Alegre Hotel  

Set in a historic manor on the edge of Bussaco National Forest, about 800 m from Luso centre and a short drive from the Termas de Luso and Palace of Bussaco. This boutique, family-friendly hotel sits in woodland roughly 20 km north of Coimbra and about 220 km from Lisbon.

An intimate boutique property with 18 rooms, housed in a converted manor and tucked into mature gardens. Rooms blend manor charm with modern touches — LED TVs, safes, complimentary bottled water, hairdryers and private bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. Expect forest-framed views, a sun terrace and a quietly stylish, laid-back vibe.

Outdoor pool with a poolside bar, sun terrace and shaded gardens for lazy afternoons. On-site restaurant and bar, parking and Wi‑Fi in public areas. Wander the nearby rambling trails through Bussaco woodland or pop over to the Termas de Luso for a thermal bath.

Complimentary wireless internet in rooms and public areas keeps you connected. Lobby and reception services are available to help with arrivals and local info.

Alegre Bar is a poolside bar/lounge where you can sip drinks with a view. Buffet breakfast is offered daily (for a fee), and limited room service is available.
