  • Pousada Palacio de Estoi-Faro – Hotel Palacio de Estoi – SLH

    The Pousada of Faro, located in the famous 19th century Palace of Estoi, is a luxury hotel near Faro in Eastern Algarve

    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.

    Staying at the Pousada Palacio de Estoi

    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.

    This Pousada was invited to join the exclusive ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World’ Group in January 2015 in recognition of its unique location, luxury accommodation and excellent customer service.

      7 testimonials for Pousada Palacio de Estoi-Faro – Hotel Palacio de Estoi – SLH

      1. My wife and I have just come back from the Pousada Estoi and we have had the most wonderul time. Everythinng was perfect, especially your staff. I would like to personally thank Luis Firmino for his hospitality; he is a credit to your hotel.

        Kind regards,

        Jamal and Janice

      2. Very happy with the location, the luxuriuos rooms, the helpfull staff, the very professional way they deal with sudden small problems and not to forget the very good deal we got (golden age/early booking/long stay) Only one remark! The SPA should soon be reorganised and redone (broken tiles in hamam, different house rules like no children under 14, supervised or maybe only to be used on demand, naturist area, clean, quiet, free drinking water,..) Everything a nice SPA should be for the real SPA addict! Hope this will be looked after soon for the rest all OK and a place to be recommended.

      3. We have returned to the Pousada 5 times… and the 6th will be for our wedding! The Pousada has the perfect mix of charm, comfort and modern amenities and the staff are delightful; always smiling and always willing to help. The location is perfect for exploring the local villages and towns but you do need a car. I would definitely recommend this Pousada to you! My only recommendation would be for tea/coffee making facilities in each room – maybe a Scottish thing, but I do love a cosy cup of tea before bed.

      4. This year was our second holiday at the Pousada de Estoi and once again we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We love the contrast between the Palace and the modern bedroom block which works well, but we don’t like the modern furniture used within the Palace. It doesn’t work nor compliment the renovation. Like many Hotels breakfast looks good but the lack of variety does get boring after a few days. We hope the Pousada continues to get the investment it deserves and the gardens can be finished as the setting is beautiful. We would recommend the Pousada de Estoi but probably best for a few days rather than 2 weeks.

      5. We stayed at the Pousada de Estor just one night. We enjoyed the hotel, beautiful grounds and meals. We were greated warmly by the staff. We enjoyed an exceptional dinner on the terrace. We only encountered one problem, our room key did not work. As our room was at the far end on the hotel, it was quiet annoying to walk back and forth to the front desk.

      6. Estive na Pousada de Estoi na passagem do ano .Foi a primeira vez que estive nesta pousada mas conheço quase todas as Pousadas de Portugal. Esta, como as outras, tem um pessoal delicado e eficiente e tem uma excelente cozinha. As instalações são magnificas. Parabens

      7. Just came home from a brilliant holiday in the Pousada Estoi,would recommend it to everyone,will definitely be back ,staff were very pleasant,place was spotless and a very good buffet breakfast,also local people very welcoming
