Rather like the Cote d’Azur is to France and Liguria was to Italy, Estoril, pronounced shtowreel, (the ‘E’ is swallowed), was once Portugal’s Riviera. In appearance it harks back to a more genteel time with its decadent and daring casino and elegantly turreted villas set in orderly, palm-fringed gardens.
It’s been some time since Estoril took retirement from its role as playground to Europe’s glitterati. The aristocracy no longer frolic in the surf and fortunes are no longer won or lost in a risqué game of roulette, but the faded memories of those heady days of grandeur remain, woven into the tapestry of this charming seaside town.
