Convento das Bernardas - Pátio das Laranjeiras
Property Details: REF: CONV-CH
AL: 160710 / AL
The Convent of the Bernardas, located in the heart of the charming Algarve city of Tavira, was commissioned in 1509 by King Manuel I and later granted to the Sisters of St. Bernard in 1530, nuns of the Cistercian Order.
The rehabilitation of this building earned Eduardo Souto de Moura, the architect, the Pritzker Prize and the European Prize for Architectural Heritage Intervention in 2017. Enjoy an exclusive atmosphere from its private outdoor patio, offering privileged views of the orange tree courtyard garden, the most recent and serene wing of this exemplary project.
Solid wood furniture and simple décor faithfully maintain the original design by the architect, providing the space with the ideal balance envisioned for the entire venture. The Convent of the 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 within this zone that this apartment is integrated.

The property itself was charming and the service was all great. BUT, we were in space "CH" which was not in the main building and turned out to be right next to a kids summer camp which had screaming music and loud music from 8.30am to 6.30pm every weekday. This should have been flagged in advance as no way we would have booked otherwise.
