In 2002, we fell in love with the Old Town of Tavira and acquired Casa LaLuLeva, which we carefully renovated in 2006. In 2007, we seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase an adjoining plot with a heritage-listed ruin. After four years of painstaking construction, Casa Fonte dos Mouros has been fully restored in close collaboration with the Portuguese heritage authority.

Both beautifully appointed houses are used privately by our family, yet are available to rent during the times we are not there ourselves.
