Location description
This hotel is located 200 m from Lousã town centre. Restaurants, clubs and bars can be found between 1 and 2 km away. From Lousã castle guests can admire the charming chapels erected in honour of Nossa Senhora dos Aflitos, S. João Batista, Nossa Senhora da Agonia and, right on top of the mountain, the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Piedade. This could be the beginning of one of the many routes that lead guests, on foot or by jeep, to explore the Lousã Mountain. But Lousã is not only a mountain, it has many other interesting sights: manor houses dating from the 18th and 19th Centuries are a feature on many streets. The Misericordia and its chapel, the parish church, and the beautiful Baroque-style building of the town council contribute to this walk through history ending at the medieval bridge of Foz de Arouce.
