WHERE TO SLEEP
The Bussaco Palace has all the features of the dreamer’s “romantic palace” – set in the heart of the glorious Bussaco National Park, high on a hill, and resplendent in its decorative Manueline-Gothic architecture, this legendary Palace was built for the last King of Portugal in 1885, converted into a deluxe hotel in 1917, and is nowadays one of the most beautiful and historic hotels in the world. You see another similar palace in Sintra (same architect).
