The Lince Santa Clara
A contemporary hotel with a fascinating past. Located in the heart of Vila do Conde, at the intersection of the calm waters of the Ave River and the greatness of the ocean, stands the hotel that now lives within the historic Santa Clara Monastery.
Its uniqueness is not confined to its remarkable architecture, but also extends to its ability to seamlessly blend historical legacy with contemporary comfort and sophistication. This magnificent building, with neoclassical features and exquisite symmetry, it’s a witness to the passage of time and exudes a commanding presence.
Its origins date back to 1318, the result of a dream by its founders. However, the Monastery as we know it today is the outcome of several renovation works carried out in the 18th century.
At The Lince Santa Clara, the past and present meet harmoniously, guided by the purpose of shaping unforgettable memories in every corner.
