Casa de Estoi

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.

Beautiful historic house in the center of a quaint village.

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.

What a lovely place to stay. This was once a wealthy landowner's residence and converted 15 years ago into a charming and comfortable guesthouse. There is also the charming, informative and ever helpful Caterine who tqkes care to make suee that you enjoy your stay. Perfect

Loved the hotel and the hospitality that was extended. Close walk to the Palace and Roman Ruins ..not much else around. For that reason only, one night would be good here. The room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast and pool a plus. I have to mention Katarina...a wonderful person that makes you feel like part of her family. She even baked a delicious cake to add to the wonderful breakfast each day.

The house is a little like a museum. But the hosts were very clear that everything is to be used, not just looked at! We loved it! We slept great, The service was wonderful, and the breakfast was one of the best I have had in a long time at a hotel. The area was quiet and there was a great restaurant just 80 meters down the street that was awesome!! It is called O Belo Sol. The portions were big, the taste was the best of our trip, and the prices were very good! If you stay here, eat at O Belo Sol. You will be happy you did. 🙂

Lovely place full of character. Lovely host

Really enjoyed our stay at Casa Estoi. We were there for five days. Location is wonderful. Our host Catarina was very hospitable and attentive, and made our stay really nice. One suggestion is for the Casa to install a clothes washing machine and dryer on the facility - they can even charge for this - which will be helpful for the people staying for a longer period.

The woman who manages the place was great. She took a long time to show us the place (it was a fascinating old house) and made sure we were comfortable. She also made a delicious breakfast. The outside of the place is a bit weathered, but the inside was much more attractive. Our room was small and the bed was a bit hard. Overall, the manager was more memorable than the hotel.

Lovely hostess, super breakfast with eggs by request
