Booked it for one night, as I had an appointment in the city - impressed with the location and cleanliness. It has everything you need. I was there with my small daughter and the place was ideal for us.

Superb location and friendly staff who made sure to accommodate special requests since the very beginning. The room was quite simple, but exactly how it looks at the pictures; minor maintenance needed. Bed was surprisingly more comfortable than it appeared to be. Good Wi-Fi connection too. Breakfast served in the coffee area downstairs, with a wide variety of pastry. Overall, a good value for money - you get what you pay - and definitely a good fit for a night or two!

Beautiful place with the best view. The room was big enough, with beautiful bathroom and also bathtub in the room. The bed was very comfortable and again with a fantastic view. There is also a little terrace where you can just sit and sip your glass of wine while enjoying the view of the mountains. Every morning we had a fantastic breakfast with everything you can think of (sweet pastry and cakes, eggs, cheese, hams, fruit, yougurts, bread....). Bruno, the host, is very nice and very helpful. He also recommended us places around which we could visit.
We would definitely recommend this accomodation and would love to come back again.

The location was the best but you cannot go for walks - the location is best for visiting Mateus. It is outside the town.
The dining room has classical interior but what spoils it is a large tv screen blaring out programmes like in a motorway restaiurant

Breakfast was lovely!
Breakfast was lovely! All locally produced foods, eggs cheese and bread! Fresh orange juice! We had no tv in our room ( some rooms do have tv’s) but this wasn’t a big deal! Would have appreciated another mirror-in the main bedroom as the the bathroom had the only one but again we managed. I had my tablet so accessed everything I needed on that. The honesty shop sold wine beer bread and snacks at vey reasonable prices! Ginas restaurant down the road was great and very cheap

Vila Real is at the top of the mountains in the Douro Region. It has extremely beautiful views, the city is nice and it has a lot of nature around it. You have many restaurants with typical food that are cheap. If you like eating, wine and mountains it's a perfect stay.

Other than a nice central church (Sé) and half a dozen historical buildings which can be seen in a couple of hours, Vila Real is one of the least interesting cities in Portugal, with a very ugly and disordinate built environment. Most buildings from the 70's and 80's with poor design.
The 'must see' item is by far the Palácio MATEUS on the outskirts of the city (in Mateus on the South entrance to Vila Real), an architectural masterpiece and an iconic place full of history and a beatiful setting.

One of Portugal's nicest regions, close to the fantastic Douro Valley and thus to lots of interesting wineries, but also far enough away from that valley so as to have good road connections (the Douro Valley is all winding secondary or tertiary roads, and it takes forever to drive any given distance). Finally, super-close to the charming Mateus Palace.
When I booked in I was told I had 2 reservations paid up for the same dates. This did not seem possible but the hotel reception cancelled one of these. I am not sure if I was due some sort of refund due to this as It may have accidently been paid twice. I am hoping the hotel will look into what happened here and come back to me by email. fpm.oharte@ulster.ac.uk
The premises are amazing. An old estate home with gorgeous grounds. Amazing and helpful staff. The best “orientation” as well - you know those booklets that hotels have? This was useful and informative. The breakfast was fantastic and their light dinner fare perfect. I can’t say enough about CAL and strongly encourage you to try it. You won’t be disappointed!
This is like living in a dollhouse, in the sense of a charming, cute, lovely, well cared place. I've stayed in similar places in Ireland and France but this one beats all of them by far, I heartily recommend this place to anyone who wishes for a bit of peace and quiet (yet near a major city) in the beautiful countryside of northern Portugal.
the Levada estate is fantastic, from the lovely smell of the trees as you come up the driveway, the beautiful buildings, the friendly welcome, the wonderful pool and bread every morning in honour of an ancient tradition of sharing bread. it’s a quiet oasis in Vila Real. nice walk into town along the river too. the pool area is fantastic.
Amazing place with a fantastic view, great service , great facilities , rooms, service. One of the best places you can stay in the Vila Real area , don’t hesitate. Beyond friendly managers, go over the edge to make you feel at home. Great experience with our kid there. We loved the included breakfast & very relaxing place!
This is a very comfortable big room in the town centre of Vila Real, near restaurants, the river, and stores. Perfect if you want a quiet space as well. The room is big, and the mattress is very good. Because the rooms are on the top floor it's very quiet during the evening, you don't hear any noise from the streets.
I felt like being at home with my family ready to help me. The owners were so nice that they even drove me daily to the event location.
The location is brand new. The place is calm and cozy. If I will ever need to come back to Vila Real, I will definitely book here again.
Lovely hotel right in the center on the city, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and gave us advice on where to eat and visit. We had a room with amazing views over the valley and river.
The best house and hosts ever! The view is breathtaking unbelievable!!! The firplace with nfver ending supply, go to his restaurant in vila real on saturday very good donner and live music
Thanka jorge for eveything
Hotel with an amazing view of the vineyard and mountains and valley. Had everything we needed ( except shampoo/conditioner in bathroom). Breakfast was great and property was clean.
Staff/hosts were very friendly
The staff was really kind and respectful but the room was not so good. It was too small there were some shortages which are necessary for any hotel. For example there was no hand-washing liquid, no sandals etc.
We were on our way passing through and the hotel was easy to find and had a good location for this purpose. There was good parking for free on the premisses
