1877 Estrela Palace

Very interesting old building. Our room was interesting. The shower was a bit odd, being out in the open. Basically when you enter the room, the shower is there. No privacy as there is really no bathroom. There is a WC. The room was pretty with a beautiful ceiling. There was a bar on the roof, it was an honesty bar, and a beautiful little terrace. The hotel seemed empty and gave me a feeling of "The Shining".. Oddly, but a good way.

This Boutique Hotel is a truly magical place with all the grandeur, opulence and majesty of small palace. Given the opportunity, use the stairs on at least one occasion to see the 18th century staircase with hand-painted walls and hand-carved stair banisters. The hotel has clearly gone to great lengths to retain many of the original features from ceiling moldings to the magnificent painting adorning the walls. From the moment we entered the foyer, we were treated with the warmest welcome and shown to our rooms. The personnel were the standout feature of this hotel, always smiling and gracious, willingly happy to oblige to every request. The hotel offers an “Honesty Bar” and breakfast room on the top floor with a large balcony overlooking the canal and the main street junctions. Our room (Joao Evangelista de Lima Vedal) was luxurious and very spacious with an extensive balcony featuring a jacuzzi on one side. A magnificent super-king-sized bed with rich cotton bedding, ample closet space and plenty of room for our cases. The bathroom was sumptuous with a large walk-in rain shower and double sinks. Having travelled much of the world, the 1877 Estrela Palace is probably one of the best stays we have experienced, and I would highly recommend a stay at the 1877 Estrela Palace.

Amazing boutique hotel, great and very helpful staff, nice breakfast. Upon arrival we received a voucher for Ricardo’s Wine bar. We went there and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Great wine with expert recommendations, super nice food.

This is a small boutique hotel with only 8 rooms however with full service 24/7. The property opened in 2022 after the carefull restoration of a city palace. The decoration is beautiful and the owners clearly spend a fortune on it, which shows from the attention to detail. We had a very spacious room, good beds, wonderful shower and as it is an old mansion, there are many beautiful details in the room like the shutters for the windows. Also beautiful city views and very bright. The breakfast is served on the rooftop wit the option to sit outside at the rooftop terrace. Very nice. Also very good breakfast offer. We asked the very friendly staff to make restaurant reservations for 2 nights and they recommended the better restaurants in Alveiro. We would surely recommend to stay here and it us worth the price.

We loved the property and the location! Love the history of the building! The bed was very comfortable. The service was amazing! The breakfast in the morning was superb! It was on the third floor, which was also available throughout the day for drinks or snacks and you could sit inside or on the balcony. Loved that we had access to our garage. It was across the street in a short walk, but necessary if you have a car!
