Spa was not open during my visit, which was one of the reasons for selecting this rural location away from literally everything.

It’s a nice setting like all other pousadas. Needs some upkeep on the surrounding grounds. Dried edges of the garden setting and some of the grounds need care. Fountains not clean and with only a small amount of water.

Beautiful converted palace with huge stately rooms. The actual bedrooms are super modern and very large. Lovely garden and swimming pool. Worth to stay for a few days. Dinner was a bit disappointing as it took 90 minutes to get our food and the order was wrong. I would suggest eating outside. Breakfast is wonderful

This is a beautiful property, still retaining many of its period features. The room are large comfortable and showers, air-conditioning working well, powerful and silent. the modern design of the cupboards was not convenient to open but that was a minor issue. The staff were very friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant and food was very tasty, all ingredients right from olive oil was of superior quality and vegetarian options were available. We loved the views as we had our meals. The breakfast was included. It was generous with all options: hot breakfast- bacon and eggs, toast with a range of artisan breads, as well as sold meats, cheeses, salads, and a variety of cakes and pastries freshly prepared. Even the marmalades and jams were home made. The surrounding town is tiny, charming with a church and a little square in the centre, but not much shopping and everything shuts down in the evening. However there are many interesting towns about 20 minutes drive away, so it is well worth hiring a car. They were very helpful at the reception and recommended several places/ tours. Our favourite was OLhao which has a bustling market just next to the marina. Lagos, Faro and Tavira are similarly situated. We enjoyed a visit to a local winery where after little tour, we were offered their wines along with antipasti. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pousada Palacio de Estoi.

The Palace itself is fantastic, very historic and picturesque, this includes reception, the gardens, restaurant, common areas. The rooms are good: modern, neat, nothing flashy or eccentric but clean and with plenty of natural light. Overall good experience, quite unique. Public transportation won't work well though, but for us this wasn't an issue as we had a car and we could drive to Faro for shopping or dining options (20 minutes) and approximately the same drive time to Tavira.

A Pousada shows another side to visit in Portugal
We expected to visit Faro when we booked this Pousada and never left the property over a three night stay. Hospitality was very gracious, attention paid to specific food allergies, external massage therapist who was booked by the property was excellent, the staff was very friendly and engaging.
