Hello, we are a german couple living in Portugal for over 10 years. We love this country and are happy to help you to do your first steps here and to provide you an amazing place to live. We selected our apartments and the surrounding carefully and can promise you therefore that it is a great spot to spend your time. Everything is close: the city, the beaches, parks, restaurants and shops. We equipped our apartment with tasteful furniture to give you the high standard of living which you deserve. Welcome to our wonderful apartments in Lisbon area!
This is hands down the best experience I've ever had renting a place from the owners. Beginning with my first message to Ursula to inquire about the rental, I knew this would be special. The flat itself is small but extremely well-designed and has everything one needs. But that's just the beginning. Ursula and Stefan are more than landlords, they are an extremely kind couple who take genuine interest in the welfare and happiness of their tenants and I now count them as friends.
The flat is located in the village of Murches, which is quiet and quaint and provides a serene home base. Cascais is a short bus or Uber ride away.
Neighborhood
Murches is very small and consists of a cafe (which is wonderful and inexpensive by US standards), a small grocery (with excellent produce and very friendly proprietors) a local bar and a hardware store. I've been here a month and never felt like I needed more because there are many large shops and supermarkets in Cascais.
There is a large park about a ten minute walk from the flat.
Recommended places nearby
Kandy, an Asian fusion restaurant within walking distance. The owner Mel and her staff will make you feel at home and the food is excellent.

Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.
Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.
All the properties listed on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and Wi-Fi included. In rare cases, a property may not offer Wi-Fi – this is always clearly stated on the listing page.
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the hosts offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
Für den Fall, dass Sie einziehen und die gemietete Unterkunft nicht mit den Angaben auf Flatio übereinstimmt, informieren Sie uns so schnell wie möglich!
Wenn die Bedingungen für den Rücktritt erfüllt sind und der Vermieter das Problem nicht sofort beheben kann, haben Sie die Möglichkeit, bei voller Rückerstattung vom Mietvertrag zurückzutreten. Außerdem helfen wir Ihnen aktiv bei der Suche nach einer alternativen Unterkunft und bleiben an Ihrer Seite, bis alles vollständig geklärt ist.
Die Bedingungen und alle Details zu unserer Einzugsgarantie können Sie unter in diesem Artikel unseres Help Centers nachlesen.
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.
Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
Your message has been sent! The host will get back to you soon.
Hauptprinzipien des mietvertrages Flatio
1
Transparency and simplicity. We are the only operator in the market to offer a single lease agreement for everything.
2
Wir garantieren Rechtssicherheit. Mietverträge stehen mit dem Recht des Landes, in dem Sie eine Miete über Flatio vereinbaren, im absoluten Einklang. Ganz egal, ob Sie dort einen Monat oder zwölf Monate wohnen.
3
Onlinevertrag in Ihrer Sprache. Dem Vertrag liegt die Sprache nach dem Mietort zugrunde; unsere Verträge sind jedoch stets auch ins Englische und die gängigsten Sprachen übersetzt. Die Unterzeichnung des Vertrages erfolgt ausschließlich online und somit kann er von überall auf der Welt abgeschlossen werden.
4
Wir garantieren eine vertrauenswürdige Präsentation der Wohnung. Bei Flatio können Sie sich darauf verlassen, dass die Wohnung tatsächlich so aussieht, wie sie präsentiert wird. Und wenn der Zustand der Wohnung mit dem im Angebot beschriebenen Zustand doch nicht übereinstimmt, dann zahlen wir Ihnen alles, die Miete sowie die Gebühren, zurück und dazu übernehmen wir für Sie Hotelkosten für 7 Tage.
5
Eine gemütliche Verlängerung. Möchten Sie länger in der Wohnung bleiben? Kein Problem. Hat der Besitzer die Wohnung für Sie frei, dann erfolgt die Verlängerung des Vertrages online. Genauso einfach ist die Kündigung des Vertrages mit einer Kündigungsfrist von 30 Tagen, die auch online erfolgt.
6
Alles in einem Preis. Die monatliche Miete schließt Dienstleistungen einschl. Internet und Energien ein und wird nicht berechnet, wenn sie 25 % der monatlichen Zahlung nicht überschreitet. Dadurch sparen Sie eine Menge Administrative bei der Wohnungsübergabe.
7
Stets nur 30 Tage im Voraus. Es spielt keine Rolle, ob Sie zu Beginn oder Mitte des Monats einziehen, die Miete wird stets für 30 Tage im Voraus gezahlt. Bei Flatio wird der „Monat“ immer durch Sie bestimmt und Sie müssen nicht mehrere Mieten gleichzeitig bezahlen.
9
Take photos of the apartment. We recommend that you take photos showing the current condition of the apartment on the first and the last day of the lease and send the pictures to us. The photos, along with a signed handover report, will be of great assistance when dealing with any unpleasant situations we hope will never occur.
Die vollständige Version des Mietvertrages können Sie hierlesen. Die konkrete Version des Mietvertrages direkt für Sie wird unverzüglich nach der Freigabe der Reservierung und der Ausfüllung Ihrer persönlichen Daten abgebildet.
Stay Benefits won’t apply - Coverage by deposit
For bookings of 180 days or longer, the host requires a refundable deposit.
Please note that the deposit is a full substitute for the Stay Benefits plan. Therefore, this plan that includes extra liability and assistance service insurance won’t be applied to this booking.
Nevertheless, rest assured that you will continue to be covered under our standard StayProtection package, only with the Stay Benefits excluded.
Average price
Since every host can set different rates for each month or even for specific dates, we display the average price you will pay per 30 days. You can view the complete payment schedule in the booking box of each listing detail - simply input the dates of your stay and the payment list will be calculated according to the host's settings.

Kaution
This is the total amount of the deposit to be paid by the start of the lease (usually the move-in day).
The required amount can be even zero!
In fact, Flatio hosts CANNOT require a deposit for
stays of less than 180 days (6 months). This is because we believe that all guests are responsible and caring people and only onboard hosts who share this attitude.
For longer stays, the host decides whether or not to require a deposit.
Betriebskosten und Internet
All utilities and internet are at Flatio always included. You don't pay any hidden fees.
Servicegebühr
This one-time fee helps to cover our operational costs. Thanks to the service fee, we can provide you with verified listings, StayProtection coverage, reliable customer support, and much more.
Make a booking with no obligations
With Flatio, you won’t have to pay anything until the host accepts your booking request and you decide to sign the lease agreement. So go ahead and make the booking request – it’s free!
Anteilige Miete
You are paying for the equivalent amount of days which were spent from a whole month (month = 30 days)
Alternative Accommodation
Für den Fall, dass Sie einziehen und die gemietete Unterkunft nicht mit den Angaben auf Flatio übereinstimmt, informieren Sie uns so schnell wie möglich!
Wenn die Bedingungen für den Rücktritt erfüllt sind und der Vermieter das Problem nicht sofort beheben kann, haben Sie die Möglichkeit, bei voller Rückerstattung vom Mietvertrag zurückzutreten. Außerdem helfen wir Ihnen aktiv bei der Suche nach einer alternativen Unterkunft und bleiben an Ihrer Seite, bis alles vollständig geklärt ist.
Die Bedingungen und alle Details zu unserer Einzugsgarantie können Sie unter in diesem Artikel unseres Help Centers nachlesen.

If you cancel your booking up to 14 days before the move-in date, you’ll get a refund of half of the first rent.
If you cancel your booking less than 13 days before the move-in date, you won’t get a refund of the first rent.

Reviews
This is hands down the best experience I've ever had renting a place from the owners. Beginning with my first message to Ursula to inquire about the rental, I knew this would be special. The flat itself is small but extremely well-designed and has everything one needs. But that's just the beginning. Ursula and Stefan are more than landlords, they are an extremely kind couple who take genuine interest in the welfare and happiness of their tenants and I now count them as friends.
The flat is located in the village of Murches, which is quiet and quaint and provides a serene home base. Cascais is a short bus or Uber ride away.
Neighborhood
Murches is very small and consists of a cafe (which is wonderful and inexpensive by US standards), a small grocery (with excellent produce and very friendly proprietors) a local bar and a hardware store. I've been here a month and never felt like I needed more because there are many large shops and supermarkets in Cascais.
There is a large park about a ten minute walk from the flat.
Recommended places nearby
