In the north of Portugal, one hour’s drive from Porto, Vidago Palace can be found in the heart of several hectares of woodland. Shaded paths throughout the woods invite visitors to walk and immerse themselves in the natural beauty and tranquillity of the green oasis. The landmark hotel originally opened in 1910 and has recently been refurbished with a focus on preserving the architecture heritage of the building while bringing the facilities into the 21st century.

The decoration of Vidago Palace keeps in touch with the ‘Belle Epoque’ origins of the building. The 70 bedrooms and suites are beautifully appointed and custom made furniture give each room a cosy and intimate feeling. The majestic Portuguese country house features an inviting restaurant, a world-class spa which takes advantage of the thermal water underground and a magnificent 18-hole golf course.
