ABOUT US

My name is Esther Gonzalo, and I've been living in Lisbon since 1998. I moved here for work, as I'm an IT programmer, but I quickly fell in love with this fascinating city, even though it hadn't yet become the trendy hotspot it is today. Back then, most Portuguese people didn't want to live in the city center because it was considered a bit run-down. However, I saw it differently. I was captivated by the historic architecture and the stunning river views. So, I decided to take a chance and, to the surprise and dismay of my co-workers, I purchased a Charming River View Loft apartment in Chiado.

I truly enjoyed living in that apartment for over 20 years with my family. In 2012, I had the opportunity to buy the apartment next door, Chiado Terraced ,a dilapidated property in ruins. After a thorough renovation, I transformed it into a comfortable, modern space, and decided to keep it for hosting my guests, family, and friends. 

Later, I acquired another loft apartment, CastleViewAttic, which I also fully refurbished.

This led me to the idea of creating my own small business, offering these three charming lofts to visitors who want to experience Lisbon in a genuine and memorable way.
