The following information will help you understand what to expect during your stay at our self-catering condominium apartment. Thank you for respecting these property rules which are intended to make your stay more enjoyable. Access to Grounds: Guests listed on the booking form have free use of the pools and may book the tennis courts for a fee. Additional Bedding: If required, please bring your own waterproof mattress covers for the beds. Air Conditioner/Heater: Combined units are available for your usage. This is in addition to our gas fireplace. Caution: Electricity in Portugal is incredibly expensive as compared to many other countries, so we are careful with our consumption. Please be sensitive with your usage to avoid exceeding the base electricity fee built into your apartment rental rates. Please remember to turn off the Air Conditioner / Heater before you leave the apartment each day, for both safety reasons and to minimize excess charges. Closing the room doors keeps the heat in and warms up the room quickly. Beach Towels: Bring own beach towels with you as they are not provided. Breakages & Damages: Any breakages or damages are the responsibility of the occupant and will be deducted from the security deposit. Please ensure that any breakages or damages are reported to our property manager as soon as they occur so that they can be resolved for the next guest. For hygiene reasons, a wet bed will result in your being charged for a new mattress. Check-in / Check-out Times: Check-in - 2:00 pm. Check-out - 10:00 am. This allows time to properly clean your apartment. Cleaning: The apartment and its contents must be left clean and tidy at the end of the rental period (e.g. dishes washed, all garbage removed). Any excess cleaning charges will be deducted from the security deposit. Fireplace: Gas Fireplace, in the livingroom, is available for your usage and is wonderful in the cooler months. Excess charges will apply with regular use of the Gas Fireplace. Please remember to turn off the Gas Fireplace before you leave the apartment each day, for both safety reasons and to minimize excess charges. Closing the livingroom doors keeps the heat in and warms up the room quickly. When room is warm, re-open doors for ventilation. Garbage/Rubbish Important: Please remember to take the garbage out daily to avoid ants and bad odours. The nearest garbage bin is 50 meters away from the apartment building. As you leave our apartment building, you can see it on your left at the very end of the parking area! It is a bit of an unusual process in Portugal, where each family is responsible for taking their own garbage out to the Large Plastic Outdoor Garbage Bin, very near to the apartment. As a routine, we tend to take the garbage with us each morning as we head out for the day. We toss the garbage into the outdoor garbage bin that we happen to pass on a particular street along the way. In Case of Problem(s): We fully expect you to be very happy with the accommodation and amenities provided. However, if you encounter any difficulties during your stay, please contact our property manager immediately so that a resolution can be found. We will provide you the contact info for our property manager with your final booking package. Insurance: Travel Insurance is compulsory under EC Law. All occupants are responsible for ensuring that they have adequate Travel Insurance and a 24 hour emergency telephone number. The use of the accommodation and amenities are offered on the condition that they are used entirely at the occupant's own risk. We cannot accept responsibility for accidents, injuries, illness, death or loss or damage to users' or visitors' property or belongings, including motor vehicles, however caused. Keys: Keys are provided by our property manager upon your arrival at the apartment. We request your Lagos arrival details and set an arrival time for our property manager to meet you in front of the apartment. Maid Service: Maid Service is self-catering style. Bed linen and towels are changed weekly. Maids will arrive between 10:00am and 4:00pm. Maids will generally tidy the apartment. Maids will not wash dishes or take out the garbage, etc. Maids will always appreciate a tip. Noise: Our apartment is located in a family-oriented location offering privacy and tranquility. Therefore no loud partying is allowed, to respect the other guests. Your stay may be terminated if this condition is not met. Occupants: Strictly limited to those listed on the booking form. Maximum number of occupants is 4. No pets allowed. Admission will be refused or terminated if this condition is not met. Property Manager: Our property manager is a resident of Lagos. We will provide you the contact info for our property manager with your final booking package. Recycle Please: Lagos has a good recycling program for glass, plastic and paper products. We simply place these items in a separate bag and take them with us on our garbage run. Large Plastic Recycle Bins are located beside many (not all) of the garbage bins. Please look for them. There are three recycle bins for each of glass, plastics and paper products. The recycle bins are well marked with photos of what is allowed and disallowed in each recycle bin. Please be environmentally friendly and recycle! Rules of Property: The occupants agree to respect the property rules listed in this "On Arrival" section as well as those posted at poolside. These rules are intended to make your stay more enjoyable. Security: Please double-lock the front door when going out. Remember to bring the key with you when you leave. The door self-locks. Do not leave the key on the inside of the door when you go or you will be locked out. Self-catering: This accommodation is booked on a self-catering basis. You will need to provide your own groceries and household goods, e.g. soaps, shampoo, detergents, toilet paper, etc. You will also need to wash your dishes and take out your garbage. Slippers: All floors are tiled. Please bring slippers for your comfort and to minimize noise. Smoking: No smoking inside apartment. Please restrict smoking to the balconies (better views, anyway!). Damage from cigarette burns will be charged at full replacement cost. Suntan Oils / Creams: Please take care not to sit on apartment furniture and bedding when using these products. We appreciate your cooperation to maintain the high standard of the apartment for your next visit. Swimming Pool: Enjoy free use of the pools during summer months. Pools are open-air. Please do not use sunbed mattresses in the pools. Diving is strictly prohibited. Food and drink consumed at poolside must be purchased from the resort restaurant or snack bar. Tennis: Tennis courts at the Vilabranca complex may be booked from the Reception office, for a fee. There is also a tennis court just outside the Vilabranca complex (see our Activities Page). Utility Charges: Weekly rental rates include a standard amount of electricity and gas. Our property manager will check the electricity and gas meters before and after your stay. They will advise of any excess charges. Please note that excess charges will apply in the cooler months, with regular use of Air Conditioner / DA2er and Gas Fireplace and will be deducted from your security deposit. Refer to Bookings page for amounts included. Washing Machine: Usage for our High Efficiency Washer. Use only Liquid Laundry Soap (30ml). Powered laundry soap will block the drain pipes and may cause flooding. This is an occasional problem that may be triggered by clients using powdered laundry soap combined with the water calcifying. Please call our property manager if you notice any water leakage on use of the washing machine Water DA2er: Water is DA2ed by via a modern high quality water DA2er in our apartment. It runs on gas and is triggered by the water pressure. Turn the hot water tap on full until the water is hot. It takes a good 5 minutes, so please be patient. Then adjust the water to your desired temperature.
