  Tracie • From Sevenoaks, United Kingdom

  A bit about myself ... I'm married with two children and live in Kent. I don't work full time but I have several interests, some paid, some voluntary, with most related to properties. For example, I'm a relocation agent helping people move to the UK, refurbish properties for business and own use, am a landlord and, of course, have Casa Amora. My parents bought Casa Amora from plan and I took over the running in the mid-2000s. So, as well as being a business, it's our family vacation home. I plan on keeping the villa as a escape in the sun so no air conditioning or high-tech wiring, but homely, comfortable and with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. I'm open to suggestions. Tracie :)

  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.

  Gerald • From South Croydon, United Kingdom

  Private owner joined January 2023

  Kirstie and I went to Olhao for the first time in March 2018. The weather was unusually wet but despite that we fell in love with this amazing town. Not too small, not too big, super friendly people and amazing bars and restaurants right on the edge of a natural lagoon that produces vast amounts of clams and oysters. We hopped on the ferry and went to the Barrier Islands which have some great restaurants and beaches that go on forever. We have never regretted buying this apartment.

  Ruben • From Pinheiro de Coja, Portugal

  Private owner joined November 2022

  Hi, my name is Ruben and I am from the Netherlands. Together with my wife Ingeborg, I have lived in Portugal since January 2020 and never want to leave here. The peace, nature and friendly people move me every day, ever since the first time I set foot on Portuguese soil. Nature is so wonderful, there is always something blooming here. I love maintaining the garden and swimming pool and having a chat with the guests in between. You will therefore see me regularly. In the Netherlands, I was a chef and had my own restaurant. But I never regretted changing my knives for pruning shears. You will see my wife a little less often, who also has an online job and is mainly concerned with advance contacts, administration and housekeeping.

  Natascha • From Ericeira, Portugal

  Private owner joined November 2022

  Bom dia. We are Natascha and Fred from Vleuten in the Netherlands. For years we have been up to our ears in love with the beautiful Portugal. We think it's a wonderful country. We thoroughly enjoy the beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, the sea and the wonderful food. The Portuguese people are so welcoming and friendly. And, not unimportant, Portugal is relatively cheap. Eating out need doesn't have to be more expensive than cooking at home. Bem vindo in our beautiful house, you are welcome!

  Vera • From Barrio, Portugal

  Private owner joined November 2022

  We are a couple with a son that is fortunate enough to have already travel around the world. After traveling for some of the most amazing places on Earth we fall inlove with the Portuguese Silver Cost and that is where we decided to make our nest and share it with you! Being travelers we know how are it might be to find a place where we can feel like home during our holidays. This is why we have put our efforts in preparing our house to make sure you will find all the comfort (for example with a top mattress in the master bedroom, chateau d’ax sofa, etc) you need, with taste and respect. This is our commitment to you! Now, while you are there take time to appreciate our lovely owl that lives in front of us, hear the sounds of nature or just look at our wonderful stars above us. Here for you, Vera & Alex
