Fabulous authentic experience cooking dinner with Inez! The location is amazing with a stunning view over Tavira and out to sea. We were welcomed by Inez and there followed a relaxed informative and fun few hours preparing a three course meal. Each course was simple but delicious and we were guided gently through the techniques by Inez whilst she passed on a wealth of information about Portuguese gastronomy . Dinner outside under the starts in the beautiful garden was delightful. We can't wait for our next visit. Thank you for making it so special.

If you are not familiar with Fado as a musical art form, then this is a great introduction. A short history of Fado is provided by way of a short film, followed by stirring live performances of several pieces of music, some soulful, some very upbeat - all of them from the hearts of the three very talented musicians. Very intimate venue, well worth the 8 euro pp admission fee. Highly recommended.

A visit to Blossom is a must for any visitor to Tavira. Ron has captured some fantastic views from across the Algarve, and is always happy to have a chat and eager to share his knowledge. We recently purchased one of Ron's landscape shots, printed on ChromaLuxe (high-gloss on aluminium) and couldn't be happier. Great to have a piece of the Algarve in our home! We couldn't recommend Blossom highly enough.

Ermida de Sao Sebastiao

Reviewed By davidwilliambarnes - Blackpool, United Kingdom

Another beautiful whitewashed building in the parish of Santiago, Tavira. Built around 1723 and partly restructured in 1745 the chapel has a wonderful side and main chapel depicting classical art. There are a series of canvases with the life of São Sebastião - the paintings were executed by a local artist called Diogo Mangino. One of the better Church buildings in the area.
