The Local Steward

Your trusted local partner for living in Portugal.

Hi, I'm Pedro.

I run a small private service called The Local Steward, acting as a trusted local presence for expats, managing homes, services and day-to-day needs in Portugal.

Someone you trust handling everything locally.

Our approach

We are well connected and ready to assist you across a wide range of needs.We start by booking an initial conversation, to understand your situation, your home and what you need locally.From there, we define the right level of support:

  • Occasional assistance, for specific needs;

  • Ongoing management, for complete peace of mind.

Acting as your local point of contact, we ensure everything is handled with care, consistency and discretion.

Typically, we handle:

  • Organising private events and small gatherings

  • Coordinating house maintenance and repairs

  • Managing household staff and suppliers

  • Overseeing property upkeep (cleaning, garden, pool)

  • Handling deliveries and on-site visits

  • Preparing homes for arrivals and departures

  • Manage bookings and house rentals

  • Running errands and managing day-to-day needs

A trusted presence, wherever you are.
