I am passionate about tourism, particularly tourist accommodation, and I am privileged to make this my life’s work… In fact, my connection to this activity began very early on, almost from the cradle, as a child and in the company of my parents, who were emigrants in Switzerland. The doors of some luxury hotels opened up and I, curious like any child, got to know this world of hospitality.

Years later, this legacy led me to study and train in the field of tourism and work for several years in one of the world’s leading hotel groups – the ACCOR Group – where I held management positions in several of the group’s hotels in Portugal. The desire to build a personal project in this area led me to embrace the idea of creating a tourist accommodation network with its own identity and an exclusive profile – Story Studio. The brand’s first unit is located in the historic centre of Coimbra, the second in the historic village of Piódão, and the third and many more will join this tourist accommodation network in the coming years.
