Little house by the lagoon

Small renovated house, 2 minutes walk from the water's edge of Lagoa de Albufeira, 10 minute walk to the beach, and a 40 minute drive to Lisbon (or a 20 minute drive to the train station).

This is the perfect place for quiet work and to be surrounded by nature. Listen to the owls hoot and the ocean roar as you sleep.

The house is half of a larger property but has its own entrance and garden gate, and it is fully independent. It has 2 bedrooms, one with a single bed, and another with a double bed, and an open plan living room with kitchenette. The space is bright and comfortable. It has a garden in front, with a small table and chairs. This garden is fenced from the next door's garden (which is mine), and protected from the street with a closed fence for privacy. Inside, the houses are separated by an inside door, which is always locked. The place is suited for two people; I will consider an additional person or child for short-term stays only.

I am quiet, friendly, and non-intrusive. I work in Lisbon part of the week and am in Lagoa the rest of the time.

This is mostly a residential neighbourhood; there a few cafes you can walk to, and a couple small and very limited grocery stores. There is a charming local market on the weekends, selling fruits, vegetables and bread. A five minute drive away, and you’ll be in Alfarim, where there are more shops (supermarkets, bakeries, butcher, fish shop, laundry, etc.), and a good offer of restaurants and cafes. Larger supermarkets are a 20 min drive away, outside Sesimbra.

Because of the location, and sparse public transportation offers, you would be limited here without a car.

This is a place for enjoying peace and quiet - there are no parties allowed and to ensure everyone’s rest, there is no noise after 11pm

Frequently asked questions for this offer

What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?

All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.

What is a medium-term rent?

The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.

Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.

How can I pay?

On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.

How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
