Pousada Palacio De Estoi—Monument Hotel & SLH, Faro (Algarve) Hotels
19th-century restored palace with modern minimalist rooms, an outdoor pool, and evocative Rococo and Art Nouveau details
Nestled in the alluring and picturesque town of Estoi, the Pousada Palacio De Estoi offers an unforgettable experience, allowing guests to reside within the walls of a beautifully preserved 19th-century palace, seamlessly blending historical grandeur with contemporary comforts. This recently renovated architectural gem proudly showcases its stunning neoclassical, Art Nouveau, and Rococo styles, transporting visitors back in time while providing all the conveniences of modern life.
A short and convenient twenty-minute journey will take you to Faro, a vibrant city brimming with historical significance and cultural attractions. Explore ancient Roman fortifications that stand as testaments to the region’s rich past. Discover the majestic 13th-century cathedral, a beacon of architectural brilliance and religious importance. For those with a penchant for the unusual, the Bone Chapel in Igreja da Nossa Senhora do Carmo offers a truly unique and somewhat haunting experience. Also within easy reach, both Faro Airport and the golden sands of the beach are just a twenty-minute drive away, promising convenience and relaxation. For a change of scenery, the captivating coastal town of Lagos is approximately an hour’s drive by car.
The guest rooms present a striking contrast to the palace’s opulent exterior, adopting a modern and minimalist aesthetic. This juxtaposition creates an intriguing atmosphere, where the clean lines, neutral tones, and polished hardwood floors contribute to a bright and contemporary ambiance. Each room is thoughtfully designed to be spacious and inviting, featuring private balconies that offer captivating views of either the lush gardens or the charming cityscape. For larger groups or families, the Large Family Room and Suite Premium View provide ample space and comfort for up to four guests. The suites, in particular, boast more expansive and panoramic views, enhancing the overall experience.
However, it is within the hotel’s common areas that the Pousada Palacio De Estoi truly shines, faithfully preserving the elegant luxury that defines this historic palace. The building’s distinctive pink marble facade immediately catches the eye, creating a stunning backdrop to the meticulously manicured French gardens. Around the outdoor pool, marble columns and intricate fountains contribute to an enchanting and atmospheric setting. Indulge in a delectable culinary journey at the restaurant O Visconde, where you can marvel at the palace’s original kitchen and admire details such as the original stove, chimney, and exquisitely designed tiles. Pamper yourself with a rejuvenating treatment at the on-site spa, and then unwind on the terrace with a refreshing drink. From this vantage point, you can savor breathtaking views of the grounds, surrounded by historical columns and stone pieces that evoke a profound sense of romance and the past.

Parking – Check On RequestPortugal
From the seemingly never-ending festivals to the diverse range of cultures that have made Portugal their home over the centuries, to the simple but delightful culinary experiences, the vibrant heritage and cultural diversity of this country captivate travelers.
When is the best time to visit?
Portugal is a year-round destination, but if possible, travelers should aim to visit in the springtime when the almond blossoms and wildflowers cover the countryside.
Where should you go in Portugal?
Experience the traditional Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon before it will be absorbed by the rest of the bustling city’s culture, tour the ancient ruins of Sintra and historic Evora, walk along the bluffs of Europe’s most southwestern point at Cabo de São Vicente, and relax on the beaches of Ilha de Tavira.
How many days do I need?
There are too many destinations that are must-sees in Portugal to see the country in less than a week. At least 10 days is best.
Getting Around Portugal
Although smaller than neighboring Spain and France, distances in Portugal are still significant—traveling from Porto to Faro, for example, takes five hours by car. Flying is a quick and comfortable way to get between the country's major cities, with the largest airport being Lisbon Airport (LIS). Going by bus or train are also options here.
