Rent from owners direct in Portugal

We bought this villa in 2015 and have rented it since 2016. We fell in love with Casa dos Padeiros because it is so private, set in an acre of grounds, and yet only a few minutes drive to everywhere that you would want to go to. It has mountains behind us and a view of the sea in front.

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.

We love and live Algarve to the fullest. Our team has more than twenty years of experience in this field, so we are you best choice for you holiday. Through our amazing properties you can get to know one of the most beautiful and paradisiac regions of Portugal.

Hello, I’m Heidi and since 2016 I’ve been married to my husband Christ. After a number of unforeseen events, we decided in 2022 to “change course” and began making plans to emigrate. In 2023 we finally left the rat race in the Netherlands and moved to Portugal, where we are building a new life – but above all, taking the time to truly enjoy. Enjoying life, the culture, the delicious food, the beautiful views, the nature, and the peace and quiet.

Hi my name is John, My wife and I have been living between Portugal(my family home) the UK and South Africa since Covid, whilst here in Portugal I decided to convert 2 containers into a tiny home, situated at the entrance to a forest along a river in our garden. With beautiful views of the Salreu Bioria wetland and estuary across the road from the property, walking, biking, birding and general nature beckoned ! Our family have owned the property for about 50 years and we would often come on bucolic holidays away from the busy lifestyle we were accustomed to, collecting eggs, picking fruit, walking to the pastelaria for a bica and pastel, totally immersed in nature but still able to catch the train into Porto, Lisbon, Aveiro and Coimbra accessing the fast paced life again!

We are a Dutch family - a composer/producer and a former management assistant, with our beautiful twin daughters - who decided it was time for a change...something completely different. After a long quest we found this beautiful island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2018 we took the step, moved to Faial, and bought a house, abandoned for almost 20 years. An opportunity for sure, so we started our new adventure to build on a new home... Now, we run Faial Cottage, a second house on the same property where we live, to receive and meet many nice people from all around the world. Feel welcome to stay with us!
