First of all, I would like to underline the immense proactiveness, cooperation and kindness of the owners of the property, Candida & Luis: due to Covid restrictions, we had a 2 year delay between our original date of arrival booking and our actual arrival this past August. During the 2 year gap period, the communication was always fluid, solid and Candida made sure our original booking would stay valid without any prejudice for us.
The House: in our opinion, the photos do not do enough justice to the loveliness of the property
- the house is full of light, extremely well equipped, has air conditioning , is confortable, well decorated and spotless
- the amazing & huge swimming pool was pristine clean and our twins had the most wonderful time playing in it in the shallow kiddy-area of the pool. The adult area is 2,5m deep and huge, just wonderful
- the garden surrounding is well manicured with beautiful plants and flowers
- yes, the house is very close to the owners' house but Discretion was the main word and there was no disturbance at all, we felt isolated and alone
- Candida welcomed us in person and had delicious local pastries and sweet wine to offer us
- Luis gave us most excellent tips on where to wine and dine in the area
- Luis also kindly offered us some fresh & delicious tomatoes from his vegetable garden
- there is a most lovely dog called Pipoca, which was the highlight for my twins who played with Pipoca all the time
The house is located 5mn walk for the centre of Azeitao; excellent restaurants and supermarkets are close by, wine and cheese tasting are nearby and so is a paddel court. Also, a very nice Spa center is just around the corner. The world renowned gorgeous beaches are a 15mn drive and there are plenty to choose from.
We had a relaxed, wonderful holiday and will for sure be planning on coming back.
We highly recommend it!
