Housed in an 18th-century palace, this hotel blends a historical setting with picturesque views of the Lousã Mountains. Set in beautiful gardens, Octant Lousa features an outdoor pool.

This hotel is stunning. Clean and well cared for, the staff clearly care about the hotel and it's reputation. Breakfast was delicious and had great variety. I would recommend Octant Lousa to any and all travellers. Wow.
Located at 7.5 mi from Lousã, this rustic property is surrounded by nature and overlooks the mountain. The nearest bus stop is 8.7 mi from Talasnal Montanhas de Amor.

Very spacious, yet cozy, apartment. Full kitchen downstairs with all the appliances you could ask for. Has a woodstove (would have been nice in the winter). Really awesome views of the mountains. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The space was perfect for our family of four, and the hosts were terrific and responsive with communication. Apartment is located in a quiet location within a few minutes walk of the center of town, and we loved the pellet stove at night when the temperature is dropped. (We stayed here in December).

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.
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.
The house is beautiful, rooms are spacious and well equipped. There is a kitchenette for use in each floor with a microwave, sink and a fridge. The common areas are clean, modern and there are dedicated spaces to children (indoors and outdoors).
The staff was exceptional, kind and always willing to help.
I particularly enjoyed the piano in the reception where guests are welcome to play.
The house in Lousã is central to visit aldeias do xisto. There are plenty of good restaurants within 3 min walk from the house.
Oh what an experience .
apparently most of Talasnal isnt full at this time of year (hotels and restaurants) are not open. So it seemed that the only running place was this place. Moreover, lovely Marisa is living in Lousa and wasn't there at night. So me and my fellow were the only people IN THE ENTIRE VILLAGE!
Since no restaurants were open, MArisa managed for us to have basic staff for dinner and breakfast. The place is כfully equipt
rooms are beautifully designed and painted.
loved the place!
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.
Nelio is a terrific host, very responsive and helpful! The studio is brand new, VERY clean and has great towels. Location is terrific, too! Spacious and pleasant, nice light, good AC, good cooking facilities for a solo stay. Really appreciated the excellent service and kindness. Terrific restaurants across the street and down the block - try Taberna Burguesa, Villa Lausana and the hotel restaurant. Sushi Taco also lovely.
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.
Really awesome experience from the greeting at the desk all the way through to check out. Everyone was friendly and the hotel was very beautiful... Lots of little extras like fresh tea brought to our rook as well as cookies. Plus other nice little touches. They get what it takes to exceed expectations. Totally impressed and would definitely stay again when we return to the area!
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.
An amazing and unique place to stay with breathtaking views, especially for nature passionates, animal lovers. The hosts are very friendly people who prepare the accommodation with all care. The house is located on the way of beautiful trail, joining other villages. 25 minutes by car from Ecological park Serra da Lousã. We will be back!
A great place to stay just 5 mins walk from the gorge. The hosts were super friendly with lots of advice about where to visit and eat. Breakfast served in the room each morning was excellent. Would highly recommend to stay here if you are looking to be completely immersed in the Serre da Lousa.
Nice friendly staff. I had stayed in this hotel 30 yrs previously so wanted to return for old times sake , Totally tranformed . Very clean and all fine. It's lost a bit of the old 'character' but much brighter and cleaner now. Nice view from our window
Friendly small hotel with a superb location for trips in the mountains, proximity to the centre of Lousa and restaurants, free parking. Our room was comfortable and clean, wi-fi good, continental breakfast very OK. Good relation value/price
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.
Lousã is like a second home to me, and Cerdeira has a special place in my heart.
I love the location, the well equipped and cozy houses, the views over the mountains and of course the kindness of everyone there.
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.
Warm reception, fresh grapes to pick from the vines. A short drive to Lousa and other small cities. Very quiet place, with stunning stars and night skies. Very blissful breakfast and peaceful atmosphere.
fabulous staff in every area. delicious restaurant and breakfast and really nice spacious rooms. The palace is a palace, beautifully restored and maintained. my second time and I will be back!
Everything beautifully hotel , wonderful restaurant lovely staff .. extremely comfortable big rooms , best sleep we’ve had in ages , fantastic shower the water is amazing.
