Estoi Palace

Welcome to the Rotary Club Estoi Palace International

Amongst the 100,000 foreign nationals resident in the Algarve, many have had Rotarian experience in their home countries. Some would like to continue their Rotarian engagement but, because of language barriers, feel uneasy about joining a local Portuguese Rotary Club.

There are also other expatriates without any Rotarian background but with a strong desire to contribute to the local (and wider) community. The Rotary Club Estoi Palace International represents an opportunity for both groups of people. If you want to learn more about Rotary International click here and scroll down to About Rotary International.

We meet over lunch every Tuesday at 13:00 at the recently renovated Estoi Palace, which used to belong to the Viscount of Estoi, José Francisco da Silva, but is now the Pousada de Faro - Palácio de Estoi. Lunch costs around €16.50 inclusive. Our meeting language is English. Dress code is informal. We often have a guest speaker at each meeting and a list of recent and planned speakers (and other events) can be found here.

Rotarians and non-Rotarians are welcome to visit us but please let us know in advance if you plan to do so.

If you are interested in joining the club please contact us.

A map and directions to the Estoi Palace Pousada can be found on their website here along with more information about the facilities.
