Villa C pairs hotel facilities with a cultural programme on the banks of the Ave in Azurara. Monthly events range from concerts to cooking workshops, while the modern building also houses À TERRA restaurant, a bar, spa and gym. Vila do Conde’s centre is a two-minute journey away, according to the hotel. A cultural ticket included with a stay covers several local museums and landmarks, including the Jewellery Lace Museum and the house of José Régio. Spa treatments draw on aromatherapy, plants and natural ingredients.
