Vidago Palace Hôtel *****

Location

It is at the edge of the woods and mountains that the Vidago Palace Hotel ***** unveils its incredible ochre red Art Deco façade, in the heart of the historic natural province of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro. As a sublime wine-growing region, Haut Doura is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its landscapes like no other on earth depict shale slopes as far as the eye can see, sublimely shaped by the constant sunlight.

However, before facing this architectural jewel of the 1910s, take a stroll along the main avenue, walking through an authentic 110-hectare park that has preserved its original features. Get ready to embark on a journey through time and project yourself a few centuries back, because the hotel will take you through the steps of its kingdom, like an invitation to enter a magical world.

The beautiful city of Porto and its international airport can be reached in a 1 hour and 10 minutes’ drive, a long enough time for you to be able to catch a glimpse of the region’s beauty, accompanied by your driver (transfer service on request, child’s car safety seat).

Description

Long renowned for its thermal baths, this ancient century-old country house derives its name from the Vidago Thermal Park wherefrom it takes root. History buffs should note that the hotel was built under the orders of King Carlos I to compete with the largest luxury spas in Europe.

A perfect definition of a palace, Vidago stands out for its enchanting decor coupled with high-end services and an atmosphere that is both elegant and rustic. Its timeless spa and unique golf course, designed by the famous architect, Philip Mackenzie Ross, are alone worth the international renown of this ideal base for families who seek after comfort and luxury.

It is therefore only natural that the hotel defines itself today as « one of the most romantic and emblematic tourist destinations in the northern region of Portugal ».
