A beautiful hotel in the middle of a beautiful park. It was sunny all the time so we spent a lot of time walking in the woods. Good service. Needs renewal. More

This is the place to visit in Portugal. We love it by the Palace, the gardens, the wood, the hotel, the restaurant, everything. It's a bit old and needs restauration. It's a very quiet and charming place, Don't miss it More

My main advice is: take your time, go in the morning, bring a snack, get a map when you arrive and just enjoy the day walking in the park and woods. Its a beautifull place, great to go with kids. Definitely recommend it. More

Fantastic Hotel with superb grounds that are protected by the state. A collection of very old trees and shrubs amongst which you can wander in their shady groves. More

Reminder of what Portugal once was, hard to dislike. For all the reasons. The food is great, as is the wine, the gardens are lovely. More

Palece of Bussaco is an hotel and an amazing monument. You can just walk on the park, or you can see the palace, stay there for a night or simply have a meal at the restaurant or bar. A must to see. More

The forest is beautiful for walking around and discovering all the little hidden chapels and ruins and the Coimbra gate. Great for photos. Just wouldn't recommend the hotel, its is run... More
