About us & Property Finder Service

Hello, thank you for spending a few minutes flicking through the pages on this site and our “ Bed & breakfast “ web site.

We are Noeme & Norman Judge aged 45 and 68 respectively, both with a very young outlook to life. Our desire to leave the UK for this beautiful part of the world was not a very difficult decision to make in 2004 and offering a B & B, Evening Meal as well as self catering options seemed very natural given the fact that in our own rights we are considered to be accomplished cooks. Noeme originally from Philippines/Hong Kong and Norman from Jersey/Isle of Man. Our business ethics are quite simple, eco friendly tourism and organic self sufficiency as far as possible. Although the business has been going for a short time the glowing testimonials on our Web site "Guest Book" speaks volumes and with referral and repeat bookings so early we are confident that we are on the right track. We are animal lovers; hence the two dogs, one cat, 6 ducks and one goose are kept separate from guests. Owners of pets are welcome. With a lot accomplished in the last few years we are now in a position to progress and share our knowledge with like minded people.

What ever is the reason once you have made your decision to go-ahead we may be able to realise your wish? This web site and our related Bed & Breakfast Web site will have given you visually a very good idea what to expect in this area so where do you go from here?

During our quest to find a suitable property several years ago, we learned a lot of what to buy and what not to buy, ie. old or new, inland or coastal, town or countryside, with or without land, price, and the list goes on and on.

Luckily for us finding a property was not difficult, the most difficult part was making a decision to buy the right one first time around that suited both our immediate and long term needs. It is amazing how many people only consider the short term through rose tined glasses and later because of a change in their personal circumstances after a few years they find them selves with a property unsuitable to meet their new needs with no likelihood of rectifying the situation. We hear every month of previous buyers that have fallen into this category that are trapped owning properties they are not able to sell, as the market is flooded with similar properties.

We have built up a wealth of knowledge regarding buying a property in this area; which we would be only too pleased to share with you if you decide to stay with us ......it could save you much time, energy and, of course, hard earned cash! , as well as making the buying process an enjoyable stress free one. Once you have made the commitment to spend a minimum of one week with us we will offer you our Property Finder service package, just let us know what your requirements are and we will make enquiries regarding properties not sold through estate agents or alternatively direct you to all the appropriate estate agents web sites.

If you should decide that a new build is not to your liking we are also able to offer short term rental accommodation with our self catering dwelling next door until such time your own property is up and running and you are ready to move in. 

There are now plenty of very reasonably priced quality properties for sale; it is very much a buyers market.

Your next step is to come to Northern Portugal meet us and see why this area has become very desirable for the reasons as previously stated.
