This is quite a wonderful place to stay. The Lousa Boutique hotel was once a real palace. It is still a beautiful emblazoned building and does have a "palace feeling" to it. The common areas are classy and very comfortable. Staff are extremely polite and helpful. Rooms are spotless, comfortable and tastefully decorated. When having your breakfast, which is well... More

Friendly, polite staff but I felt a bit sorry for the restaurant staff as they were so wrapped up in trying to be ridiculously 'silver service' that unfortunately the service was a bit hit and miss. Stunning building and stunning furniture and decor in the communal rooms. We had a standard room which lacked the palatial feel unfortunately - even... More

Apart from some troubles on the checkin (the old story: if it's not written, you didn't ask for it...) the stay was amazing. The hotel has a beautiful view and is located in a really calm place, far from any noise. Also they mixed the 18th century decoration (the original one) with modern decorations (because they had to expand the... More

The Melia Palacio is wonderful: you're surrounded by antique furnitures and you feel like you're in the middle of a movie! The room was nice even if a bit small. The place is in Lousa, I'd say "in the middle of nowhere", so if you want to relax is perfect; if you're planning to visit Coimbra you have to consider... More

We stayed at this Hotel for our anniversary and it was a very pleasant stay. We stayed in the largest room in the old palace part of the Hotel and the room was very large and comfortable. Some things needed a bit of TLC (scruff marks on the walls and furniture, stains in the carpet, cracks in the windows), but... More

Melia Palacio da Lousa Boutique is absolutely great hotel. I usually avoid hotel which has 'boutique' word in their name claiming (probably incorrectly) that this is excuse to have things done not exactly properly. With Melia Palacio de Lousa this was different - hotel is just perfect. I absolutely loved that. It's not often that I do have such positive... More

This hotel is quite unique.There is a historic side which was a palace and the other side is newer and modern. We stayed in the new side and got a very Nice room.We really enjoyed our stay. Would go back.

Very nice and cozy classic hotel, close to the fabulous Lousã Sierra. A great option for anyone who love the countryside and want to explore the sierra.

We stayed here as part of a Cosmos tour. Our advertised accommodation was for a hotel in Coimbra but was booked out, so our guide was directed to bring us here instead. It was about 7.30pm when we arrived and our room was in the new section and was quite nice. We had a set menu for dinner, and it... More
