We loved every single aspect of this escape. The location is stuning with breath taking views across the river and mountains.
The owners received us with a warm welcome and gave us useful information for our stay.
The place is cozy and tastefully decorated.
There is a hot tub available which made the experience even more romantic.
We loved the delicious breakfast and all the attention to detail.
I have already recommended this place to family and friends and will certainly come back.

The main reason to stay here is for walking the national forest trails and visit the Shicht villages which are a wonderful experience, Be advised reaching them is via a continuous, twisty mountain road that can be exhausting, So we only visited one--Candal--which we thoroughly enjoyed. There is nothing in Lousa itself so consider this area a relaxing stop for outdoor enjoyment that is a great and welcome contrast to busy Lisbon and Porto.

The old parts of Lousa on the hill all 100 to 200 years old and all just a few minutes from the hotel but there are few actual restaurants mainly cafes. The impressive church Square and the ballet school building are both near the Octant Palacio Hotel

Lousa is centrally located to explore the surrounding areas such as the shale stone village Talasnal, or nearby Gois and Arganil. Nature is at the forefront here and offers ample opportunities for hiking and exploring.

This location of the house is off the busy tourist routes and is very beautiful. The village and surrounding areas are exceptional. There are very few shops locally - which is great but generally anything you need can be bought in Lousa (12 km from the house) so don't forget anything :-).

Lousa in general needs to up its information game.
Lousa in general needs to up its information game. It was hard to find the tourist office in Lousa and when did find it it was closed.
We were able to get more info in Talasnal but not everything we needed. Tried to walk some trails but maps/trail info was incomplete.

I only spent one night there, in January. Incredibly heavy frost on the car which took ages to scrape off. I didn't particularly like the feel of the town, but that is always down to personal preference. The people I met were uniformly friendly and helpful.
Warm and welcoming Maria treats you like family. Setting is on peaceful property in the countryside outside Lousa. We stayed in the separate small cottage which was comfortable and would highly recommend. Quiet and a nice change from busy Lisbon. Exceptional breakfast each morning with fresh figs picked by Maria and homemade jams she makes from fruits grown on property along with pastries, fruits, meat and cheese; selection of breads, etc. Great value for the money. Note Maria only accepts cash--no credit cards.
The hotel is amazing with an excellent breakfast and cocktails. Bed and pillows so comfortable you could sleep all day. What is even more amazing about this place is the staff. Always smiling, helpful and easy going in the best way. They were so helpful in helping us get our delayed luggage and also in ordering a cab early in the morning and facilitating an early breakfast so we could catch our plane.
If you are ever in Lousa, you should definitely book this hotel and stay there.
You would never know from the front facade what a modern, and tastefully renovated property Casa Das Condessinhas is. The hotel was lovely, the owner Julia and her staff went above and beyond. Beds super comfy, breakfast perfect (with homemade cake!), a pool (too cold for us to use end of September), gym, and secure, free, onsite parking. Convenient to explore the Schist villages (we went to Piódão and Foz d’Egua) and hiked the 5k circular Talasnal/Castelo Lousã trail nearby.
Perfect location within walking distance to many restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, grocery stores and city centre. Large, comfortable, bright and clean apartment with all necessary amenities. Host was extremely helpful with many recommendations for dining and activities. Lousan is a great village for hiking and outdoor adventures and dining. Parking on side, free wifi, smart tv.
Everything about this Casa which is less a hotel and more of a home was wonderful. We felt so welcome and each staff member was caring and well informed and seemed genuinely interested is answering any questions we might have had.
Room and bed were very well done and breakfast was very good. The best value for the money one could possibly have.
Historic house perfectly renovated with lots of elements that remind its old days
Perfect location for quick access to Lousa and Aldeias de Xisto
Nearby river beach (5min on foot from the property)
Great outside space, with a well treated garden and a bunch of sheep
Comfortable house with well equipped kitchen and great bathrooms
Everything. It’s beautiful!!!! The family who own it are fantastic, really welcoming . Our rooms were great and the pool is wonderful. Staff were really friendly. Can’t recommend highly enough. If you are in Lousa then please stay here and support this fantastic family and their hotel.
This hotel is super - we had a wonderful stay here. The staff are sweet and charming just like the hotel itself. The breakfast was lush and full of many options. The rooms were spacious and welcomed us with delicious honey cookies as well as a homemade honey scrub for the shower.
The hotel was absolutely lovely, and it is perfectly situated for exploring the nearby Schist villages.
All the staff we met were very helpful, and the morning using the electric bikes available at the hotel was very good fun.
Thoroughly recommend.
We absolutely loved everything about our stay. Such a unique and beautiful experience. The food and service was unmatched. We have stayed at many resorts and hotel all over the world and this may be my best experience ever.
The location in a historic restored village and in a remote location in the Lousa mountains was incredible. The fact that it was also an artist residency was a bonus for us but our primary reason for visiting.
I cannot remember a single time when I repeated the location for my holidays, let alone the property/hotel. I was in Candal in this exact home in October, and came came last week.... I guess it means something.
Maria João was a wonderful host. She was so sweet provided everything we needed. You can tell alot of love and care was put into her house. She even gave us a parting gift. A book about the history of Lousã.
Location was perfect for my wifes medical appointments. Breakfast was excellent.
If we need to stay overnight again in Lousá we would use them again, very helpful.
Location! Quiet village very close to beautiful Serra da Lousã. Also, comfortable bed, great homemade breakfast. What a view from the swing in the property!
