Chalet e Jardins da Condessa d`Edla
The Chalet of Condessa d'Edla was built by King D. Fernando II and his second wife, Elise Hensler, Condessa d'Edla, between 1864 and 1869, following the model of Alpine Chalets then in vogue in Europe.
It is a building with a strong scenic load characterized by the horizontal marking of the exterior plaster, painted to imitate a coating on wooden planks, and by the exhaustive use of cork as a decorative element, covering door and window frames, eaves, balconies and tree trunks. attached to the facades to support creepers.

Description
The location of the Chalet is remarkable because, located at the opposite end of the park in relation to the palace, it maintains an important visual relationship that is accentuated by the proximity of a dramatic set of granite blocks, the Chalet Rocks, and by a valley that it is overrated.
From the balcony of the Chalet you could see the sea, the stones, the walls of the Castelo dos Mouros, cutting the mountains and in the background, the palace. The surrounding garden includes viewpoints with views of the palace and exotic botanical collections from all over the world, such as the Australian and New Zealand tree ferns planted in the Valley.
