“Vila Aurora whispers stories of bygone eras; it feels like stepping into a beautifully preserved family home in Luso. The blend of period charm and modern comfort, framed by a sprawling estate, strikes a particularly nice balance. I found its location ideal for those keen to explore both the town and the nearby Buçaco forest.”
