Santa Bárbara, as seen by the people who work there

Santa Bárbara de Nexe is villa country with a view — halfway up the slope between Faro and the barrocal, where a lot of people built the house they intend to stay in.

South-facing slopes looking out over the lagoon and the sea, large plots, and a mix of restored traditional houses and good-quality new build. Detached villas on generous plots, many with a pool and retaining walls because of the slope, and a good number with natural stone cladding on the façade.

In Santa Bárbara de Nexe we do a lot of outdoor work — stone, walls, pools and façade maintenance.

What we find in Santa Bárbara

Sloping ground means retaining structures

Almost everything built here sits on terraces. Poorly drained retaining walls are the most common structural problem we find in the area.

Natural stone façades needing treatment

Schist and local stone develop efflorescence and green growth on the exposed face. Washing them with the wrong product discolours the stone irreversibly.

Wind and southern exposure

The view has a price: south-facing façades take sun all year round and lower-grade paints lose their colour in two summers.

Linen and Towel Laundry: what we do

Collection and delivery — We collect the used linen and deliver the clean, in closed bags identified by property.
Bed linen — Sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases and protectors, washed at the temperature each fabric calls for.
Towelling — Bath, hand and bidet towels and mats, dried in a way that keeps their body.
Pressing and folding — Everything returned pressed and folded, ready to use without passing through another pair of hands.
Stain treatment — Stains treated individually before washing, which is while they still come out.
Replacement sets — The option of rotating with spare sets, so the property is never waiting on the wash.

3
Washing and drying
Temperature and programme according to the fabric, with controlled drying so the fibres are not scorched.
4
Pressing and delivery
Pressed, folded, checked against the original count and delivered on the agreed date.
