Hello! I’m a cheerful, attentive and warm-hearted host, originally from Brazil but with Italian roots — my father moved from Italy to Brazil when he was 19. I’ve been living in beautiful Edinburgh for nearly six years with my husband and our three wonderful children. We absolutely love Scotland and truly believe Edinburgh is one of the most stunning cities in the world. My family and I enjoy travelling and often use platforms like Booking. We always look for well-located places that offer a good balance between comfort and value. We appreciate hosts who are thoughtful and helpful, understanding that holidays are about rest and joy — and that’s exactly what we aim to offer our own guests. We prioritise cleanliness, comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. We believe in treating others with love, respect and compassion, as part of our Christian values. For us, hosting is a way to express this care and help create meaningful and memorable stays. We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh with care and kindeness.
