When will I receive Arrival Instructions?

 

All Arrival Information will be sent to you by email approximately 10 days before you are due to arrive. You should make sure that we have your correct email address at all times - unless we are informed otherwise, all documentation will be sent to the email address you gave us on your original Booking Form. The Arrival Information will include details of how to find your property, along with the telephone numbers to be used if you have a problem whilst you are staying with us. Back to the Questions>

 

What time can I enter my Villa or Apartment?

 

You should expect to be able to enter your property at 1400 hours. If the villa is larger than 4 bedrooms then this time will be 1600 hours. At our resorts such as 'Fairways', 'MQ Club' and 'Rocha Brava' the arrival time is advised separately and you should refer to the website for this information. Departure from the property is at 1000 hours unless we have agreed to an extension. In reality we will always do our best to get you in to your property as early as possible - even if that means using only certain rooms whilst the maids complete their work.

Is Truly algarve a member of ABTA & ATOL?

 

ABTA is a profit making association which 'Travel Package Holiday Companies' (ie: companies offering a combination of services such as accommodation and flights) are required by law to be members of. Accommodation only suppliers, such as Truly algarve, are not required to be members of this association. An ATOL is a license number held by companies which offer to supply flights. Truly algarve has many years experience in offering its accommodation - and only its accommodation - to its customers. We advise all clients to book their flights directly with their chosen airline.

Will you send me my Account Statement, Arrival Instructions, & other documentation by post?

 

No. All documentation will be sent by email unless you specifically request it is sent in another format. Back to the Questions>

 

Are Towels & Linen provided?

 

Yes, all of our properties are fully equipped with towels & linen which will be changed during your stay. We do not provide beach towels, or any towel that you may wish to use outside of the property (around the pool for example) and you must bring these with you. If you use one of the towels provided by use outside of the property you may be charged an additional amount for professional laundering. We do not normally provide linen for cots, but we will do so upon request. Back to the Questions>

 

 

Can we arrange car hire & airport transfers?

 

Yes we can. The grey menu bar at the top of every webpage has an option for 'car hire' and if you click on the Link to 'Vehicle Info' you will be able to view the type of vehicles we are able to pre-book for you, and the prices. We can also arrange transfers to and from Faro Airport, and if you would like a fixed quotation for these please email admin@villa-in-algarve.co.uk> quoting your Booking Reference Number. Please remember that we will need your full flight details, and re-confirmation of the number of adults and children in your party. Back to the Questions>

 

Will my Villa or Apartment have an iron & board?

 

Yes, normally there will be an iron & board in all Villas. For Apartments please email us to confirm this availability. In your Villa, if there is not, then please call the property Manager whose details you will have been given in your 'Arrival Instructions' document - they will be happy to supply one.

Does my property have maid service?

 

Yes. You should refer to the web page of the property you have reserved for specific information on the number of visits per week your maid will make. Please note that the maid is there for general cleaning only, and will not wash up after you or launder your cloths unless you make a special arrangement in advance. Back to the Questions>

 

Is a 'Welcome Pack' provided?

 

Unless otherwise stated on the property description pages, we do not provide as standard a 'Welcome Pack' but if you would like some basic provisions available when you arrive please email admin@villa-in-algarve.co.uk>. Please quote your Booking Reference Number and include a small shopping list. We will then do our best to make sure the items are available when you arrive, and you will be able to pay our local representative when they call to meet with you. Back to the Questions>

 

Are cots & high chairs available?

 

Yes, in most villas we can supply cots and high chairs for a small additional charge to cover the extra maid service, transportation, and maintenance. You should check before making your reservation that the property you have in mind is suitable for infants and the supply of a cot. Back to the Questions>

 

When will my Security Deposit be returned, and how?

 

If you have paid your Security Deposit prior to your departure to the Algarve then this will be returned to you within 14 days after you depart the Algarve. The payment is normally made by cheque, but you can request that it is returned to you as a BACS transfer if you have a UK bank account. You should contact accounts@villa-in-algarve.co.uk, quoting your Booking Reference Number, if you wish the return to be made by bank transfer. Back to the Questions>
