Holiday Rental Management in Sintra

About our service in Sintra

Getting guests into the property is half the job in Sintra. We agree a meeting point that exists in reality rather than on a map, guide people in over the phone when the road narrows and the signal drops, and hand over keys, gate remotes and alarm codes at the door. The walk-through covers the things these houses hide: the water cut-off, the fuse board in an outbuilding, the fireplace or wood burner and how it is meant to be used, the shutters that must be closed against the wind on the serra side. Guests without a car are told how the train from Lisbon and the local buses work, and where a taxi will and will not go. Damp is the recurring adversary. A house shut for a fortnight between bookings in a valley that holds mist will smell of it, and no amount of cleaning fixes a property that is not being ventilated. Between stays we open the house up, air the rooms and bedding, check walls, ceilings and the backs of wardrobes for mould, look at window seals and chimney flashings, and run dehumidifiers where you have them. Linen is stored dry and checked before it goes on a bed, because in Sintra linen that has sat in a closed cupboard is the single most common complaint. The rest is standard operational work done in awkward conditions. Cleaning and laundry are coordinated to your calendar, with the travel time between dispersed properties built into the plan rather than discovered on the day. Consumables are restocked and logged, inventories checked, and small repairs made on the round with anything larger photographed and quoted first. On the administrative side, your registo AL number belongs in the listing, guests must be able to reach the electronic complaints book, foreign guests' details are reported to the authorities, and some municípios apply a municipal tourist tax while others do not — these rules change, so check the position for Sintra with the câmara municipal.
