About Alma Cecilia

Creating a peaceful sanctuary for artists, writers, and creators in the Portuguese countryside.

Alma Cecilia - Host of Artists Residency

A Lifelong Commitment to Art & Culture

Former linguist, proofreader, and freelance translator (in French, English, Spanish, and Italian), I was also an agent for musicians. I lived and worked abroad mainly in the USA (NYC, Boston, and Washington D.C.), Italy, and France (Paris, Fontainebleau), surrounding myself with artists and creators.

Hence my desire to open my house in Santo Estêvão to authors, translators, musicians, composers, playwrights, painters, and visual artists who seek inspiration immersed in nature.

Réglisse and U2 - Wire-haired Teckels

Welcoming Companions

"I will welcome the residents with my 2 wire-haired teckels, Réglisse and U2, who – just like their owner – are highly sociable and sensitive to music and beauty."

Our home offers an intimate, quiet environment where residents can focus deeply on their creative process while enjoying warm hospitality.
