Mateus

Travel Guide

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. #history #portugal #thenorth #visitportugal #monument #vilareal #mateus

8.8/10 Excellent! (184 reviews)
Its up on a hillside as most in the valley, and there are a lot of steps, and you need a car to reach the restaurant. The restaurant marked the items that were glutenfree, etc, but had no ready solution for gluten and lactose free. Breakfast was fine. View superb!
