Rent a Car in star Center

Estoi is a picturesque village 11 km north of Faro in the Algarve inland, with a car rental agency in the center. The village is known for Palácio de Estoi, a pink Rococo palace from the 1700s, and the Roman ruins Milreu, 500 meters from the village core. With a rental car from here you can easily explore both the Algarve coast and the more authentic inland.

Estoi is located in a valley surrounded by carob trees and orange groves, 15 minutes from Faro Airport. From here it's 20 km to Olhão with its cubist architecture and ferries to Ria Formosa Islands. Drive down to Faro (11 km, 15 min) and take the ferry to Ilha Deserta for one of the Algarve's wildest beaches.

Visit the Milreu ruins early in the morning – they open at 9:30 a.m. and are almost empty of visitors. Drive N2 north toward São Brás de Alportel (10 km, 12 min) to experience authentic Algarve without tourists.

How far is it from Estoi to Faro Airport? It's about 12 km south and takes approximately 15 minutes to drive via N2. Can I visit Palácio de Estoi and the Roman ruins Milreu by car?

Yes, both attractions are within 1 km of Estoi's center and have parking nearby. How do I get from Estoi to Tavira with a rental car? Drive east via EN125, about 30 km and 35 minutes.

It's one of the most beautiful inland routes in eastern Algarve.
