Built between the 1840s and 1909, this sumptuous rococo-style palace with a coral-pink facade is set in formal Versailles-style gardens. Nonguests can visit its ornately frescoed drawing rooms opening to a terrace. Its 63 rooms are in a modern wing integrated into the hillside, topped by grass-covered roofs. There's a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and an upmarket Portuguese/European restaurant.
