House / Villa - Azeitao

This house is an absolute gem. First off, the garden and pool area is stunning. Plenty of space to lounge by the pool and for eating. The pool are absolutely gorgoeus and perfect for families. The shallow area was perfect for our 6 and 8 year old to play confidently. The diving board was also a winner! The owner's dog was a welcome visitor and so friendly! On to the house. The photos do not so this place justice. The master bedroom is like something out of a 5 star resort. The twin bedroom was in a little nook off the stairs and open to the master bedroom. The lounge and dining areas are also well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need and opens out on to the outside dining area. The owner is wonderfully friendly and on call for recommendations and help. Their house backs on to the garden but they dont use it when they have guests and we felt like we had the prviacy we wanted. The area is very residential and a car is needed. There is a supermarket and bakery within walking distance. We drove to Sesimbra, about 25 minute drive which was a lovely beach resort and perfect for delicious dinners. There are many other beaches about 20 minutes drive away. We also got the train in to Lisbon, and Candida (owner) was on hand to tell us exactly how to get there and the best places to go. It took about 15 minutes to drive to the station, then 30 minutes on the mainline train. This place is an absol winner for families who want a quieter break, away from the main tourist hubs.

We were warmly welcomed by the owners' daughter. Our hosts had prepared a 3-course meal for us, which was very tasty. Despite our late arrival, everything went smoothly. The house is lovingly furnished, we especially liked the living room. We can recommend the house to couples or families with small children, due to the open-plan bedrooms (there are no doors and the bedroom for the children has a low ceiling height).The house is fully air-conditioned. The kitchen equipment is ok.The bathroom was large and clean.The large pool in the garden is beautiful and it's a great place to relax. In Azeitão itself there are a few restaurants and the supermarket can be reached by car in 5 minutes. It takes at least 45 minutes by car to get to Lisbon, or much longer depending on the time of day. But public transport as well as Uber is very reliable and cheap.

A super family size open plan property on multiple levels. Swimming pool is fantastic and large. Owners leave you alone and guve youlots of privacy abnd space but are there as needed. One hour 20mins to Lisbon oldtown.

We had an amazing stay in this villa, it was better than the photos. Beautiful gardens and pool with lovely chairs and seating area. Close to supermarkets, it took us 20 Minutes to get to the local beach and an hour to get back to Lisbon airport. The hosts who live on site were available when you needed them but other than that we did not see them, so it felt very private. We would certainly go back.
