Vila Galé Collection Penacova

Located atop a hill with breathtaking views over the Mondego River, Reconquinho Beach and the historic centre of Penacova, Vila Galé Collection Penacova was created through the restoration of the former Penacova Preventorium and the historic Chapel of Our Lady of Guia, bringing new life to one of the region’s most iconic landmarks.

Part of the Vila Galé Collection range, this hotel combines heritage, nature and comfort, preserving the historical identity of the original buildings while providing an experience defined by tranquillity and the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

With 84 rooms, distributed between the restored historic building and a new extension, Vila Galé Collection Penacova features two restaurants, a bar, library, event room, spa, gym, indoor swimming pool and a rooftop with an outdoor pool and panoramic views of the region.

The wellness area also includes a sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi, Vichy shower, massage rooms and sensory showers, creating the ideal environment for relaxation and escape.

The spacious outdoor areas and gardens integrated into the hillside invite guests to enjoy nature and the unique views over the Mondego Valley. Nearby, visitors can discover Penacova’s historical heritage, viewpoints, hiking trails and natural landscapes that make this region one of central Portugal’s best-kept secrets.
