This place was a really special part of our 14 day Portugal tour. Unfortunately we arrived late in the day and missed the opportunity to see the grounds of this truly magnificent estate. It is definitely a bit off the beaten path and requires a car or a taxi to get there but otherwise totally worth it if you like to be away from the crowds and like a more quiet vibe. It is a huge mansion and full of history which the owner did not mind sharing with us on the tour she gave us when we arrived. she also had great suggestions on the local restaurant and sightseeing scene. They offer a breakfast for reasonable price which we couldn't take advantage of because of our early departure in the morning for the airport. Highly recommend as long as you don't expect anything modern or generic.
