Located just an hour away from Lisbon in the Setúbal region is the charming village of Azeitão. It is nestled among olive and cork trees at the foot of the Arrábida Hills. The village is well known for red wine, olives and its prized creamy sheep cheese, which is considered one of the best in the country. The area is also home to some of the finest quintas (villas or country estates) in the region.
