Just stunning grounds! Huge watering pools in front and back, must see 200 year old tree outside of the entrance, and luscious walking paths. Try to buy a bag of fresh local cherries for €3 outside of the palace at the little fruit stand- delicious. This is a beautiful visit.

Formal gardens at the side and back of the house are absolutely stunning. Barocco style manor house’s architecture blends well with gardens and surrounding vineyards. House is in private ownership but open to public for tours. Lots of authentic furniture and paintings over few centuries.

The guided tour of the house was enlightening - taught us some interesting stuff about nobility in old Portugal. The preserved furniture and art are fascinating, and the library is breathtaking. The garden outside is also beautiful. When we visited, though, the water bodies outside were not as pristine as in the marketing photos, and looked a bit rundown. It's a pity, because the cost of entry is not cheap, and one would expect more.... Also, it was bitterly cold inside, with not enough lighting, but I don't think there's much to do about it, so just be ready for that.

This was a very special tour and a special estate to visit. The home has been well maintained over hundreds of years and has a wealth of beautiful antiques and art that is museum worthy. The architecture is rich and the gardens were lovely. It is a scenic drive to get to the location and well worth the trip. The carved chestnut rooms and lithographs were amazing. The Foundation has done an excellent job of preserving their heritage.

Lovely large estate with beautiful formal gardens. We enjoyed our visit and then strolled the gardens out back. The estate is, of course very old but magnificent with beautiful wood details. As you move from room-to-room the views from the windows add to the charm. Outside, the gardens are really lovely and there are many good photo opportunities. This is definitely worth a visit.
