The apartment is clean and it has everything you need. There was a complementary bottle of wine, water and two coffee pods, which was nice. Check in and access to the building are quite simple. It's very quiet, no noise from the street. It's quite near the "Passadiços do Corgo", there's a good supermarket too within a walking distance.

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.
The location is beautiful and so peaceful. We stayed in a spacious and well-equipped self-catering stone casa. The grounds are extensive and very well maintained. The swimming pool is superb and so quiet and relaxing. The maps provided to us when we checked in were brilliant - we were able to explore the Douro and the Parque Natural do Alvão by car, as well take the riverside walk into the town of Vila Real. We self catered, but we made good use of the "Honesty Shop" at reception for local produce.
Sometimes a simpler place can be more worthy than some other more upmarket locations. Clássico is an honest hotel that delivers a very good price/value ration. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, a clean and more than able bathroom, good breakfast and, as important as other things, a very friendly reception and a excellent effort from all the staff to make a guest feel like at home. This business deserves to be recommended to everyone.
The location and the customer support exceeded our expectative ! The staff is great and you'll get and amazing experience that you won't forget. The rooms are very good and you won't miss anything that you usually find are good hotels.
You'll get to the center with a 15 minutes walk or taking a bus right in front of the Montanhês, amazing location!
This is a good place to stay any time of the year.
Very modern property, nice atmosphere around the pool area, with most rooms facing it. Good sized bedrooms and bathrooms, very clean and modern. Friendly staff. The location is not the best as it is not on the city center, but it’s a short drive away, and very easy to get there from the highway. Very nice and complete breakfast! Dinner is also served in the hotel restaurant and we enjoyed it!
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!
Hi! I would sincerely recommend the property which is a good sized studio very centrally located in Vila Real. Possibly the pictures on booking.com do not sufficiently convey the attractiveness of the apartment but trust me it's really comfortable, stylish, modern inside and clean-clean! Can be great choice both for a short or longer stay. Thanks!
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 room was big , clean and comfortable. A nice bathroom, with hot water, good stream, we like it.
The manger , Paulo, is wonderful with huge heart, who always want to help, to make you feel happy. He make us feel like home . He gave us a lot of information on the area and Portugal. He like to talk and we learn a lot of things from him
Was more the vibe of an hotel
Beds were amazing; good matrassen, great blanket and with a curtain
We had our own bathroom
There was air-conditioning
Well equipped kitchen
Location is in the middle of the centre
I saw the girl who cleaned in the morning even cleaning all the cutlery that wasn't used
It was unique staying in a mansion that had the several additions making it more into a hotel. It is in an the top of the town but still walkable to the city center, we did a causal walk and it took maybe 20th minutes to get to.
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.
Hotel is nicely located, very nice staff. Restaurant is very nice with outside seating. Great quality food, very friendly service.
Room is spacy with a nice veranda style balcony.
