An impressive place to stay at with a magnificient forest to discover that is only 3 minutes away by walk. And such a reasonable price for all the beautifulness we can get to see around. Food was great and the breakfast, which is free, was super delicious.

Behnaz Japan

The staff were amazing and the food was excellent and the location wonderful

Moa0320 Taiwan

Quite literally the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed at, lovingly maintained, full of period furniture. You really do feel as if you're staying at a royal palace--which this was. Enchanting for anyone who enjoys the atmosphere of the Romantic period. Some first-rate artworks on the walls, too.

Garry United States

The history about the place!!! And the way the kept it looking like almost intact!!!

Jorge Portugal

The breakfast was amazing but the neo-manueline architectural style was the big seller for me. Incredible!

Filipe United Kingdom

the breakfast was awesome beyond our expectations/ the check in clerk gave a a tour round the historical aspects and this was above and beyond the call of duty. it was a wonderful stay just too short for all there was to enjoy

Fergus Zambia

Fairy tale palace with an amazing restaurant! The experience was like travelling in time! Very confortable bed and delicious breakfast!

António Portugal

Set in the Bussaco National Forest, this 5-star hotel is housed in the hunting palace of the last Portuguese kings. Its elegant restaurant offers a range of exclusive Bussaco wines.

Classic French cuisine and traditional Portuguese dishes are served Palace Hotel do Bussaco’s restaurant. It is decorated with paintings by João Vaz, Moresque ceilings and exotic-wood floors. Guests can try a glass of rare Port vintage at the bar.

The individually decorated rooms have a classic décor and a satellite TV for a modern twist. They all include period furniture, ranging from 18-century to Art-Nouveau pieces, and some rooms overlooks the hotel’s extensive gardens.

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.

Located in the heart of the Serra do Bussaco, Palace Hotel do Bussaco is about 18 miles from Coimbra.
