He met Antonio Princi through a mutual friend, a real estate agent who was selling a property built by Princi Homes – a family-owned business based in Malaga that specialises in all areas of home construction and believes in providing the highest possible quality of service to all its clients. After viewing the property, the client decided that he wanted a similar home for his block of land. He met with Antonio and his son Anthony and hired Princi Homes to undertake construction of the home.
