    The 18th century palace of Estói combines neo-baroque and rococo styles. Set in its own geometrically landscaped gardens, this 28-room mansion lies not far from the centre of Estói village. The gardens, set out in Baroque style, contain small lakes, flights of steps and a good many statues.

Near the entrance to the palace, there is a temple containing the statue of The Three Graces, a faithful copy of the original work sculpted by Italian artist, Antonio Canova (1757-1822).

The exterior of the palace displays lavish 19th century azulejos (traditional blue and white tile work) sporting intricate floral decorations and depicting scenes from classical mythology.

Inside there is a wealth of antique furniture, fine plaster work, a chapel, two tea-rooms and much more beside.
