We are proud to present this unique townhouse in Convento das Bernardas, a former nunnery monastery, in a prime location in the centre of Tavira. There are only 10 townhouses in the area and only one has changed hands before, so this is truly a unique offering. In what used to be the nuns' orange grove is this 2-storey townhouse. The lower level has a spacious living room and fully equipped open-plan kitchen. Storage room and a guest bathroom complete. Directly outside a private terrace overlooking the swimming pool and the green garden with all the orange trees. This part of the Convento is characterised by a tranquillity as there are so few houses sharing the pool and garden. Upstairs 2 double-bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with both a bath and a spacious shower. All floors in the house have handmade Santa Catarina tiles for maximum charm. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning for both cooling and heating. Within the Convento there is a large pool area which you also have full access to. Private parking space in carport. The area is also gated so no unauthorised persons can enter. This is the perfect property for those who want to live a life in peace and quiet but at the same time have all services within easy walking distance. It is also an attractive property to rent out for all or part of the year. The house must be experienced on site so do not hesitate to contact us for your personal viewing. Convento das Bernardas also known as the Convent of Nossa Senhora da Piedade de Tavira, began to be built in 1509 as a thanksgiving for the lifting of the Moorish siege of Arzila in the same year. The building was completed in 1528 and in 1530 it was handed over to the nuns of the Cicstercian order. The buildings were damaged in the earthquake of 1755 and by fire in 1863, one year earlier, in 1862, the monastery had been dissolved and all its assets had been transferred to the state. In the years that followed, the remaining buildings served as a mill, bakery, barbershop and headquarters for the Tavira Cycling Club. In 2009, exactly 500 years after the Convention was built, the reconstruction of the ruins began.
