The Palácio da Lousã is an emblazoned building of the XVIII century. Formerly the Palace of Viscondessa do Espinhal, it is classified as Historical Heritage. Located in Lousã's historical center, renowned entry point of the Schist Villages Route, the Hotel offers a warm atmosphere with stunning views of the Lousã Mountains. The Hotel surroundings invite you to enjoy nature. You can observe wild game (deers and wild boars) in their natural habitat and visit a set of secular buildings, such as the medieval Arouce Castle, the wells of the Real Neveiro, where ice was stored in the winter to be later sent to the King's cellar in Lisbon, and the Chapel of our Lady of Sorrows, up on the mountain.
