The Palácio da Lousã is an emblazoned building of the XVIII century. Formerly 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 on sent to the
King's cellar in Lisbon, and the Chapel of our Lady of Sorrows, up on the mountain.
