The hotel has beautiful grounds. The rooms are comfortable and very traditional. The breakfast was fantastic with the best orange juice I have ever had, which they make from their own crop. A great stay with the family in Tavira.

We have stayed at the Quinta do Carcol several times and we love it. Each cottage is unique and well equiped and set in beautiful well kept gardens. The staff are all really friendly & helpful. Its an easy 10 minute walk walk into Tavira, a lovely Portugese town with lots of restaurants to choose from. We will definitely be back.

This was our favorite place in the Algarve! Not only is Tavira a lovely town, not so built up like all the others, but Quinta de Caracol is a soothing oasis. Yes, a bit of a walk into town but very doable but it's lovely, quiet, the rooms are each different and so comfortable. The grounds and small pool so wonderful for relaxation. And the two sisters who run it so kind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Like a country estate
Lots of places to sit by a fountain or in a garden. It felt like a stay at a country estate - only a 10-minute walk from town center. Loved the distant view of the sea from near the pristine tennis courts. A former family farm - there is still a small orange grove, chickens, a peacock, parakeets and even a family of guinea pigs much to my amusement and delight! Very clean, comfortably furnished. Wonderful breakfast - warm croissants, eggs cooked to order, plus much more! Great staff!

Great stay
We spent two brief but enjoyable nights at Quinta do Caracol at the end of November. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment and the space was great, clean and comfortable. There were two bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and great communal living area and kitchen. With a Lidl and Aldi both within walking distance it was convenient to pick up some groceries for breakfast and snacks for our stay. The property was serene with lots of water fountains, birds and orange trees. A very peaceful location and easily walkable to the city center, the location and value were perfect.

Amazing hotel in Tavira!!
This is the place to be in Tavira! The surroundings are maybe a little sketchy but once you enter the hotel you are in heaven. Very nice rooms/suites. Beautiful garden with a small pool. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. And the breakfast... an amazing assortment of all you might need (pastries, bread, cheese, eggs, fruits, etc) - and don't forget the orange juice. The best you will ever drink!

Charming Quinta
First trip to Tavira - we were out of season (poor weather in early March). Couldn't use pretty gardens or pool. Traditional Quinta charming, but needs some updates. Breakfast very good. Internet sporadic. Owners and staff very nice & helpful. Car drive to city center & good restaurants.

A great relaxing place
The Quinta do Caracal is a very cool relaxing place. The amenities are great and it is easy to walk to the historic area of Travira. The morning breakfast is superb. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely. The only negative was the pillows which were very hard.
