After more than 40 years living in Pointe Noire, Congo Brazzaville, Sonia Cavozza, Bruno Barreto and Sophie Duhen decided to embrace a new phase in their lives by acquiring and running Eleven Boutique House and Garden, a charming guest house located in Boliqueime, Algarve, Portugal.

Bruno Barreto, of Portuguese-French origin, and Sonia Cavozza, a talented Italian chef, bring with them a wealth of life experience and a deep love of gastronomy and hospitality. Alongside them, Sophie Duhen, a long-time friend and almost sister, of French nationality, completes the trio with her European charm and elegance.

They chose Portugal, a magnificent country, and specifically the Algarve, attracted by the relaxed lifestyle and natural beauty of the region, known for its stunning beaches, mild climate and rich cultural traditions. This new development is much more than just a business; it is a fusion of cultures and experiences that promises to offer guests a unique and unforgettable stay, with a true immersion in the authenticity of the Algarve.

The management of Eleven Boutique House and Garden reflects the rich cultural diversity of its owners, combining Portuguese hospitality, Italian cuisine with multicultural influences brought by Sonia, and Sophie's French sophistication. Together, they have transformed the accommodation into a cosy and vibrant space where visitors can enjoy the best that each culture has to offer, in a privileged location in the heart of the Algarve.

The Eleven Boutique House and Garden is more than just a place to stay; it is a tranquil haven where authenticity, quality and attention to detail combine to provide a truly memorable experience. Whether for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a voyage of discovery, this boutique hotel in the Algarve offers an intimate and personalised atmosphere, where each guest is welcomed as if they were part of the family.
