Anything we should know

Optional. Whatever you tell us here is answered in our first reply, rather than writing back to ask.

Where to reach you

Either one is enough. We reply to whichever you leave.

Leaving your details is your approval to share them with the portfolio or owner that holds the villa, once you confirm you want to go ahead. Nobody else, and no mailing list.

Referred by a club, a coach or a content creator

Optional. We tell them their introduction arrived, and when it becomes a booking they share in it.

Why there is no cookie banner

This site sets no cookies, so there is nothing on your device to agree to and nothing to close. Visits are counted twice, anonymously, in a way that writes nothing to your device and cannot follow you. All of it is on the privacy page, which opens in its own tab so nothing you have written here is lost.

The practical questions about Villa Quail

Why book through you?

The villas are looked after by people who are particular about who they work with, and they work with us. That takes time to earn and it is why this collection grows slowly, a villa at a time.

You pay the villa's own rate, and the week costs no more for our being in it: our commission comes out of what the villa already charges. The Concierge, Driver, Chef and Coach are quoted alongside it as one price, and we are on call for them all week. Every enquiry comes to us, so the person who answers is the person who arranges it.

Is there a security deposit at Villa Quail?

€6,000 for the week, taken by bank transfer and held by the villa's management company. It is due 45 days before you check in, not at the time of booking. It is returned within 72 hours after checkout once the villa has been looked over.

When do we arrive, and can we book a shorter stay?

Any day, minimum 7 nights. Tell us your dates and we will confirm with the villa.

Which airport do we fly into for Villa Quail?

Lisbon (LIS), about an hour away by road. Add the Driver and you are met at arrivals and driven in.

What comes with the villa, and what can I add at Villa Quail?

The whole villa, yours alone, 6 suites for 12. Add the concierge, a driver, a chef and a coach and we plan the week and come back with one price.

What is added to the rate at Villa Quail?

€11,730 for a shoulder week with the clean in it: €1,640 a night, €11,480 for the seven, then a final clean at €250 a booking. A peak week comes to €15,510 on the same lines: €15,260 for the seven, and the same €250 clean on top. They are the villa's own, not ours, and every line is on your quote before you sign. The Concierge, Driver, Chef and Coach sit outside it, and we quote those with the week.

Checked 8 September 2026

When do I pay for Villa Quail, and what if we have to cancel?

50% of the week and the cleaning confirm the booking, and the balance is due 45 days before you arrive. Booked inside 45 days, it is the whole amount at once. Cancelling costs 50% of the rent, whenever you cancel, and 100% of it inside 6 weeks of check-in. A no-show is charged at 100%.
