Since 1982 — a home, not a hotel Originally acquired as a family residence, founder Claudia Jung began transforming the estate in 1982 into the discreet hideaway that it is today. Every detail still bears witness to her style and elegance. In 1991 Claudia brought in Austrian chef Dieter Koschina to Vila Joya. Together they set about raising the culinary standards of the Algarve, achieving their first Michelin star in 1995 and in 1999 their second. Since 2003, Claudia’s daughter Joy has managed Vila Joya.
