About us

Welcome!

I am Philippe Beernaert.

About 15 years ago I exchanged my life in Belgium for sunny Portugal, where I lost my heart to the beautiful Algarve. Here, in the middle of nature, I found the ideal place to bring my passion for hospitality to life. I proudly manage five charming vacation homes, each with a private pool, surrounded by the peace and beauty of nature. Each house is designed with attention to detail and offers all the comforts you need to completely unwind. Whether you want to relax by the pool, enjoy a barbecue in the garden or explore the surrounding nature, my houses offer the perfect base. What is important to me is that you feel right at home. Therefore, I make sure that everything is taken care of to perfection and am always ready to help with tips, local recommendations or arranging activities. Here, in the Algarve, there is so much to discover: golden beaches, unspoiled nature, picturesque villages and delicious local cuisine. My vacation homes offer you not only luxury and privacy, but also a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I look forward to welcoming you here and letting you enjoy all that this special place has to offer.
