The country of Portugal is located in the south western part of the continent of Europe and Lisbon is the largest city and a very important centre for trade and cultural activities. The coast of Lisbon or Costa de Lisboa is infested with a series of small towns which not only preserve heritage from the past but are also rich in terms of scenic beauty. These along with the presence of basic amenities serve as perfect ambience for country houses and villas and they have emerged as favored options in recent times.

Located along the coast of Lisbon, Portugal’s largest city, Estoril is situated between Lisbon and Cascais and was initially a prevalent spa location. With the progress of time, the area has continued to remain one of the commonest haunts for those who prefer frequent getaways from the hustle and bustle and commotion of city life to the interiors and for such sections of the population, Estoril is a popular destination where people buy villas and cottages. It is necessary to note that a total of four distinct regions join together to form Estoril and these four are Sao Joao do Estoril, Santo Antonio do Estoril, Monte Estoril and finally Sao Pedro do Estoril.

However, at present Estoril is a place throbbing with life and energy having various casinos, golf course which greatly appeal to the occasional visitors and despite the presence of very high profile luxury hotels, it has been noticed that the country houses and villas of the region are much more in demand because of their design and architecture style despite their increased prices compared to the hotels.
