A Journey Home to Portugal
Cecilia Alexandre grew up in the windswept cliffs and golden beaches of Nazare, Portugal, a place that shaped who she is. At seventeen, she left her homeland for Canada, carrying with her the warmth of Portuguese sunshine, the sound of the Atlantic, and an unshakeable spirit.
A Life of Art and Care
For the past two decades, Cecilia has built a celebrated career as an award-winning hair stylist in Hamilton, Ontario, becoming known for her artistry, warmth, and the genuine connections she builds with every client. Her salon became more than a place for beauty. It became a space where people felt truly cared for.
The pull of home never faded.
A Dream Realized
Casa Alexandre Azul represents a dream realized: a beautiful, modern apartment in Quarteira where Cecilia can eventually retire, and where she can share the very best of Portugal with visitors from around the world.
Named after the Portuguese word for blue, a nod to both the ocean that defined her childhood and the colour that brings calm and peace, this apartment is her way of inviting others into the slower, more meaningful rhythm of Portuguese coastal life.
More Than Just a Rental
When you stay here, you're not just renting an apartment. You're stepping into the world of someone who genuinely loves this place and wants you to experience it as she does. Think morning coffee by the sea, long walks along the promenade, fresh seafood at sunset, and the kind of peace that comes from being close to the water.
Cecilia welcomes you to discover what Portugal has offered her all her life: beauty, simplicity, and the chance to slow down.
