After Palheiro Golf was seen to be running successfully, Adam and Christina Blandy had the idea of restoring Casa Velha and converting it into a small country house hotel. The project started in 1995, with Christina as the creative designer.
In 1999 the dining room was extended and the garden wing built with 10 rooms and 2 suites.
In 2001 Estalagem de Casa Velha became a member of Relais & Chateaux.
