Manteigas Lovers

Born in Mozambique, raised in Lisbon until i was 21. After living almost two decades in Sweden, I returned to the south of Portugal, to live in a organic and self-sufficient farm, by the sea. When I came to Manteigas to pick up a Serra da Estrela Dog, I was amazed by the area. A few years later, I fell in love with this house, which I have been dedicating my last 6 years to. A creative, challenging and inspiring project. A dream that is coming true. I would like to share it with you. Welcome! Nascida em Moçambique, criada em Lisboa até aos 21 anos. Depois de viver quase duas décadas na Suécia, regressei ao Sul de Portugal, para viver numa quinta biológica e auto-suficiente, à beira mar. Ao vir a Manteigas buscar um cão Serra da Estrela fiquei deslumbrada com a zona. Alguns anos depois viria-me a apaixonar por esta casa, à qual me tenho dedicado nos últimos seis anos. Um projeto criativo, desafiante e inspirador. Um sonho que se está a tornar realidade. Gostava de o partilhar convosco. Bem-vindos!
