A short drive from the property, you’ll find Mata Nacional do Bussaco (Buçaco Forest), a stunning forest reserve filled with ancient trees, picturesque trails, and historical sites. The forest also houses the Bussaco Palace, a neo-Manueline masterpiece that once served as a royal hunting lodge and is now a luxury hotel. This location is perfect for a scenic hike, a quiet day in nature, or even a meal at the palace’s fine dining restaurant.
Mealhada is also famed for its leitão à Bairrada (Bairrada-style roast suckling pig), a local culinary speciality. There are numerous restaurants in the area, such as Pedro dos Leitões and Rei dos Leitões, where visitors can sample this iconic dish prepared in traditional wood-fired ovens.
