Independent Report
generalThe Pousada uses the Palace of Estoi, originally built in the 19th century which was the ancestral home of the Viscount of Estoi. The construction of the Palace took approximately 20 years to complete. A party was held in the gardens of the Palace when it was inaugurated, on the 2nd May 1909. Facilities at the Pousada include spa, outdoor swimming pool, restaurant, bar and meeting rooms with garden view. The wonderful French-inspired gardens, decorated with many statues and trees are one of the Palace's main features. DDS 07/09
