Hello all, 

my first post here. I have been lurking for some time now while settling in to my first 3 months in Portugal. My wife and I have moved here for a better life closer to nature and are currently renting accommodation near Coimbra. 

We will be completing a property purchase in a matter of days in a little hamlet on the castelo bode lake and would like recommendations of local builders around Abrantes and the area. 

any help would be much appreciated. 

It would also be great to hear from anyone based in that area as we won’t know anyone local yet.
