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...
“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.”
“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!”
My name is Joana, I am portuguese, I am 63 years old and have lived in London for 2 years, in Salvador Bahia Brasil for 7 years, Madrid for 1 year.
I am now living back in Portugal . I worked for wolksvagem and then in tourism in Brasil.
My 32 year old nephew is also travelling with me (lives with me since he was 4 years old). He is very respectufull and loves travelling in Europe and/ or the US after having becomed almost brasilien... :)
Be sure that I will take care of your home as if it was mine. I expect the same from my exchange parteners.
I have a very very cute and educated mini schnauzer that always goes with me everywhere...
I want to continue ( more than 20 super exchanges up to now) enjoying beautiful Europe.
I speak fluent English, French, and Spanish. I only know how to write in English though!
