Atelier ribo+ DOURO

Rua do Couraceiro

5100-840 Valdigem - PT

 

We are based in Portugal in Valdigem, a small town in the north of the country in the Douro region. Here you can feel the charm of an ancient bond between the land and its inhabitants. Here you can feel the authentic atmosphere of well-being that stems from an age-old balance between human beings and nature.

Douro - A new horizon 

Elective affinities exist? In atelier ribo+, we think so, and between Ticino and the Douro Valley, there are many similarities. First of all, there is a river that baptises territories, there is water as a symbol of life and a way of connection.

There are places shaped by heroic agriculture, which has created unique landscapes with terracing, in a continuous confrontation with the environment. There is a culture that is both Latin and mountainous: creativity and tradition. Add to this the fact that the wife of the atelier’s founder is Portuguese, and the destiny is sealed.

This was born the branch on Lusitana land of atelier ribo+, the geographical coordinates change but not the mission. The commitment is still twofold, but with an integrated vision:

• reactivation of deserving built heritage (fifths, bourgeois buildings);

• reactivation of natural heritage (urban and non-urban landscapes).

 

UNESCO World Heritage Centre

The Alto Douro Wine Region is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre. This implies special attention in the quality of architectural and landscape interventions.

A quality that is guaranteed by the atelier culture, based on ‘swissness’. Swiss precision is combined with the style, creativity and good taste of Italian design. Two essential characteristics for dealing with issues such as transformative tourism and climate change.

Who we address

Foreigners who wish to have real estate in Portugal

Portugal offers history and beauty at a slow, rich, friendly, and conscious pace of life. The Portuguese people make the country even more of an ideal destination to move to.

The quality of life is one of the main reasons families choose to move to Portugal as their primary residence or as a second home for times of relaxation and vacation.

The country offers security, a rich culture, excellent cuisine and a pleasant climate all year round. It has an efficient administrative organization, a focus on protection from climate change, and there is a growing climate of trust.

 

Locals (or residents) who want to enhance their real estate assets with high potential and value 

The Douro Region is a fascinating place, with its beautiful scenery and evocative boat routes. The vast network of hiking trails and mtb routes to immerse yourself in the landscape is combined with the millennial food and wine culture.

All this makes it an area with great tourism potential, in which to invest to offer rental real estate solutions for those who want to breathe in the climate of the Lusitanian land.

We address those who have a prestigious real estate heritage, whether it is residential, hotel, cultural or productive of the terroir, who wish to enhance it with Swiss quality and Latin creativity.
