Company slogan
“Exceptional Service as Standard”
Clients
We provide services for both owners of property in the Western Algarve and holidaymakers who wish to rent holiday accommodation in the area.
Our owners and rental guests come from many parts of the world and we provide them with a quality service with many rental guests booking with us year after year.
Crime Prevention and Service Quality Approach
From the outset we have always provided safety and security measures over and above those required by local or national regulations. For instance, all our properties have smoke alarms, and a carbon monoxide detector where appropriate.
Our property maintenance schedule ensures that not only fire safety equipment is regularly maintained but any health & safety concerns are attended to promptly, making a safe and comfortable environment for owners and guests alike.
With our many years’ experience and local knowledge, we are able to advise owners on the most appropriate security measures for their property – and review these measures regularly.
On the rental bookings side, we have many security measures in place to identify ‘spam’ and other unwanted emails and we are very successful at avoiding fraudulent enquiries.
