In the Algarve village of Estoi, Pousada Palacio de Estoi combines a richly decorated 19th-century palace with a restrained contemporary accommodation wing. Rococo interiors, painted ceilings, tiled panels and ornamental staircases survive within the historic rooms, while guest accommodation uses cleaner lines and broad garden views. An outdoor pool overlooks the surrounding countryside, complemented by an indoor pool, spa and restaurant. Formal terraces, statues and pink façades connect the palace with its landscaped grounds, creating one of southern Portugal’s most distinctive historic hotel settings.
