villa rental fees explained

 This page contains a very brief explainer on how villa rental works, and how to get the same holiday for less.

Holiday homes are generally managed by local property managers who take commission on bookings and charge the property owner a fixed amount per month. 

Property managers are the people you'll meet at the property and who will take care of you during your stay.

Casa Hugo is managed by simply the best Holiday Property Management company in the Western Algarve - Destination Algarve, based right here in Lagos. They deal with everything - our bookings, payments, meet and greet, housekeeping, security and everything to do with looking after you and our little slice of sunshine.

Destination Algarve advertise our villa on various 'portal' websites - AirBnB, VRBO, Booking.com and others, along with listing us on their own website which sometimes offers promotional prices too.

When you see rental prices on a portal website the portal has added their cut - an extra 15% is not uncommon.

So... pick your dates and find us on one or two bookings websites - googling our internal DA code of RLAG95 will help find us on the portal sites... then try Destination Algarve's website with the same dates and compare prices.

Same holiday, same dates, same managers, sometimes as much as 25% cheaper during offer periods.

You can save hundreds, potentially even thousands on the cost of a booking. 

It's that simple. 

You can pick the same dates for the same property and get exactly the same local managers and service by going to Destination Algarve and booking direct. For your peace of mind Destination Algarve are I-PRAC members - check out below why this matters.
