Our stay at Pousada Palácio Estoi was absolutely delightful — a beautiful, spotlessly clean historic palace with excelle
Pros:

This restored 18th-century Rococo palace is absolutely breathtaking — elegant pink façade, beautiful gardens, and a fairy-tale atmosphere. Our room was modern, spotlessly clean, and comfortable, with lovely views over the orange groves.
The staff were outstanding: friendly, attentive, and always helpful. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and beautifully presented in the historic setting.
The pool and gardens are gorgeous and perfectly maintained. Everything felt luxurious yet peaceful.
Highly recommended.

Cons:

It would be nice to have silent soft-closing closet doors.

Pros:

Die Lage ist einmalig, Aussicht wunderschön, auch der alte Palazzo inmitten von Orangenhainen ist ein tolles Ambiente. Betten und Frühstück gut!

Cons:

Zimmer teilweise schon etwas abgewohnt, kaum Steckdosen (Bad), Preiskategorie je nach Etage (in der mittleren gibt es die beste Aussicht, sonst alles gleich).

fantastic property
Pros:

Beautiful property, lovely gardens, rooms were big and very comfortable. Groundfloor with sliding doors to garden, great for our dog.

Cons:

gym is very basic. I am missing a service phone for the pool if you want to order something.
Charging my hibrid car was super expensive, really crazy. Hotel should have informed me about this

Kurzer aber sehr spektakulärer Aufenthalt.
Pros:

Es gab ein sehr gutes reichhaltiges Frühstück. Wir fanden es hat an nichts gefehlt. Einen Trink in solch tollen Räumen zu genießen ist schon Spitze!
