“We enjoyed a lot the time we spent in Azeitao, Joana\'s home is big and comfortable with a nice patio with fresh vegetables and all the things you need and the area is beautiful. It\'s very close to Arrabida park with its beautiful beaches and Lisboa too. Joana was very kind giving us all the information we needed. We hope to make the exchange again someday.”

About our home
My home is a beautiful house located in a very typical village in Azeitão. The silence and views to vineyards and orange trees and the Arrabida mountain makes this a unique mixture of farm and village living.
It is a very cosy and comfortable home, with a very large living room , eating area, and kitchen. Large windows to the patio and barbecue make my house a bright and happy home..
Beautiful beaches are reached through a most spectacular mountain road in 15 minutes.
The location is also perfect.
Azeitão has several famous wine makers and visiting the cellars of Quinta da Bacalhoa or Jose Maria da Fonseca at 2 km from home is essential.
The Golf Quinta do Peru is 4 Km away.
The Unesco city of Evora is a less than one hour drive.
Exploring the whole Alentejo gives you plenty of different daily expiriences, from landscapes to gastronomical and the awarded best wine area "Alentejo Rota do Vinho" will delight you, I assure you.
Lisboa is 28 Km away, a 30 minute drive, avoiding rush hours, or by train, Cascais and Sintra are 45 minutes away, Obidos a charming little medieval village to the north is 1 hour away thus making your stay in Azeitão a perfect holiday with lots of activities!
Ah, forgot to tell that Setubal is 15 minutes away, full of restaurants and its market with probably the best fish in the world...

Joana's reviews
As a host (4)“We spent a lovely week at Joana's home in Vila Nogueira de Azeitao. The house is spacious and bright with a pleasant garden overlooking olive trees and the hilly countryside. We enjoyed the weekend market and the café restaurants in the little village. The peninsula of Setúbal is quite spectacular with some very nice beaches and well worth the visit. Joana left us all sorts of useful tourist information at the house and took marvelous care of our house full of cats and kittens. A very successful home exchange indeed!”
“We spent 3 weeks at Joana's lovely place and couldn't have wished for a better exchange. From the outside, Joana's house looks like a typical little Portuguese village house, but inside all is space and calm. We loved the big open plan living area where the windows on two sides open on to a sunny courtyard garden (good tomatoes!) We enjoyed cooking local food (especially fish) in her immaculate, well-equipped kitchen.. The location of the house is ideal for exploring the Arrabida national park with its gorgeous coastline/beaches and discovering all that beautiful Lisbon has to offer. There is so much to see and do in the area.. Communication with Joana is very easy (her English is excellent) and setting the exchange up was very straightforward: sem problemas! We really appreciated the gift of a delicious bottle of Moscatel de Setubal that we found on our arrival. Joana left everything at our place very clean and tidy for our return.”
“We went to Joana’s home this Summer in Portugal, 25 kms south of Lisbon. Joana is a great person to exchange with. We actually met her and her nephew Salvador at our place before driving down to their place. They were accompanied by Foster, a lovely little dog who got on very well with our cat, thanks to the great care taken by Joana to introduce our pets to each other. It required a lot of pedagogy and talent ! Her house is absolutely lovely and located on the outskirts of Vila Nogueira de Azeitao, facing vineyards which produce the famous Moscatel, a rare specialty, known all over the world. The inside is artistically decorated and very convenient to live in, cool in the Summer. Joana’s patio is idyllic to have breakfast. By the way, local food is very affordable and there are several good restaurants in the village. The village itself is beautiful. Access to Lisbon is very easy and we went there several times. Thank you, Joana , you are definitely a professional home exchanger ! ”
