Palace Hotel Bussaco, Luso, Portugal - Antique Hotels on Waymarking.com

The hotel is surrounded by 80 hectares (250 acres) of woodland originally planted by Carmelite monks with trees brought from the New World by Portuguese sailors. The place was formerly a Benedictine hermitage, founded in the 6th century; over 1500 years, many small chapels and grottoes have been built.

Since 1917, the residence was turned into an hotel and today is a major attraction of the region and the country. It has 60 rooms, all still decorated as if they stood still from the past.
