Hi Nick. Have been sort of binge watching your diverse videos and we do enjoy your and your partners' style. We are heading to the Algarve next Spring for a bit of R&R but more importantly to check it out for a relocation. Thanks for your realistic style.

Our goal is to eventually retire in the Algarve. Golf, restaurants good winter weather and a healthy expat community is what we are looking for. This seems like a perfect fit. It will all boil down to the cost of ownership.

We stayed at that Conrad the first time we visited Portugal and although the hotel was nice and all we couldn’t figure out why they claimed to be a six star hotel being so far away from the water (unless the swimming pool is considered water as in ocean). We didn’t know of Quinta but I guess mispronouncing it would have gone unnoticed….

When the average monthly income of most in Portugal is 750 USD, one wonders where the money to purchase these properties comes from. No doubt, most purchases are cash. This fact reinforces the supposition of another economy in Europe for those who have..RH/Florida

@@AlgarveAddicts yes that’s a good point ! What a heartbreaking mess. If you look at the work the properties need now … you can’t imagine anyone funding the project. It will (imho) never be completed or sell. Imagine listing them back in 2008.. You ask your client .. (i) would you like two pools ? One on the roof ? (ii) would you like underground parking ? (iii) would you like 500m2 of sheer luxury and golf course views? Then they screw up the deal with (iv) would you like your home to be just 1.5m from your two neighbours? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Utter stupidity… Portuguese stupidity….

Think of houses as big as a small hotel. £100 000 cars, multimillion pound property. CCTV everywhere, security patrols cruising around, high security fences and electric gates. Surrounding a rather spectacular lake. That's Quinta de Lago.
