On the shore of the Ria de Aveiro, Montebelo Vista Alegre Ílhavo Hotel puts Costa Nova’s beaches and central Aveiro within reach; the hotel places Porto a fifty-minute journey away. It forms part of the restored Vista Alegre factory grounds, alongside the founders’ palace, the Palace of the Painters, Bairro Vista Alegre, a chapel and the Vista Alegre Museum. The setting brings the history of the Portuguese brand into the fabric of the stay. For company gatherings, there is a conference centre and meeting rooms. Vista Alegre restaurant looks out over the lagoon, while two bars, a spa and indoor and outdoor pools are also on site. Private parking and electric-car charging are available.
