16th-century mansionhistoric villagein the Dão vineyards
Surrounded by mountains that protect the area’s vineyards from the wind, the Dão winemaking region, an hour from Porto, is popular for its preserved landscapes and its exceptional wines. The Valverde Santar Hotel & Spa is the ideal destination to enjoy the charms of the Portuguese interior, in a setting that celebrates art and the art of living. Located in the picturesque village of Santar, renowned for its magnificent century-old residences and beautiful gardens, the property is a vast typical 17th-century manor house, partly belonging to the royal family.
At the entrance stands an imposing baroque fountain, which sets the tone for the decor. In the shared spaces, as in the guest rooms, period furniture and master paintings co-exist under painted or paneled ceilings. Gastronomy is also in the spotlight at the Valverde Santar Hotel & Spa, where you can enjoy modern cuisine that reinterprets traditional regional recipes. The property has collaborated for several years with the best local farmers, market gardeners and winegrowers, with all of whom it shares a taste for natural, seasonal products. Enjoy a bucolic, cultural and gourmet break, far from the daily grind.
