Other things to note General disclaimer: Portugal is a prospecting and growing country with a lot of influx of tourism and immigration. A wonderful place for many people asking for places to live and stay at. Please note that construction, building, renovation or repair activity can occur at any point in time in any location and it is not possible to plan for that or influence it. This can occur on normal working hours and also on weekends. The landlord cannot be held liable for this as Portuguese law (lei do ruído) allows these activities at the above mentioned times.
