There is nothing not to like about this beautiful hotel. The service, the views, the breakfast, the location and a wonderful infinity pool. The place is also spotlessly clean. Highly recommended for a visit to Faro.

Great location for an event at the Palace. Parking available nearby, nice breakfast provided. Made to feel very welcome and at home by host.
Once a family home from the 1900s, this residence welcomes you as a small hotel, offering a combination of traditional and modern Portuguese style

We had an amazing time! The hosts are helpful, generous and very friendly.
The room and the rest of the place is beautiful with amazing decorations and art and set in an historic building. A lovely place to stay. The accommodation is in the centre of Estoi, right in front of the church. Perfect for whom is looking for a peaceful and laidback place to stay.
AP Eva Senses is centrally located in Faro and offers a roof-top pool and a health club with sauna and Turkish bath. The airport and beach are only 10 km away.
Located in downtown Faro just a 5-minute walk from the train station and the bus terminal, this modern hotel overlooks the old town, marina and the Ria Formosa Natural Park.

The bed was comfortable. The room and bathroom spotlessly clean. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice. The situation was perfect for what we wanted.
This is a fascinating little village. There is a shop of some kind around every corner (but it does mean you have to explore a lot to find everything!). It has a bizarre one-way system (do NOT DRIVE THE WRONG WAY TO THE HOTEL!). The sustainable produce shop just around the corner from the hotel was fascinating - and even sell products in hand-luggage sizes!

The Palace and the Roman ruins are worth a trip to this small and otherwise typical town; and Casa de Estoi is the loveliest place I stayed in over a two week trip throughout Portugal, with one exception. The host Jose is delightful!

Estoi is a lovely little town.
Estoi is a lovely little town. Please DO NOT GO TO OLHAO though - the police are corrupt and target tourists vehicles. They only clamp hire cars and leave the locals alone, they are a disgrace to the country! The town hall worker (in Olhao) stands about all day and hands ready made maps to tourist to show them where to pay the fines. I will never return to Portugal until these corrupt officials are removed!

The town of Estói is lovely with beautiful walks down the narrow lanes off the Church square. There are cafes, bars and shops. It is possible to walk into the local hills from the town where there are lovely views. There is easy road access to Faro, Olhão, Tavira and other coastal towns all with a great choice and range of restaurants, bars and beautiful buildings. The train along the coast is a great trip. There are ferries from Faro and Olhão to some lovely islands 20 to 30 minutes away. The apartment we stayed in - Estoi Terraces was excellent, spacious and comfy with a lovely outdoor area. Easy parking outside the block. The owner was really friendly and helpful and easy to contact.

Very quiet attractive village. The main attractions are the poussada palace and the Roman remains.Both very impressive ànd worth a visit. The peaceful village is a welcome change from the coast. Casa de Estoi is a top class place to stay.

There are few shops and only one restaurant.
There are few shops and only one restaurant. There are just two things to see- the palace which is now a hotel and it is not open to non-guests and the Roman site which is interesting. A day visit is sufficient to see both if they are open. Walking in the area was not comfortable.
The hotel is in a beautiful old palace, but the rooms are a modern extension. The views from the terrace are beautiful. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was excellent and very good service too. The breakfast buffet is excellent with a choice of many foods, breads, cereal, yogourt, fruit and fresh orange juice and hot foods also.
We stayed with our dog and she was presented with a beautiful dog gift box with food and treats for her.
The staff also are extremely kind and friendly and helpful.
Wonderful breakfasts! An idyllic very rural setting with great views. Delightful hosts who run a an exceptional small quinta hotel Loved the pool, the gardens, the superb room, the relaxed atmosphere, the views (so many birds!). Everything was perfect for us and please remember that this was only 20 minutes from the port and city centre of Olhao, so easy access to Culatra and the islands, and within easy reach of Faro. What more could you wish for? Can't wait to return in October!
Very cozy hotel surrounded by nature. Location quiet and peaceful. I booked the apartment. It was very big, clean and furnished in a country style. The breakfast was good and complete. I was impressed by the napkin on the breakfast table: it was folded with care with cutlery and a little flower arranged inside. This express the love of the owners for their job and make you feel welcome.
Mostly everything. A wonderful concept, mixing a highly modern hotel with a well preserved villa, full of character, rich in history, so close to a Roman archaeological site. Loved that we could leave our luggage at the reception and walk around even if we arrived before the designated check-in time. Most of the staff are super kind and friendly.
Everything! The owner is really lovely and very accommodating. She let us checkin early and also extended the checkout time because she didn’t need to get the room ready for anyone else that day. The bedroom was exceptionally clean and the bed was really comfortable. The property is beautiful and within walking distance to the centre of Estoi.
I had a great stay at this small family run hotel that exceeded my expectations. The welcome was friendly, the room was spacious and clean, the breakfast delicious and the pool was a dream to relax at on, before and after a hot Algarve day. I would definitely recommend this small hotel and stay there again when I come back to the region.
Set in a quiet location, however a 10 minute drive takes you to Estoi or Santa Barbara da Nexe. The comfortable bed (mattress topper requested before stay). The spacious rooms and the cleanliness of all areas. Delicious glass of wine (Miguel knows his wine). Breakfast highlight was the scrambled egg. The welcome given to Our dog Mia.
Beautiful palace and grounds which have been converted into a hotel. Rooms are very large (even the standard) and well-appointed in a minimalist decor. The pool area is great, as was breakfast. Well worth the short walk through town to walk through the lower gardens (not accessible from the hotel directly).
Beautiful tradition home in the perfect location! It is clean, private and offers great panoramic views of Estoi and surrounding area! We really enjoyed exploring the town, meeting the locals in the nearby cafes and restaurants! We cannot wait to come back here!
The place is incredibly clean and beautifully traditionally furnished. The staff are unbelievably gracious, and it’s in the heart of town across from the main church, and a quick walk to both the Roman ruins, and Palacio Estoi.
the property is incredible and perfect for a stay in the Algarve! the hotel is beautiful, the grounds are incredible and the food is amazing. highly recommend for a couple or a family. it is a calming place to get away.
The host was very welcoming and the breakfast was lovely. We were upgraded to a larger room which was a nice surprise! A little supermarket over the road was really convenient. We really enjoyed our stay in Estoi
Absolutely everything was amazing ,clean lovely place ,friendly family ,great bed and shower was wonderful better than in most of hotels ,we were very happy all what you need when you look for cheap option
Place super original, an old mansion turned into a hotel, catarina was a super host, the place is quiet; the common areas make you feel like home. Defintely going again on my next trip to the south.
Casa de Estoi was a lovely quiet location , a great base. Catarina was a really great host and makes everyone so welcome . we enjoyed our stay there so much.
