Back in March when we were still in our van we visited the Bucaco Palace whilst staying in the spa town of Luso for a week. The 'fairytale' Palace was built on the site of a 17th century Carmelite monastery in 1907, for use as a royal retreat. Nowadays it is a luxury hotel.We Cycled through the Bucaco Forest uphill on a cobbled path for approx 2km to reach it. It is too steep for most little ones - Sienna was pulled by Lee in her taxi / carriage and still moaned all the way !
The Palace is truly beautiful. Well worth the effort. I want to go back to explore the forest a bit more and its mosaic walls, fountains,chapels, fonts and several grand gateways - also adorned with mosaic... a love of mine.
I also want to check out the restaurant for dinner... a meal which spans seven to eight courses.... !
