We stayed in Luso for two nights and enjoyed our time. It is remote so we did not feel as though we needed more time there than we had but we did visit the local spa which we enjoyed and we had the best meal all trip in town!
Definitely worth stopping in at.

The town is well worth a visit.
The town is well worth a visit.
It was a shame we didn't have more time fo the thermal baths - they're not open on a Sunday.
Buçaco forest is magical, make lots of time to go there and spend at least a full day.
If you can stay in the Palace, it is well worth it.

The Bussaco Castle was beyond our expectations, the hotel staff were amazing, a representative showed us the lobby area and the amenities prior to our room arrival after our check in. We had a fantastic room (The Queen room). There are several activities to do such the visit to the convent/museum, the shop, and long walking trails in the forest, this was an incredible stay for us to celebrate a very special event, we had dinner at the hotel and the dinner was superb, the bartender knows how to make great mix drinks, the entire staff in the hotel were welcoming, friendly and courteous. This castle is truly one of a kind and highly recommend it to my friends!

Located in the heart of the Serra do Bussaco, Palace Hotel do Bussaco is an excellent example of Manueline-Gothic architecture. Its richly decorated corridors feature antique furnishings, large paintings and traditional Portuguese glazed tiles. Bussaco National Forest is wonderful.

Luso itself is a small nineteenth-century spa town--not much to do there except 'take the waters' (which my wife did, very enthusiastically) and walk in the national forest. It's a place for the sensitive, quieter traveller, rather than someone seeking thrills and excitement.
This beautiful property is run by a very, very sweet couple. We only stayed one night as a quick stop so we could visit the Bussaco National Forest and Palace, and it was perfect. The grounds were gorgeous, they had a little swing set and slide for our 2 year old son to play on, breakfast was delicious, and the hosts recommended a great restaurant in Luso for dinner. Wish we would have been there for warmer weather to enjoy the pool! Next time!
It’s a large family managed hotel, with a familiar sense.
It has a lovely spacious sitting room by reception and a
working lift to get you to your room. The cleaning staff
are very friendly and the hotel owner is a legend.
It’s located right in the middle of Luso centro so all is in
reach. The bedroom has good air conditioner which is
brilliant for the hot days.
This hotel has loads of potential and I know it’s being
improved each year.
The Accomodation is located in a beautiful, green setting and with lots of space around. The room we had was also super spacious. We were able to park our bikes in a safe location. From the hotel it is only a short walk into Luso.
The host was incredible friendly. Breakfast was nice and plenty. We only stayed for a night but really liked the place and certainly would come back.
Our stay was perfect. A beautiful hotel with loads of character. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. We also had a lovely terrace, which was a a bonus. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good, a buffet style with the option of cooked eggs and bacon. Good coffee and plenty of it. All serve in a beautiful dinning room.
Proximity to: thermal spa, path to the Bucaco forest, restaurants, cafes.
Air conditioning in the bedroom
Air dryer in the bathroom (one of the working ones, not those you normally find in hotels and takes ages to dry your hair)
Two window-doors leading to two teeny tiny balconies (only possible to stand in there, but still super cute)
Exceptional hotel at the heart of Bussaco forest. We were lost for words when we arrived. the stay was very comfortable and dining at the hotel was top notch. Everybody loved breakfast options. Walking in the beautiful forest and down to the town of Luso was so relaxing and peaceful. We loved our stay.
Lovely small Chateaux, in Luso Spa town. The house is located within walking distance of Luso town centre, and close to Bussaco Green Park, a natural reserve and romantic park, where you can walk and discover an extraordinary botanical collection, including some giant trees.
Staff were very helpful and always available. special mention of front desk staff who were quick and efficient in check-in and giving a brief guide to hotel. Whole experience was good. only stayed one night so not able to experience walks, etc.
Sylvia is a delightful host! Room was a suite, comfortable and warm (November). Hot water for the shower, a must have for me. Easy walk to a delicious dinner in town of Luso. Amazing breakfast at the villa.
Beautiful building with history attached to it ! Fantastic location with work wonderful views! Just perfect to visit luso ..
Hosts are just lovely couldn’t rate my stay high enough !!
The owner was gracious and very helpful.
The hotel is historic, comfortable and very clean.
The breakfast was lovely, housed in a room with a wonderful clock collection.
Staff was welcoming and helpful. Good location, walk away from the center . Nice old style hotel. Fair breakfast, although coffee at the standards of Portugal was poor .
