Casa de Mateus
Get a close-up look at the ornate, Baroque mansion at Casa de Mateus, the home of past Portuguese nobility. Inspired by the works of an Italian architect, the Mourao family finished the complex in 1743. Note that the decorative themes on the facades appear consistently throughout the property. You can wander the gardens to get a glimpse of the wealthy and tranquil life of the residents who once lived here. Join a guided tour to view the interior of the villa and learn a bit more about its history. You'll see antique furniture, books, paintings, and other artwork, as well as wooden ceiling carvings and religious pieces in the house's chapel. To go inside, you must take a tour. Use our Vila Real travel planner to add Casa de Mateus and other attractions to your Vila Real vacation plans.

Very informative did 30 min guided tour which covered essentials. Wine tasting interesting comparing to Niagara on the Lake where we live. Grounds and gardens beautiful amazing historical site and info.

Beautiful place with amazing gardens. Poor customer service! I don't think the tour is worth the price plus it's only in Portuguese. It's a 15 minutes walk in the gardens that makes this place worth the visit
