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

Conveniently located near the main bus station and close to the old downtown. Large appartement with one kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. Everything is very clean and functional. Fernando the host is very nice and helpful. There's one dedicated parking place nearby.

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.
Friendly helpful staff. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Comfortable beds and generous breakfast delivered to our room (because of covid) at the requested time. For the rate we paid I wasn't expecting such a gorgeous view of the river. Lovely sized pool and smaller childrens pool. Sauna, shower and toilets just for the pool. Underground private car park.
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!
The hotel was in a quiet location. The views from our room were stunning even though is was raining!! It was in a great location for visiting the Douro River valley which is beautiful. The gentleman who greeting us was very friendly and helpful recommending a local restaurant which we went to which had great food. The room was very clean and comfortable.
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!
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.
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
Amazing place to enjoy Vila Real side of Gerês. The pool and the view were very good and the location was great to visit Cascata do Taihiti, Fabril, Poço verde, etc. It also has a good restaurant where you can enjoy good Portuguese wines and food. We will be back soon for sure.
the rooms were amazing, and the pool was perfect🥺🥹❤️
we booked this place by minutes bc before this place we were supposed to stay at some creepy hotel , we got away from the creepy hotel and got here, this is such a perfect place to stay🥰❤️
Everything. We arrived late and Francisco offered us detailed info making sure that we have no problem checking-In.
The surrounding inside the hotel is just WONDERFUL, looking forward to getting back next time we are around.
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.
