Ana & Antonio, thank you for amazing memories and hosting our family.
This house was it said to be and the owners excellent at delivering a 5 star experience in their home. The beds and bedding are excellent. The kitchen has all you need. The views are breath taking. The tennis court well prepared and we held a family tennis tournament. We felt we were in a time capsule and experiencing someone's family home. The views breath taking. We hired Ana's cooks to have a traditional meal prepared and it was delicious. You have a choice of options and they accommodated a dietary restriction with ease. Plan to pay the cooks for: the shopping time, preparation time away from the house as well as the time at the house. The wifi was out due to a cable being severed up the road. The owner, on a Sunday, investigated and did all they could to assist. These things happen. We couldn't have asked for more from them and their home. We'll be so pleased to return next year. We hope to celebrate our wedding anniversary there with our family!

Exceptional villa
We had a fantastic holiday, and the villa is amazing! It is very spacious and clean and a perfect place to relax. We loved the swimming pool, which has great views, and really enjoyed the tennis court. Ana and Antonio are excellent hosts and very helpful, with great ideas of things to do in local area. We would love to visit again… thank you for a lovely stay!

Amazing Villa
Our stay was wonderful. We were a group of 12 and found the 5 bedroom villa very spacious with large living areas, dining areas and kitchen and many seating areas, both inside and out (with various patios). Our host Ana was very responsive to our requests before we arrived and communicated quickly.The pool was really appreciated. We used the cooks Ana recommended for several dinners and the Portuguese meals they prepared were excellent.

Special place
The villa is absolutely beautiful and the surroundings are exceptional. The photographs on the web site do not do it justice. We had a large group of family and friends for 2 weeks and everyone was very comfortable and Ana was an excellent host. The ‘cookers’ are a delight and the traditional food they cooked was beautiful. The groundsman was also very helpful and friendly. The village of Azaiteo is lovely and nearby Galopinos beach was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t have been more happy with our stay and recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere special to spend time with loved ones.

Perfection
Absolute perfection from start to finish. As many have said, the pictures do not do the villa justice. You really have to see it to believe it. We spent two weeks at Villa St. Antonio prior to our wedding, which naturally comes with a degree of stress. Ana went so far above and beyond to ensure our experience was a relaxing one and she made the lead to our wedding something we'll remember forever. We will most certainly be back for a visit!

Amazing experience
The house and landscape is beautiful. No words to describe the beauty and tranquility. The house is also very comfortable, it’s large, with adequate bedrooms and bathrooms, and so many outdoor and indoor areas to sit as a family or relax alone and read a book. There is a Large dining area both indoors and outdoors. The pool was a favorite for everyone. The location is very convenient; a quick drive to town and to get groceries and there is plenty to do within a 30 min drive from the house. We were 6 adults, 4 teenagers and it was perfect. The host, Ana-Maria is lovely. She and her husband met us at the property at check in to greet us, and show us the house. It was very easy to communicate. We had a wonderful time and hope to be back. Thank you

Peaceful and scenic villa for families and large groups
Our family group of 9 stayed at Ana and Antonio's place for a week in September. They were great hosts, meeting us nearby to help us find the villa when we checked in, and responsive to requests and questions. They helped arrange a welcome meal cooked by local chefs on the first night which was a nice touch. The house itself is spacious and comfortable, with a huge kitchen for communal cooking and space for eating indoors and outdoors. Beds were comfortable with ensuite bathrooms. Outside, there is a beautiful pool and lots of places to relax with a book and enjoy the views over the Arrabida national park. The house is set in several acres of property which is nice for a short walk, but unfortunately longer walks are difficult due to the number of fences and gates blocking access (despite it being in a national park). A car is a must, and there are some fantastic walks and beaches within a short (~20 minute) drive. The local town (Azeitao) is small but has restaurants and a couple of interesting wineries to tour. We had very few complaints with our stay. One suggestion would be to let guests know what they need to stock up on before arriving (the kitchen was short of some key supplies when we got there). Another heads up for North American guests: no window screens! so mosquitoes can be a nuisance. Thank you again Ana and Antonio for your hospitaliy!

Absolutely outstanding in every way!! The home is larger and even more beautiful than captured on listing. There were 10 of us aged 4-60 and there was plenty of space and activities for everyone. The views are incredible. The pool is amazing. We didn’t want to leave the property! Ana is a kind and communicative host available to answer questions about the history of the home or give suggests on places to visit. We highly recommend!!

A stunning home with everything you could ask for!
We had a wonderful week here as a family (7 adults and a toddler) to celebrate a 60th birthday. The house exceeded expectations - it really is Ana’s home and she has thought of everything. There are lots of lovely spots for some alone time, perfect areas for indoors and al fresco meal times and the most stunning views from the terrace and the pool. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful bed linen and the black out shutters meant our little one slept in until 8.30am every morning which was bliss!! The place is not child proofed so I was glad we had several eyes to watch our adventurous little boy, but that’s not to say that it’s not suitable for children and Ana provided all we needed in terms of a cot, high chair and toys. We had a beautiful meal cooked for us by Ana Emilia and enjoyed several trips to local beaches. A wonderful place where we hope to return one day.

Enchanting
This is the most heavenly villa we have encountered. Ana & Antonio are gracious hosts with an incredible sense of style. Our two families had a wonderful time, there was space for all of our 9 to spread out and then come together for gorgeous meals especially when Mrs Ana prepared them. Our only regret was not having Mrs Ana earlier as she is an angel with a heart of gold and cooking skills to make one swoon. This really is the experience of true Portuguees hospitality and we will forever be grateful.

Easter break in Azeitao
Thank you, Ana and Antonio, for letting us stay in your beautful villa in Azeitao during our Easter break. We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 days there and we would have liked to stay there longer, but unfortunately, duty calls. The property was perfectly located for us, in the quiet woodland countryside, just a short car/bike ride from the nearest village. The hills around the villa provided a good opportunity for early morning walks/runs for those of us who enjoy that. The villa fitted us perfectly, with the 5 spacious bedrooms, plenty of space and all required amenities. The outside patio was frequently used, for breakfast in the morning, some shade during the midday sun and in the evenings for dinners and conversations. The swimming pool was frequently used for cooling down and for exercise. Thank you for arranging for Ana Emilia to prepare her lovely dinners for us. Her locally flavoured dishes were very tasty. She even assisted us in obtaining some very good locally produced wine. Your recommendation on the local beaches on the southern shore and the surrounding hiking terrain was appreciated. We had a couple of really enjoyable days there. The Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo beach was a pearl. The location of the villa also gives the opportunity to visit places like Lisboa and Sintra, places that we would recommend anyone to visit. We hope we get the opportunity to visit you again and we would not hesitate to recommend your property to any of our friends and relatives. Best regards, Björn Johannessen Reykjavik, Iceland

Schöne, gemütliche Villa mit netten Gastgebern
Die Villa ist noch besser als auf den Fotos und hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Sie liegt relativ einsam auf einem großen Grundstück und mit viel Platz zum abstellen der Autos. Die Vermieter waren sehr zuvorkommend und der Check in und Check out haben problemlos funktioniert. Die Villa war sauber und ist gemütlich eingerichtet. Es gibt 5 Schlafzimmer mit je zwei Betten und zusätzlich zwei Einzelbetten im Zwischenraum. Der Pool ist das Highlight der Villa und der eigene Tennis Platz, eine Tischtennisplatte, ein Kicker und eine Dart Scheibe laden zum spielen ein. Die Küche bietet viel Geschirr und sowohl drinnen als auch draußen sind große Tische zum Essen. Auch im Umkreis der Villa kann man viel erleben. Zum Beispiel zum Strand fahren oder nach Lissabon. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und würden immer wieder gerne hier Urlaub machen.

Tout est parfait de la maison à sa situation. Une hôte sympathique à l'arrivée et au départ. Le seul petit bémol serait le manque de produits basiques dans la cuisine comme sacs poubelle, produits de lavage, sel poivre ... pour une première journée plus confortable. Mais un grand merci à Anna pour ce séjour parfait dans sa maison.

A private paradise
WOW! What a property. This stunning house has been in the family for generations and is still enjoyed by the family today. Because of this, the house is well loved and cared for. The precious details of fresh cut flowers and the softest linen I have ever rest my head on. We loved every moment of the 10 days we spent here. The kids were outside and in the pool and the adults spent peaceful times around all corners of this property. The property is secluded and peaceful yet close enough to town to get everything you need. We had a great time exploring all of the local beaches and even had a private-cook come and add that extra special touch to our stay. Ana Maria and Antonio were perfect hosts, responsive, hospitable and full of brilliant advice and local knowledge. We cannot wait to go back! Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Foi uma estadia gloriosa em que se conjugaram uma casa bonita, impecavelmente arranjada e limpa, uns senhorios muito simpáticos e um tempo maravilhoso. A casa é espaçosa, muito cómoda e sobretudo é uma casa vivida, em que sentimos que por breves dias a partilhamos com alguém. A vista da serra é repousante e os espaços em torno da casa permitem-nos desfrutar dela muito comodamente. Obrigada, Ana e António por nos darem esta oportunidade!

We werden persoonlijk ontvangen en rondgeleid door de eigenaars van de woning en gedurende ons hele verblijf waren zij goed bereikbaar voor vragen en reageerden zij snel. De villa, de terrassen, het zwembad, het uitzicht: het leek wel een sprookje. We hebben als familie een fantastische tijd gehad: comfortabel in de villa en het zwembad en stranden, stadjes en Lissabon dichtbij. En in coronatijd een uitstekende plek om te verblijven zonder dat je iets mist. De kinderen vonden de spelletjes, het zwembad en het speeltuintje heerlijk!

Passamos uma semana relaxante e muito simpática , onde tudo correu bem, acompanhado pelos excelentes cozinhados da D Ana Emilia , ( que poderá ser contratada , caso seja do Interesse dos hóspedes) cozinhados esses regados pelos óptimos vinhos da região. A proprietária está sempre disponível para esclarecer qq assunto do interesse dos hospedes , embora os elementos de consulta existentes na casa , por si só , cubram praticamente tudo o que podera ser questionável sobre a região.

Countryside at its finest
We stayed in Ana's villa for a few days in April. The weather was o.k. and spring had already arrived, with many colorful flowers. The rainy days were great for enjoying the house, laying around in the comfy couches by the fireplace watching a movie or playing board games. There is quite a big collection of books in many languages all around the house, which we happily discovered! Miss Ana Emilia (not the owner Ana) was a dear, cooking for us and cleaning up the rooms (we paid extra for her to come to the house a few times). There are quite a few supermarkets near the village and the coffee shop Negrito great for buying some traditional bakeries, teas, etc. On the sunny hours of the day we went strolling around the farm and watched the chickens, picked up some oranges and so on. One of our favorite details were the bunnies that eat the grass in the morning. We had such a relaxing week! Thank you Ana! Everything was perfect! We are definitely returning :)

Perfect getaway
We had the most perfect week at Antonio and Ana's home. The house is amazing - everything is done so beautifully and it has all the amenities that you'd need. The pool and outdoor areas were a major highlight! We also had the cook Ana come one night and she prepared us the most incredible meal - probably the best food we had all week! Antonio was so helpful the entire week to organize taxis and Ana's cooking, as well as giving us lots of recommendations for beaches and restaurants. We could have happily stayed there for a month! We didn't want to leave! Can't wait to go back soon.
