José Eduardo Sampaio and Florbela Bem
Founders Casa do Marquês
In 1989, José Eduardo Sampaio and Florbela Bem decided to challenge convention and transform the way events were experienced in Portugal. United by their passion for gastronomy and their desire to innovate, they brought Casa do Marquês to life, a project that quickly became a benchmark in the sector, gaining recognition both inside and outside the country.
José Eduardo, a former player for Sporting Clube de Portugal, brought the determination and competitive spirit of sport to the business world. Florbela Bem, with experience in the events sector, began her career at Páteo Alfacinha, an iconic venue that would later join Casa do Marquês. Together, they created a project based on high standards, creativity and the ability to exceed expectations.
