BOLD Episode 1 | Boutique without boundaries: Rethinking hospitality from the outside

In the very first episode of BOLD, we meet José Gonçalves, who left behind a 30-year career in IT to build not one, but two stunning boutique hotels operating 35 rooms in Portugal’s Algarve.

What began as a family dream is now a thriving hospitality brand defined by local partnerships, sustainable values, and tech-powered service.

Tune in to hear how José:

Built unique guest experiences using RoomRaccoon
Removed rigid rules like breakfast hours
Supports local producers to drive community sustainability
Scales with systems that empower his team, not complicate it

Whether you're running a boutique property or dreaming of opening one, José’s story is a masterclass in bold reinvention.
