Our Story
Our story began three years ago when we realized we had something special to offer. Matilde, born and raised in Portugal, brings a wealth of local knowledge and connections. Marta, having relocated from Brazil, knows firsthand the joys and challenges of making Portugal your new home. Together, we've created a relocation service that goes above and beyond.
We're not just about ticking boxes on a checklist. We're about making your move to Portugal an exciting adventure, not a stressful ordeal. From navigating the maze of immigration paperwork to finding your dream home, and from setting up utilities to introducing you to your new favorite café – we've got you covered.
Our network includes legal experts, savvy real estate agents, creative designers, reliable drivers, and specialists in just about everything you'll need for a smooth transition. Think of us as your personal concierge service for all things Portugal!
