Casas da Cabreira - The way we work

The booking

To book one of our properties simply send us an e-mail (or fax) with the following details:

Your full name, address and telephone number (preferably mobile so we can contact you here if necessary);
The name of the property of your choice;
The period (date of arrival and date of departure);
The number of people and, if applicable, the number of rooms;
Additional information, such as the use of a cot.

We will send you thereupon by e-mail a confirmation with directions for payment. At request we will send you a written confirmation by mail as well.

The deposit

For payments in £ from the UK we hold a Sterling account with a UK bank. Payments from other countries can be made in Euros, either by international transfer or by international money order. You can also pay by credit card or with Paypal, in which case we will make a 2% charge as a contribution to the costs incurred.
As soon as we receive your down payment, we will send you a confirmation by e-mail, including detailed directions to the property.

The balance

As soon as we receive the balance of the payment, we will send you a confirmation by e-mail. In this message we will ask you to let us know - not later than 2 days in advance - the time of arrival, so we or the owner can be on time to welcome you and hand over the keys.
In some cases, depending on the property, we will also send practical information and tourist information on the house and its surroundings. Like the directions, this information is a simple html file (Internet page), that can be viewed or printed with any webbrowser such as Internet Explorer or FireFox.

The day of your arrival

On the day of your arrival we or the owner will be at the property at the time you agreed upon. If you expect to arrive later, for instance because your flight is delayed, please let us know as soon as possible.
If we ourselves cannot be at the property on the day or time of your arrival, we will try to come by one of the following days. Of course you won't need to stay in, waiting for us, so if we don't meet and you do have questions, don't hesitate to call us.

Information on shops, restaurants, sight seeing...

For all our properties detailed information is available on shops, restaurants, wine, sight seeing, but also on hospitals, pharmacies, banks, etc. In some cases you will find the information in the house, in other cases we will send it to you together with the confirmation of the payment of the balance.

Afterwards: your opinion?
