The main reason to stay here is for walking the national forest trails and visit the Shicht villages which are a wonderful experience, Be advised reaching them is via a continuous, twisty mountain road that can be exhausting, So we only visited one--Candal--which we thoroughly enjoyed. There is nothing in Lousa itself so consider this area a relaxing stop for outdoor enjoyment that is a great and welcome contrast to busy Lisbon and Porto.

The old parts of Lousa on the hill all 100 to 200 years old and all just a few minutes from the hotel but there are few actual restaurants mainly cafes. The impressive church Square and the ballet school building are both near the Octant Palacio Hotel

Lousa is centrally located to explore the surrounding areas such as the shale stone village Talasnal, or nearby Gois and Arganil. Nature is at the forefront here and offers ample opportunities for hiking and exploring.

This location of the house is off the busy tourist routes and is very beautiful. The village and surrounding areas are exceptional. There are very few shops locally - which is great but generally anything you need can be bought in Lousa (12 km from the house) so don't forget anything :-).

Lousa in general needs to up its information game.
Lousa in general needs to up its information game. It was hard to find the tourist office in Lousa and when did find it it was closed.
We were able to get more info in Talasnal but not everything we needed. Tried to walk some trails but maps/trail info was incomplete.

I only spent one night there, in January.
I only spent one night there, in January. Incredibly heavy frost on the car which took ages to scrape off. I didn't particularly like the feel of the town, but that is always down to personal preference. The people I met were uniformly friendly and helpful.
Warm and welcoming Maria treats you like family. Setting is on peaceful property in the countryside outside Lousa. We stayed in the separate small cottage which was comfortable and would highly recommend. Quiet and a nice change from busy Lisbon. Exceptional breakfast each morning with fresh figs picked by Maria and homemade jams she makes from fruits grown on property along with pastries, fruits, meat and cheese; selection of breads, etc. Great value for the money. Note Maria only accepts cash--no credit cards.
Simply awesome. We found a cozy house, complete and well decorated. We really liked the space rehabilitation!
The air conditioning throughout the house is very efficient and silent, we didn't feel the negative temperatures that were in the city!
Pedro and Marina are very friendly and helped a lot with several recommendations.
The house is right in the center next to a large garden and swimming pool, very quiet area. It's easy on foot, reaching all restaurants and supermarkets! We will return here to explore Lousã.
You would never know from the front facade what a modern, and tastefully renovated property Casa Das Condessinhas is. The hotel was lovely, the owner Julia and her staff went above and beyond. Beds super comfy, breakfast perfect (with homemade cake!), a pool (too cold for us to use end of September), gym, and secure, free, onsite parking. Convenient to explore the Schist villages (we went to Piódão and Foz d’Egua) and hiked the 5k circular Talasnal/Castelo Lousã trail nearby.
The house is perfectly located 10km outside Lousã. The surrounded area is quiet and very beautiful. The view is breathtaking for people wanting to switch off for a couple of days.
We booked last minute, as we had other plans/accomodation but we had to bring our dog. So thanks to our Host for letting us check-in earlier and check-out later, due to work commitments.
The house is very beautiful and cosy.
Perfect location within walking distance to many restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, grocery stores and city centre. Large, comfortable, bright and clean apartment with all necessary amenities. Host was extremely helpful with many recommendations for dining and activities. Lousan is a great village for hiking and outdoor adventures and dining. Parking on side, free wifi, smart tv.
Everything about this hotel was amazing, best hotel I have ever stayed at and best hotel breakfast I have had and I travel a lot! and the staff were super attentive. I asked for a crib for our baby and when we got to our room he had a crib and his own little padded tent on the floor and a complimentary toy. I will definitely be back here! Can't recommend this place enough
Everything about this Casa which is less a hotel and more of a home was wonderful. We felt so welcome and each staff member was caring and well informed and seemed genuinely interested is answering any questions we might have had.
Room and bed were very well done and breakfast was very good. The best value for the money one could possibly have.
Great and comfortable house with outdoor space and a pool for private use. It is in small and quiet village called Foz de Arouce, near Lousã. In the mountains around there are many traditional rehabilitated villages with walking routes linking some of them where you can see spetacular landscapes and taste traditional flavors.
We absolutely loved everything about our stay. Such a unique and beautiful experience. The food and service was unmatched. We have stayed at many resorts and hotel all over the world and this may be my best experience ever.
Staff were excellent, very helpful. Facilities were very good and the hotel is centrally located. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding. Probably the best I have had in Portugal.
Highly recommended.
Lousã is like a second home to me, and Cerdeira has a special place in my heart.
I love the location, the well equipped and cozy houses, the views over the mountains and of course the kindness of everyone there.
Maria João was a wonderful host. She was so sweet provided everything we needed. You can tell alot of love and care was put into her house. She even gave us a parting gift. A book about the history of Lousã.
Warm reception, fresh grapes to pick from the vines. A short drive to Lousa and other small cities. Very quiet place, with stunning stars and night skies. Very blissful breakfast and peaceful atmosphere.
The most helpful and nice staff I have met ate a hotel. The fact that this is a family run business shows why they put their heart and soul into the business and helping their visitors feel at home.
fabulous staff in every area. delicious restaurant and breakfast and really nice spacious rooms. The palace is a palace, beautifully restored and maintained. my second time and I will be back!
Like 5 Star hotel!!! You have everything you need in the room, and everything is well organised and super clean. We didn't want to leave (:
Beautiful place, and very good breakfast 😊
