Buçaco National Park - Palace Hotel

In the center of the park, surrounded by flowerbeds ablaze with color, stands the former summer residence and hunting lodge of Carlos I, the palace which he had the Italian architect Luigi Manini build between 1888 and 1907 alongside what had become the dilapidated remains of the convent. This sumptuous palace in Neo-Manueline style, with a great deal of sculpture and azulejo decoration, now has a certain nostalgic charm. Since 1909 it has been the luxurious Palace Hotel do Buçaco.
