Arrivals & Check-in
Contactless check-in, practical layout, settle straight in
Summary: Idyllic palace hotel. Obviously an amazing venue. Not 5 star amenities. Thin walls, 7 fuzzy local TV stations. Small rooms (very euro small).
Be blown away by the location and buildings as well as wood walking paths and national parks/forest. Be prepared for no air conditioning, hearing your neighbor sneeze, a married couple cannot move 2 single beds together.

Summary: Instead of driving from Lisbon to Porto in one shot, we stayed overnight at the castle. WOW! Living in the US it is not uncommon to spend over $200 for a fairly plain room in a generic hotel located next to a highway. Our room cost less than that and it was in a BEAUTIFUL castle, surrounded by a forest with hiking trails, with nice gardens, and incredible living rooms and porches. I had seen mixed reviews of the dinner online... my wife and I had dinner and breakfast at the castle and the food and service were great... among the best we had during our 10-day trip to Portugal.
It is about 2.5 hours from Lisbon, and about 1 hour from Porto. We arrived in Lisbon from the US, saw Lisbon for a few days, then took the train to Sintra. We rented our car in Sintra, and drove to the castle arriving around 5pm. Had a great time hanging in and around the castle, had a great dinner, and a great breakfast the next morning, and then headed off to Porto. So glad we did not visit a big city, and then do a long drive straight to another fairly big city. Bussaco Palace was the perfect place to pause in between Portugal's two big cities.

Summary: Fantastic hotel (it’s a Palace really) - staff great, although no air conditioning which normally isn’t an issue but with temp up in the high 30’s means sleeping on the top of the bedclothes is a requirement.
Overall a fantastic place to stay.

Summary: Its a wonderful palace. The grounds offer hiking trails. Rooms did not have AC, but open window was sufficient and provided nature sounds. Breakfast on the patio listenening to the birds was great.
