Here is some client feedback
“What a star Natasha from Algarve Concept is. She has been involved in assisting me and my business partner who have owned a property in Luz since 2004. Honestly, I don't know how we would have managed without her helping us with her depth of knowledge of the area and experience in dealing with all types of people, and also in language skills, along being able to deal with the Finanças dept. We also benefitted from her being able to point us in the direction of excellent trades people who we benefitted from using, and TV aerial installers which helped enormously in the beginning. Very pleased that you are continuing to help us foreign owners. Thank you. Greg, Eileen, Bill and Melanie."

“We have known Natasha for 15 years during which time she has looked after our villa. She has many years' experience in this area and is completely au fait with every aspect. We have complete confidence in her skills, abilities and integrity.
Natasha is completely bilingual and is able to translate complex and often technical information when dealing with a range of service providers. She has an extensive network of maintenance personnel and is able to arrange repairs and replacements very quickly - which is so important, particularly when owners are not in permanent residence - or when guests are going to be in situ."

“Algarve Concept is owned and run by Natasha Jones Costa and we have known Natasha and used her services for several years. When we were buying our house here in the Algarve, Natasha was very happy to liaise with the local Estate Agencies to arrange viewings, and once we had made an offer on a property she was valuable in helping us open bank accounts, find a solicitor, get fiscal numbers and any number of other tasks that come up when buying a Portuguese property.
Since then, Natasha has acted as facilitator and/or project manager on a variety of building and development projects including replacing a bathroom and a large roof maintenance project that included the installation of a velux window.
Natasha has many years' experience of working in property and tourism related industries and has built up a vast array of reliable tradesmen and useful contacts in the Western Algarve. As someone who is completely bilingual in English and Portuguese (as well as speaking other European languages) she has efficiently sourced and managed interactions with local tradesmen and businesses that we would have found difficult.
Natasha has boundless enthusiasm and energy and somehow makes every project into an adventure!"

I have known Natasha professionally for around 15 + years. First when she was a manager of villas where I was the rental agent when I had my high end villa business in Portugal. More recently, when returning to one of those villas (not now commercially rented out) as a guest.
Natasha has some unique attributes.
1. Excellent at dealing with customers (paid rentals, villa owners or their personal guests). 2. Highly responsive and, indeed innovative, at dealing with the inevitable issues that arise in villas/apartments when not 100 pc lived in. 3. Diligence in terms of looking after homes and paperwork in terms of bills, highlighting maintenance issues etc (which is just what a home owner needs).
After all these years working with her I cannot recommend her highly enough to either owners who want peace of mind with their properties or anyone wanting her help dealing with anything from the local health centre to checking with the Camara on local matters. There are many who say they are bilingual (either English mother tongue with good English or vice versa with passable Portuguese). Natasha is rare. Her written and spoken communications are flawless between the two languages. If my own second home wasn't in Spain I would employ Natasha to look after it like a shot.

"Natasha has taken care of my apartment since 2020 and she has never disappointed me. She takes great care to not only look after the apartment with airing and making sure the water runs etc. but also organizing builders, cleaners, painters, and everything else you might need.
I find her very easy to approach and I never hesitate to ask for her help. She is courteous, honest and fun to deal with. It is remarkable how many things she has already solved for me.
Natasha speaks fluent Portuguese and English. She has helped me with government issues which I would not so easily have accomplished without her.
I fully recommend her to anybody who is looking for a person to manage an apartment or house. You will not be disappointed!"

"Finding Natasha has been a life saver! Natasha has been doing a variety of tasks for me over the past few months including general admin, dealing with vendors, translations and communicating with the Câmara and other government entities. Every task was handled quickly and professionally - she kept me informed throughout with regard to the progress of tasks and took things, ran with them and delivered. I had a backlog of tasks that were primarily dealing with the Câmara, EDP, etc, that I had put off due to the bureaucracy and also my lack of Portuguese. Thanks to Natasha, I quickly had electricity installed and my borehole license sorted. She has completed numerous other tasks and has also recommended reputable vendors in the area, and will also work with them on projects. Natasha will definitely be an ongoing part of my day-to-day life and I cannot recommend her enough."

"I would highly recommend Algarve Concept, having known Natasha now for several years.
Natasha is very organised and fantastic when it comes to managing projects and getting things done to an extremely high standard.
She is well connected, an absolute pleasure to work with and has helped me with various different matters over the years during my visits to the Algarve!"
