The Hotel is amazing for those who like palaces. I staied in the older rooms and i have to say that it was really old but clean. One thing that i didn`t like was that you can hear the people in the next room, so if you have a light sleep can be difficult. The great thing that i loved... More

This is an amazing building, with spectacular grounds. Amazing walks around the forest and all in all very romantic. Cannot fault it on that. However the hotel in no way is a 5 star hotel. The staff are lovely and helpful, but the rooms not so nice. Bed was horribly uncomfortable, and there were some blue sparks coming out of... More

A once in a lifetime experience! From the overwhelming architecture to the beauty of the natural surroundings created through four centures - it is hard to beat. Not to forget the carring staff who from initial welcom to the serving of dinner made you feel like royalty. Tehe restorant was good value and although we had a minst cmplaint the... More

This hotel is one place you really have to put on your "bucket list"! It was built in the early 1900's in the Manueline gothic style as a retreat for the Portuguese royal family. It's in the middle of a forest which was first established by monks in the 14th century which contains exotic trees and ferns from all around... More

Extremely disappointing meal at the reastaurant. We sent 2 meals back to the kitchen because of undercooked fish. After that, the service was ignorant and unattentive. Very overpriced. We end up leaving a course out and taking our cheese plate to our room as the staff made us uncomfortable. Rooms are ok however we arrived at 1pm and were turned... More

I am so happy we stayed here. Yes, the rooms are outdated, and you feel a bit you are staying at your great-grand aunt's and it can be creepy, but it is like staying in one of those palaces that you visit when being on a sight seeing as well. You really feel like some sort of prince from past... More

Ever since I first stayed here (tragically on my own!!) I have told myself this is where I want to go for my honeymoon, it is so beautiful and romantic and peaceful and tranquil...set high above the coastal Portugal in a wonderful forest...surreal and such a contrast to life as we mostly know it!

I have stayed two times during the past 10 years at this hotel and it was a very unique experience. It was like being in another world. True, the rooms are very small and old fashioned, and it's not a modern hotel, but that is what makes it so different. My husband and I and our best friends couple had... More

We stayed a single night and I fell in love with the place. The next day we drove many kilometers to Porto and Braga but I just had to return to this fairy-tale location. The next night we were back in Bussaco Palace Hotel and had a warm welcome by the staff. We made a new reservation for an additional... More
