Was the first time we visit this nice village Lousã. We stayed in Meliá Hotel Boutique and no doubt the hotel it´s perfect to the place - it was a palace in the past, and the work done in it keeps is beauty and charming. The village is small but for couple of days far from the noise and stress... more

First of all we have missed entrance couple of times, which was a bit frustrating after long drive. Sign in front of the doors is very small and just about when you come close to it you can see down the street, hotel parking sign so you naturally go there and end up on the back entrance. Finally we found... more

I stayed at this hotel for one single night in August 2008. Did not use the restaurant so I cannot comment on the food. The hotel is an old "solar" (manor house) in the centre of Lousa, a very quiet and small city in the centre of Portugal. Lousã is not that beautiful or touristic, but interesting if you want... more

Old property converted fairly recently into a Hotel. This Hotel was in Lousa, a small Town and was really difficult to locate despite 3 attempts by locals to direct us, wrongly, there. It has a nice pool. The Restaurant food was a bit too much on art and not enough on quantity for our liking but nice enough. Staff friendly... more

Lousa is a bit off the beaten path and definitely not one of the tourist hotspots of Portugal. But if you'd like to discover a more genuine side of the country, Lousa and this hotel can be great fun. The hotel is actually a beautifully renovated XVIIIth century mansion, one of the most beautiful ones in Lousã - and there... more

I am surprised to find negative comments about this hotel. We actually loved it ( can you tell?). Gorgeous building, spacious room, clean and with anything you need in it. The restaurant was a great experience. Good list of local wines. It was too cold for the pool,however we sat next to it for the beautiful view. Great for honeymooners,... more

The Palacio da Lousa was somewhat a deception. The hotel facade looks very impressive and the setting is OK. But as usual the devil is in the detail. Although the rooms were spotless clean (we had a superior palace room), the same cannot be said of the bar, corridors or other communal places. Curtains and carpets are in desparate need... more

The hotel is beautiful, the restaurant is exceptional the pool is delightful. But the air-conditioning is very noisy even when switched off. The view from the gardens is of a housing estate. The front rooms are on a very busy lane, the traffic is busiest at night, when the Portuguese socialize. Lousã is a quaint little town that really comes... more

I stayed at this hotel for the first time almost a year ago, just a few months after it opened. By that time, the experience was great. It was brand new, beautifully decorated and the room was amazing (as it was my girfriend's birthday and the hotel had almost no one but us, they kindly upgraded us to one of... more
