An amazing palace full of history. Built in neo-manuelino style inside a lush forest, this palace is one of a kind. The rooms are of course and understandably not comparable with those of a modern 5 star hotel ( the palace is 200+ years old), but you don’t go to Bussaco for this. You go for the amazing atmosphere, the great salons, the historic furniture, the custom- made azulejos with scenes from the Os Lusíadas and from the Battle of Buçaco, for the walks in the incredibly beautiful forest. The breakfast is legendary, served in the most amazing salon of Portugal.
Situated on the slopes of Buçaco Mountain, this hotel is only 1 km from the Buçaco Forest and is a 2-minute walk from Luso’s thermal spa. It has a restaurant.
Set in a garden with an outdoor pool, Inatel Luso features spacious rooms. The hotel is located in the Buçaco Forest, just 150 metres from Luso’s thermal baths.

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.
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.
The trails in the forest around the palace are freely accessible to those who arrive on foot or by cycling. The hotel staff is caring and the food service and restaurant staff are fantastic. The hotel has a homey feel to it, and its beautiful setting encourages you to get outdoors and explore. The breakfast is amazing. We hope to return!
The Vila was walking distance to the spa and town of Luso. The beautiful grounds and Vila are being carefully renovated. our bath and shower we new and plenty of hot water. we had a sweet with two beds. one in the alcove and another in the main bedroom. perfect for friends to share. With parking in the driveway.
The wonderful, dreamy location, but you can't consider it 5 stars. All the furniture is old, pieces of lime fall from the ceiling, the carpet in the room is stained and old. The morning meal was good and the staff very friendly. It is not their fault that the hotel is not maintained in better conditions.
Sylvia was a most kind, gracious hostess. There to check me in, there in the morning to cook a to-order breakfast in a beautiful dining room. An elegant old home with a handful of rooms, furnished with antiques. Spacious, up-to-date bathroom. Pretty, quiet grounds and easy parking.
The setting is nice and romantic. The service is outstanding. The room is spacious - largest Hotel room we ever stayed in. The bathroom is larger than some hotel rooms we stayed at ...
The surrounding gardens and forest are very pleasant to walk thru.
The architecture of the palace and gardens are stunning. This is what you pay for.
For a 5 star hotel there is no porter service which is rather surprising and our room was rather small.
The menu is for fine dining lovers
Lovely hotel right in the centre of Luso. The hotel is clean and very comfortable, the bar area was very nice. Breakfast was great plenty of choice. The swimming pool was amazing and the fitness area was very well equipped.
The large quiet room. The cleaniless. The view which embraces the town and its surroundings. The whole hotel and its ambiance that take us back to a foregone time. The owners and staff's friendliness.
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 !!
We had a wonderful stay at Vila Aurora. The house is beautiful, the bed was so comfortable and the staff was amazing. The breakfast was delicious and Luso is a lovely town to explore.
The room size, bed, bathroom and breakfast were all great at the hotel. However we went there for the spa, which is not part of the hotel and it's an awful spa
