Company information

Having travelled, worked and lived around the world I've chosen to make Madeira my home for my 'Retirement'. The house is a peaceful retreat for me and any valued guests that wish to recharge. I now spend my time enjoy the surroundings walking my rescued Bearded Collie dog who is terribly well behaved.
