We enjoyed our 5-night stay at La Pousada Palacio de Estoi. It's an old, renovated palace with a rich history and beautifully restored rooms. The hotel is spotless, and the staff is friendly and does their best to make your stay enjoyable.

What a stunning hotel
Love, love, loved our stay here what a hotel. Beautiful palace with sympathetically added bedrooms. Spacious, luxurious rooms, again with fantastic views. Wonderful views for the pool and bar area-stunning.Do wander into the town and around the beautiful gardens. Friendly, helpful staff-booked us a taxi for early airport run, with a breakfast bag. Even went to the trouble of prepping us coffees at 5am. We felt thoroughly spoilt.

Brian, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms very well appointed. Beautiful property and excellent staff.
wendy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an incredible stay, very relaxing. The pool area is quiet and not crowded, lots of chairs and umbrellas. Food was great, staff were pleasant. The property is quite impressive. We stayed for 2 nights at the start of a 2 week trip, wanted to extend this but they were full, not at all surprising for such a nice place. I've already recommended it to friends and I'm confident we'll be back. My only constructive feedback would be to recommend a set of adjustable dumbbells for the gym.
Mike, 2-night trip

We found this beautiful palace hotel with nearby Roman ruins. History and splendour feeds my soul. It’s so great to be back in Europe.
Julia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Unique location, mixed building styles (which will give an architect an instant headache). Service staff friendly! And finally they put off the disturbing ‘music’ in the three palace rooms. The sleeping rooms are in a concrete building besides the palace (looks like nuclear-free bunker) rooms are dusty and there is the well known terror of automatic temperature regulation; which means to hot. Switch off and open the door to the balcony a while before sleeping. Take care ask level 2 or 3 ohtherwise you are next to a road. To end with a plus nice wellness and swimmingpool.
Martin van, 2-night trip
