So interesting!

I’ve never seen a house like the chalet da Condessa D’Edla. The chalet is to the west of the Palace of Pena and was built to resemble an Alpine Chalet. A lot of the chalet is cork...something i hadn’t seen before and the plaster is...More

Thought that our ticket to the palace and grounds would give us access to the Chalet as well, but it did not.

We didn't get into the Chalet, but were not very disappointed. It didn't look like much.... The cork roof was weird....

Adorable!

This place was really cute but difficult to get to! A bit far and confusing to find, I actually had to ride a tuk tuk to get to it lol Not very big, but pretty none the less.

I stayed overnight in Sintra and had time to fully explore the grounds of Pena Palace. It's a lovely stroll down to the rebuilt chalet, and the story of the Countess is interesting, but currently, there's very little to warrant paying the additional admission to...More

The Chalet is definitely worth a visit when having enough time in Sintra. If you only have one day and have not seen the Mourish castle or the Palace of Pena, then the Chalet might not be in your list. If you have seen the...More
