The hotel and grounds are beautiful - well worth staying a night. It's not everyday that you get to sleep in a former palace! The dining room, lounges, halls are ornately finished. The restaurant was expensive for dinner, but absolutely delicious. Breakfast is a wonderful buffet. Definitely eat on the terrace so you can enjoy the views of the forest and exterior of the building. It's probably the most beautiful outdoor dining I've ever seen. The only negatives are that the rooms are small and the bathrooms are tired and need to be updated. The WiFi doesn't work in the rooms, but you don't go to a place like this for the WiFi!

Instead of driving from Lisbon to Porto in one shot, we stayed overnight at the castle. WOW! Living in the US it is not uncommon to spend over $200 for a fairly plain room in a generic hotel located next to a highway. Our room cost less than that and it was in a BEAUTIFUL castle, surrounded by a forest with hiking trails, with nice gardens, and incredible living rooms and porches. I had seen mixed reviews of the dinner online... my wife and I had dinner and breakfast at the castle and the food and service were great... among the best we had during our 10-day trip to Portugal.
It is about 2.5 hours from Lisbon, and about 1 hour from Porto. We arrived in Lisbon from the US, saw Lisbon for a few days, then took the train to Sintra. We rented our car in Sintra, and drove to the castle arriving around 5pm. Had a great time hanging in and around the castle, had a great dinner, and a great breakfast the next morning, and then headed off to Porto. So glad we did not visit a big city, and then do a long drive straight to another fairly big city. Bussaco Palace was the perfect place to pause in between Portugal's two big cities.

Very relaxing and reinvigorating place. Make sure to stay at least 2 days to enjoy the magnificent lounge areas, excellent restaurant and beautiful surrounding forest
