Lousa has a few streets of very charming historic houses, the rest is social housing. Octant in an old palace is great, especially the attentive staff at the front desk and bike room who go the extra mile to help and the wonderful sitting rooms. The bikes we rented were fit for purpose but the hills are very challenging and need a good level of cycle or walking fitness. Electric bikes are available too. The schist (slate) villages are breathtaking. Breakfast is excellent, pool and gardens amazing.... There are some downsides: the restaurant (opens 730pm) is overpriced and modest in its execution but the town offers no competition so OK = best in town. Some rooms, including ours, are in an awful modern block extension with no character (while an historic house 10 metres away lies dilapidated) with no balcony and black mould in the bathroom, bubbling paint in the corridors suggesting the builders didn't install a damp course. The hotel should buy and restore this adjacent house. My room was serviced very late in the day (after 6pm). Despite encouraging walking and cycling there is no where to launder or dry clothes. There is a coffee maker in the room but only 3 capsules, and quality Kusmi tea.
