"The central Portuguese city of Ílhavo is said to have been settled by the ancient Greeks; of more recent significance is the connection with Vista Alegre, a porcelain maker with 200 years of local history. Montebelo Vista Alegre Ílhavo Hotel is a partnership between the ongoing Vista Alegre concern and the Montebelo Hotels & Resorts group, and is a part of Vista Alegre’s local campus, along with the old factory, which is now a museum memorializing Vista Alegre’s history." - Tablet Hotels
