Lisbon Properties

Lisbon – a city that is cosmopolitan and colourful as it is characterful.  Ancient history combines with modern touches and 21st Century cool.  Michelin starred restaurants vie with traditional bakeries selling Pasteis de Natas the custard tart that Portugal is famous for. Lisbon’s cobbled hills, atmospheric neighbourhoods and grand squares are filled with sights and the coast is within easy striking distance of this wonderful city.

Along the coast, golden sandy beaches stretch for kilometres. Cascais is a charming resort with a pretty old town area whilst glamourous Estoril has luxury hotels and a casino. Head inland for the fairytale Sintra surrounded by forested mountains.

The suburb of Cascais sits between Lisbon and the mountains of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. A whitewashed old town harks back to its fishing village days, plus there’s a necklace of sandy beaches. Perfect for families and couples, Cascais holidays offer plenty for those wanting to keep active. Enjoy golf on emerald green courses which overlook the sparkling waters of the sea or scuba diving, snorkelling, sailing, and windsurfing trips from the beach. Take a boat trip around the coast and find a secluded bay, or wander through the bustling streets of the town. There are museums, boutiques, chic bars, and excellent restaurants as well as street side cafés perfect for the time honoured Portuguese tradition of people watching.

Estoril is the town that is thought to have inspired Fleming’s James Bond novels. The casino still offers the drama of the gaming tables and the roulette wheel, there is also a grand prix track and the citadel watches over the glamour of the marina. Peppered with fishing villages and whitewashed towns, luxury holidays to Estoril offer everything from fascinating history and culture, golden beaches and upmarket marinas perfect for people watching. Step back into the romance of 19th Century glamour with historic villas and turreted building lining the cobbled streets of the town. The golden sandy beach is the perfect place to unwind with a backdrop of historic buildings and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see.

Wander through Estoril’s luscious gardens and take in the palm trees and native flowers or enjoy upmarket restaurants and bars serving fine wines, cocktails and champagnes. Fresh local seafood is served in the many restaurants, with modern twists on classic dishes.
