Efficient and friendly staff. Splendid views, lovely gardens well tended. Good free parking. Bedroom: excellent bed, good bathroom. Good and varied breakfast included. Hotel keeps improving the installations, as a very old palace is always difficult to change in a instant.
Set in Vila Real, Residencial Encontro has a shared lounge, restaurant, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property.

I liked cozy greetings, welcomed owners and theire cafe with excellent breakfast. Also view from the window and great location in the city center. Interior in the room was like in my grandma house or at the village, so it was comfy

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.
Beautiful and calm atmosphere. Lovely, quiet property, yet can walk to town easily. The breakfast was the best we had in Portugal. Lots of options, including a custom-made omelet and the view from the dining room of the trees was a peaceful environment. The staff in the breakfast room were also very kind and helpful. Bruno at the front desk welcomed us warmly and was a wealth of information in recommendations for dinner and hikes in the area. Bruno was always joyful and clearly loved helping guests. A great manager for the hotel.
This quirky hotel is situated in the most perfect location. It’s right in the centre, a very short walk from the bus stop. It’s also next to a Pingo Doce and not more than a twenty minute walk from any of the main sites. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel at home and my room was cleaned everyday without fail (I was there for 3 weeks). The beds were also reasonably comfortable. Moreover the price was great value for money.
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.
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!
A fabulous relaxing place to stay . Every member of staff helpful . dinner fabulous true Portuguese style . breakfast excellent too .
we will return in the future and tell our friends to stay here as well
This isn’t a chain of hotels but true Portuguese hospitality , Thankyou
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.
Hotel was clean and staff seemed very friendly. The bed was very comfortable and location was good BUT to get into town the walk is all uphill. Easy come back though! There is also a car park for anyone brining their car. TV has LOTS of channels!
Room is roomy, cosy and amazing. Hotel is at the very centre so not parking available. Hotel has good price because it is a kind of hostel but if you choose private room that is SUPREME very spacious and we did not hear any noise.
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 stayed at this location due to an indoor pool. Not the case since it wasn’t open. I could have stayed at a cheaper hotel. I have stopped payment until I hear from someone. 203-910-1063
new hotel with a very very nice view! owner recommended a very good reastaurant. nice, big and clean rooms. breakfast was good. the pool is great! recommend.
