Overview

Lush and romantic

Characterized by the rich and decorative architecture resulting from the restoration of a 18th century palace, while preserving its original features, the Pousada Palácio Estoi has 63 rooms, French-style gardens, an outdoor swimming pool with a view of the sea and the mountains, as well as all the amenities of the 21st century.

The reception area is in the old Chapel, which, with its Luís XV style, is dedicated to the Sagrada Família. In collaboration with the Faro Municipal Museum, the old reception area has become a new exhibition area with a museum dedicated to the history of the region and its various influences: Roman, Islamic, and classical.

The mix of Neoclassical, Neo-rococó and Art Nouveau styles continues to be visible in every corner of this Pousada, including its salons, which now feature more classic furniture.

The Pousada Palácio Estoi - Small Luxury Hotels is a Monument Hotel in Estoi with 63 rooms, 38 superior rooms and 3 suites.

The rooms are comfortable and feature minimalist and modern furniture as well as plenty of natural light. The indoor gardens are spread throughout the hallways and create a comfortable and almost intimate atmosphere.

The Palácio de Estoi offers common areas on the 3rd floor, as well as original palace halls, recently restored. The Visconde restaurant with contemporary and local cuisine, is in the old palace kitchen.
