WELCOME INFORMATION:
Before you arrive, Smartavillas will send you a welcome email including key collection details, travel directions and other useful information to assist your arrival and check in.

TOURIST TAXES & PASSPORT INFORMATION:
Some municipalities within the Eastern Algarve region have now introduced a Tourist Tax, where charges of around 1€ per person per night are applied to a maximum of 7 nights. This charge is levied by the Government, not Smartavillas. You will be informed in advance if you are required to pay this, which will be required in cash on arrival, with a receipt issued for payment confirmation. It is also a lawful requirement for all non-Portuguese nationals to provide us with passport details for data entry into the national immigration records.

SECURITY DEPOSIT AND DAMAGE WAIVER:
We are committed to protecting our properties which is why we've partnered with Know Your Guest (Superhog), the leading vacation rental guest-screening provider. Please note that before your booking begins, you will need to verify your details through Know Your Guest. You will also be given the choice between paying a refundable deposit or buying a non-refundable damage waiver. We suggest you buy the damage waiver as this protects you in case you cause accidental damage during a booking. The values for this property can be seen by clicking the “deposits and waivers” tab on the left-hand side of the property page near the description.
PRIVACY:
When booking private accommodation, we like to give you privacy during your stay. However, Smartavillas fully trained personnel are available 24 hours per day should you need assistance of any kind. We are only a phone call away. As this property has a shared pool, please remember that the local pool maintenance team will be accessing the condominium grounds to ensure that the communal facilities are kept to a high standard.

HOLIDAY GUIDE:
Smartavillas has a fantastic holiday guide packed with lots of information including points of local interest, activities, and restaurant recommendations. For your convenience, we will send you an electronic copy before arrival, and also provide a QR code in the villa.

ADDITIONAL CLEANING/SHEET CHANGE
As properties are rented on a self-catering arrangement, a daily maid and interim property cleaning service/linen change are not included in the price, but if required, can be provided for an additional charge. Further details available on request.

WE KINDLY REQUEST:
The house will be well presented for your arrival, and departure cleaning is included in the rental value. However, we do ask for a respectful co-operation with the removal of rubbish, and that BBQ facilities are cleaned of food and debris before you leave. Charges will be incurred if it is deemed that the property is left in an unacceptable condition.

DEPARTURE DAY:
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end! - and on departure day, check out time is requested at 10.00h. We will contact you towards the end of your stay to confirm this. We may be able to offer a later departure time only if there are no guests arriving on the same day. Unfortunately, however, this is unlikely in the summer months due to high volumes of reservations.
Set in the heart of traditional Tavira, the apartment offers easy access to the many attractions of this most charming town. Within walking distance, you will find an abundant and growing list of excellent eateries serving flavoursome dishes to suit all tastes. Wander through narrow, cobbled streets, enjoy resplendent gardens, meander through an old town rich in history, or simply enjoy a refreshment or two at one of the many cafés and bars. The colourful morning market is a must for foodies while a fun ferry trip takes visitors to the impressive ten-kilometre island beach where the clean waters of the Atlantic Ocean lap against golden dune backed sands. The local salt flats provide an important local industry and form part of the vast Ria Formosa Natural Park, an area of outstanding beauty, excellent for bird watching, walking and cycling.
ARRIVING AT THE PROPERTY:
It is our intention to meet you in person at the property on your arrival to deliver the keys and welcome you. Some of our properties have key safety boxes and you will be informed of the code in advance, in which case you may be asked to check in alone and we will make a later courtesy visit at a mutually convenient time.

CHECK-IN TIMES:
Please note check-in times are between 16.00h and 19.00h and we will try to be flexible with arrival times outside of these hours. For early arrivals, it may be possible to offer a “bag drop” facility. For later arrivals, there may be the key safety box facility. If not, and we are required to meet you in person for a late-night check in, the following fees will apply:
19.00 - 22.00h 15€
22.00h - 24.00h 20€
We will ensure that you are well-informed of the specific key collection details.
