Charming Boutique hotel in the Algarve

The Revival of a Grand Dame

Ain't life Grand?

AVENIDA DA REPÚBLICA 171, 8900 VILA REAL DE SANTO ANTÓNIO | ALGARVE | PORTUGAL

The Revival of the Grand Dame

Situated in the Algarve’s eastern most corner, nestled across the river from Spain, Grand House is a stunning Belle Époque hotel, a revived Grand Dame that received a new lease of life, becoming the first five-star hotel in the historical town of Vila Real de Santo António. We created our Grand House as if it were a Grand Residence, not a hotel. We planned it as an opulent family house, adding the highest level of detail.

Destination

With its empty beaches, quaint, century-old towns and lip-smacking fresh seafood, Portugal’s Eastern Algarve is an undiscovered gem. One of the country’s best-kept secrets, this special destination is a tribute to tradition, a song of saudade, an emotional state of mind that describes the Portuguese soul and identity by preserving ancient history, a unique cultural heritage, traditional crafts and a unique ecosystem.
