Note on Nature and Climate: The climate in Portugal can be hot and humid at certain times of the year, which can encourage the occasional appearance of small insects (such as mosquitoes or ants). Although the building is brand new and we carry out regular pest control services, we cannot control nature or offer refunds for unexpected insect visits. We ask for our guests' cooperation to prevent these situations by keeping doors closed, storing food properly, and not letting trash accumulate in the apartment.

To ensure everyone has a memorable stay and that our space is well preserved, we kindly ask you to read and respect the following rules:

1. Check-in and Guest Support
- Self Check-in: The property allows self check-in for your total flexibility. However, please note that after 22:00 (10:00 PM), it is highly important to ensure silence upon arrival, and we cannot guarantee real-time support.
- In-Person Check-in: If you choose this option, you must provide your arrival time at least 48 hours in advance. The host will wait for up to 30 minutes past the agreed time; after this period, the host may leave, and a new appointment will be required subject to availability.

2. Check-out and Keys
- Punctuality: Compliance with the check-out time is essential to guarantee the necessary time for a rigorous cleaning of the apartment and to ensure a perfect welcome for the next guests. Failure to comply with the agreed time will result in a fee of €25 for each hour of delay.
- Keys and Remotes: In case of loss or failure to return the keys or the garage remote control, a €100 replacement fee will be charged.

3. Use of Space and Visitors
- Exclusivity: All apartment amenities are strictly for the guests registered in the booking. Visitors or undeclared additional guests are not allowed.
- TV / Digital Services: Subscribing to extra channels, movies, or packages not included in our standard TV package is strictly prohibited. If any subscription is made, the corresponding amount will be charged as an additional service.

4. Sustainability and Home Care
- Conscious Use: We promote the sustainable use of resources (water and electricity/air conditioning). Excessive consumption that clearly demonstrates waste may be charged separately.
- Cleaning and Trash: We kindly ask that you dispose of accumulated trash in the respective outdoor bins before checking out.

Our Best Advice: Please treat the house as if it were your own and leave the space organized, just as you found it.
