Located in the heart of Trás-os-Montes, the city of Vila Real is a balance between a vast rural area, where we can appreciate and enjoy a vast natural landscape, and its historic center, endowed with tourist monuments.
Confident in his words, the writer Miguel Torga presents his region to us as a “Reino Maravilhoso”, and it’s no coincidence that we have several starting points to justify his answer. The district is truly characterized by its privileged location, next to the N2 and less than an hour from the largest cities in the north of Portugal, giving us the chance to enjoy various activities, stroll along the Douro, visit the vineyards, and taste the best Portuguese wines. On the slopes of the Marão and bathed by the river Corgo, its natural and geological wealth can be appreciated in the Alvão Natural Park, in the city’s largest green area, the Corgo Park, where you can do various activities to take advantage of the spaces the park offers, much loved by its visitors. For heritage lovers, the historic area is the ideal place. The Cathedral of Vila Real, the Church of São Paulo, and the Mateus Palace are some of the monuments you can find and admire in the city center.
During your visit to the district, take the opportunity to rest and recharge your batteries at the Borralha Hotel. With a contrast between the archaic and the contemporary, this is the place where you will feel at home and where you can have a quality rest. In addition to its exterior and a complete spa, it has a restaurant set in a glass room, one of the reasons for choosing it. Here, you’ll have the chance to enjoy traditional meals from the region or contemporary ones prepared by our chef.
