Vila Real de Santo António considered one of the most underrated in Europe

Vila Real de Santo António appears in this article in "New in Town" (NiT) after being mentioned in an article in "Condé Nast Traveller", which highlights the town as a desirable destination for its relative tranquility, even in the height of summer.
The laid-back atmosphere is complemented by a typically Mediterranean ambience, thanks to "the white-painted stores and stunning cobblestone streets" where you can buy local handicrafts and get to know the generally welcoming local people better. 
Mention is also made of the fact that the town was rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake according to the pombaline model, and of its proximity to the idyllic beaches of the eastern Algarve, as well as other places to visit like Castro Marim, the Sapal, Cacela Velha and the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
Finally, this article refers to the Relais Chateaux Grand House, a hotel next to the marina that has brought new life to a palace belonging to the Ramirez family (of great importance to the canning industry that settled here in the late 19th century), as well as adding to the tourism offer in the beautiful town of Vila Real de Santo António.
This pearl in the shape of a ship, as "The Telegraph" calls it, has a lot to offer! Visit us!
