Wonderful hotel in a palace, with majestic feel. Truly a palace. Large guest rooms with elegant decor. Restaurant was surprisingly excellent. Tight roads driving into this old-world treat. Off the beaten path, so maybe not the right choice for travellers in a hurry.

Beautiful place to stay. The reason for the 4 star rating is the fact there are no outlets to charge a laptop or cellphone. I found on the floor a good distance from a table or bed. This really surprised me because we live in a modern error where people use laptops and cellphones when traveling. Hotel needs to inform guests of this prior to booking. Also, the rooms are very new and modern, a complete contrast to the palace.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful property. Extensive breakfast. The indoor casual (non-dining) areas are part of the original palace and you can roam around freely and sit while enjoying the space. The hotel rooms are modern, well equipped and very spacious - they have a closed off balcony. There is no access to the outdoor gardens from the room. The gardens directly in the front of the palace and around the columns are accessible. There is no access to what looks like an Orangery and the areas where the fountain(?) is located. The gate to the garden is also locked so access is through the hotel. We went in Feb so did you use the outdoor pool. The indoor pool is nice, the steam room takes about 10 mins to get going and the sauna take 1 hour. You let them know at the spa and they turn them on. Parking was included and easy to access from rooms.

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.

Liked: Staff & service
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.

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.
