Portugal's Algarve remains Europe's most consistently compelling second-home market — a combination of climate, food culture, infrastructure, and pricing that no other European coastal market can match at equivalent quality. But the market has matured: the easy golden-era buys are gone, and distinguishing genuine value from overpriced tourist product requires local knowledge that most buyers simply don't have.
This five-day tour is designed for buyers who want to understand the market properly before committing. Your guide is Catarina Ferreira of Lusitania Property Group, who has operated in the Algarve since 2008 and maintains relationships with the estate agents, notaries, and developers who bring genuinely underpriced property to the market. The tour covers Golden Visa-eligible assets, resale finds with renovation potential, and one off-plan project that HHT believes represents the best current new-build value in the western Algarve.
Catarina has been buying and selling property in the Algarve since 2008, having moved from Lisbon after seeing the post-crisis buying opportunity that many overlooked. Her firm now manages over 140 properties for international buyers, giving her a unique perspective on rental yields, maintenance costs, and management quality — the numbers behind the brochure photos. She is one of the Algarve's most trusted voices on Golden Visa structures for non-EU buyers.
