We enjoyed our 5-night stay at La Pousada Palacio de Estoi. It's an old, renovated palace with a rich history and beautifully restored rooms. The hotel is spotless, and the staff is friendly and does their best to make your stay enjoyable.

What a stunning hotel
Love, love, loved our stay here what a hotel. Beautiful palace with sympathetically added bedrooms. Spacious, luxurious rooms, again with fantastic views. Wonderful views for the pool and bar area-stunning.Do wander into the town and around the beautiful gardens. Friendly, helpful staff-booked us a taxi for early airport run, with a breakfast bag. Even went to the trouble of prepping us coffees at 5am. We felt thoroughly spoilt.

Great property. The staff was awesome. Nice and quiet area. Will look to stay there again next time we are in the area.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an incredible stay, very relaxing. The pool area is quiet and not crowded, lots of chairs and umbrellas. Food was great, staff were pleasant. The property is quite impressive. We stayed for 2 nights at the start of a 2 week trip, wanted to extend this but they were full, not at all surprising for such a nice place. I've already recommended it to friends and I'm confident we'll be back. My only constructive feedback would be to recommend a set of adjustable dumbbells for the gym.
Mike, 2-night trip

Like most pousadas it a Nice place. I believe the grounds around the property need some TLC it looks a bit left without proper care.
Jorge, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very welcoming staff. Breakfast and parking great added value. Beautiful well maintained hotel.
Abdulhamid, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Pousada Palácio stay was a highlight of our travels. The refurbished palace, with its beautiful sitting rooms, chapel and dining area took us back in time. In contrast, the rooms and pool area were modern and well appointed. The staff was fantastic! Started with a tour of the property and help with parking and luggage. Largest parking spots on the entire peninsula! Dining was exceptional and some of the best meals of our three week journey. The outdoor dining area was special. The Palace was in a great location as we were able to walk to the Roman ruins and enjoy the quaint town of Estói. Can’t wait to stay again.
