I was there as part of the Elfia event and I really loved it. I can't speak for the atmosphere there generally, but when I was there everything was just magical. The castle, although small, is very beautiful inside and it has a lot of furniture, paintings, tapestries etc. It is worth a visit! The gardens are very well organised, there are many paths you can take and you can take a quiet stroll through an Asian culture inspired setting or sit on a terrace by a waterfall. And speaking of waterfalls, these were really a highlight for me! So many and so beautiful. There is also an adventure golf course that does take you behind waterfalls (how epic?!) and a children's playground. There are also a number of sculptures, fountains, gazebos and a beautiful greenhouse with a pond where really big Koi fishes swim. Overall the gardens are under the shadow of big trees so it's a great place to visit even on hot summer days. The only part that is quite sunny is the flower garden, but it's so beautiful that it deserves to be seen nonetheless. You will find there all kinds of flowers, fountains, statues and even birds. Last but not least, maybe its good to mention that there are toilets and benches in several places throughout the gardens, in case that is an issue for you. Overall I definitely recommend a visit, and if you can make it there during Elfia then your visit will be...

Read moreBeautiful garden and castle! We been during the Enchanted Gardens which was in October. We went for the extened tickets as we wanted to visit durinthg e day but also evening. The castle is very beautiful, nicely done and with good infor, unfortunately none was in English. It's very nice to visit as it's such a cosy place to be at. During the evening, the place was transformed in a fairytale. From the entrance till the exit everything was fabulous. The colours, the lights, the music, everything was perfect, it took alot of design and architecture to come up with such amazing play of lights and design. I love the fact that many lighting designs were made out of recycled plastic, very nice! It takes about 1-2 hours to cover the entire garden, depends on how often you stop to take pictures etc. There are also options for Cafes and food which you can get. Totally...
