Visiting Quinta da Regaleira was one of the best experiences of our trip. Every path, garden, and building seems to hold a story. The Initiation Well is even more impressive in person, and the atmosphere has a mysterious, magical quality that invites you to explore at your own pace. It’s a well-maintained place, full of details, and perfect for anyone who enjoys history, architecture, and nature. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone visiting Sintra.

Both the gardens and the well are beautiful, with its symbolic representation of the circles and tunnels leading toward the light at various points. It also features the compass rose and the symbol of the Knights Templar.

Magical place, beautiful gardens and well organised. It was busy but not too much. Staff was friendly. A few paths were closed but still a fabulous day out

Wow! Don't miss this beautiful & historic opportunity to see the Quinta de Regaleira! Absolutely lovely day exploring the grounds, tunnels and history of this iconic location. This was our second visit to bring our daughter to experience this gorgeous Quinta and we enjoyed all over again. Please don't miss exploring off the beaten track. We found lovely bench areas for a rest and more tunnels with no one around. It was just a gorgeous day and we stopped at the cafe for hot chocolate and croissant w chocolate. Very fast service and quick seating , we recommend stopping there to get a quick bite. The menu for entrees also look good. Don't miss the chance to get yummy smelling soaps, too from the gift shop. I bought a citrus soap last visit and it's lasted a long time! Just a wonderful trip all around! Highly recommend.

Quinta da Regaleria was the best part of the trip. It wasnt as busy. Glad we did Pena Palace first. Leave 2h for travel to your ticket time and book as early as possible. This allows time for traffic to get to the palace, walking and waiting in line. Super busy. They will not let you in before your time. I.e. Pena Palace booked at 1:30. Arrived at 11 in Sintra took until 1:05 by taxi n walking to reach entrance into Palace. Quinta was booked at 4pm. Arrived a bit early but it was ok to wait. Washrooms available outside entrance line.

At Quinta da Regaleira, it was obviously the Initiation Well—we’d never seen anything like it before—but also the manor house. I thought it was fantastic. My favorite part was the mosaic floor; I could have stared at it forever. So beautiful! I loved the entire country house; everything was put together with such taste and was so unique. And the garden—everything was just right, impressive! I highly recommend visiting this place!

We loved everything—the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings. What a wonderful place!!! The buildings are of exceptional artistic quality, featuring sculptures, doors, frescoes, and marquetry. They had a team of true artisans and artists to create this dream in the midst of an area with magnificent vegetation!!! The staff was very friendly. And everything was well-maintained and clean. I 100% recommend visiting.

This is a very unique place and worth visiting for sure. My disappointment is that I bought tix with audio guide but had no idea this meant a QR code for your phone. I did not have cell service there and certainly did not come with headsets or ear buds so we did not get any audio guide at all. This should be made more clear when buying tickets.
