Here at Ideal Homes we are expecting the 2021 summer to be a busy season as more holiday makers are likely to want to book luxury apartments and spacious villas.

 

Head of Ideal Homes Rentals, Megan Holland says: "We already have a lot of clients booked in who changed their dates from 2020 to 2021 and the concern was that they would need to push this even further back to 2022; so to see that the president has come up with a plan so early in the year could mean that we have a bumper year! We have 150 properties ready for holidays to the Algarve and now I think we will need another 70 to keep up with the demand."

 

Ideal Homes Rentals are an award winning company who puts their owners and holiday makers first, so if you're ready to book your 2021 holiday to the Algarve get in touch today.

 

Ideal Homes Rentals makes it easy for clients to buy and rent out Portugal properties for retirement income.
