Lise and I are both hotel professionals living in the North of Portugal. After years of roaming the planet, we fell in love with Lisbon and decided to put down some roots and buy a place. You will see pictures and paintings from everywhere we have lived, from Marrakech to Paris, Bali to Maldives, where we met 10 years ago.
We currently live and work in Douro and like nothing more than escaping for the occasional weekend to our nest in Principe Real; typically hitting the Saturday organic veggie market and bakery on the square early, then walking the city and cooking up a storm in the evenings (that is if we are not tempted by one of the top restaurants only a few steps away.).. We hope you will enjoy the city as much as we do.
