Pousada Vila Real de Santo António

We have just got back from a fabulous stay at this hotel, the staff were exceptional helping you with all your needs, fresh breakfast, fruits, eggs ,freshly made omelets and a good choice of cold cut meats , cheese also an array of sweet treats, pan au chocolates , cake and a selection of breads. We stayed in one of the church rooms which was across the square from the main hotel, it felt quite exclusive having a courtyard with a plunge pool and good quality garden furniture to lounge on, are room had its own balcony with a pair of sunbeds and a small table, looking over the roof tops ( excellent afternoon sun).the main hotel has a small lap pool and a roof top plunge pool and deck , quiet and had a lovely breeze temp 32oc, brilliant place to watch the sun set, there is a bar service up there via a phone call.the town is beautiful plenty of restaurants to eat especially if you like fish, lots of shops and the bonus is Spain is a 15 minute boat ride across the river. We will return.

Lovely hotel right on the main square . We had a superior room which was nice and roomy , had ac and was spotless. Apart from Saturday night when they had an event in square, room was quiet and we slept well . Cleaners did a great job every day . Staff in hotel were helpful and attentive . Ate here on Paella night, but ate out rest of time as so much choice elsewhere in town . But generally had nightcap at the bar on way to bed . Breakfast was always a great start to the day, plenty of choice, both hot and cold , and eggs to order if you want . Small dining room but we always got a table. Staff told us about the local beach and the tourist train (€1:30) to get there which was great advice . Also has a couple of quiet days by the pool , not the biggest but more than adequate . Overall a really relaxing week away here .

Such a wonderful hotel! Really cameral, comfotable with very good staff. Special thanks for Gonçalo - man, without you help we would never go to Lisbon :-) Great food, genial surroundings. We liked this place very much. |Obrigado :-) |Dorota and Artur from Poland

Fourth time we have stayed here, and the experience gets better every time. Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff, many who have been here since we started coming over 4 years ago. Good sized rooms, large, comfortable super kingsize beds, with a choice of pillows. Good sized bathroom with plenty of shelf space. The buffet breakfast is excellent, and hot food, eggs, pancakes, omelettes can ordered as well. Set right in the main plaza with plenty going on, but the bedrooms are well soundproofed, you dont even hear other guests.

Dear team of the Pousada in VRSA, a big thank you to all of you! You are doing a great job! We are here for the second time and have directly booked two weeks over Easter. And we were welcomed so friendly and warmly. Everyone here feels responsible and cares. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed. The room is great and clean and very comfortable. There is a wonderful breakfast buffet. And we also had very good food in the restaurant. Information for travelers who don't want to eat from 7 pm in the evening: the menus for lunch, snacks and dinner are actually not that different. There isn't a huge selection, but everything we tried was delicious. Great location of the hotel in the middle of the historic center, everything is within walking distance. And by car you can reach magical beaches in a few minutes …

We had a wonderful lunch here. I recommend the pizzas cooked fresh on the premises. Had a sneaky look around the facilities downstairs which looked brilliant. Will probably look to stay there on our next visit.

Such a welcoming and charming hotel. On our first day I noted that there wasn’t a kettle in the room and they immediately supplied a drinks station with kettle and hot drinks sachets. The food was very good, we had breakfast included and had dinner one of the nights we stayed. The staff were extremely polite and rightly proud of their hotel and high standards.

We stayed for just one night at this pousada and we absolutely loved it. Great location, staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming. The restaurant in the hotel for both evening meal and breakfast had good menu choice and was cosy and charming. We will definitely return.
