Hotel Palace Hotel do Bussaco

Mata do Bussaco, 3050-261 Luso, Portugal –

A unique hotel , a beautiful place: the palace itself, the surrounding park and the gardens were amazing. The staff was very helpfull and friendly. Rooms are spacious and comfortable . Breakfast was very good.

Kareem, Israel

Palace public rooms lovely. Old world charm. Staff very gracious and helpful. Grounds under some renovations.

Cherryll, United States of America

This is a beautiful old property. Truly one of a kind. Yes, the rooms are old but we expected that for the age of the property. The staff was warm and attentive - you could tell they took great pride in the Palace.

Aleese, United States of America

Absolutely beautiful building, located in a national park, peaceful and quiet. The restaurant inside the hotel is awesome, totally recommend, love their wine.

Jessica, United States of America

It was an amazing experience to stay in a real palace and feel like a queen walking up that incredible staircase. The palace is jaw-droppingly beautiful inside and out. The grounds were lovely to walk around too. I loved that it was a little remote, because driving through the Buccaca forest to get to the palace transports you to a different time and place. Really wonderful experience! Dinner at the restaurant was excellent.

Mk, United States of America

Beautiful property, gorgeous grounds. Rooms in the main building are a bit dated, but I found that charming.

Caroline, United States of America

The place around and all the public areas are fabulous. Good breakfast.

Hanitta, Israel

Amazing location, in the middle of the forest and gardens

Meir, Israel

Very attractive common areas. After all, it was a palace!

In the Bussaco National Forest, this 5-star hotel occupies 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 at Palace Hotel do Bussaco’s restaurant. It is decorated with paintings by João Vaz, Moorish ceilings and exotic hardwood floors. Guests can try a glass of rare Port vintage at the bar.

The individually decorated rooms have a classic décor and satellite TV for a modern twist. They all include antique furniture, ranging from 18-century to Art Nouveau pieces, and some rooms overlook 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.

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

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

The dinner menu was not impressive and poor value for the 210 euros it cost us! Go for the location and experience but take your gold card with you.
It cannot be compared to the run of the mill hotels. It is a unique hotel in a unique location with historical links to both the monarchy and the battleground. As such it meets every need . The dinners are of a rather nouvelle cuisine and don't expect much for your money. Bottle of wine lowest price is 34 euros! Rooms are spacious and comfortable but they are what they are in a building designed for another purpose.

The restaurant and bar are very expensive and unjustified. 20 USD for a gin and tonic at the bar and 6 euros as cover charge for one person for dinner are outrageous. In addition, no WI- FI, no AC, no elevators. These should be taken into consideration while deciding to come to this hotel.
The surroundings and the hotel itself are beautiful. The Bucaco forest is lovely.
