Pousada Palacio de Estoi-Faro

The famous Palácio de Estoí was originally built in the 19th century as the ancestral home of the Viscount of Estoí, José Francisco da Silva. The romantic taste of the first owner, a descendant of one of the most distinguished families of the Algarve, inspired him to build a neo-baroque and neo-rococo styled country house surrounded by beautiful gardens. Today, this former home has been converted in to a luxury Pousada providing high quality guest accommodation just a short drive from Faro.
