Boutique City Hotel
Pousada Palácio de Estoi, the Algarve's sole palace hotel and cherished member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, enchants with its 19th-century neoclassical splendor, a lovingly restored gem where romantic whispers of royalty linger amid Faro's gentle hills.
The 63 air-conditioned rooms and suites unfold with intimate refinement, featuring contemporary designs, flat-screen TVs in select spaces, minibars, and opulent bathrooms with baths, showers, and premium toiletries. Many offer serene garden or terrace views, creating peaceful retreats where the devoted staff ensures thoughtful details, from plush linens to personalized welcomes, fostering a sense of quiet belonging in this historic embrace. The architecture's Neorococo and Art Nouveau flourishes, preserved through meticulous care, invite contemplative moments amid frescoed salons and antique furnishings.
Dining at the Pousada's restaurants celebrates Algarve specialties with fresh-caught fish and seafood for evening indulgences, complemented by sweets of local almonds and figs, savoured in themed settings or on the new outdoor deck with sea and mountain vistas. The bar offers fine wines and light bites, perfect for sunset reflections in the French-style gardens. A complimentary breakfast, brimming with regional bounty, softly awakens the senses. Guests can immerse in curated experiences, from exhibitions in the former chapel's Luís XV grandeur to nearby Roman and Islamic echoes, capturing Estoi's poetic rhythm with effortless poise.
Just 10 kilometers from Faro's centre, steps from the palace's 10,000 square meters of gardens, and 30 kilometers from Faro International Airport, Pousada Palácio de Estoi offers seamless access to the Algarve's cultural treasures, complemented by an indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, and leisure pursuits like cycling and hiking for profound tranquility.
