“Maxi has done a superb job planning and project managing the restoration of my traditional cortijo. He has excellent contacts with local officials and artisans so that the work is done legally and to a high standard.“

CASA ANA, FERREIROLA

“I recently converted a traditional house in the village of Ferreirola into a boutique Casa Rural with accommodation for up to 15 guests. Maxi Mateos played a major role in the planning and design of the second phase of the building project, as well as acting as project manager for two years.

I can heartily recommend Maxi both as an architect and as a project manager. He was creative, careful and resourceful throughout with a great sense of responsibility for the project’s success. I was extremely happy with both the process and the final result.“
