Catarina is a creative soul who explores her passion for Portuguese gastronomy mostly in the kitchen but also by enjoying great food out with friends. She has worked in several restaurants and gastronomic events, both in Porto and Lisbon. Jorge is a natural born host who loves to entertain at his beautiful home that he is very proud of. He is a serial (and serious) entrepreneur that a few years ago acquired this old traditional building dating from the end of the 19th century (formerly an elementary school) that he has remodeled to his own taste while still maintaining the original architectural features of the house. He has a keen eye for art and decoration so he has made the decor very original with very tasteful, eclectic and unusual decorative features. Its high ceilings and granite stonework play with a refined vintage mid-century style showcasing big and impressive pieces of contemporary art in most walls.

The Mosteiro dos Jeronimos was commissioned by Portuguese King Manuel the 1st and donated to the monks of Saint Hieronymus so that they would pray for the King, and pay spiritual assistance to seafarers that left the shores of Lisbon in quest for the new world. Its very rich ornamentation derives from the exuberance typical of Portuguese Manueline art and is symbolically linked to the Age of Discoveries.

The tower of Belém, also known as the Tower of St Vincent, patron of the city of Lisbon, commemorated the expedition of Vasco da Gama and also served to defend the port of Lisbon. The cross of the Knights of Christ is repeated indefinitely on the parapets of this fortress, while the watch towers that flank it are capped with ribbed cupolas inspired by Islamic architecture.

The complex of Belém (Mosteiro plus tower) is one of the most representative examples of Portuguese power during the Age of Discoveries.
