Montebelo Vista Alegre Ílhavo Hotel

In Ilhavo, set inside the restored Vista Alegre factory complex — about 8 km from the sea and 8 km from Aveiro (the “Portuguese Venice”). Stroll nearby to Parque Dom Pedro, the Monastery of Jesus and Praça da República for local sights.

A 5-star boutique rooted in 190+ years of porcelain history, this property blends industrial heritage, a palace and a chapel with a protected historic garden. The hotel has 82–83 rooms including 10 suites and one disability-friendly room; New Wing rooms have elevator access while Palace, Deluxe and Painters' Palace rooms are reached by stairs or sit in an adjacent building. Rooms are warmly decorated and stocked with a mini-bar, TV, bathrobe and slippers.

Indoor and outdoor pools, a full spa with sauna, steam bath and massage rooms, plus a fitness center and gym. On-site museum, hands-on modeling and painting workshops, concierge and tour desk, plus car park and transfer service. Wi‑Fi, laundry, car rental, ATM and chapel are also available — wheelchair-accessible areas throughout.

An on-site restaurant, bar and café keep things convenient after a day of workshops or exploring Aveiro. Grab coffee and light bites at the café or relax with a drink at the bar before heading out.
