A faded beauty. Unfortunately there was rust coming out of the pipes in the bathroom. There was a very large rust stain in the bathtub. No wifi in the rooms..just downstairs in public area. Very limited television. Also, there is a restaurant that is Very overpriced. Having mentioned all the negatives, the grounds, walking paths and gardens are incredibly beautiful..

Beautifully ornate property. Very impressive decor throughout the common areas. Lots of good walking trails around the palace. The rooms are basic however and the food was abysmal.

Beautiful castle and gardens. Very helpful staff. Great breakfast. Did not eat dinner at the hotel, opted to eat dinner in the town of Luso and Coimbra. The castle is situated in a beautiful national forest and makes for a great adventure.

You're in a palace. What more do you need? Though, the rooms are a little older and run down, you're in a palace! They were clean and comfortable enough. It's so beautiful just to sit inside or in the gardens. Walking around Bussaco forrest is one of the most incredible experiences of my life. This was my second visit and I will be returning.

Buildt as a retreat for a king and later used as a resort for the rich. Spacious common rooms and a grand staircase. Excellent foods served in a beautiful dining room. The hotel is placed in a big park with numerous trails in the woods.

Outstanding historical property located on a high elevation with exceptional views. The staff went above & beyond to make our stay perfect. The restaurant on site serves delicious food. They have a full bar & massive historic lounge area. The sunsets were amazing & the extra deep & long bathtub was a joy after a long day. The furniture is antique & isn’t meant for people that like Marriott style rooms.
