O alojamento tem uma localização perfeita, na praça principal de Vila Real de Santo António. O edifício está muito bem remodelado, a decoração é muito bonita, e o quarto era muito confortável. A sala do pequeno almoço é muito agradável, a comida tinha óptima qualidade. O ambiente é relaxado e acolhedor. E os funcionários muito simpáticos e disponíveis .
O facto de não ter sido possível almoçar nem jantar no hotel em nenhuma das noites foi a parte menos positiva. O quarto também poderia ser um pouco mais espaçoso.
Emplacement central
Salle de douche un peu” fatiguée”
L9calizaçao e pequeno almoço
Quarto muito pequeno. Nao tinha nem 1 cadeira, nem mesa ou secretaria, nem armario. Ficava num 1 andar alto sem elevador.
Замечательный отель, были с собачкой, ей дали в подарок разный корм и ей понравился, хотя она очень редко ест что-то новое. Нам принесли тарелку фруктов. Бассейном воспользоваться не успели, но в номере сразу были полотенца для бассейна, тапочки и халаты. Расположение центральное.
Todo. Piscina, terraza, servicio
For the last 5 years, we have been staying in this hotel and we love everything. We will keep returning. This year our room was great. Location, staff and breakfast are very good.
A Localização é incrível mesmo na praça principal de Vila Real de Santo António. Os funcionários são mesmo muito atenciosos e prestativos. O quarto também é muito confortável.Também gostei muito das piscinas, são pequenas mas são muito tranquilizantes.
O facto de o mini frigorífico não funcionar bem. Não ter estacionamento no hotel. E também de ter muito poucas opções vegan no restaurante.
A localização central na zona de restauração e comercial de Vila Real de Santo António.
O quarto não tinha uma varanda exterior. Não existe uma zona para secar o fato de banho. O frigobar é muito fraco o que não refresca o suficiente qualquer coisa que seja colocada dentro. Falta de estacionamento.
Gostei imenso da hospitalidade dos funcionários. Muito prestáveis e educados.
Não gostei de ter chegado à hora do check in e ter que aguardar meia hora para poder entrar no quarto pois ainda estavam a limpar. O facto de ter ficado num outro edifício e não no que agendei por haver falta de quartos e não ter havido essa informação no sistema. Acho muito pouco competente a falta dessa informação pelo valor bem acima da média que paguei. Por esta razão, não repetirei a experiência nem recomendo.
Conforto e decoração.
Acesso difícil para a bagagem.
La cama fabulosa y el edificio muy bonito
La ubicación es perfecta, los recepcionistas un encanto. Muchos detalles de bienvenida y muy bien pendientes de todo
A tv parou de funcionar durante 3 dias, os quarto so eram limpos as 15/16h, desorganização no pequeno almoço e nao nos serviram almoço
Good location. Spotless cleaning. Excellent bed and room place.
Some maintenance details (door of bathroom, for example) and room minibar with no minimum quality. Quality of breakfast ingredients should be better curated (local bread and cheese, or local fruits) for a place (Pousada de Portugal) which should avoid “industrial products” but instead show the best of Portugal’s each region.
Todo el personal del hotel, recepción, limpieza y camareros son excelentes. La ubicación es perfecta y a pesar de estar en la plaza puedes descansar sin problemas.
El suelo y las ventanas de la habitación podían estar más limpios. Así como zonas comunes de ambos edificios. Y la piscina a pesar de estar bien, el agua se notaba un poco turbia.
Niet de naam pousada waardig, slecht !
Niet de naam pousada waardig, te druk bij ontbijt, personeel kon niet volgen, tafels en stoelen vies en vuil, Veel lawaai van de airco. Alle u its stonden op ons terras waardoor het onmogelijk was om met het raam open te slapen, geen samenhangend geheel, wij sliepen in een ander gebouw dan het hoofd gebouw!
Beautiful small hotel. It is a recovered building from the Pombaline era. Location is amazing, right on the main city square. Decoration is quite nice and the rooms are comfortable. Staff is attentive and very nice.
The quality and variety of the breakfast can be improved. It is common to arrive and find that the white cheese is gone or that there are not so many fruits. The way butter is served is also strange as it is left in the open air. Breakfast can be crowded which is understandable.
La ubicación excelente !
Lo céntrico que era y su buen aire acondicionado
La dificultad para acceder en coche. La piscina pequeña y sucia. E interior. La habitación en planta baja con acceso a la calle visual

La ubicación es excelente, así como la decoración e instalaciones del hotel. El personal es muy amable y el desayuno es fabuloso.
Creo que el precio es algo elevado.
Sehr nettes und hilfreiches Personal. Sehr sauber und,sehr gute Lage in Vila Real
Muy incómoda y durísima la cama supletoria
Os funcionários e o quarto
A falta de estacionamento
The pools were fantastic, always able to get a subbed it never felt too busy. Staff were friendly and chatty. Really good feel.
Everything was great
O hotel é muito bonito e agradável, a localização é perfeita, na praça mais central de Vila Real de Santo António. Não só pudemos passear a pé para os principais locais e beira mar, como também pudemos assistir ao movimento da cidade, às festas organizadas na praça, o que tornou a estadia ainda mais agradável. O pequeno almoço é muito bom e os produtos têm boa qualidade. O quarto estava muito limpo e bem localizado, com acesso praticamente direto à piscina. A zona da piscina é muito confortável e, como estava muito calor durante a nossa estadia, poder usufruir da piscina e do espaço fresco à volta foi muito refrescante. O pessoal é muito amável e prestável.
Apesar da estadia ter sido muito boa, teria sido ainda melhor se houvesse maior oferta de refeições para além do pequeno almoço. A única opção disponível para o almoço eram tostas mistas. Ainda assim aceitámos e pedimos, mas o serviço demorou tanto tempo que acabámos por cancelar, para podermos ir comer a outro sítio, o que nos impediu de usufruir da piscina com maior conforto.

It was central and very clean staff were pleasant
We had a downstairs room which was on the street literally with a door and a window. We were not able to open the door or window for security reasons a d from the noise of the streets at night and morning. Street cleaners and bin men started early hours. People in square were chatting etc at night although not especially loud it sounded right outside our door we left a day earlier than we had booked and paid for due to lack of sleep.
This is a beautiful independently owned property that is right on the city square and walking distance to the city center and the beaches. It’s extremely clean, nicely furnished, has a great breakfast. Every employee we encountered was friendly and very helpful. When I come back to Vila Real Santo António, this will be my go-to place to stay.
Very warm welcome from the staff, who were all very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay.
Desayuno sin tener mucha variedad, eran productos de calidad de la zona. El hotel esun hotel pequeño pero acogedor en la mejor localización del pueblo.
Localização boa, embora havendo recurso a estacionamento privado. Gostei particularmente da qualidade das camas ( colchões).
Achei que o quarto era quase destituído de arrumação e o roupeiro existente, todo aberto em ripas, não se emparelhava com a pretendida qualidade do hotel.
Absolute gem of hotel, We arrived late on Friday pm and the receptionist was lovely and very attentive. ( didn’t have her name) She was helpful with advice on the area, places to eat, and a genuine lovely manner. The hotel was spotless and staff friendly. We had breakfast daily which was plentiful and well presented. The pool area and rooftop were great facilities and we were lucky as it was quiet during our stay and had the place most of the time to ourselves which suited us. The area is lovely & easy to walk about with beach a walkable 30 minutes away. As this was spur of the moment getaway for us to chill & relax, it def lived up to its name. Overall highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
Lo que más las dos piscinas. Sobre todo la de arriba con vistas. La cama también me gustó.
No había vista en mi habitación, daba a un muro. Me gustaría que avisaran de eso.
A localização e a limpeza
Gostei de tudo.
La ubicación en el centro de la ciudad y la decoración del hotel y las habitaciones
Por poner alguna pega, el desayuno se puede mejorar
Localizado em plena praça no centro, perto do rio. Tem múltiplos recantos nas áreas comuns para usufruir: duas piscinas (uma em rooftop e outra num pátio interior), zonas de espreguiçadeira, de esplanada, sofás, poltronas, etc. O quarto tinha acesso direto ao pátio interior, com uma mesa e duas cadeiras privadas mesmo em frente à piscina. Como fomos em junho estava um ambiente muito tranquilo. Staff muito acolhedor e disponível.
A dimensão do quarto podia ser maior, e o pequeno-almoço mais diversificado, bem como as opções no restaurante.
Personal, decoración y ubicación.
La habitación era más pequeña de lo esperado. Aún así era muy cómoda y estaba muy limpia.
Situación
Almacén justo al lado de la habitación sin miramiento de cerrar y abrir puertas golpes etc a las 4 de l tarde, botella de agua de cortesía solo un día cuando estás más de un día no fueron capaces de reponer , el balcón muy sucio incluso alguna cucaracha ..fuimos con perro de dos meses 700 gramos enano nos cobraron 30 euros por día lo que me parece una estafa pero bueno cada hotel tiene sus condiciones , se supone que ponen una cajita con comida y bebedero cosa que nos dijo la recepcionista nos traerían ..ni el primer día ni el segundo jamás nos dejaron nada
Boa localização, espaço agradável e bom pequeno almoço.
A localização do quarto no piso térreo com pouca exposição solar.
We werden hartelijk ontvangen. Gedurende ons verblijf wat het personeel uiterst vriendelijk, behulpzaam en professioneel. Het hotel ligt op een prachtige locatie. We hadden uitzicht op het centrale plein. We konden de gezellige drukte van de dag en de avond zien, maar wanneer we de ramen en luiken sloten was daar niets van te merken en was het muisstil. De kamer was ruim, modern, gezellig, comfortabel en heel schoon. De ruimtes om te ontspannen in het hotel waren mooi en fijn om in te zijn. De zwembaden waren schoon en goed onderhouden. Ontbijt was niet heel groot, maar heel vers en super lekker. Meer dan voldoende.
Koffie en thee mogelijkheid op de kamer zou fijn zijn.
The Property is lovely and homely.
We had a great time at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the biggest square of the town (but still very peaceful). We especially appreciated the pool on the roof because we preferred to be in the sun. But the pool on the ground floor looked very good as well. The breakfast was amazing, a lot of fresh fruit, sandwiches and fresh omelette's to your liking. One of the waiters, a man originally from Aleppo, Syria, made our stay even better with his kind, service-minded and sweet personality.
One of the girls working in the reception was more than once rude and a bit arrogant towards us. Making us feel dumb when we didn't understand her answer to one of our questions, to give an example.
Wunderschöne verkehrsfreie Lage am Hauptplatz in der Altstadt, historisches, schön renoviertes Gebäude, Rooftop-Pool und grosser Pool im Innenhof, sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal, super Zimmer mit sehr angenehmen Betten. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und fanden es schade, nur eine Nacht gebucht zu haben! Ein rundum schönes Hotel zum Wohlfühlen und Entspannen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Nichts, alles war super!
A very comfortable and cosy hotel. I am delighted every time i come here for the kindness and warming wellcome from the staff. Excelent pizzas by the way!
Excellent breakfast Staff very helpful

Niets
The Pousada was a little gem, the welcome, the relaxing atmosphere, the lovely staff and its central location, all made our visit special.
The one small problem is that you can’t park right outside the hotel but this is due to its central location on a beautiful square.
Amazing hotel right on the center town square with a lovely and friendly staff, comfortable beds, and a delicious breakfast option. Nothing at all negative to say!
Le charme.
The location is perfect, hotel is cosy, it has a pool on a roof which was nice even in march (it's not heated). The staff was lovely - kind, helpful, proactive. We've had a great room.
The toilet in the room is definitely a challenge for a shy pooper, haha.
Viajamos con mascota que no da ningun problema, los 30 euros diarios por la mascota nos parecen excesivos, entendemos que podria ser una limpieza especial al final de la estancia.
This hotel is way overpriced and most rooms do not have a good view. The staff keep saying that this is the room that was selected and after many attempts offered a slightly better room, the hotel was not full however by this time the clients were too tired to move all their belongs. I asked if the hotel would waive the breakfast fee, the answer was I’ll check….this was not done. This little of adjustment would have made all the difference. NOT IMPRESSED. The 5 star hotel with a river view is a better option.
Frukost kunde varit bättre
Great location. Clean a well appointed rooms and common areas.
Nothing.
La suite con la cama de matrimonio muy grande y cómoda. Mucha luz natural y muy tranquila. El desayuno no es variado pero suficiente y muy bueno.
Falta de mantenimiento. La mesa de madera de Ikea de la terraza ya estaba muy estropeada y necesita ser reemplazada. Las ventanas de guillotina que dan a la plaza están sucias
Localização maravilhosa, pequeno almoço fantástico, pessoal top
Casas de banho
Espera-se deste alojamento o normal conforto no qual está inserido o conforto térmico. Não foi o caso pois não se consegue regular o ar condicionado o que me levou a passar uma noite com frio. Para um cliente que vai 2 noites é dececionante. Felizmente na 2ª noite um funcionário ( Gonçalo ?) disponibilizou um ventilador o que melhorou a temperatura .
Excellent location close to the marina and the historical center. Very warm and friendly welcome too.

La ubicación, el personal
Todo increíble. La atención, la habitación, la ubicación, el desayuno, etc. un hotel muy cómodo y con muchísimo encanto, en pleno corazón de Vila Real Santo Antonio. Fuimos a las playas cercanas (aprox 10-15 min en coche) y son preciosas.
Como único punto a levantar es que tardaron mucho en servirnos las cenas. Es el único punto que desde mi punto de vista hay que mejorar.
Da história do edifício, da localização e da simpatia das funcionárias
Na primeira noite avistamos 1 barata com 4 cm que tivemos de matar com receio de dormir no mesmo quarto que ela… o mini frigorífico não funcionava e na terceira noite o quarto não foi limpo
The pousada is right on the corner of the main square of Vila Real, looking across to the monument and the church. It is a conversion of a series of historic buildings along the corner of the square, carried out to really good design standards and very high quality. We have stayed there many times over the years and always enjoy going back. The town is right on the border with Spain, so has that edge! It is very lively, with daily influxes of tourists, who give it a cosmopolitan atmosphere.The rooms are quirky, given the adaptation of complex plans! They are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The town is one of the few planned towns in Portugal and has a lovely quality. Restaurants, shopping, walking and sight-seeing are all very enjoyable. The service from the , generally young, staff is excellent - friendly, helpful and effective. Tghis is one of our favourite places.
Excellent location, great room, decor is lovely and staff are very helpful
Pool not finished but this will be lively once it’s done
