We are of Portuguese, Irish and French nationality and living abroad as expats for 20 years. We chose to have Casa Estelliane in Paderne as it is a place close to our hearts, family and moreover we enjoy the calmness and surrounding beauty that Paderne has to offer. We spend 1-2 months a year in Casa Estelliane which is named after our 2 daughters Estelle and Diane.
