Great location overlooking the town of Luso
If you're looking for luxury, you won't find it here. This is an old hotel with its own unique character. The beds are hard and the hotel could do with some upgrading, but otherwise it's reasonably comfortable. Towels in the bathroom were paper thin. I found the person at reception somewhat abrupt when we checked in, but the staff in the dining room were very pleasant and accommodating. The grounds are lovely with a nice quiet pool area to relax in.

Overall had a nice hotel stay, great for some fresh air and peace and quiet. Very clean. Free parking. No AC or fan though it was cool enough. Beautiful view of the town. Did not find the bed/pillows very comfortable.
