Devoted to the creation of hospitality destinations that resonate with their local culture and people, José is the 8th generation of the same family to have lived at São Lourenço do Barrocal, a new award-winning destination set within a 780-hectare estate of the Alentejo inland. He is also the lead developer of this vision for a modern country living in Portugal.  Partner in Na Praia, a new coastal development with 2 km of beach on the Tróia peninsula, José is presently committed to bring this special project to life, respecting and valuing the incredible place where it’s being created. He has three children with his wife, Ana, with whom he shares ownership of Estúdio Lisboa.
