Superb location and friendly staff who made sure to accommodate special requests since the very beginning. The room was quite simple, but exactly how it looks at the pictures; minor maintenance needed. Bed was surprisingly more comfortable than it appeared to be. Good Wi-Fi connection too. Breakfast served in the coffee area downstairs, with a wide variety of pastry. Overall, a good value for money - you get what you pay - and definitely a good fit for a night or two!

Beautiful place with the best view. The room was big enough, with beautiful bathroom and also bathtub in the room. The bed was very comfortable and again with a fantastic view. There is also a little terrace where you can just sit and sip your glass of wine while enjoying the view of the mountains. Every morning we had a fantastic breakfast with everything you can think of (sweet pastry and cakes, eggs, cheese, hams, fruit, yougurts, bread....). Bruno, the host, is very nice and very helpful. He also recommended us places around which we could visit.
We would definitely recommend this accomodation and would love to come back again.

The location was the best but you cannot go for walks - the location is best for visiting Mateus. It is outside the town.
The dining room has classical interior but what spoils it is a large tv screen blaring out programmes like in a motorway restaiurant

Breakfast was lovely!
Breakfast was lovely! All locally produced foods, eggs cheese and bread! Fresh orange juice! We had no tv in our room ( some rooms do have tv’s) but this wasn’t a big deal! Would have appreciated another mirror-in the main bedroom as the the bathroom had the only one but again we managed. I had my tablet so accessed everything I needed on that. The honesty shop sold wine beer bread and snacks at vey reasonable prices! Ginas restaurant down the road was great and very cheap

Vila Real is at the top of the mountains in the Douro Region. It has extremely beautiful views, the city is nice and it has a lot of nature around it. You have many restaurants with typical food that are cheap. If you like eating, wine and mountains it's a perfect stay.

Other than a nice central church (Sé) and half a dozen historical buildings which can be seen in a couple of hours, Vila Real is one of the least interesting cities in Portugal, with a very ugly and disordinate built environment. Most buildings from the 70's and 80's with poor design.
The 'must see' item is by far the Palácio MATEUS on the outskirts of the city (in Mateus on the South entrance to Vila Real), an architectural masterpiece and an iconic place full of history and a beatiful setting.

One of Portugal's nicest regions, close to the fantastic Douro Valley and thus to lots of interesting wineries, but also far enough away from that valley so as to have good road connections (the Douro Valley is all winding secondary or tertiary roads, and it takes forever to drive any given distance). Finally, super-close to the charming Mateus Palace.
The location is beautiful and so peaceful. We stayed in a spacious and well-equipped self-catering stone casa. The grounds are extensive and very well maintained. The swimming pool is superb and so quiet and relaxing. The maps provided to us when we checked in were brilliant - we were able to explore the Douro and the Parque Natural do Alvão by car, as well take the riverside walk into the town of Vila Real. We self catered, but we made good use of the "Honesty Shop" at reception for local produce.
The staff were extremely kind and helpful and the property was absolutely gorgeous. Arriving at the property felt like coming home. We were surrounded by greenery and life. It was so calm and beautiful. The lodging itself was so nice, spacious, and historic. If I came back to Portugal, I would 100% stay here but for a month instead!!!
This is a very comfortable big room in the town centre of Vila Real, near restaurants, the river, and stores. Perfect if you want a quiet space as well. The room is big, and the mattress is very good. Because the rooms are on the top floor it's very quiet during the evening, you don't hear any noise from the streets.
I felt like being at home with my family ready to help me. The owners were so nice that they even drove me daily to the event location.
The location is brand new. The place is calm and cozy. If I will ever need to come back to Vila Real, I will definitely book here again.
It was nice that the breakfast was included even though the room was quite cheap. There are special parking places for the hotel guests right next to the reception. Everything was very clean and the check in was flexible and available until late in the evening.
the rooms were amazing, and the pool was perfect🥺🥹❤️
we booked this place by minutes bc before this place we were supposed to stay at some creepy hotel , we got away from the creepy hotel and got here, this is such a perfect place to stay🥰❤️
It was unique staying in a mansion that had the several additions making it more into a hotel. It is in an the top of the town but still walkable to the city center, we did a causal walk and it took maybe 20th minutes to get to.
Lovely hotel right in the center on the city, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and gave us advice on where to eat and visit. We had a room with amazing views over the valley and river.
The staff was really kind and respectful but the room was not so good. It was too small there were some shortages which are necessary for any hotel. For example there was no hand-washing liquid, no sandals etc.
new hotel with a very very nice view! owner recommended a very good reastaurant. nice, big and clean rooms. breakfast was good. the pool is great! recommend.
