architect, the Pritzker Prize. The 2017 European Prize for Intervention in Architectural Heritage. Enjoy an exclusive atmosphere from its private outdoor patio, with privileged views of the courtyard garden of orange trees, the newest and most serene wing of this exemplary project.
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. The Convent of Bernardas, also known as the Monastery of Our Lady of Mercy, was the first convent established in the Algarve.
Divided into two areas, the Orange Tree Courtyard is the most privileged, and it is in this area that this apartment is integrated.

Complexo já por nós conhecido há muitos anos e de agrado. Desta vez optamos por uma casa diferente (habitualmente ficamos nas "salinas") - boa localização (talvez a melhor do Convento) com pátio exterior grande e relvado c/ piscina secundária em frente.
Piscina principal com a qualidade habitual.
Facilidade na recolha das chaves à chegada em horário mais tardio.
