Note: security deposit and taxes paid by credit card, plus a 3% surcharge applied.
CANCELLATION POLICY

HABITABILITY
If property is rendered uninhabitable after your arrival, we will make best efforts to find you a similar accommodation. If that is not possible, we will refund the cost of the days that you were not able to occupy the property. If the apartment is uninhabitable prior to your arrival, we will assist you in booking alternative properties. We will be responsible for the amounts that you actually paid us.
CHECK IN ONLINE REGISTRATION
The Portuguese Foreigners and Borders service (SEF) requires that all travelers provide personal information when sojourning in Portugal. You must provide that information no later than the day of check in. The property cannot host guests without complying with this legal requirement. Before the guest's arrival, Online Check-in registration (SEF) will be requested by email or other electronic means for all guests who will stay in the unit during the period of their stay, including children and babies.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
The property requires a security deposit for all rentals, to be used in case of damage, smoking or disturbances. If there is damage and it exceeds the deposit, we will use all legal means to recover the damages. The theft will be reported to the authorities in Portugal and your country of origin. The cost of your stay does NOT include the deposit. The deposit will not be applied to payment for optional services. AirBnb and Tripadvisor manage the security deposit for your reservations. For all other bookings, the damage deposit/security deposit is paid by you via your personalized booking page/app and takes the form of a pre-authorisation which expires 7 days after the transaction date. If your departure date is 6 days or less from the transaction date, we may cancel the pre-authorization after apartment verification or let it expire. Pre-authorization cancellation or expiration - will not result in your card being charged or refunded (i.e. you will not see this on your credit card statement). If your departure occurs more than 6 days after the security deposit has been paid, we will convert the pre-authorization to a regular charge. In this case, the amount will be refunded after checking and completing the cleaning of the property upon departure. It may take up to 7 days to be credited to your account, depending on the bank/card. In this case, you will see a charge and then a refund. If the damage deposit is pre-authorized through a physical terminal upon arrival, the refund may take 3-4 weeks depending on your card and country of issue.
