Bussaco Palace Hotel, Royal palace hotel in Luso, Portugal
The Palace Hotel do Bussaco occupies a Neo-Manueline castle structure with stone carvings, turrets, and detailed Portuguese tiles decorating its exterior walls.
King Charles I of Portugal commissioned this palace in 1888 as a royal retreat, which later transformed into a luxury hotel in 1917.
The hotel restaurant serves traditional Portuguese dishes alongside exclusive Bussaco wines in dining rooms adorned with paintings by João Vaz.
The hotel maintains 40 bedrooms and 4 suites with period furnishings, located 29 kilometers from Coimbra and 112 kilometers from Porto Airport.
The palace stands within the Bussaco National Forest, established by Carmelite monks who planted rare trees gathered during Portuguese maritime explorations.
