Lock in a great price for Pousada Palacio de Estoi – Small Luxury Hotels of the World – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Such a well presented palácio, had us in awe of the views and the rich history. The resturant menu also had a nice touch, explaining the story of traditional dishes and the palácio. The staff were also very informative and great in conversation in Portuguese and English. The adjoining architecture of the accommodation is very clever and well thoughtout.

Magnificent location and setting in an old palace. A true hidden gem! Especially the staff was extremely helpful and polite!

Very pleasant stay in a very nice castle building, good restaurant, nice pool area, just in the village center and very close to Roman ruins

The restaurant area furniture looked quite cheap and out of tune with the rest of the house. Fresh orange juice at breakfast is a must in an hotel of this kind.
The hotel is in a old, but all renewed, portoguese house and is extremely fascinating. The rooms though are clean, modern and spacious.

Some areas, for example the external stonework, could be preserved... instead they are getting more disturbed underfoot.

“Fabulous venue compromised by a varied and frequently disappointing service from staff.”
- • Business trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
What was disappointing and confusing was the management style and culture. On the one hand you have sumptuous and historic buildings, furniture and artefacts supported by a laissez faire staff attitude where there appeared to be no consistency of service or appearance. In the formal dining room where an evening meal is served in a formal dining hall, the waiter worn a scruffy black T-shirt and track suit bottoms while serving us?
The ancient Palace at Estoi is wonderful architecture dating back to the late 18th century. This is now linked successfully with a modern extension accommodating the bedroom suites, pool and spa areas. The setting surroundings and the beautiful historic gardens are inspirational.
