Paço de Vitorino

A palace, a hotel with a story, and our top pick for the North of Portugal

About Paço de Vitorino

On the banks of the Lima River, 10 minutes from Ponte de Lima, and always a stone’s throw away from great food, baroque and medieval cities, wineries and natural parks, Paco Vitorino is a very elegant and easy place to rest in, and the perfect base to experience the North of Portugal from.

Elegant suites with four poster beds, wallpapered walls, antique furniture and lavish marble bathrooms are in the main building, and spacious double rooms with excellent smart design face the gorgeous romantic gardens of the Palace, and the fields beyond.

Paco de Vitorino is an intimate hotel with a wonderful staff who are always helpful and knowledgable. We visited the hotel while it was still under construction during our first trip to Portugal in 2015, and we loved watching it grow, gradually recuperating more parts of the ancient manor, seeing the gardens come back to life, and more recently the opening a pool side bar, for drinks and light meals when the main kitchen is closed.

They say time flies when you’re having fun, but come see how it can slow down and linger on when you’re in bliss.
