We fell in love with Paderne over two decades ago. First we got lured in by the year-round amazing weather and we recognised it as an ideal quick getaway from the often grey Belgian weather.

After a while though it became something else entirely when we discovered the authentic Portuguese way of life. The delicious food, the smooth drives across the countryside, the beautiful beaches and just that general sense of ease and relaxation that washes over you when you see those amazing vistas.

It made it much more than a getaway. It became a home.

We decided to share our experience by completely renovating some properties that capture that Portuguese feeling but also suit the needs for modern families and couples.

Have a look and maybe you’ll find your second home as well.
