The mattress on our bed was not conducive to a good sleep. It was extremely hard.

Our hosts were very kind, warm, and helpful. The property is beautiful and situated close to the Bussaco Forest. Our hosts spoke English very well, which we were grateful for and they gave us helpful directions and explanations. The breakfast was very good and we were given tea in the afternoon. Our room was attractive and the bathroom had a tub, which was very relaxing.

Everything!!

Everything! We were so welcomed by the lovely owners Maria & Oscar. They were very helpful recommending the 2 best restaurants nearby & building fires just for us where we sipped the wine that we brought & coffee in the morning. Our room was spacious, well appointed & had the best bedding that we’ve had so far. The bathroom was huge & everything was sparkling clean. The house is absolutely charming & filled with memories of their life here. Breakfast was amazing served by their lovely helper in their dining room very elegantly. We were offered Eggs, cheeses, meats, yogurt with a delicious platter of fruit, sooo many choices of the best breads & pastries, jams & butter with our tea & coffee. A feast! We just wished that we had booked more nights with them. Thank you dear Maria & Oscar!

We walked from the bus stop, maybe only 200 metres, but along the main road without a big shoulder, so it felt a bit dangerous. And then up many stairs to the house. The owner said we could have called him to pick us up, which was sweet, but we didn't know beforehand.

Grand old period home. Comfy beds, lots of bedding as it can get chilly in winter. Huge old bathroom, but it did the job. Very nice breakfast spread.

It’s like being back in the old days. The ancient villa is located in a park off the main road. It is furnished in a classic way as it should. The room was spacious, clean and had very good large beds. The bathroom was spacious, light and modernized. The breakfast was as it should be, good. The owner and his wife are kind and hospitable.

Staying at Vila Duparchy is like stepping back into a more civilised and refined time, like entering a 19th century novel set in the Big House. I was welcomed like a long lost relative or friend in this beautifully preserved period property, with every modern convenience. I would highly recommend a stay at the Vila.

Charming little castle with so friendly owners! The room was very clean and the breakfast really good. We appreciated the willingness to provide us with an extra service like earlier check-in, olives and pickles for our wine in the evening or earlier breakfast. The place is beautiful and has a magic garden with a pool. We were really happy.

The facilities of the hotel are a bit old-school, and not everyone might appreciate this. However, we really liked it and it brought back many memories.

The Accomodation is located in a beautiful, green setting and with lots of space around. The room we had was also super spacious. We were able to park our bikes in a safe location. From the hotel it is only a short walk into Luso. The host was incredible friendly. Breakfast was nice and plenty. We only stayed for a night but really liked the place and certainly would come back.

The only room for improvement was the mattress, which was too firm for our liking.

Fantastic location. Very interesting building, with plenty of history. Very nice welcome with all the necessary information. Breakfast was lovely. If you like greenery, birds and a nostalgic feeling, this is the place to go.

We were there in off season in March and it was pretty chilly in the evenings in the room - the radiators were turned on and there was a portable heater, but the ceilings are very high so the room didn’t heat up too well. The villa is an amazing property but it is run down and needs serious investment. The family is doing what they can. In peak season, it may be very different.

Wonderful location near Luso and Mealhada. Amazing property tucked away on small hill. There are citrus trees, a nice garden and beautiful old trees. Plenty of space in the room and access to the house living room for reading or TV in the evening. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh jam, fresh squeezed OJ, and much more, served in a formal dining room. Pool wasn’t open (it was March) but you can sit next to it and enjoy the garden/sun.

The owners and staff were helpful and wanted to make us feel at home. They were able to fulfill special requests. Each day our room was made up and a large bottle of beautiful Luso water was on the mantle waiting for us. Very Large rooms with comfortable chairs and beds.

We loved everything. Starting from the friendly welcome, through the huge ancient rooms. Everything is decorated in an ancient and tasteful style. The villa, the yard and the pool are charming, the location is perfect. The beds are comfortable, the breakfast is very tasty and generous, we received a detailed explanation from the owner about trips and restaurants in the area. Highly recommend and thank you very much.
