Palacio do Visconde

The Palácio do Visconde de Estoi is located a short walk from the village’s main square. This recently renovated 19th-century palace, (with a fine pink Rococo façade) is now an upmarket pousada (a chain of luxury, traditional, or historical hotels). Previously it had been left to fall into disrepair and near ruin. The palace’s gardens are where visitors tend to spend a lot of time enjoying a stroll around the mature palm trees and also the fountains. All in all a popular place of interest for visitors of Estoi in the Algarve.

Roman Ruins

Around a 15-minute walk away are the ruins of the ancient Roman complex of Milreu. This site is centred on the well-preserved ruins of a Roman villa that dates back to the 2nd century AD. 

There is a large temple and several mosaics that were also once part of a bathhouse.
