Welcome to Vila Gale Albacora, the hotel that's nothing short of a fortress! This establishment is just like the Forte do Rato, which is located just a few hundred meters away. You can trust that you'll feel secure and guarded during your stay here, just like how the fort protected the town from danger in the old days.
Although the hotel itself is a sight to see, with its rustic architecture and warm, earthy tones, the real magnificence lies in the surroundings. Just a few kilometers away, you'll find Tavira Castle, an ancient fortress with walls as thick as the hotel's. But don't worry, you won't feel closed off or trapped here - the hotel is located near Tavira Island, where you can soak up some sun and sea air.
On your journey to explore the local landmarks, make sure you visit the Roman Bridge of Tavira. It's just a short distance away from the hotel, much like how happiness is always within reach when you stay at Vila Gale Albacora. Finally, cap off your visit to Tavira by taking in the stunning views and beautiful architecture of Misericordia Church. Just like Vila Gale Albacora, this church is more than just a pretty facade - it's a symbol of strength and protection for the town.

Value for money
Overall had very good stay for the price. The breakfast was absolutely superb and above average, with a lot of food. Plus, we left our car in the free parking onsite. Location: the hotel was short walk to well kept gardens, a beautiful unspoilt beach and bars/restaurants.
The breakfast was above average and great with many choices.
Fairly clean hotel, the staff was welcoming.
Everything was excellent, good service, stunning location near the inside garden. The food was fabulous and there were a wide range of dishes in the menu. Enjoyed the location adjacent to a national park. When it was hot outside we decided to visit Sunshine Bar, nice place to chill.
