7-day support and small repairs

One dedicated contact, immediate response to incidents, routine maintenance and small repairs tracked for you.

Long low-season stays

Negotiated rates for extended off-season stays: your property keeps earning from November to March.

Our offers

Rental management

We manage the listing, its distribution on booking platforms and calyferias.com, pricing, guest welcome, cleaning between stays and administrative follow-up. The commission of 25% excluding VAT is calculated on net nightly revenue, excluding platform commissions and cleaning fees, which are paid by guests. The contract is annual and renewable, and can be terminated with 3 months’ notice.

Maintenance & property checks

For second homes you are not yet ready to rent out, we carry out regular property checks, take meter readings and collect mail, with a photo report after each visit. We air and prepare the property before your stays, including cleaning and linen preparation for your arrival. This service is quoted individually, as a monthly package or an on-demand visit.

On-demand interventions

We meet tradespeople, supervise work and manage appointments on site when you cannot be there. Minor repairs are handled through our local network, and we offer deep cleaning at the start and end of the season, excluding garden and pool maintenance. Assistance is quoted per hour or per service, with travel included.

Monthly winter lets

In winter, we offer monthly lets for stays of 1 to 3 months. This option is particularly suited to remote workers and European retirees wishing to stay in the Algarve outside the summer season.

How it works

  1. A first conversation

    Let's talk about your property and your needs.

  2. Property assessment

    We visit and assess your property: we only manage properties that meet our requirements.

  3. AL licence

    The Alojamento Local licence is arranged through our partner lawyer.

  4. Complimentary photos

    Professional photos of your property are included free of charge.

  5. Listing your property

    Your property is made available to rent in around a fortnight.

Your stays

You are free to stay in low season, subject to availability. Between 15 June and 15 September, owner stays are limited to a maximum of 3 weeks, subject to availability. Owners do not block the calendar themselves.

What matters in this market

One region, several realities

Average rates in Vilamoura have nothing to do with Paderne. Each property gets its own grid, built on local data rather than a regional average.

Portuguese legal framework

The Alojamento Local licence application is made by a lawyer or a solicitador: we introduce you to our partner lawyer. Calyferias then handles tourist tax and AIMA guest registration.

A local team, not a call centre

Welcome and guest communication are handled from the Algarve in French, English and Portuguese. Cleaning is provided by a cleaning company and linen by a laundry service.

Practical local pointers

Guest emergencies at any hour

Someone responds to guests at any hour in an emergency.

Faro airport and guest welcome

Faro airport serves the whole region, reached via the A22 or the N125. We welcome guests in person, including for late arrivals and delayed flights.

AL licence and obligations

The Alojamento Local licence application is made by a lawyer or a solicitador: we introduce you to our partner lawyer. Calyferias then collects and declares the tourist tax and registers guests with AIMA (formerly SEF).

Cleaning and linen between stays

Cleaning is handled by a cleaning company and linen by a laundry service, so tight summer turnarounds are met. These services are paid for by guests.

Pool and garden

Pool and garden maintenance is not provided by Calyferias: it remains arranged by the owner, with their usual suppliers.

A pricing grid for each town

Each property gets its own grid, built on its town's data and adjusted for the period and the time of year, rather than a single year-round rate.

Property checks and minor repairs

Our network of tradespeople intervenes within 24 to 48 hours. Owner approval is required for costs above the agreed amount.

Seasonality and occupancy

The Algarve now trades well beyond summer: golf in autumn and spring, long winter stays, a family peak from July to September. Annual performance is won in the shoulder months — August fills anyway. We also offer monthly winter lets for stays of 1 to 3 months.
