Activities & Attractions
Attractions
In the distinguished garden that surrounds the palace there is a swimming pool.
Guests at the house can enjoy riding or shooting or just enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the house and gardens.
Local places of interest to visit are Palmela with its castle perched on a hilltop and the picturesque village of Alcochete.
The fighting of the locally reared bulls takes place at Alcochete. In Portugal the bull is not killed and trots out of the ring with a his prize, a harem of cows. The star of the show is on horseback but probably the bravest are the men who enter the ring for the finale and have to wrestle the bull to the ground and subdue it.
Nearby are the fabulous beaches of Arrábida and Sesimbra which are a natural park. There are small coves on a south facing coast and may restaurants serving excellent freshly caught fish. Lisbon is best visited by leaving the car on the south of the river and enjoying the ferry ride into the centre of the capital
