Rooms keyboard_arrow_down
The old (and original) wing houses 23 individually decorated rooms and features rich interiors, frescoes and antique furnishings – evocative of the hotel’s grand history (the Duke of Wellington once used the building as his headquarters during the Peninsula War).
The property has a new, more modern wing too, also with 23 rooms. The décor here is more stripped back, but no less comfy, with views to the grounds and surrounding peaks. Which wing ticks your boxes?

Activities
Unwind with a good book in the picturesque gardens, or take a refreshing dip in the seasonal pool (particularly inviting after a day spent exploring the surrounding area). Several hiking trails of varying difficulties snake through the countryside, where you’ll find local wildlife such as deer and wild boar, and natural wonder such as waterfalls.
The hotel is excellently placed for those wanting to discover the Schist Villages, a series of historic settlements with unique slate buildings, many of which are now centres for traditional arts and crafts.

The Palcio is a beautiful hotel in stunning surroundings. Needs a bit of a refurbishment but it's getting that very soon.

Even if there arent many things to do in Lous, its worth so spend one night in this place. I travelled for 2 weeks across Portugal and this was one of the most comfortable location I slept (the weather obviously helped a lot, it was sunny but not hot, first days of May).I slept in the old palace, superior room, it was really spacious. The pool looks better in the official pictures of the hotel, then in reality (check my picture), however I dont really care, we stopped here to relax and we did.

We really enjoyed this place, great service and a building full of history. The town itself is very quaint, small and quiet, and plenty of greenery in the surrounding area, if that's what you're looking for. Extra marks for the outstanding breakfast.
