The Spirit of Discovery encourages us to discover and explore, to seek out unique and authentic experiences, and that is what you will find at our hotel in Monte Real.

We are a hotel near Vieira and Pedrógão beaches, from which you can discover all the art, gastronomy and authenticity of the Central Portugal region.
