Here we are, Louise and Shay, proudly holding our new Alojamento Local sign. You’ll be able to see our failed DIY attempts at putting that up outside our guest house in the UK TV programme A New Life In The Sun on series 10 in January.
We’ve been in Portugal since the 31st of October 2023 (almost a year!) During that time, we bought a beautiful property in Palhais, Sertã that just needed a bit of TLC. It’s been a journey and we can’t wait to see what happens next.
Louise is a massage therapist who worked to build her business up in Scarborough and had a fantastic customer base, many became friends, and dedicated her time to provide the best service possible to those who came to visit her.
Shay is a personal trainer who has worked as a freelance PT in Leeds and Scarborough as well as online coaching and lifestyle blogging. His fun and energetic workouts meant that exercise became something that his clients wanted to do rather than endure. Both Louise and Shay are qualified meditation guides and find this a useful tool in the wellbeing for themselves, their children and their clients.
Our aim is to welcome our guests and to experience our version of tranquility. We offer the services mentioned above and also have a small snack (petiscos) menu for our visitors, but we are equally happy for our guests to just enjoy their surroundings without any other service.
