Who We Are

Compass in Portugal has been organizing holidays in privately owned villas and apartments in the Algarve region of Portugal for almost 20 years. We offer a personal, individual and professional service supplying the type of holiday, which contrasts intentionally with the average package holidays offered by the large, impersonal tour operators.

We offer you, the independent traveller, a choice of houses; some situated away from the principal and busy resorts and others close to the beach and holiday facilities – though nowhere in the Algarve is too far away from the many glorious beaches and wonderful sights that this region has to offer.

You’ll have the choice of venturing out and about whenever you like and then escaping back to the peace and tranquillity of your holiday home.

Many of the houses in our programme are privately owned and are either the principal homes or holiday homes of the owners. Not all owners are English. There are of course English, but also German, Dutch, Finnish and of course Portuguese owners. Therefore the culture of the individual owner is often reflected in the décor of the house, as indeed are the amenities of the house.
