Seaside Triplex in a Historic Portuguese Chalet Near Estoril Beach
Designed in 1902 by renowned architect Gaston Landeck for António Gonçalves de Azevedo, Casa da Torre is a rare example of turn-of-the-century summer architecture in São João do Estoril. It features pyramidal roofs with mansards, curved pediments, architraves, friezes, and volutes, giving it a distinctive presence on the coastline.
The five-story tower, a later addition of unknown origin, is the defining feature of the residence. With three windows on each side, the top level offers 360º views over the city and sea, creating a bright, panoramic retreat unlike anything else in the area.
Just two minutes from Azarujinha Beach, this three-story triplex apartment retains its original craftsmanship—high ceilings, wooden floors, and classic balconies—while offering five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and private parking. A shared garden and BBQ area complete this rare coastal home.
The standout feature? A private tower with 360-degree views of the Estoril coastline—a design detail you won’t find in modern builds. Inside, the apartment holds onto its original architectural character with high ceilings, wooden floors, and classic balconies, while offering the space and layout for both a holiday retreat or full-time residence. A shared garden and BBQ area add to the relaxed coastal setting.
This location is as functional as it is scenic. The promenade connecting Estoril to Cascais is within walking distance, and Lisbon is just a short train ride away. Unlike many homes along this stretch, there are no train tracks or highways between the property and the beach, making it one of the area’s most coveted spots.
A home for those who appreciate historic architecture, coastal access, and the kind of space that’s increasingly rare in this part of Portugal.
