Rent from owners direct in Portugal

Paul has a 4 bedroom villa with private pool in Sesmarias em Estômbar, Portugal.

We bought this villa in 2007 and have been renting this villa since 2007, happily the guests who have stayed at our villa have recommended it to their friends. They say the photos do not do it justice! Many return year after year and have become friends. We added the private heatable swimming pool. We upgrade and replace all kitchen and bathrooms as necessary. We love sharing the villa with other families to enjoy. We fell in love with Guia and the Algarve on our first visit. Charming area but close to everything! The Portuguese people are so warm and friendly .......just delightful. I have a background in Pharmaceutical Sales and Retailing, previously owned our own business for over 20 years. Now retired, but a busy and adoring Grandmother to three.

Originally I am from the UK and my wife from Canada. We have lived in the UK, Africa and Canada but now live in Portugal we spend our winters at the villa and our summers on the Silver Coast just north of Lisbon, best of both worlds! Having been in the Hospitality Business for many years we decided to put these skills to use in the renting of our Villa and for the past 11 years have seen almost 100% occupancy rates, thank you to all our clients! We were in the business of building villas for expat's and so we chose to build this one using our years of experience and putting our dreams into action. We chose this location because of the spectacular views and that the area is unspoiled, yet we are just a short drive to the best beaches, golf courses, shopping, airport and some of the most inspiring scenery in Portugal.

I live in England on the edge of the Cotswolds. I have 3 children. I have run a property company of both commercial and residential properties for over 30 years. I enjoy living in the country but always look forward to going to Portugal especially when the weather at home is dark, grey and cold. I am used to letting out property in my day to day work so I have experience of what people expect in order to have an enjoyable holiday. We have friends who have holidayed on the west coast of the Algarve for over 20 years and said that their favourite place was Praia da Luz so we decided we would go and see for ourselves. The first time we went to Luz we fell in love with it. The beautiful beaches, the lovely blue skies and the warm sunshine was just what we were looking for. The added bonus was although we were in a foreign country the local people all spoke very good English so there was no need to learn Portuguese. Luz is only 45 minutes drive from Faro airport, the town of Lagos is only a 10 min drive away. We looked at several beaches around the area but decided that Luz had the best. After looking at several properties in Luz we felt this one met all our needs and today we are still pleased with the choice we made. We were looking for a villa which was a short walk from the town and beach, not overlooked, has a private swimming pool and with fantastic sea views and that is what we were lucky enough to find. We have owned the villa for 16 years and have always enjoyed our holidays staying at the villa and having a nice restful and relaxed time. It is only 5-10 minutes walk to the shops and beach so you can just walk down in the evening to enjoy a delicious meal at one of several restaurants in the town. You can lounge around the lovely big pool which is private and not overlooked. The gates to the property can be locked and so it is very secure. What I look forward to is to wake up in the morning and look out to see the fantastic sea views. We are fortunate that the management company who look after the villa has their office is literally just down the road.

I am a retired EY LLP partner living in the Algarve and, with other members of my family, managing and hosting guests at our stunning villa, Casa da Rosa near Loulé, and lovely apartment, Casa do Cordeiro near Sao Bras de Alportel.

We, Kristof and Frederik, lost our hearts in Portugal a few years ago. It is therefore with great pleasure that we let you enjoy the advantages that the country has to offer! A wonderful holiday experience for our guests is paramount, hospitality and small scale are central. Be welcome and experience Portugal!

I love travelling and I try do it as much as I have the opportunity, like taking photos, also love cooking and baking. I am a graduated nurse and public health professional, especially interested in active lifestyle and healthy eating.

We are Suse and Peter, a married couple who bought the property to spend winters in during 2019. Brexit and Covid changed our plans so we took Portuguese residency in early 2020 and are loving life more each day in Portugal. The food, the sunshine, the relaxed pace of life, easy accessibility to Lisbon, Spain and the UK- what's not to like? We live in the 2 bed side and rent the other half of our property to guests on short term lets. Fully renovated over the last 3 years we think our 5 ensuite is a real gem of a find in the Algarve Hills. We love the peace and tranquility, the hard to describe fresh countryside smell, the ever changing views with the seasons, that the stunning beaches of the Ria Formosa are within 25 minutes drive. All our friends and guests remark on how relaxing and welcoming the rental villa is and often say the pictures don't do it justice. Why not find out for yourself?

This family business started in 2012 making a live changing move from the netherlands to Portugal. Living nature with our children in a sunny climate. We carefully build up our tourism bussines from 3 to now 7 accommodations, made it suitable for events and retreats and added over time enough playground to keep the children happy. You can stay in an appartment, cottage, or glamping tent. The central location helps to attract guests with different interests. Sea/beaches/dunes, mountains/forrests/hiking, historic cities/musea it is all less then a 30 minutes drive. Here you can connect with what really matters.
