Vila Galé will invest around 20 million in the refurbishment of the Quinta da Cardiga estate, in Golegã, to create the Vila Galé Collection Tejo - Country Resort Hotel Convention, Spa & Equestrian Sports. Classified as a property of public interest since 1952, the estate brings together centuries of history that will be honoured in this new project.
The project will be developed in two phases. In the first, scheduled for completion in June 2026, the main centre of the estate, comprising the Palace, winepress and barn, will be restored. This space will feature 71 rooms. The second phase, which will take place in 2027, will be dedicated to the group of buildings to the north of Quinta da Cardiga, also deactivated and in ruins. There will be 45 more rooms and a large events hall.
The hotel's theme will be inspired by the history of the Orders of the Knights Templar and Christ. The opening of this 4-star hotel will create 40 jobs in the first phase.
