Spaces, Stories, Smiles

  • Alan & Jackie | Algoz e Tunes

    Sotinta are truly incredible. From the moment we met them, we knew they were the right people to entrust with many jobs for our home here in Portugal.

    It can be incredibly difficult to find people you can rely on when you’re out of the country. However, this team has proven to be trustworthy, dependable, and always willing to go the extra mile to deliver the highest level of customer service.

    We have now used them for many different services for our home, and every time the work has been completed to the very highest standard.

    We will continue to use Sotinta for the rest of the projects we have planned — we simply wouldn’t go anywhere else.

  • Helen | Albufeira

    Sotinta have just completed a shower room renovation and I cannot thank them enough! Their efficiency, attention

    to detail, communication and, most importantly, their standard of work is outstanding! What a refreshing change to

    deal with such professionals. They dealt with absolutely everything and their attention to detail is second to none!

    I can absolutely recommend these guys 100%. Thanks so much Sotinta! 

  • Emma | Alvor

    I can't recommend Sotinta highly enough! After a fire in my apartment, they handled everything from repairs and

    deep cleaning to a full repaint - and the results were amazing. Sotinta was incredibly professional, communicative,

    and friendly throughout the whole process. They delivered everything on time and made what could have been a

    really stressful situation feel smooth and manageable. If you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, Sotinta is the one to call! 

  • Valerie | Tavira

    Thank you very much, Sotinta, for the renovations to my house in Tavira. The workers worked hard and gave great attention to detail. The company was able to field a variety of experts with wide skills so the renovation was

    completed with the least possible disruption. I was particularly pleased with the way the workers cleaned up after themselves. I would certainly recommend the company.

  • Anouck | Praia da Luz

    Thank you so much for your excellent work remediating and repainting our ceilings while we were abroad. The communication throughout was very helpful given that we were not here to oversee the work - sending us videos and pictures throughout the process made us feel confident that we were in good hands! Thank you again and we would definitely recommend your services to others!

Uncover our story

At SoTinta, our journey spans continents, cultures, and countless walls brought to life. With years of hands-on experience across Africa and Europe, we’ve honed our craft in multiple languages English, Portuguese, and Dutch connecting with clients from all walks of life.

Our story took root in South Africa, where we transformed a forgotten ruin into a stunning boutique guesthouse a sanctuary of tranquillity and rest, infused with the vibrant curves and colours inspired by Gaudí. That project ignited our passion for blending creativity with craftsmanship, and for turning neglected spaces into places of beauty and purpose.

Drawn by the charm and opportunity of Portugal’s ever-evolving architecture and renovation needs, we moved here to be part of the country’s ongoing story of transformation. From timeless stone villages to modern coastal retreats, our goal is simple: to leave every project more beautiful, functional, and inspiring than we found it.

SoTinta, Painting Portugal’s future, one renovation at a time.
