Casa Azuloia

Location

Directions from Lisbon Airport

Rua do Rio is not on Google maps but you can find the house if you enter Rua das Aguncheiras, Azoia, Sesimbra – this is the road on the North side of the house. The entrance is on the South side.

Please Take Note: There is another village with the name Azoia north of Lisbon. Always search for “Azoia, Sesimbra” to find Casais de Azoia.

There are several ways to go to Azoia. Your GPS may give you an option through Lisbon centre via the bridge Ponte 25 de Abril. However considering the amount of traffic the route via the bridge Ponte Vasco da Gama is usually quicker:
