The municipality is limited to the north by Spain, to the east by the municipality of Vinhais, to the southeast by Valpaços, to the southwest by Vila Pouca de Aguiar and to the west by Boticas and Montalegre.

The main access routes are EN103 (starting in Neiva, near Viana do Castelo, where it connects with the EN13, and extends through a landscape that is multifaceted by the East of the Alto Minho, and throughout the North area of Trás-os- Montes, passing through places like Braga, Chaves, Vinhais, until finishing in Bragança) and the A24 (Chaves-Viseu). It also has an industrial zone with several regional companies. It can be said that it is an entrepreneurial city because, in terms of tourism, it presents rural tourism houses and good restaurants for the great lovers of Transmontana gastronomy.

"Make staying here a priority for your northern Portugal trip. It provides an amazing haven and break from the rush of travel. The grounds and village are heaven. Impeccably kept. The staff is kind, attentive, caring. The food is gourmet and local for extremely good value. The views are rejuvenating. The pools and sauna were spacious, clean and refreshing. I will find any reason to return! Muito obrigada!!!!!!!!!!!"

Top Santa Maria Maior Hotel Reviews

Forte de São Francisco Hotel

Forte de São Francisco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place. Almost a museum. Very good breakfast and restaurant. "

Vidago Palace

Vidago Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience from the moment we drove to the entrance. Very good service. Spectacular building, tasteful decor and beautiful surroundings. Incredible breakfast and amenities. The only few things that made me not give it 10/10 was the fact you have to pay 10€ to use the spa, which I can’t justify with a hotel of this price tag. Also, we wanted to be bougie and order room service but neither of the phones in the room was working so we had to go downstairs to order which kind of defeats the purpose. The only open fountain has very limited hours open. "
