Olá!
If you’ve reached us here, you probably share our love of the beautiful and unique island of Madeira. We want you to enjoy all the island has to offer as much as we do, so let us take care of your Island Life when you can’t, freeing up leisure time when you are here. We provide a concierge and hosting service to part-time Islanders and owners of short term let properties.
Be assured that when you arrive everything is in place so you don’t lose valuable downtime on cleaning and admin, or if you have a short term rental you need managed, we are here to take care of your investment and ensure you are getting bookings, satisfied guests and positive reviews. Our first language is English and Andre is fluent in Portuguese so communication is clear at all times.
As a small family business, we provide personalised and reliable service, giving comfort and peace of mind to our clients who feel at ease knowing their property and admin needs are taken care of.
ABOUT US
André has been visiting Madeira on holiday since childhood, as his parents are from the island and both emigrated to South Africa as children, with their families still maintaining close links with Madeira.
In 2015 we took our first trip here as a family and by our third trip in 2019 we were already talking about making a permanent move to Portugal. We made another trip in 2020 with the intention of having a short break before moving to Lisbon but we never left, and we are now overjoyed to call Madeira home!
