Great place to visit! Beautiful palace and gardens!
Un palacio y unos jardines maravillosos poco publicitados. Nos encantó!
Má explicação na compre. No site diz que é visita ao palácio e jardins e afinal é só jardins.
Le palais est magnifique. j'ai moins apprécié les jardins.
Sehr schön und kaum was los.
Recommended by our tour guide, Hugo. This was a very interesting and nice stop. Surprisingly, not crowded because they’re refreshing installations which made it nice.
Amazing experience!
Muito boa! Fui sem guia e foi o suficiente, o palácio não é tão visitado mas vale a pena ir
« Le palais est en restauration, ce qui est une bonne chose, mais de nombreuses zones sont fermées. »
