“This historic 18th century palace turned hotel is in the village of Estoi, just inland from the Algarve. A restored Rococo building, it dazzles with chandeliers and frescoed ceilings. There are outdoor and indoor pools, lush gardens, and a restaurant showcasing local flavours. An exquisite escape. ”
