Vidago Palace, a majestic five-star Belle Époque legend reborn since 1910, enchants with its storied splendor amid Trás-os-Montes' verdant parklands, where mineral springs' gentle secrets meet the hush of a bygone era's quiet grandeur.
The 85 light-filled rooms and suites unfold with graceful familiarity, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, LCD TVs, minibars, work desks, and opulent bathrooms with premium toiletries. Spacious seating areas invite contemplative repose, while select accommodations boast serene garden or mountain views, creating peaceful havens where the devoted staff ensures thoughtful details, from plush linens to personalized welcomes, fostering a sense of quiet belonging amid the estate's emerald hush. The hand-loomed rugs, elaborate tiling, and hand-painted walls whisper of the palace's illustrious past, restored with care by architects Álvaro Siza Vieira and his collaborators.
Dining across four venues celebrates regional bounty with fresh, local ingredients, offering a daily breakfast of sweet and savoury delights in the stylish main restaurant, savoured with views of the grounds. The spa bar and poolside bar and grill serve light bites and refreshments, while the wine cellar curates tastings of the region's famed exports, perfect for sunset reflections. Guests can immerse in curated experiences, from hydrotherapy with estate-grown essential oils to cultural discoveries, capturing Vidago's unhurried rhythm with effortless poise. The 24-hour concierge arranges bespoke outings, ensuring every moment feels like a cherished chapter in the palace's grand narrative.
Just 5 minutes' drive from Vidago's centre, steps from the championship golf course and mineral-water pavilions, and 80 kilometers from Porto International Airport with free private parking, Vidago Palace offers seamless access to the region's cultural treasures, complemented by a vanity pool, state-of-the-art spa with indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, Turkish bath, and beauty treatments for profound tranquility.
