Situated within private, well-maintained gardens in the centre of Lousa, and enjoying stunning views over the Serra da Lousa natural park, is the Hotel Palacio da Lousa. Dating from the 18th century, this former palace of Viscondessa do Espinhal has been carefully restructured and expanded to create a 4-star hotel.
