Why go

See the restored cottage and planted setting as a quieter counterpoint to Pena Palace. Its timber-like exterior is crafted in cork and plaster, and the walk through the garden is part of the experience. Ferdinand II and Elise Hensler shaped this private retreat within Pena Park.

What to look for

  • Cork and plaster create the chalet’s timber-like exterior.

Useful to know

  • Allow walking time between the chalet and other Pena Park sights.
