Canavezes Palace – Holistic Wellness Clinic Hotel

A hot-springs place without a historically accurate beginning, but through the few existing records, is believed to be prior to the foundation of the country. According to Pinho Leal, these medicinal waters would spring naturally between the rocks in ancient times, and the Romans knew and bathed in them.

These thermal waters were discovered by the Romans, in the year 110 A.D., under the rule of Emperor Trajan, and were then called ” Aquae Tamacanae” because of the vicinity to Tamaca (Tâmega River).
The therapeutic qualities of these waters prompted such a high development to the Hot spring bathes created by the Roman people, that soon, the need to build a bridge across the Tâmega as well as a Roman road was necessary for the patient’s transport.

The improvement of the thermal facilities would stimulate, still in the first decade of the XX century, the construction of the building Hotel Palácio das Caldas de Canavezes.

The hot springs and the Hotel Palácio de Canavezes are a national heritage whose identity was built through the centuries and continues until today in the memory of the older generations.

From the necessity, of other times, to provide a hotel response to Caldas de Canavezes user, a unique place was born, and without that pretension, would become a seasonal touristic resort of excellence.
We are committed to reviving this unique bond, by adapting it to contemporary hotel needs and to a pleasant and comfortable stay during any time of the year.
