2026/27 LATEST : the 3 year old patio and balcony tiles are now being replaced AGAIN over the 26/27 winter due to poor quality installation : water leaks, lifting tiles, failing grout... yes, it hurts. We're also upgrading the roof terrace to match and completely repainting the villa in WHITE. It will look very different by Spring 2027 - book now to be one of the first to see the new and improved Casa Hugo!
MAJOR work completed...
2024 - The patio has been extended and retiled in super-modern 80x80 off-white non-slip porcelain tiles with matching steps. More sunbed space, more contemporary, more 5 star Algarve! Think modern Miami vibes. It looks AWESOME! (well, it did until it rained - see above!)
2024 - All internal ground & first floors have been retiled in a satin version of the same large format tiles as outside. All bathrooms have been upgraded with new tiles, taps, showers, sanitaryware and more. The kitchen is staying... for now...
2024 - We have now replaced most of our windows/patio doors with new thicker and much more efficient aluminium frames. Bedrooms will be much quieter and the aircon will use less energy. Our brilliant electric blackout shutters remain!
2025 - Our roof has been completely repointed, along with extra downpipes for when it rains (yes, we're almost unique in the Algarve : we have gutters!!).
2025 - A shadesail replaced the pergola to keep your parked car cool throughout the day
2026 - The lawn was reseeded, deweeded, levelled, extra irrigation installed, and generally made more lush and green
2026 - We upgraded the dining table and chairs in the conservatory to make space for cupboard storage and a two seat sofa - the best place for a quiet read if the lounge, basement and roof terrace are already taken
2022 - The pool was completely retiled and rebuilt, with iridescent Ezarri Ocean mosiac pool tiles, superwhite hybrid resin grout, custom granite edgings, new filter, clever dosing equipment and a change from sand to glass filter media. It's just stunning, with the Algarve sunshine lighting the tiles up like they're coated in glitter.
