About

As a recent or even longer-term arrival in the Algarve, you may be enjoying the fantastic food, the friendly and helpful people and the incredible weather. You may also be feeling overwhelmed with some aspects of living here that you need to understand in order to enjoy life in the Algarve to its fullest. This is where Algarve Concept can help.

Algarve Concept is the brainchild of UK-born Natasha Jones Costa, who moved to Portugal at the young age of just 6 weeks! She understands that life in a new country, whilst exciting, can also be challenging. The idea of Algarve Concept came to Natasha a few years ago and remains close to her heart. She believes that life in the Algarve should be simple and enjoyable! Natasha is the friend you’ll want in your corner to help you surf successfully through life in the Algarve.

Algarve Concept offers a number of services that might be time-consuming and frustrating for non-Portuguese speaking residents. With over 20 years’ experience of property management and a wealth of local knowledge and contacts, Natasha is also fluent in Portuguese and English. In fact, conversations in her family constantly switch between these two languages!

Being totally bilingual (English mother & Portuguese father), Natasha also offers translation and interpreting services, a role she clearly loves, so much so that she is happy to provide that personal touch: anything from standing in line with you at the Finanças, Câmara, etc and completing paperwork, to accompanying you to medical appointments or helping to liaise with local businesses and authorities. Algarve Concept can be your ‘go to’ contact. With her extensive ‘black book’ of contacts, Algarve Concept takes the sting and the worry out of everyday problems. Sometimes quite unexpected problems.

For example, Natasha was invaluable in helping one set of customers find an emergency locksmith at short notice after locking themselves out of the villa.

Another client said “Whilst I am learning to speak Portuguese, I wasn’t confident to attend a meeting with the GNR. Fortunately, with Natasha at my side, we were able to smooth over anything I was unsure about”.
