I’ve never been very good at following a predictable path.⁠

I’m a real estate founder, a businesswoman, a mum, a traveller, and, above all, endlessly curious. I like exploring new places, meeting new people, taking on new challenges and sometimes figuring out the next move as I go.⁠

So yes, nobody knows my next move.⁠
Sometimes…including me. 😊

The Lisbon international schools every international family should know 📚⁠

• The British School of Lisbon⁠
• Lisbon International School⁠
• The Lisboan International School⁠
• PaRK International School⁠
• Redbridge International School⁠
• International Sharing School⁠
• Deutsche Schule Lissabon (German School of Lisbon)⁠

Each school has its own curriculum, teaching philosophy, and community, so the right choice depends on what matters most to your family.⁠

One of the things I love about this Chiado residence is the way the design brings everything together.⁠

The 390 sqm home was completely reimagined over four years, with bespoke finishes, natural stone, custom joinery and beautiful attention to detail throughout.⁠

At the centre is the American-style kitchen, sleek, spacious and effortlessly connected to the living and dining areas. It’s the kind of kitchen that feels designed not just for cooking, but for actually living and entertaining.⁠

Add the 3.90m ceilings, four en-suite bedrooms, beautiful river views and two private parking spaces, and you have a home that feels both sophisticated and incredibly comfortable.⁠

Now available at a new price.⁠

If I had €200k to flip in Lisbon, I would not spend it on a luxury renovation.⁠

I would spend it on creating perceived value.⁠

Because the best flips in Lisbon are rarely about making a property bigger.⁠
They’re about making it feel brighter, smarter and more effortless to live in.⁠

With a €200k budget today, my approach would probably be:⁠

— Find an underperforming apartment in a strong location⁠
— Focus on layout, natural light and flow⁠
— Invest heavily in kitchen + bathrooms⁠
— Keep finishes elegant but timeless⁠
— Avoid over-customisation⁠
— Create a product that feels “move-in ready” for international buyers⁠

Why?⁠

Because Lisbon buyers are increasingly paying for convenience.⁠

And the numbers matter:⁠
Full renovations in Lisbon currently average around €1,000–€1,500/m² depending on the condition of the building and scope of works. Historic properties can go much higher. ⁠

Which means €200k is enough to completely reposition the right apartment, if the purchase was smart.⁠

The mistake most people make when flipping?⁠
They overspend on finishes and underestimate timelines, licensing and hidden structural costs.⁠

In Lisbon, the real profit is usually created:⁠
• in the negotiation,⁠
• in the floorplan,⁠
• and in understanding what buyers emotionally respond to.⁠

Not in gold taps and expensive marble.⁠

Personally, I would rather create a property that feels quietly luxurious than obviously expensive.⁠

Because those are the homes that sell fastest.⁠

If you had €200k to flip a Lisbon apartment, what would you prioritise?⁠

✨ Would you believe this used to be an abandoned factory?⁠

Today, LX Factory is one of Lisbon’s most iconic destinations, filled with cafés, restaurants, creative studios, independent shops, and an energy that’s hard to find anywhere else.⁠

It’s a reminder that the best places aren’t always the newest. Sometimes, they’re the ones with a story.⁠

This is one of my favourite examples of how Lisbon transforms old spaces into thriving communities, while preserving the character that makes the city so special.⁠

It’s also a great reminder that great real estate isn’t just about new developments; it’s about vision, regeneration, and creating places where people genuinely want to be.⁠

Have you been to LX Factory yet? Or is it on your Lisbon bucket list? 👇⁠

People often think real estate is about square metres and beautiful interiors. 💫⁠

For me, it’s just as much about what’s outside the front door.⁠

The local community, the small businesses, the families, and the energy of a neighbourhood… that’s what transforms an address into a home.⁠

This quote stopped me in my tracks.⁠

Any guesses where I found it here in Lisbon? Let me know below before I reveal it in the next reel. ⁠

Part 2 of my personal summer guide to Lisbon.⁠ 🌞

If you’re looking for a summer full of great music and good energy, Lisbon has plenty to offer. From , .festival, , and to the relaxed Sunday vibes of , there’s always something happening.⁠

Spend some time at Jardim das Flores, stop by one of Lisbon’s many cafés, grab a pizza, enjoy a beer (or an Água das Pedras), and soak up the atmosphere like the locals do.⁠

When the sun starts to set, catch a movie under the stars with .lisbon, treat yourself to an ice cream, then head to for rooftop views, dinner and cocktails before finishing the evening with great music at .members.club.⁠

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or spending the whole summer here, these are just a few of the experiences that make Lisbon so special. And somewhere between the beaches, festivals, sunsets and long summer evenings, you might even find the place you’ll want to call home.⁠

Save this guide for your next summer in Lisbon.⁠ ✨

One of the things that makes Lisbon so special is its ability to honour the past while embracing the future.⁠✨

What was once a pasta factory built in 1908 is now home to the Lisbon International School — , a beautifully restored campus that combines historic architecture with a modern, internationally recognised education.⁠

For many families moving to Lisbon, finding the right home also means finding the right school. It’s the lifestyle, the community, and the opportunities that make a place feel like home.⁠

This is another reason why Lisbon continues to attract people from all over the world, not just for its beautiful properties, but for the quality of life that comes with them.⁠

Would a school like this be an important factor in your decision to move to Lisbon?⁠
