The articles featured in this section of Ambiente’s website are written by our managing director Suzanne Watkinson and describe properties, predominantly residential, here in Macau.
For readers contemplating a move to Macau we hope that this offers a useful insight into the kind of homes they could expect to find.
It has to be said that a home is what you make of it. Many of those included are rented, not owned. Readers should be aware that in most cases rental properties are usually passed to their new tenants as a blank canvas, with little character, charm or ‘soul’. It is the creativity and caring of those living in them that has made them what they are.
Suzanne is a regular contributor to the monthly magazine Macau Closer, where these articles are published.
