ACCOMMODATIONS/TRAVEL – Estoril Area Information

Estoril is located on the coast of Portugal about 30 km west of Lisbon, Portugal. Estoril has mild summer weather with temperatures ranging from 18° C - 27° C (63° F - 81° F).

Estoril has long welcomed international visitors. During World War II it acquired a glamorous reputation when Portugal's neutrality and mild weather attracted the rich and the famous, German and English spies, and European royals and aristocrats such as King Umberto II of Italy, Carol II of Romania, the Count of Paris, and Spain's Don Juan -- Hollywood actor Orson Wells stayed at the town's legendary Hotel Palacio and was reportedly "stunned" by the number of kings at the hotel during his stay.

The town has since lost much of its status, but maintains a certain faded grandeur and is still a fashionable cosmopolitan playground with Europe's largest casino, tennis courts, some of Europe's finest golf courses, an automobile race track that has held Formula One Grand Prix races, and an attractive sandy beach.
