One of the most beautiful and appealing locations in Portugal, the Vidago Palace Resort and its 40 acres of private grounds landscaped with impressive cedar, plane, pine and holly trees are set amidst centennial Vidago Park.
Construction of the hotel began in 1908. Already in those days, this was the realization of a dream as the neo-romantic architecture brought to mind the great palaces of times past.
Today, the Vidago Palace Hotel has been refurbished to the highest modern hospitality standards. The hotel provides visitors with the ideal base from which they can explore the marvels of one of the most beautiful regions in Portugal, the enchanted kingdom of the Trás-os-Montes.
Vidago Park is also celebrated for the abundance of its mineral water. Since 1886, the exclusive fountains in the park have been famous for their purity and the feeling of well-being that drinking the waters imparts. The stress created by the hustle and bustle of life today have brought renewed interest in the concept of the health farm, as seen by the modern relaxation and fitness programs and facilities offered at the spa.
The 9-hole Golf Course was designed by McKenzie Ross, the famous course architect. Inaugurated in 1936, it is the third oldest golf course in Portugal still in operation. The modern and welcoming Club House, inaugurated at the end of 2003, completes a range of amenities that any golfer could wish for.
The Park also contains a modern Conference Centre that was built by design on the site of the old spa baths, so that work and leisure co-exist in perfect harmony. This multi-purpose building boasts a quality architecture and technology that make it the ideal venue for a wide range of events.
Here, between a guided tour of the Park, a commented wine tasting or a dinner of culinary delights, the Trás-os-Montes region reveals itself at every moment, through the beauty of its landscapes, the friendliness of its people and the aromas and flavours of its fine food.
