Almancil is where the management service makes most sense and where we have the most clients: villas belonging to foreign owners who spend a few weeks a year here and need somebody with a key, who calls in regularly and deals with what comes up without it having to be managed from abroad.

Almancil and the golden triangle stretching out to Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago is the most demanding place we work — and, for that very reason, the one that keeps our finishing standards where they need to be.
Between the EN125 and the lagoon, with umbrella pines and golf courses shaping the landscape, on large plots where houses rarely sit up against each other. High-end detached villas, many with a pool and a maintained garden, where the outdoor areas are looked after as carefully as the inside. Contemporary straight-lined architecture sits alongside villas in the traditional Algarve style.
In Almancil the most frequent request is ongoing villa maintenance — somebody trustworthy who holds a key, calls in regularly, and sorts things out before they grow.
Many owners live abroad and use the house a few weeks a year. A closed house accumulates problems quietly: still air and damp, a pool degrading, moss taking hold on the roof. When the owner arrives, they want it all ready — and they want to have seen photographs before boarding the plane.
In these houses everything shows: a badly aligned mosaic joint, a wavering paint line, a stone out of tone. The work has to stand being looked at closely and in good light.
There is almost always a gardener, a pool technician and a security company coming into the same house. Scheduling the work without treading on theirs is part of the service.
We carry out a survey with photographs and record meters, consumer units, stopcocks and equipment.
Frequency and checklist agreed with you, depending on whether the house is shut up or being let.
After each visit you receive a report with photographs and anything worth flagging.
Nothing above the figure you agree with us is done without your prior approval.
We work in Almancil regularly. We set out from Loulé and get there in about 15 minutes, which means we can come and look at the job without charging for the trip.
Many owners live abroad and use the house a few weeks a year. A closed house accumulates problems quietly: still air and damp, a pool degrading, moss taking hold on the roof. When the owner arrives, they want it all ready — and they want to have seen photographs before boarding the plane. It is the situation we come across most often in Almancil, and it is why we look at the job before quoting.
Fortnightly is the best balance for an unoccupied house. Weekly if there is a working pool or a demanding garden. Monthly is the minimum we would advise — below that, a problem has time to grow.
Yes. A good share of our management clients are foreign and we communicate in English by email and WhatsApp without difficulty.
From the photographic report of each visit, dated. That is the service itself: without evidence, it would not be worth what you are paying.
