It was an easy and seamless process booking an apartment for my holiday on Houfy. The best aspect was that there were no extra costs. I saw the same place for more on other websites and saved money booking through Houfy. It really makes a difference and you can spend the additional saved money on experiences and/or tours.

Easy and seamless process

Houfy provided me with links to all communications with our host, allowed me to review the rental anytime and pay for our vacation without having to go back through and reenter info. The contracting practice was all online so I didn’t have to do any paperwork after the fact. Happy with the outcome!

Hi, I am Petra, a world citizen originally from Belgium, and I look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful Lisbon coast! 

After living 15 years in Rio de Janeiro where I was running a holiday rental business, I moved back to the old continent and settled in Portugal with my family, a truly amazing country!

The apartments I manage are designed with your comfort and well being in mind, after all I am a traveler myself and have a good feeling of what makes an accommodation stand out. My goal is to treat my guests the same way I would like to be treated when I am traveling, offering them the same standard as what I would expect when I go on holiday: a comfortable, clean, secure and quiet place with character, together with some personal tips to make the most out of my stay. I like to connect, meet new people and discover hidden gems in the places I visit, go where the locals go instead of following the tourist flows, and I want to share my insider tips with you when you visit Portugal!
