Staff was very attentive and walked through the resort. Provided water on the exit and very nice hotel gifts. Buffett breakfast was very nice. Room was great and wonderful mountain view.

The space was perfect for our family of four, and the hosts were terrific and responsive with communication. Apartment is located in a quiet location within a few minutes walk of the center of town, and we loved the pellet stove at night when the temperature is dropped. (We stayed here in December).

The main reason to stay here is for walking the national forest trails and visit the Shicht villages which are a wonderful experience, Be advised reaching them is via a continuous, twisty mountain road that can be exhausting, So we only visited one--Candal--which we thoroughly enjoyed. There is nothing in Lousa itself so consider this area a relaxing stop for outdoor enjoyment that is a great and welcome contrast to busy Lisbon and Porto.

The old parts of Lousa on the hill all 100 to 200 years old and all just a few minutes from the hotel but there are few actual restaurants mainly cafes. The impressive church Square and the ballet school building are both near the Octant Palacio Hotel

Lousa is centrally located to explore the surrounding areas such as the shale stone village Talasnal, or nearby Gois and Arganil. Nature is at the forefront here and offers ample opportunities for hiking and exploring.

This location of the house is off the busy tourist routes and is very beautiful. The village and surrounding areas are exceptional. There are very few shops locally - which is great but generally anything you need can be bought in Lousa (12 km from the house) so don't forget anything :-).

Lousa in general needs to up its information game.
Lousa in general needs to up its information game. It was hard to find the tourist office in Lousa and when did find it it was closed.
We were able to get more info in Talasnal but not everything we needed. Tried to walk some trails but maps/trail info was incomplete.

I only spent one night there, in January.
I only spent one night there, in January. Incredibly heavy frost on the car which took ages to scrape off. I didn't particularly like the feel of the town, but that is always down to personal preference. The people I met were uniformly friendly and helpful.
The house is beautiful, rooms are spacious and well equipped. There is a kitchenette for use in each floor with a microwave, sink and a fridge. The common areas are clean, modern and there are dedicated spaces to children (indoors and outdoors).
The staff was exceptional, kind and always willing to help.
I particularly enjoyed the piano in the reception where guests are welcome to play.
The house in Lousã is central to visit aldeias do xisto. There are plenty of good restaurants within 3 min walk from the house.
Great and comfortable house with outdoor space and a pool for private use. It is in small and quiet village called Foz de Arouce, near Lousã. In the mountains around there are many traditional rehabilitated villages with walking routes linking some of them where you can see spetacular landscapes and taste traditional flavors.
Great hotel, came for a wedding, facilities are very charming. Pitty I didn't have more time to explore the hotel and the village, specially having those bikes ready for us.
Breakfast is very good and it comes with a view !
Delightful little hideaway in a romantic old stone village. Best to drive from the direction of Lousã as the road from the south is unpaved for several kilometres.
