JoostDirector of Property Sales
Joost’s expertise within the high-
end real estate market and holiday
industry is matched only by his
passion for the Algarve. It’s been
his home, on and off, for the last
23 years, meaning he’s practically a
local. His Dutch roots and love of
languages ensure an active interest
in world travel, while sporting
interests mould perfectly into his
current location, as activities such
as kite surfing, tennis and in
particular golf find their perfect
expression in Quinta do Lago.

Travel and foreign destinations
came very naturally to Maria
Chapman, working in the UK for
several years for a tour operator
before heading overseas. Maria has
lived and worked in the Algarve
for 20 years now, using her skills in
tourism and sales to great effect.
Maria believes she found her true
vocation five years ago, when she
made the highly successful switch
to villa management and property
rentals.
Few can boast such a loyal
relationship with a destination as
Madalena Bota, who has worked
in Quinta do Lago in one form or
another since 1985. Her intimate
knowledge of the resort and her
obvious admiration for it has been
used to the full since she joined
the property management and
rentals team. Madalena is a natural
born communicator and can think
of nothing better than meeting
people and fulfilling their every
property need.
Former golf pro and golf academy
operator, Jamie Robinson was
naturally attracted to the Algarve,
Europe’s top golf destination.
Having arrived in the region 18
years ago, Jamie has built a career,
a family and a life here. Following
his golfer’s instinct, Quinta do Lago
was never far off the radar, with
Jamie homing in on its real estate
excellence six years ago. His
experience and perspective of the
local real estate market ensure a
balanced view of investment
possibilities.

Welcome to the second edition of The Quinta do Lago Collection, the
quintessential guide to real estate in Quinta do Lago, showing you what it
could be like to be part of the Algarve’s leading luxury resort. Serving as a
well-informed introduction to the resort’s property portfolio, this
publication is also designed to showcase the other charms that Quinta do
Lago, enjoying its 40th anniversary this year, has to offer including its
spectacular setting and lifestyle benefits.
Thanks to the resort’s continuing quality Quinta do Lago has coped admirably
well during the trying times presented by the current economic. There have
been only marginal changes to property prices and plot prices have remained
steady. Our portfolio has expanded to include properties ranging in price from
€250k to €10mn, while San Lorenzo North, with its exceptional location and
investment potential, proves an obvious attraction. The Quinta do Lago Real
Estate Team has further plans to meet the challenges of 2012. We are expanding
into many of the new emerging markets throughout the world including Russia,
South America and Angola, and we have concentrated our strategic efforts in
the Netherlands and Germany. Our recent partnership with Knight Frank
International for the sale of San Lorenzo North plots ensures every effort is
being made to make San Lorenzo North a finished community in no time.
Open since summer 2011, our new sales office, just off Roundabout 2, with its
comfortable, contemporary setting, is ideal to welcome our clients. This modern
facility is also home to our villa management and property rentals, combining all
our real estate services in one building. Alongside, you can find a new deli bar
and a soon-to-open hairdressers & beautician’s, joining the gym, physiotherapist
and Carly Ann Interiors. There have been great changes in the resort last year,
highlighting that Quinta do Lago is constantly changing and developing. The new
Paul McGinley Teaching Academy makes the perfect complement for the three
championship courses and the TaylorMade Fitting Centre adds yet another facet,
positioning Quinta do Lago as the leading practice facility in Europe. All outlets in
the Real Estate Centre at Roundabout 2 will be up and running by mid-spring,
and once again this year will see an array of events guaranteeing yet another
busy summer in Quinta do Lago.
Myself, Jamie, Maria and Madelena are always here at the Real Estate Centre to
discuss any purchase, rental or property management issue you may have, or if
you simply want more information on the Quinta do Lago landscape – we can
also be of assistance. We hope you enjoy the second edition of the Quinta
Collection and we look forward to introducing you to your new property soon.

Some of the Properties that have
been aquired recently.
As if always meant to be, Quinta do Lago merges effortlessly with its
natural surroundings, benefiting from one of Europe’s finest locations and
treating it with the respect it deserves. Low-impact, luxury residential
and leisure areas quietly develop through a unique coastal landscape,
embracing its protected status to form a resort that has become a
benchmark in how to successfully combine luxury living with nature.
The wetland scenery of lakes and lagoons, dunes and marshland, of the
Ria Formosa Nature Park, a national haven for a wealth of flora and
fauna, blends subtly into the tended gardens and winding fairways of
Quinta do Lago.
The original master plan, upheld since the resort began in 1972, has
nature at its heart, with the concept of ensuring the ecological integrity
of this natural haven joined by the constant quest for the very best in
residential infrastructures and leisure facilities. The result is a low density
development unlike any other, with more than 70% green areas.
Four decades of careful development have forged the resort’s unique
geography throughout its 2000 acres. A series of residential areas, dotted
with a varied selection of properties, are interspersed by tourism
complexes and resort amenities, and interwoven with four championship
golf courses. The variety of property styles and settings means that
Quinta do Lago has many different faces, to meet individual lifestyle and
real estate requirements. Any security concerns are comprehensively
met by the resort’s own on-site security company.
RESORT OVERVIEW
The resort’s versatility can be proved by its ability to offer privileged
seclusion and privacy, while at the same time fostering a real sense of
community. World class, cosmopolitan surroundings offer a place to
retreat in style or equally to share and interact with other property
owners.
The Quinta do Lago experience is impossible to replicate. As soon as
you pass the first of the resort’s roundabouts you enter a world apart.
Large enough to get lost in but small enough to feel reassuringly
familiar, Quinta do Lago welcomes its visitors and residents with
candour and charm. The soft call of birdsong and the distant rush of
crashing waves provide an infectious soundtrack to moments on the
golf course; to moments spent strolling down coastal paths, or cycling
through pine groves, past lagoons and lakes. The feel of sand between
your toes, of the Atlantic kissing your feet, before settling down to a
delicious lunch of freshly caught fish, the Ria Formosa wetlands
stretching out before you. The invigorating pleasure of meeting friends
on the tennis court, at the driving range or in a bustling café. Romantic
moments over a candlelit dinner for two, planning your next day in this
exclusive world known as Quinta do Lago...

Surprisingly large and surprisingly varied, Quinta do Lago’s 40 years of
strategic planning has produced a special layout, where separate
neighbourhoods, each blessed with its own set of qualities, combine to
form the community as a whole. No matter where the individual zones
are located within the resort, or what style of property they contain,
they all focus on one or more of Quinta do Lago’s spectacular features,
whether it’s the sea, golf courses, lakes, or pine forests.
From the positioning of the various building phases and amenity
clusters, right down to the location of each individual property, and
from the early 70s until to the present day, the resort’s planning has
been as meticulous as it is successful. Today there is still the
overwhelming feeling of space and large dimensions, with wide avenues,
large open spaces and generous individual property plots.
Quinta do Lago’s geography develops from North to South along the
central axis of the ‘Avenida André Jordan’ and its numbered
roundabouts. Between roundabout 1 and 2, near the entrance to the
resort, the Zona Noroeste occupies the North Eastern sector of the
resort, just south of Quinta Shopping. Featuring mature plots, this is a
quiet, secluded corner of the resort, with convenient access to the
nearby shopping centre. The majority of plots back on to the fairways
of Quinta do Lago North golf course. Pinheiros Um enjoys the same
benefits, this time on the other side of the 9th and 10th holes.
Completing this quiet part of the resort, the properties of Golfe
Norte, which flank the 5th hole of Quinta do Lago South course.
Roundabout 2 is also home to the new complex housing Quinta do
Lago Real Estate, the Active Q Gym, a deli bar, a hairdressers &
beauticians and an interior design outlet. Cross the Avenida André
Jordan, following the golf course layout we find the same feeling of calm
and seclusion in the zones of Cávado and Gondra.
A number of resort zones radiate out of the popular central area
surrounding roundabouts 3 and 4, generally positioned around the
fairways of both Quinta do Lago North and South. The facilities located
in this part of the resort, including the golf clubs, tennis club, driving
range, post office, bank, Koko Lane Café and much more, combined
with the central location, make property hunting in this area
particularly alluring. Featuring some of the resort’s most mature areas,
zones here include: Golf Poente; Monte do Lago; Planalto; Golfe; Golfe
Leste; and Monte Golfe. Equally central, the recently released zone of
Encosta Poente, on the far west of the resort, is mirrored on the far
east with one of the last zones yet to be released, Ria Formosa, which
is surrounded by five holes of the South golf course.
Water plays as much a role as golf in the areas below roundabout 5.
Reflected in the name of the resort, where ‘Lago’ translates to “Lake”,
the main lake area, with stunning views over the water to the lagoon
beyond and eventually to the sea, is one of Quinta do Lago’s most
exclusive locations. Close to the Ria Formosa and the beach, and
served by the water sports centre and the Casa do Lago restaurant,
properties here are high on the list of resort favourites. Zones located
around the lake include Lago, Beira Lago, and at the lake’s southern end,
Palmeiras.
The smaller zone of Atlântico Sul, between the Quinta do Lago Hotel
and the beautiful lagoon of the Ria Formosa Nature Park, features
seafront properties with spectacular views, ideally placed to take full
advantage of the Atlantic’s presence. A short walk across the wooden
bridge nearby, across the lagoon and you reach Quinta do Lago’s vast
stretch of sandy beach.
Inside or on the edge of the front nine and back nine of San Lorenzo
Golf Course, one of Europe’s finest golf challenges, the remaining
resort zones have a choice of attractions, both sporting and natural. As
the course works its way down to the lagoon, taking in some of
Europe’s finest golf holes, the prime golf front properties of Atlântico
follow it, enjoying some of the resort’s best sea views. To the north,
Atlântico Norte properties hug the manicured fairways of San Lorenzo,
while to the south, watching over the final six holes of the course, São
Lourenço occupies the secluded South Eastern tip of the resort. And
finally, just above, and right in the middle of the San Lorenzo layout, the
21st and most recently released of zones, San Lorenzo North, with its
large, excellently located plots, some of which are still available for
purchase.

IN HOUSE SERVICE
Settling for the best and nothing but the best is a philosophy that is easy to
follow at Quinta do Lago, running right through the property purchase process
and far beyond, whatever your plans.
The beauty of dealing directly with the resort from the very outset is not only
the ease, but also the peace of mind it brings you. Who else is better equipped
to deal with Quinta do Lago issues than the resort itself? Who understands the
market better? Who understands the holiday letting and property management
better? Who is better placed to take care of you and your home, when
discussing landscaping, technical, infrastructural and security matters?
With everything covered ‘under the same roof ’, buying into the Quinta do Lago
lifestyle couldn’t be simpler.
Real estate agencies come and go, their business founded on the whims of the
market and the luck of the draw. This certainly cannot be said of Quinta do
Lago Real Estate, a key element of the resort ever since it was opened almost
40 years ago.
As the first port of call and the initial contact in any relationship with the resort,
the Quinta do Lago real estate sales department is the obvious choice, with
experience of the resort that no other agency could ever hope to claim.
Walking hand in hand with Quinta do Lago as it has developed, taking its cue
from the resort’s philosophy for excellence and professionalism, this in house
sales organisation intimately reflects the Quinta do Lago ethos, acting as a
reliable and public extension of it. And, of course, in any close relationship, there
are always knock-on benefits. Benefits that we like to pass on to our clients. As
the resort’s official real estate office, our books contain properties unavailable
anywhere else. And, unlike other agencies, we enjoy the support of other
departments in the resort, benefitting from their technical, legal, infrastructural
and landscaping expertise.
The smooth flowing of any real estate procedure is thus ensured, with clients
enjoying a hassle-free experience from start to finish. Interestingly, the greatest
problem clients face is choosing which stunning property they would like to buy.
Our rich and varied portfolio features everything a potential buyer would
expect of Quinta do Lago. Suiting a surprisingly broad range of budgets,
properties include anything from apartments, perfect for hassle free holidays, to
the epitome of luxury resort living, with the ultimate in high-end villa properties,
enjoying stunning views and surroundings. Our listings also feature recently
released plots to build, where a choice of options allow you to create your
dream property from scratch.

The new building, now constructed on the edge of roundabout two, marks the
beginning of a new era for the sales department, offering the sales team an
inspiring base from which to work and presenting clients with an exciting new
face to the resort.
Our new home will no doubt bring continuity to the excellent rapport we
enjoy with our clients, where the professionalism conveyed throughout the
transaction often matures into a relationship based on trust and genuine
friendship. Indeed, the after-sales period in our organisation is often the most
fruitful for our clients, finding in our department, and the many departments we
work with, the expertise and support they need to enjoy their Quinta do Lago
property to the full.
With the property purchase behind you, if you’re not looking to use your new
property as a permanent residence, you may be interested in benefitting from
your latest investment in other ways. The holiday rental market in Quinta do
Lago is an attractive prospect for property owners, given the exclusive appeal
of the resort, its international reputation and the resulting potential for possible
clients.
Working harmoniously alongside the real estate sales and property
management departments, Quinta do Lago’s rental department has long
provided the vital link between property owners and holidaymakers, ensuring
the very best outcome for both parties.
For property owners, this means having a trusted and experienced partner,
with the right client portfolio to ensure the occupation of your property, while
on hand to deal with any guest requirement or possible property issue during
the rental periods.
For holidaymakers, this means having access to the largest rental portfolio in the
area, with property types ranging from two-bedroom apartments all the way
up to 10-bedroom mansions. As these are all Quinta do Lago properties,
holidaymakers can be certain of the very height in service excellence, with
friendly experienced staff always available to fulfil client requirements during
their stay and, as an added convenience, able to provide a range of additional
services, such as car, bike or boat hire, and arranging excursions or golf.

Falling neatly into the category of premium after sales service, the Quinta do
Lago property management department is often the logical second step for
brand new property owners. Having enjoyed an impeccable sales transaction,
the trust built up in the sales team is easily transferable to the property
management team, with whom they work very closely. Mastering the same
experience and expertise as their colleagues, the property management team
has built up a very solid reputation over the years, ensuring the perfect running
order of the properties they manage, while leaving owners confident that their
homes are in safe hands.
With the resort’s many departments at our disposal, every facet of property
management is quickly and efficiently dealt with, from simple tasks like garden
and pool upkeep, or mundane tasks such as the paying of invoices and bills on
the property, to the skilled task of keeping every aspect of the property in
perfect condition, ready for the owner’s arrival at any moment. And when the
client is in residence, we’re ready to meet any additional management needs
that may arise.
Given the excellent relationship we build up with our clients and their
continued satisfaction, it’s no wonder that our client list is continually on the
rise.
Take a look at the wonderful displays of flowers and greenery as you pass
through the resort, the expertly tended borders, the precisely cut lawns, the
seasonal colour. This is testament to the unwavering efforts of the Quinta do
Lago landscaping team and their dedication to creating the perfect appearance
the resort has long been known for.
To match this long perfected skill and complement the resort’s range of
services, Q Landscape has recently been launched to bring the same quality
direct to property owners. Taking advantage of years of experience, combined
with support from the resort’s technical department, Q Landscape, headed by
Conor O’Neill, possesses all the local knowhow it needs to create the very best
in garden design. Landscaping projects are an essential part of property
development and ownership, with owners eager to make their mark with
beautiful outdoor surroundings to match incredible interiors.

A cornerstone to the resort’s development over the years, working closely with
all its departments, the Quinta do Lago technical department offers a guiding
hand for property owners, while ensuring the structured planning of the resort
as a whole. The technical department has been part of the resort from the
very beginning, developing the expertise it needs to direct and coordinate
planning in Quinta do Lago. Liaising with local council authorities with regard to
planning regulations, the technical department is well versed in planning matters
and able to advise on how best to deal with property issues as they arise. One
such issue is the ‘adopted land’ option for plots in the resort, with the technical
department, aided by Infraquinta, able to determine just how plot owners can
use this extra land.
Ensuring the continued quality and the sound management of the urban area
and public infrastructures in Quinta do Lago, Infraquinta is a municipal company,
part owned by Quinta do Lago and part by Loulé Municipal Council.
Infraquinta is responsible for maintaining and running the infrastructure
network, ensuring the preservation of the resort’s urban quality. The areas it
covers include the water supply and sewerage systems, public lighting,
communal green areas, and waste collection.
Quinta do Lago is an exclusive, luxury development, where residents and
holidaymakers enjoy an atmosphere of unblemished safety and security.
Working behind the scenes, while nonetheless ensuring a visible presence,
Vigiquinta helps uphold this secure setting, allowing residents and users to rest
at ease with regard to the safety of their property and their personal safety.
365 days a year, 24 hours a day, the Vigiquinta security service combines
electronic equipment and human vigilance, including visible security patrols, to
protect Quinta do Lago, its residents, its visitors and its staff.

Now that you’ve taken time to look through this issue of Quinta do

search. The current market is an appealing one on many levels. Pricing
has been brought neatly into line, while property owners are now
more open to sensible offers. With cash-rich buyers out there and a
market that appears to be levelling out, now is the time for deals to be
made. This is further aided by the selection of properties within our
portfolio, which is varied and plentiful. And with the market poised to
head towards positive movement, and more plots being released in San
Lorenzo North this year, buying in Quinta do Lago couldn’t be more
attractive.
Investing in one of Europe’s most exclusive postcodes, where natural
beauty is matched only by investment confidence, makes more sense
than ever.
