A Secluded Sea View Cottage near the lighthouse at the most western point of Europe is situated in 5000 sq.m. of its own land. It is 1.5 km from the village of Azoia (with its many restaurants and bars) and 400 m from the Cabo da Roca lighthouse (continental Europe's most occidental point).
Azoia is still an unspoiled village, sitting in the foothills of the Serra de Sintra. It offers a rare chance to sample Portuguese village life, well off the normal tourist track but with unrivalled opportunities for walking, climbing, exploring places, churches and castles.
