Vila Real Vacation Homes

The Mateus Palace is a palace located in the civil parish of Mateus, municipality of Vila Real, Portugal. The three primary buildings are the manor, the winery and the chapel.

The winery buildings date from the 16th century and were modified in the 1800s. Architect Nicolau Nasoni was involved in the project for the construction of the palace, which took place in the 18th century, possibly between 1739 and 1743, according to one expert. The work was authorized by António José Botelho Mourão, 3rd Count of Mateus. The current manor replaced the former family house which was built in the same location in the early 1600s. In 1910, it was classified as a National Monument. The palace is owned by the Mateus Foundation.

I had the pleasure to visit the Mateus palace a few times during my tours. Each of every time I was blown away with the richness and the beauty what it can offer to those who decide to visit it.

Open Space House with jacuzzi in Lamego, 5 minutes from the city center

Lamego

"This is a room to remember! It is apparently new judging from the pristine condition and stylish modern amenities. The private hot tub on the patio is a welcome amenity after a long day of sightseeing and port wine tasting. The view out the windows is pastoral and inviting. Its just a short distance from the town, but its not practical to walk anywhere from here so we recommend if you have a car or are happy to use rideshares. The driveway entrance is non-descript so pics are below to help...

Top Vila Real Hotel Reviews

The Wine House Hotel - Quinta da Pacheca

10/10 Excellent

"We chose the wine barrel room and it was a great experience "

Hotel Columbano

10/10 Excellent

"The directions were easy to follow so we found the hotel without a problem. The receptionist was delightful and helpful. The room was basic but comfortable and warm. The shower had great water pressure and there was a hairdryer. With free parking outside the front door and breakfast included there wasn't anything not to like. Great value for money ."
