Since semi-retiring back to my place of birth in this beautiful part of Central Portugal, my passion for breathing new life into some of the 'forgotten' properties in my local villages has kept me busy! 

My career in the construction industry in the United States provided me with a wealth of experience and a good standard of English too!

This website showcases my current projects and restoration work. I usually have properties in all stages of restoration and offer a unique, bespoke service enabling clients to put their own individual stamp on a future home.

I take great pride in my work and my reputation and have developed great relationships with many previous clients who have become good friends over the years.

When I am not busy restoring properties I enjoy cooking a variety of traditional Portuguese dishes and growing organic produce in my garden, usually accompanied by our West Highland Terrier Gnocchi!

I keep several goats and a number of chickens so I enjoy my own supply of goat’s milk and eggs. This wonderful part of Portugal is steeped in tradition, full of friendly people and the perfect place to relax and unwind.

I look forward to meeting you! - Celso Dias
