Vidago Palace Hotel

First and foremost the place is wonderful. It’s so high maintenance. The staff are so welcoming and polite. The food is delicious exactly you couldn’t ask more. Definitely It’s a dreaming come true.|Highly recommended.|Also the room was so nice and clean.

Vidago Palace Hotel is very easy to access by expressways. The service is impeccable, and the rooms are large and well-renovated. The hotel has a beautiful balcony and pretty gardens.The dinner there had a good choice of food, and the wine list is pretty extensive, and expensive.Worth a visit even if is not cheap for Portuguse standars.

This is a very difficult hotel to review. It’s in a beautiful setting with lots of fantastic things to do in the country. The food is mostly fantastic, the wine list is exceptional, and the staff is magnificent. There’s a lot to like. But there are some fundamental things missing: the WiFi is abysmal. In 2025, this is unacceptable and despite my many complaints, nothing was done about it. Looking through the other reviews, it seems like this is a consistent complaint going back years. If you’re on vacation and need to stay connected with work, this is absolutely not the hotel for you. Trust me. Save yourself the stress of walking around looking for a 5G connection in a corner of your room. The toilet in our room ran all night and wouldn’t flush. I asked for it to be fixed. It wasn’t. If you bring a pet, they make you stay in one of the basement rooms. The cellular connection down there is awful and of course the WiFi doesn’t work. The rooms are spacious and pretty, but only superficially so. You only have to look casually to see wood plank floors buckling, frayed carpeting, some rooms that are too hot while the room next door is too cold, and an absolutely impenetrable steampunk shower system that would befuddle Stephen Hawking. Overall, the gastronomic experience and service are fantastic. My wife and kid went to the spa and loved it. There are certain things that would be easy for the hotel to fix, but judging by the complaints in the reviews dating back months, the hotel has deemed they’re not sufficiently important to address. It’s a shame.

Excellent. The "garden" suites are very beautiful, especially in late April, early May. Classical decoration and a forest surrounding the hotel. Not cheap, but of that's not a problem, highly recommended!

one of the best hotels and restaurants in Portugal, if not the best! will definitely come back and more than once. the restaurant and service are just excellent

Beautiful hotel, unfortunately the thermal springs are closed. The spa has a pool (you have to pay to use it, but it’s not thermal water). The rooms are beautifully decorated, but the air conditioning doesn’t work. I complained many times. They relocated me to supposedly upgrade room, facing the back. My original room had a beautiful view. So actually they downgraded me. The food is excellent and the service superior. The spa has good menu of services. I will not return. I spent four days, there is not much to do. If you are looking for golfing there is nice golf field. My review could had been better should they fixed the air conditioning. But it took me many, many complains ( 10 times at least).

Beautiful hotel with exceptional facilities - golf course is great (played four times in four days!). During the weekends is busier, but midweek is extremely quiet and you have course to yourself. Food and drink is amazing and lovely spots to have an evening drink. Is off the regular tourist trail, making it a good spot and very serene. Grounds are beautiful for a wonder, with the old fontes / follies from the spas hay day

Beautifully restored old historic palace. |Great staff. Beautiful grounds. |Breakfast was excellent in a well decorated room. |Cool grand staircase in the lobby. |Very nice and inviting outside bar/cafe area overlooking the gardens. |Short walk to the small village.
