Although you have to pay the entry fee into the Pena Park and make a bit of a trek to visit the Chalet, its certainly worth it. Impressively restored following neglect and a fire, the chalet has some interesting and informative displays about the Countess and is certainly worth a look around. …

Never seen anything quite like this place. I love historical buildings and seen a few (National Trust member), but this was something really different. Lots of use of bark as a decorative finish and cladding inside and outside the building. Intricate decor. Well worth the long walk through the Pena Park to see this gem.…
