Waste of time
A waste of money, entrance very expensive and aboslutely not worth it.
There are so many more beautiful places to see in Sintra
Operator response
Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to learn that your visit did not meet your expectations. Every visitor experiences Sintra differently, and we understand that Biester may not resonate with everyone in the same way.
Our aim is to offer a quieter and more intimate experience, where the palace, its historic gardens and the surrounding landscape can be explored at a slower pace. We appreciate your honest opinion and will continue working to ensure our visitors feel the value of the experience we strive to provide.
Thank you once again for your comments, and we wish you many wonderful memories of your time in Sintra.

Alternative Sintra
I highly recommend a guided visit to Biester Palace.
Our guide, Valeria, was impeccable in the way she engaged us in the history of the palace, making the experience even more enriching.
The surrounding gardens are ideal for enjoying moments of calm, and the viewpoint offers truly spectacular views.
It is also worth taking a break at the tea house and enjoy to play with the pet, the friendly kittens Biester.
Although the palace is right next to the Quinta da Regaleira, there is a rare tranquility here. It is undoubtedly the perfect place for those looking for a more authentic and less massive experience in Sintra.
The guided tour makes all the difference, as it allows you to understand and contextualize the countless details of this wonderful palace.

Caro Gonçalo,
Muito obrigado pela sua excelente avaliação e pelas palavras tão generosas.
Ficamos muito satisfeitos por saber que a visita guiada com a Valéria tornou a sua experiência ainda mais enriquecedora. Partilhar a história e a identidade do Palácio Biester através de visitas acompanhadas é uma parte muito importante daquilo que procuramos proporcionar, e temos a certeza de que a sua mensagem será recebida por ela com enorme satisfação.
É igualmente gratificante saber que apreciou os jardins, o miradouro, a Casa de Chá e, claro, o nosso simpático gato Biester.
Saber que encontrou no Biester um lugar tranquilo, autêntico e menos massificado para descobrir Sintra é, para nós, o melhor reconhecimento do trabalho que desenvolvemos diariamente.
Será um prazer voltar a recebê-lo numa próxima visita ao Palácio Biester.

Beautiful
This first stop, on the way to Palacio de Pena, definitely dismount. Beautifully restored villa and garden. In garden a 360° view over the valley. Really worth it.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your visit and appreciated the careful restoration of both the palace and its historic gardens. It is especially rewarding to know that the panoramic views from the gardens made such a positive impression.
Thank you for recommending Biester as a stop on the way to Pena Palace. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit to Sintra.

This notice is for those who go to check entry before paying.
We entered me and my daughter and at the entrance there was a girl with glasses, as soon as we arrived she took out the tickets and told me that as it would pay I told her that by card and once paid to check the entrance I realized that my daughter had told her as an adult, I told her that this was a mistake, she told me that I should have told her and I told her that see if it could not be cancelled and take out the tickets again, plus before generating them I should have asked, since she is responsible for the entrance . Well, in the end we left it there but without a bittersweet and helpless taste, since you are on vacation and you do not want to bitter them. So you don’t want to visit anymore.

Biester Palace in Sintra
Amazing experience. The palace was a surprise and reveals fantastic restoration details. The house is integrated into a garden/forest very well cared for, with specimens of flora from different parts of the world. I recommend visiting and enjoying the architectural and natural heritage. Excellent!

Cool house and gardens
We visited midday after leaving Quinta da Regularia. Beister was a welcome respite from the crowds and chaos of everywhere else we visited! The grounds were beautiful, and we had the palace to ourselves. There was a quaint cafe on the property; we only saw 5 other people there. A great place to be able to relax and soak in the experience!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊💚
We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Must have seen.
My real destination was Rigaleira, there was too much hustle and bustle for me. Back towards the train station. Along the way I discovered the Park Biester. So pure and positively surprised, here rest a few people and a fantastic park and also a small castle. For me this was a highlight of my stay in Sintra. I can only recommend this park and castle. When I come back to Sintra, it will definitely be the Park Biester.

Don't Miss this Palace
Beautiful gardens. Palace was amazing and was beautifully decorated for Christmas.
As we walked through the gardens, we were the only ones there.
Located next to Quinta de Regaleira. Our guesthouse told us not to miss it. They were right.

Palace and beautiful park / gardens, guaranteed not to miss, if possible there is stuff for a whole day...
with some fear I decided to invest in the price of the entrance, very good, the palace is indeed very beautiful, and is in excellent condition, sites of past stories and excellent for imaginary stories...
the beautiful park with protected species, beautiful flowers and waterways, greenhouses, water mines, trees and bushes little seen and well ⁇ ined and protected,
beautiful place for an afternoon sheltered from much heat,
viewpoints also beautiful

The highlight of our visit to Sintra
A local guide recommended this place, and it certainly did not disappoint. It is a wonderful garden, with fabulous views and so peaceful. The house is beautiful, with access to several floors, which gives a real insight into life in the palace. We also recommend the cafe, with a nice terrace. This place was, for us, the highlight of our visit to Sintra, the absence of crowds made it all the more enjoyable. A real hidden gem!
