![The Mateus Palace is a palace located in the civil parish of Mateus, municipality of Vila Real, Portugal. The three primary buildings are the manor, the winery and the chapel.

The winery buildings date from the 16th century and were modified in the 1800s. Architect Nicolau Nasoni was involved in the project for the construction of the palace, which took place in the 18th century, possibly between 1739 and 1743, according to one expert. The work was authorized by António José Botelho Mourão, 3rd Count of Mateus. The current manor replaced the former family house which was built in the same location in the early 1600s. In 1910, it was classified as a National Monument. The palace is owned by the Mateus Foundation.

I had the pleasure to visit the Mateus palace a few times during my tours. Each of every time I was blown away with the richness and the beauty what it can offer to those who decide to visit it.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a budget hotel in Vila Real cost?

### Which area of Vila Real is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

> Solo travellers will find the city centre particularly convenient. Many guesthouses and smaller hotels here offer competitive rates, and you'll be within easy walking distance of the main shopping streets, cafes, and the beautiful Cathedral. Exploring the historic streets and enjoying the local atmosphere won't require additional transport, saving you money.
> 
>   
> Couples looking for affordability might consider areas near the Polytechnic Institute. This part of town often has more modern, yet still inexpensive, accommodation options, including some hotels that cater to a student population but welcome all guests. It's a short bus ride or a pleasant walk to the city centre, and you might find slightly larger rooms for your budget.

### When is the most affordable time to visit Vila Real?

> For solo travellers, the spring offers beautiful landscapes as the region's vineyards and gardens come into bloom, great for exploring the Douro Valley without the summer crowds. You can often find good deals on guesthouses and smaller hotels, and local eateries maintain their regular, affordable pricing, making it easy to enjoy authentic Portuguese cuisine on a budget.
> 
>   
> Autumn provides a similar advantage, with the added bonus of the grape harvest season. Many local Quintas offer tours and tastings, some at little to no cost, providing a rich cultural experience. The cooler temperatures are ideal for hiking in the surrounding natural parks, such as the Parque Natural do Alvão, which is free to access and offers stunning views.

### Is Vila Real a budget-friendly destination?

> Solo travellers and couples can particularly benefit from the affordability. Exploring the historic centre on foot is free, allowing you to admire the traditional architecture and visit sites like the Vila Real Cathedral. A walk through the beautiful gardens of the Casa de Mateus, while having an entrance fee, is still very reasonable and provides a fantastic cultural experience.
> 
>   
> Dining in Vila Real is incredibly economical. Look for local 'tascas' and family-run restaurants where you can enjoy hearty, traditional Northern Portuguese dishes for a fraction of the cost you'd find elsewhere. A full meal with wine can be surprisingly inexpensive, making it easy to indulge without breaking the bank.

### How can I save on a budget hotel in Vila Real with Expedia?

### What free activities should we do in Vila Real?

> Begin your exploration with a leisurely stroll through the historic city centre, taking in the charming architecture and soaking up the local atmosphere. The Casa de Diogo Cão, a medieval house, and the Gothic Cathedral of Vila Real are both impressive to view from the outside, offering glimpses into the city's rich past. You can also wander through the lovely Jardim da Carreira, a central park that's great for relaxing and people-watching.
> 
>   
> For a scenic experience, head to the Miradouro de São Domingos, a viewpoint offering panoramic vistas of the Corgo River valley and the surrounding landscape. It's an ideal spot for photography and enjoying the natural beauty of the region. Another excellent free activity is simply walking along the banks of the Corgo River, enjoying the tranquil environment and perhaps discovering some hidden pathways.
> 
>   
> Vila Real also has a number of small churches and chapels, many of which are open to the public during the day and offer a quiet space for reflection and appreciation of local artistry.
