We had heard great things about hiking in the Bussaco forest so added an evening in Luso to our Portugal trip. We spent the evening at the Alegre Hotel. As others have written, it is an old world family run hotel 18 room hotel. It very much reminded me of places I have stayed in rural France. Everything about the hotel needs to be viewed in the context of what it is. The keys are old style heavy brass, the parlor spaces are rather dark with period furniture, the breakfast room walls are populated by a plethora of ticking clocks that only vaguely keep time, the rooms are high ceilinged, there is no air conditioning and heat in our room on a chilly evening was provided by an electric “wood stove” in the fireplace. All that being said, the bed was warm and comfortable, the bathroom pretty modern and clean, the view over the town from our balcony fantastic, the breakfast very good and the breakfast server very friendly. We left in the morning feeling that we had spent a pleasant evening in another era.
