Pousada Vila Real de Santo António

Perfectly located on the square. Comfortable rooms, some with balconies, with several indoor and outdoor gathering places. Amazing breakfast. Free parking a few blocks away. Would definitely stay here again.

From the moment we walked through the door the staff in this lovely wee hotel made us feel very welcome. Every member of staff we came across was courteous, friendly, helpful and above all professional. We stayed in a superior room with big balcony and sunbeds. The bed was super comfy and shower great. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of hot and cold items. There's also a roof top plunge pool with lovely views.

Lovely hotel right on the main square in pretty Vila Real de Santo Antonio. Delightful service from Vanessa, clean and comfortable room for a very good price (we were ground floor but I’d probably ask for higher floor next time), and scrumptious breakfast that can also serve as lunch and dinner!! Two pools which were a little too cool for us to try in November, but would be lovely in summer heat. Gorgeous outdoor terrace overlooking the church and square.

Lovely little hotel in a nice square in the town, with plenty of small bars and restaurants nearby, and close to a nice walk way by the river. Plenty of free, as well as paid, parking around.( probably not in high season) Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Our room was a bit dark but comfortable and quiet. We had a birthday there and they kindly left us a little cake. Because it was November a lot of restaurants in the area were closed for annual holidays, and we ended up eating in the hotel, which is not something we would normally do, but the food was really nice and the service was excellent. I would absolutely recommend this hotel.

A lovely hotel with very friendly staff. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and there was plenty of good food to choose from at breakfast.|The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning was good.|Our room had a little balcony onto a courtyard.|We did have pizza one night which was delicious with a perfect thin crispy crust.|The views from the rooftop were splendid, particularly at night when we could see the Spanish Town of Ayamonte lit up and the beacon on the lighthouse of Vila Real de Santo Antinio.|Well situated in the lovely square of the town.|One thing stops me from giving it a full five star rating is that in our room, which was open plan the shower was literally in the bedroom. Instead of frosted panels as on the toilet door it was completely see through.

This was a lovely place to stay. We were upgraded to a room at the top of the original Pousada building which had everything in one room - fine as long as you are OK for your partner to see you in the glass sided shower! A little more clothes storage would be nice but I understand that is planned. We had lunch a few times and both it and the breakfasts were very good. A nice bar service with great cocktails too!|The location is on one side of the main square and very close to the harbour area with a ten minute walk to get the road train to the beautiful beach.|The manager and all staff were friendly and really helpful which made us feel really like guests - nothing seemed to be a problem.|We would return to this hotel without a doubt when we revisit Vila Real.

Really enjoyed our stay -staff and accommodation very good. I am a Pestana account holder but despite numerous requests to the hotel directly and to Pestana group directly no one ever answers or sorts out my query!||Pestana is my hotel of choice for regular visits to Algarve and trips to Madeira, Lisbon. But sadly as they won’t update my loyalty points I’m booking elsewhere for my next visit in March to Alvor and to NYC as a one off trip in May 2025.

This was a lovely hotel, a beautiful historic building, apparently part of which once formed a palace . It was a comfortable stay and the only reason for deducting 1 star was the staffing. Whilst young and, mostly, enthusiastic there seemed too few and they occasionally appeared under pressure. We stayed on a Thursday night and VRSL was very quiet but the hotel was busy, it's restaurant at capacity, so they must obviously be doing something right.
