ABOUT KARINA | FOUNDER RIVIERA & CO
I’ve always believed that spaces should feel as good as they look.
My path started in hospitality at 14 and took me through law, branding, and entrepreneurship before returning to what I love most—creating experiences that elevate everyday life.
After founding Home Staging Portugal, which quickly became recognized as the Best Luxury Home Staging Company in Portugal, I saw a deeper need. Too many expats were struggling through chaotic renovations—unfinished work, poor craftsmanship, and endless stress.
“Luxury isn’t just how it looks—it’s how it works.“
That’s why I founded Riviera Renovations—to bring structure, trust, and beauty back to building in Portugal.
Today, my team manages full renovations and interior design projects across Cascais, Lisbon, Comporta, the Algarve and even Andalusia —uniting international standards with local expertise to make renovation not just seamless, but truly sophisticated.
Because luxury isn’t how it looks—it’s how it works.
