Calçada Guesthouse - B&B and Co-living/Working space

The guest house was perfect——clean, comfortable sunny room. Excellent bed and pillows. Charming rooftop terrace and communal areas. Superb healthy breakfast|Steps from the roman bridge, in the middle of town. Ferry to the beach was 5 minute walk.|The staff at the guesthouse were wonderful, especially Sangita, who looked after and followed up on every interest and need. She was an exceptional hostess!

This guesthouse is very central in Tavira, close to the Roman bridge and easy to walk to the bus station and ferry for Tavira island.||Sangita and her team are a credit to this guesthouse. We arrived late in the evening and messaged when we left the airport, so we were met on arrival. This does incur a €30 charge, but not a problem when the stay was such good value for money.||Our room was clean, comfortable and we had a lovely wet room, with an excellent shower.||Breakfast each day was amazing. You had a bowl of chopped fresh fruits, yoghurt, muesli, toast and preserves, croissant and ham and cheese. Fresh juice and tea or coffee. More than enough to set you up for the day. The first day we had breakfast up on the roof terrace, but due to the wasps that wanted to share our breakfast, we decided to have breakfast in the lounge area for the rest of our stay.||There is an incline to walk to the guesthouse but it is not a long way up and my husband who is asthmatic was ok with it. ||I researched a lot of accommodation before booking this and while we were here, we saw some of the hotels I considered, which were further from the centre and more expensive, so we definitely made the right choice.||The staff are so friendly and work so hard and the accommodation is superb. If we return to Tavira, I won't hesitate to book here again.

Very nice guesthouse with good parkings nearby. Comfortable room, good beds and good bathroom with shower. Very clean. Good and fresh breakfast with fresh fruit etc. Good coffee!! Excellent and very friendly staff. Thanks for a very pleasant stay very close to the centre, Lucia and Marco

I think, from reading reviews, we were expecting a little more, but there were a number of positives: great location, quiet, comfy bed, efficient air conditioning unit in the room, use of coffee machine, use of a shower room which was available as we couldn't check out later than 11:00 but still wanted to go to the beach before we got our flight. There was also a roof space with a fridge, which was handy.|Not so great was that the room was quite small, and the bathroom didn't have a window, so tended to smell a bit musty, especially the shower curtain, which wasn't so pleasant. The air con was rarely on in the guest house, just a small inefficient fan, so it wasn't comfortable sitting in the communal area. Although staff seemed friendly enough, we were never given any helpful or accurate information/advice regarding ferries to the beach, getting around, markets, directions etc, so just had to figure things out ourselves or speak to other guests. There were only ever staff around in the morning, but never in the afternoon or evening. Towels were rarely changed (we were there for a week) and were taken away daily to dry out, but when brought back, we didn't know which one to use as they were both the same. | I think this place is a great option for a short stay, mostly owing to its location, but it isn't cheap for what it is.

All the great things everyone else has said was our experience as well. We loved this place-the eclectic and thoughtful decor, the homey but elevated feel of it, the delicious breakfast and the quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Clearly this place attracts a certain kind of traveler who appreciates design, quiet, comfort and sustainability. To sit on the roof deck terrace with coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, overlooking this beautiful ancient city, is really a peak experience.

Rossana and Calçada Guesthouse were amazing. This stay was the most incredible part of our trip to Portugal. The hotel was gorgeous and everyone was so kind and helpful. We can't wait to come back!

Fantastic guest house - more like a small boutique hotel. The staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We will hopefully be back next year - thanks to you all for making our time with you so special! A & E

A superb, well equipped and well located guesthouse. Super clean, and very comfortable room. The breakfasts were wonderful, as was the tea and coffee freely available all day. Lots of little details which make your stay very enjoyable. As mentioned by others, Sangita was very helpful, as were the other staff we met, all a credit to the establishment. I will most definitely be recommending Calcada to all my friends!
