About us

In love with homes and with people.

east ALgarve guest is a boutique holiday rental management company, based in Tavira and dedicated to selected properties in the eastern Algarve. We were born of two passions: houses and people.

It all began with our own holiday home, 300 km away. A house that stays closed most of the year becomes a cost instead of an investment with returns. That is how we fell in love with Tavira. So much that we packed our bags and moved here for good.

“We believe a stay can be much more than a good night's sleep: it can be the beginning of a new story with the house and with the region.”
Rita Lemos de Gusmão, fundadora da east ALgarve guest
