Fabulous

Wonderful hotel, fantastic staff, great restaurant, terrific bar and barman/mixologist, and sublime beach club accessed via the hotel car (5 minutes). Understated elegance and a Relais Chateau hotel fully justified.

Pousada Vila Real Santo Antonio

The Pousada de Vila Real de Santo António is located on the Praça Marquês de Pombal, located in the historic city centre. The welcoming modern ambience of the Pousada offers an open space where highlights include a restaurant with oven, a spacious lobby and personalised treatment. To really get into the laid-back spirit of the holidays, head to one of the 3 swimming pools, one of them on the rooftop and another surrounded by the Pousada’s interior garden. To start the day in the best possible way, we recommend a breakfast full of healthy local products, faithful to the concept of Pousadas de Portugal. The hotel rooms are modern, comfortable and equipped with an LCD TV and air conditioning, perfect for extended stays. Its proximity with Spain, its vast sandy beaches, golf courses and the Castro Marim Marshland Nature Reserve make the Pousada de Vila Real de Santo António the ideal accommodation for guests who value a peaceful and comfortable stay, while they explore the region, with its natural beauty and culture.

Absolutely excellent

Reviewed By David M

A beautiful use of the old building to create a modern, vibrant hotel that is extremely comfortable. The staff were all superb and could not have been more helpful. Parking is available not far from the hotel which is part of a most beautiful square designed by the Marquis de Pombal. The breakfast in the hotel was excellent. In the evening it is mainly a pizza restaurant. We also appreciated greatly the various complimentary gifts on arrival and in the room. Walking along the Guardia river bank is amazing! Shoals of fish!! We look forward to our return visits!

Horrible service

Reviewed By Max C

Horrible service, reservation was confirmed and canceled leaving us at midnight with no place to stay. Not to be trusted. A representative from booking.com called us to canceled the reservation promising to call back and find another place of equal value.... never called back leaving us with no place to stay, terrible service!

Residencia Matos Pereira

You can't ask for more for the price

Reviewed By Elena Q

The place is in a great location in the centre of Vilareal. Near the restaurants, shops and just 6 minutes from the beach by car. The lodgement is so clean and organised. Mrs. Fátima is an angel and a great professional. She gives you an experience that I have missed sometimes in 4 and 5 stars hôtels. She is the best asset for the business. Small rooms just to sleep and have a shower. The only thing is that beds are quite hard and noisy (Mrs Fátima also helped us with that) . But it is a good place to stay for a couple of days on your way.

Absolutely sublime!

Reviewed By JenL0709

Probably one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was amazing from the moment we arrived, such a warm welcome and explanation of the hotel and its history. Our room was lovely (superior suite by the pool) and very spacious, breakfast incredible and they organised a great massage for me. Staff so friendly and always willing to help in whatever way they can. We ate there one night and that was good, although a little pricey compared to other meals in the area. Only downside is that you need a car to get there and get to any restaurants or beaches but there are plenty of options within a short drive. Would 100% recommend and hope we can go back one day!
