Pac4Portugal Team – Our time out!

Wow the summer is nearly over and we have been working really hard.  We have been fortunate to get a little time out to enjoy some of the events.

Pac4Portugal.com would like to continue to promote its “Personal Service, Local Knowledge” via sharing our experiences.  Our time out! offers you an insight to events, places and leisure activities we like to undertake in our spare time, whether as a team, as an individual or with our clients.

Working 7 days a week sometime you forget to have fun and last week we really enjoyed the Feira Medieval de Silves (Silves Medieval Festival).  This is a 10 night experience that usually takes place from the second week of August.

We managed to obtain some Pac4Portugal Team promo photos with our favourite entertainers of 2015 Silves Medieval:

Sons da Suévia, great medieval music band

Pac4Portugal & Sons da Suévia

And Escola de Dança Oriental Denise de Carvalho, who mesmorised us with their dancing

Pac4Portugal Feira Medieval de Silves

Our Time Out! so far features one of our favourite trips out to the west coast with a return journey via Caldas de Monchique.  This is something we recommend to our more adventurous clients with cars and we always receive lots of appreciation afterwards.  Pac4Portugal Escapes to Aljezur

Also there is a section about some of the professional and amateur music we enjoy throughout the year. We have a Rock ‘n’ Roll star in the team as well as a songwriter and he loves going to open house jam sessions.  In addition there is abundance of concerts across the Algarve in the summer, with Fatacil, Lagoa at the end of August normally a huge hit with a mixture of culture, stalls, food and entertainment.

Amateur Music Algarve

There is lots more planned but at present time is a little short to go into the detail we would like and so this will be an evolving project.

Happy Easter/Feliz Páscoa Newsletter

Pac4Portugal Rentals, Management and Maintenance

We are just in the process of releasing our Easter newsletter and receiving plenty of responses with a number turning into bookings.  So for those of you not on our mailing list, our newsletter is below:

Late Deals

We would like to wish you a Happy Easter, if you are looking for a late deal, then contact us with your requirements and we can see what the best deal we can do for you.

2015 to be a busy season

We have had a great start to the 2015 Season with bookings and enquiries a lot better than the last few years.  However we still have limited availability for July/August 2015, mainly due to the fact we are still continuing to source quality properties to add to our Portfolio.  You will see two new villas in our newsletter and one that has returned to the portfolio on Quinta do Parasio.

Monte Dourado complex is 95% full already for August 2015 and our private owners are enjoying one the best rental years ever.  There is limited availability now throughout the year, with a high number of repeat clients.

Perfect locations

Casa Figora and Casa Eucalyptus (Caramujeira, Carvoeiro) which we introduced to you in our December newsletter seems to filling an important gap between complete rural villas and those close to the beach.

If you want to escape the world, enjoy nature, view the beautiful star filled night sky and spend important time with friends, family or loved ones, then Casa da Terra (NE of Messines) maybe perfect for you.  Due to a couple of cancellations Casa da Terra is available in July and August 2015.  This 2 bedroom villa with pool is just £825 per week and sleeps up to 4 people.

June is a beautiful month in the Algarve and coincidentally we only have availability now in June for Casa Bella Vista, a stylish 4 bedroom villa in Areias Dos Moinhos, Carvoeiro.  Offering outside a large pool with high quality outdoor furniture, lawn area, electric gates and inside WiFi and aircon, sleeping up to 9 people.

Weddings

Are you travelling to Carvoeiro to attend a wedding this year?  Then we have a couple of villas close to the Tivoli that maybe perfect for you, Casa Trevo and Casa Filarte.

Villa Upgrades

The upgrades on Casa Comprida,  Casa Birgitta and Casa Solfeiras are due to be finished for the beginning of May ready for our first rental clients in both.

New Airport Transfer Company

Unfortunately the company that we worked with for airport transfers last year is now no longer trading, however do not worry as we have already found another company to offer as good or even better airport transfers.  1-4 people is 65€ each way and 5-8 is 70€ each way, however at this time we cannot offer free supermarket trip.  We are busy trying to source local transfer business to cater for your needs while you are at your property.  We will keep clients informed through our social networking and website.

Pac4Portugal Striving forward

Pac4Portugal.com has been evolving over the last couple of months; many of you will know we like to be proactive.  We have just launched our first version of a smart phone friendly website and it is being received well.  In addition we have successfully partnered up with an Algarvian business to start launching Pac4Portugal branded property management services; this is a natural progression for our business to help deliver service.  Furthermore, we can offer new build projects for those looking to have their very own second home/rental investment.  If you are looking to buy a property already constructed or would like to source land and build then contact us with your requirements.

And Finally

Believe it or not enquiries and bookings for 2016 have already started.  But before 2016, we are looking forward to 2015 season and meeting both our repeat clients and our new clients.

Refreshing the old, Villa in Carvoeiro still lives

Pac4Portugal|Carvoeiro

A long long long time ago, well actually only 9 years our business started with the simple Frontpage website www.villa-in-carvoeiro.com (VIC).  Our vision was to have all the information about a property on one simple page and to always deliver “Personal Service, Local Knowledge”.  We just hated booking holidays with a company and you know that they are just reading from a brochure.  It has and never will be a search website as we offer clients a more personal service.  If you let us know your requirements, we can then point you in the right direction.

We also wanted to give clients a little information on the area, but not too much as the web has plenty of good places for this, in addition from time to time we would help promote local businesses who in turn promoted us.

Villa in Carvoeiro

In 2008, we became a Ltd and over the next few years evolved the websites and allowed clients to view more brochure style pictures through carvovillas.pacportugal.net and related websites.

In 2014 a star was born and we finally brought all the key elements of VIC to a new more professional website to meet the demand of owners and our clients- Pac4Portugal,com.  It also allowed us to start looking at the way Google SEO worked and spend time and effort promoting.  2015 is looking promising with some great ways forward as we expand within our own sector of knowledge.

Pac4Portugal the whole package
Pac4Portugal the whole package

Over the past week and the next few weeks villa-in-carvoeiro.com is have a refresh with improvements on the pictures, the social media and some of the links, plus a few things in the background.  With good google position and a google ranking VIC is here to stay.  Some people prefer it as they like the retro, but that doesnt mean we can not deliver service.  We have a good portfolio of websites and we do all the updates in house, so it can take time to keep them up to date.  But you can follow us on a whole range of Social Media.  So here’s to  VIC and long may you reign!
