The south-eastern Algarve is a very attractive and peaceful holiday destination and Vila Real de Santo António offers quick and easy access to the fine sandy beaches and warm waters of Monte Gordo, the Nature Reserve of the Castro Marim marshland, the Quinta do Vale golf course and the Algarve hills. From July 1st, the Pousadas de Portugal mark their presence in this destination by opening the doors of a new unit with 57 rooms, three swimming pools, a bar and a restaurant open to the public.
Located in the historical centre of the town, in the old customs building, the new Pousada de Portugal is housed in four buildings of historical interest in Praça Marquês de Pombal, which is the centre of the perfect octagonal grid that defines this town, well known for its canning industry during the 19th and 20th centuries. The decoration of the new Pousada de Portugal celebrates in its details the history and the place, keeping some original elements of the building and including new and colourful pieces that give the space a cosy atmosphere. There are 5 types of rooms available (Classic, Superior, Superior Family, Junior Suite and Suite), all of them having in common the comfort and the breakfast service included in the rate. The lively local commerce, the proximity to other towns and the magnificent beaches, as well as the various markets and festivals that the municipality promotes throughout the year, make Vila Real de Santo António a place not to be missed.
