The two wings of the palace, joined by a triumphal arch.
This neoclassical palace from 1783 consists of two wings connected by a triumphal arch added in 1802, which frames a view of Pena Palace in the distance. It was home to aristocrats until it was turned into a hotel in 1953, welcoming famous guests such as U.S. President Richard Nixon and writer Agatha Christie.
The garden in front of the palace
The grand interior is filled with romantic paintings, crystal chandeliers, and a luxurious ambience that retains the charm of the 18th century. It’s only open to guests, but the exterior is accessible to everyone.
