Photos from last weekend ...
The hotel and gardens are beautiful, and it's one of those places that has kept its charm despite the years. Although the rooms could use a little renovation (at least the ones we stayed at) ...
We took a small hike in the afternoon, trying to escape the crowds that seemed to gather around the gardens during the day. There are several pedestrian itineraries through the park (more information here and here), and once you start climbing it gets quieter and more relaxing.
Dinner was outstanding (just don't order the duck) and the wine was probably one of the best we've ever had.
The next day there was still time to drive to Penacova, visit some of the old windmills (a bit disappointing) and have lunch in the panoramic restaurant (not bad).

Gorgeous Building! Too bad the windmills were disappointing.
As always, very lovely photos. Your photos inspire me to paint. Currently I am painting a Tuscany pastoral inspired by your photos. I have nominated you for a blog award. To accept, come on over to my blog to see how.
I have allready visited this place... but in that time it was called Buçaco! ;)
Por incrível que pareça, nunca andei por estas paragens. Depois de ver estas imagens acho que vou por-me a caminho :)
essa zona é linda!
Conheci-a nos meus tempos de coimbra. ;)
