Each cottage is equipped with air conditioning. Please use it when you are in your holiday accommodation.

Due to drought, there is a water shortage in the Algarve during the summer. It would be appreciated if you could take this into consideration.

Keep doors and windows closed during the day, curtains open, and let the sun's warmth enter!

Portugal, and especially the countryside, is one of the safest countries to live in.

For safety reasons, there is an electric cover on the swimming pool. If children are staying in Casa Pauline, we will keep the cover closed as a precaution unless we are present.

Children without a swimming certificate must wear armbands around and in the pool.

For safety and peace, children may only use the shared pool with their parents.

If you are expecting visitors during your stay, please let us know in advance via our shared WhatsApp group.

Minor maintenance in the accommodation may sometimes be necessary. This will be done as much as possible while you are away. We will inform you in the group app unless it is an emergency.

Our Guesthouse is located in the middle of nature, which is important to keep in mind.

In Portugal, it is forbidden, especially during the summer months, to light a fire due to the drought.
