We have many years experience in the Hospitality industry and we speak Italian, German, English, Spanish and Portuguese trying to give you the best service as possible. Denis is a qualified Chef and an useful handy man from Italy with a lot of experience and patience. He loves surfing and he has been travelling/working overseas since 2006.
