Bussaco Palace Hotel

Stayed here one night while visiting the area. Room has really high ceilings but is otherwise small and not the most comfortable - clearly in an old building - a real palace - it’s the luck of the draw when it comes to rooms - they tend to be all different. Grounds are amazing, extensive with forest and gardens and ducks.

This is the worst experience i ever had. The woman at the reception was so rude. The property is not in good condition but honestly is the way they treat visitors and guests what make it awful

We stayed at the Bussaco Palace for two nights to celebrate my 60th birthday--what an incredible experience. The palace and the grounds are beautiful--the flowers were in full bloom. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. All the employees at the palace were kind, friendly, helpful, and very professional! The price was highly reasonable--I expected to pay more for a stay at a palace as beautiful as the Bussaco.

Great setting, poor hospitality services: no WiFi in rooms, no plugs in the room, overpriced restaurant with very mediocre fare. People are very nice, the settings are sumptuous but everything else is stuck in the 60's.

I was at this beautiful hotel more that 40 years ago with my parents, and wanted to show it to my husband. It was such a wonderful experience! The building itself is a jewel, it was the royal summer palace of the Portuguese monarchy and since early 1900’s became a hotel. Just looking into the neo-manueline style architecture, the beautiful mahogany wood furniture, the azulejo tile historical scenes and all the art it was worthy staying there! Ana, the front office clerk was marvelous! Professional, friendly and sweet, she made our stay such a great one. And of course, discovering the Mata de Buçaco, the forest where the hotel is located, was a joy! If you have the opportunity, don’t hesitate, stay at this awesome palace hotel!
