When you offer a pink palace, gardens inspired by Versailles and views of the mountains and sea, it\u2019s no surprise that Pal\u00e1cio Estoi Pousada<\/a> is so popular for weddings. “It’s like a fairy tale,” says Bruno Raimundo, pousada manager. “With the gardens, we can accommodate almost everything. The only thing missing is a church.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The history of the palace began in the 18th century as a nobleman\u2019s estate. Later, in the 19th century, it was acquired by the future Viscount of Estoi, Francisco Jos\u00e9 da Silva, who finished the building work and commemorated the palace\u2019s completion in style with a party that lasted three days.<\/span><\/p>\n

The property remained in the same family for almost a century, until it was bought by Faro town council in the late 1980s, virtually in a state of abandon. In 2009, it opened as a Pousada de Portugal<\/a>, later becoming part of the Small Luxury Hotels international network after major restoration. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\n\n\t\t
