Amazing!!!!!
If you are lucky enough to find this little treasure, you’re lucky enough. The surprise lodging of my trip. When I rang the bell at the front door I wasn’t sure I was at the right place - then I walked inside and the world changed. History, class, comfort and service, all at a very affordable price.

Casa de Estoi is a hidden gem and the town itself is charming, quiet and picturesque. I stayed in the Jasmim room and it was beautiful with a very comfortable bed, large bathroom with a nice hot shower. The bar is in the former wine cellar and you serve yourself on the honor system. Breakfast is on the patio, delicious with a variety of choices. The Roman ruins are worth a look--I did not get to the Palace of Estoi. I am so glad I chose this off the path retreat for a taste of Portugal's past. Would definitely stay again! Highly recommend especially if you're tired of the bustle of the more touristy areas and want a genuine experience.

My brother and I were made to feel so incredibly welcome by Catarina at the hotel. She was so wonderfully attentive to the need of each guest and always on hand for any issue or questions we had about the local area. We would recommend Casa de Estoi for the impeccable service alone

We loved our stay at Casa de Estoi. Katrina, the manager, is a wonderful woman, who took such good care of us. The mansion is gorgeous, beautiful antiques and very comfortable. It is centrally located in the village, and easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Breakfast was very nice, fresh hot pastries, great bread and fresh fruit. We would definitely recommend this B&B for a wonderful relaxing visit.

Stay here, you won’t regret it :)
Why stay at a standard hotel when you can stay at a great old building with character? Was met at the door by the property manager with an almond aperitif. A quick tour of the house, which is a converted mansion owned by a former Mayor of the town. Has a free billiards table, bar (honor system), small pool, both inside and outside dining, and common areas. Wi-Fi on-site, parking across the street at the church lot. Included breakfast was cheese/meat (Brie & prosciutto), fresh OJ, coffee, cereal, pastries, and homemade cakes. Service was personable and warm and you could tell they really wanted to make your stay the best. Definitely would recommend :)

Charming and historic house, with exceptional host
Wonderful old building. No on-site parking but parking on street close by was easy. Catarina met us and showed us round after a welcome complimentary drink. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she explained the history of the place as we walked round. Our room was good and decorated in the way you’d expect for such a historic building. The bed, however, was not the most comfortable. Breakfast, taken in the converted stables, was basic but perfectly adequate. Didn’t need the fresh orange juice to be watered down though. There was an honesty bar where you helped yourself and noted on a sheet against your room name what you had taken. Not an idea that would take off in the more touristy hotels of the Algarve methinks!! Hotel had a small pool outside, but this looked more ornamental than functional, and far too cold in November anyway. Overall, an excellent one night stay en route inland, and I have no hesitation in recommending it to fellow travellers.

The welcome was very warm & friendly, lovely restored building, rooms comfortable but don’t expect 5* luxury as it is an old building with authentic furniture. Nice pool area. Staff very helpful. Rooms very clean. Small village outside of faro, it has a couple of bars and cafes but it is a quiet village.

Excellent B&B run by superhost, Caterina! 😉
One of the best holiday B&B properties l've ever stayed at, and l've been in quite a few! My sister-in-law and l were staying for the weekend in the beautiful, traditional town of Estoi! Casa da be Estoi checked all the boxes! Our suite overlooked the courtyard with its quaint swimming room.lt was clean, cosy and comfortable. Our host, Caterina, was excellent, so helpful and always willing to give advice. The ample breakfast was served in the Old Stables and freshly prepared on request! Perfectly situated to visit the Palace, Roman Ruins and, on the 2nd Sunday of every month, how fortunate we were, has one of the biggest, local, open-air markets to visit! Plenty of excellent restaurants in the vicinity for dinner too! We would most certainly stay there again! Highly recommended!

Our stay at Casa de Estoi a unique and lovely experience. Catarina was a gracious and helpful host. She recommended a local restaurant for lunch when we arrived and it was a true immersion into local culture. The food was delicious at a very low cost. The house has an old world charm. It was clean overall (bathrooms, sheets floors but the furniture was old and soiled. The mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. The grounds were in disrepair and in need of painting and weeding.

Catarina is a lovely hostess. Very friendly and gives great recommendations for restaurants and local attraction sites. Hotel is beautiful, well kept and clean. Lovely terraces and sitting areas. "Honesty Bar" jot down what you drink and pay later - added bonus of pool table downstair. Buffet breakfast was the best one! Do stay here. Best dinner yet in Portugal at Galeria Dos Sentidos.
