         This baroque garden estate has housed many important royal figures over the centuries.  It was converted into a hotel in the mid-seventies and was completely redone. 

        In the mid-eighties, the estate was turned into a government residence and has remained so to this day.  The gardens are lush with flowers and palm trees and lucky for us the estate is open to the public!
