Description
Luxurious Pousada Palacio de Estoi
Situated only 10 kms from Faro city centre, the Pousada of Faro (once known as the Palacio de Estoi) is famous for its neo-Baroque and neo-Rococo features, including the decoration of its plaster ceilings considered the finest in the Algarve, two tea pavilions and wonderful French-inspired gardens adorned with many statues.
The luxurious Hotel Estoi has excellent facilities including a luxury spa and elegant outdoor and heated indoor swimming pools.
History of the Pousada Palacio de Estoi
Built in the 19th century by the then-Viscount of Estoi, the building is a testament to the wealth of its owner and the skill and taste of its architects and gardeners. Drawing on the best of contemporary architectural fashion and the sumptuous beauty of the gardens of Versailles, the result is a timeless wonder that still makes visitors catch their breath with awe today.

The Hotel Palacio De Estoi has 63 bedrooms, including 15 superior rooms and 3 suites. All rooms have balconies, en-suite bathroom, heating/air conditioning, safe, minibar, bathrobes, hairdryer, telephone, Cable TV and internet access.
The historic village of Estoi is set away from the usual hustle of many areas of the Algarve but still within close proximity to the centre of Faro and the many wonderful beaches of the area.
