    Just incredible. The contrast of the fresh, vibrant growth and lush flowering with the old mossy stonework and formal, if whimsical, dark forms of the topiaries makes for a complex yet cohesive design. Very inviting and nurtures the spirit.

    Love your video. I have a friend (German) who just got back and she described it and my only reference was the RBG which is soo lovely as well. I am now convinced that all "gardens" have so much to offer humans in the way of putting us on another plane of peace, beauty and tranquility. I experienced that watching your video. Everything works for a lovely lovely departure in one's day for a few lovely minutes.

    What an amazing place! Fantastic! Those topiaries at 1:55 were quite funny! I have no idea what they were supposed to look like. Baby elephants within teacups? :) I loved the little lizards! Cute! And so many beautiful blooms!!

    +Orchids & a Dutchy We had to examine those topiaries long and hard to guess what they were. In the end we imagined they were some sort of bird. Artistic license, I think :)

    Glorious place to visit. Is it expensive to live there?

    +Jackie Binkley Now that is a hard question as I don't know what your cost of living is and you don't know what mine is! I was in a touristy area so prices weren't much cheaper than at home. But I would say that locals live cheaply, especially outside the capital. Portugal in general is much cheaper than Ireland except in touristy areas.
