Hotel Dengan Kolam di Daerah Vila Real, Portugal

We found here the peaceful days we needed. We were welcomed by a dedicated team. All the experience was truly good, from the comfortable room, the amazing dinner experience to both pools and the excellent breakfast. We took this opportunity to visit Pena Aventura park (5 minutes walk) where you can try new activities (some very adventurous ones). These 2 entities, although not connected, work in a symbiotic way and it's a very nice experience for guests. We will return for sure 👌🏼

I went to Chaves and decided to stay at this hotel because another one was no longer available. It turned out to be an excellent decision. The rooms are good; the common areas are very good; the availability and friendliness of the staff is impeccable; and they were kind enough to offer me breakfast, which wasn't included in the booking. What's more, the price is fair, especially considering the quality of the space and the services. Congratulations! You've won a customer.

I don't know where to start really. The whole experience at Vidago Palace was truly perfect. From every member of staff, food in all the restaurants/bar, bedrooms where I had the best 4 nights sleep that I had in ages, the grounds and the excursions. If you want a special holiday or short escape, visit here. You won't be disappointed.

No es un hotel PET FRIENDLY aunque se vendan que sí. Cobran 30€/noche por mascota y no puede estar en ninguna estancia del hotel, solo en la habitación. Atención por parte de la recepcionista del momento de la llegada muy mala. Spa muy pequeño (piscina, pequeño jacuzzi, sauna y un par de duchas frías). Zona de la piscina exterior buena aunque está todo cubierto alrededor de césped artificial y se calienta mucho y resulta desagradable caminar por él. Buen servicio en esa zona del hotel, tienen una pequeña carta de comida y te la sirven directamente en la zona de piscina. Habitación pequeña, el baño no tiene puerta solo cortina, poco armario y zona donde dejar maletas escasa. Cama grande muy cómoda, cama supletoria muy muy incómoda. Situación del hotel privilegiada, zonas donde comer y cenar cerca y varias tiendas de alimentación.

I’ve never been so confused and lost in a hotel until this stay. I was unable to figure out how to find reception or my room or get anywhere! Part of the reason is because no staff member initially explained how to get to my room—taking one elevator down then going across a hallway and taking another elevator up. It’s a crazy hotel design. I felt like the hotel was understaffed during my visit. I stayed as a part of a tour group. The restaurant food was fantastic. The presentation was beautiful. Don’t skip dessert; it was fabulous. Our tour guide interpreted from Portuguese to English so we did not have the problems with the staff members as other reviewers have mentioned. Breakfast lay out was very nice. The grounds are beautiful. My room overlooked the valley and the pool. It had a small balcony. I opened the sliding glass door in the morning, and I listen to the sounds of birds. It was very calm and peaceful. The Jacuzzi was not heated. That was a big disappointment. The indoor pool was a great warm temperature – it might’ve been warmer than the Jacuzzi. The interior pool area is all black, and it is difficult to swim for exercise because you can’t see when the wall is coming up. It feels like you’re in a burnt out building. I don’t know why they selected that color scheme. It is very dark. The gym was very minimal with only a few pieces of equipment. See my photo. There is a small museum on the grounds but it’s all in Portuguese. All the television channels were in Portuguese. The Internet worked well. As others have mentioned, the room layout is very odd. It is always damp because your shower and bathtub are kind of near the bed with no separation. I did not see any mold in my room as other reviewers reported. The room was large but a big portion was unusable at the entrance separated by a wooden slat wall. There is no reading light above the bed so reading before sleep is impossible. There is no make up mirror, and the hairdryer is a basic model, which takes a very long time to actually dry your hair. There were no areas to hang your bathing suit to dry . This was extremely frustrating since the hotel has two pools. I wasn’t here long enough to go exploring, but I could see an old church up the hill. This hotel is OK for one or two nights if you get a good rate.

Great place to stay in the thermal NorthEast region of Portugal. Well located, has an amazing staff, always clean with a slight flower aroma in the air. Didn't have the opportunity to try the pools (indoor or outdoor) but had a great relaxing massage. And it's just a 2-minute walk to the thermal spa. I'll be back for sure.

We spent a night here during a cycle tour. The location of the hotel and its surroundings create a feeling of space and being close to nature. Rooms are well equipped and comfortable, and the view from the balcony across woodland looks and feels very relaxing. The hotel is modern and cleverly designed, often giving the impression that you are one of a small number of guests before it becomes clear at breakfast that there are many more visitors than you had imagined. I’d like to make particular mention of the staff who looked after us superbly at dinner.

I was stunned by this hotel. Set in rural Portugal, near the Spanish border, this spa resort is beautiful. Very modern, clean, well equipped throughout, incredibly welcoming staff and superb food in the restaurant. The hotel is the perfect mix of old and new as it is set on an old vineyard, with modern extensions which complement the original 1700's building. Outside the back side is a huge stone terrace which extends the whole width of the 1700's original building with views of the mountains and spa pool and beautiful gardens. The old part of the hotel is magnificent, but we also enjoyed the comfort of our modern room which had a huge terrace overlooking the valley. Everyone working there was friendly and efficient, and the owner spoke English perfectly. I would really recommend this place to anyone visiting northern Portugal. It made for a great relaxing break for my older parents in there 80’s to relax and enjoy the slower pace from Lisbon and before moving on to Porto on a 12 day vacation. The attention to detail and 'nothing's a problem' attitude from everyone we come into contact with is just exceptional. The breakfast is plentiful and has a great selection. We were very happy with the breakfast which offered a large variety of fruit and breads, cheese, ham, several types of jam, as well as cereal and yogurt. The evening meals are so good that you can't stop eating! The manager/owner, Fernando, is the most gracious host that will attend to your every need, while assuring your quality experience is filled with lasting memories and a strong desire to return again. In the evenings we dined in the hotel restaurant. Fernando was truly a phenomenal host, who made us feel welcome. On one of the evenings, he started us off with local sausages and cheese along with some local port from the local vineyard. He made excellent recommendations for our wines and did not disappoint with his selections. The food was delicious. We ate there every night for 4 nights, and everything kept meeting and exceeding our expectations. The beef is something that the region is known for, and it was delicious. Fernando also took us on a tour of the impressive 17th century wine making that uses filtration and gravity. The preservation of the original wine making is located in the lower area that is used for wedding receptions and large parties. The way it is incorporated into the new modern areas was impressive. I will be visiting Portugal in the future and will be re-visiting Fernando's Hotel Rural Casas Novas. We truly enjoyed our stayed here while we visited local vineyards, Chaves and Peneda-Geres National Park.

Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans cet hôtel et avons apprécié notre séjour. L’hôtel est moderne, élégant , confortable et très calme . La propreté est irréprochable. Les chambres sont spacieuses, alliant modernité et tradition avec pierres apparentes et boiseries. La literie est vraiment très confortable. Nous y avons parfaitement bien dormi . Le petit-déjeuner est très correct. Nous avons dîné au restaurant de l’hôtel et nous avons été conquis par la qualité des plats et le service très professionnel des serveurs ainsi que par leur grande gentillesse et précieux conseils . Merci à eux, notamment de nous avoir parlé français, ce qui a été une valeur ajoutée à leur service extrêmement soigné. Nous recommandons l’hôtel et le restaurant +++et y reviendrons avec plaisir

Dreamy hotel and park. Friendly staff and very well maintained. Breakfast was good as well. It’s a wonderful experience to stay there for a few days. Interior of the regular cabin could be improved design-wise but it’s not really a negative. 5/5 stars 👍👍

We booked a one night stay the Forte de Sao Francisco en route between Santander and the Algarve, The public rooms and bedroom are in a tastefully restored old fort. Excellent dinner and breakfast. Plenty of parking close to reception and the rooms. The staff are amazing and could not be more friendly and helpful. Where this hotel went the extra mile for us was my wife left her favorite coat in the room when we checked out The receptionist arranged for the coat t be couriered to our holiday home in southern Portugal, and then would not allow us to reimburse them with the cost, How's that for service ? We will certainly be using the Forte de Sao Francisco when we next visit Chaves, and would unreservedly recommend this lovely hotel to other travelers looking for accommodation in northern Portugal.

The hotel was excellent. The staff were professional and friendly. The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. The pool area is nice and plenty of sun beds. I used the spa and Sonia was a fantastic masseuse. The food in the hotel really tasty - dinner and breakfast. The only reason I didn’t give this a five rating was that the balcony floor in our room is dangerous. The spacing in the decking is too wide and the chair I was on fell though the gap - giving me a nasty bruise. The hotel staff responded very quickly to repair the floor but not interested in my well being

As the name implies the hotel is right by the castle and within easy walking distance of the sights and the Roman bridge. Parking is available immediately under the hotel with a lift. Our bedroom 105 was large, comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was good. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. Very good value at €85 b&b.
