Is there a parking area near the check-in point?

Nearby our check-in point there are free parking lots, however in high season it is convenient that you arrive in time, as finding a available parking place can take some time.

Can I do payments by ATM?

No, payments must be made fully by bank transference until 48h after the reservation, otherwise your reservation is automatically cancelled.

Can I do payments by cash?

No. The only payment that must be done in cash is the deposit fee, during the check-in (100€, returned at the check-out).

Is it possible to exceed the capacity of the boat?

No, due to the legal licenses related to the capacity of the accommodation.

Is there hot water?

Yes, using the EcoFriendly concept, there is a tank of water that is heated by solar energy.

Is the service “Menu” always available?

Our Menus are available when reserved with at least 48 hours in advance.

Can I sail the House Boat wherever I want?

No, the House Boat does not sail, it is anchored nearby Barra Velha beach (summer) or fuseta dock (winter), inside Ria Formosa. Next to the House Boat there is a rubber dingy to go to the nearest beach.

Are pets allowed?

No, on board the House Boat pets are not allowed, mainly for safety reasons for the animal itself.

Can I do the check-in/ check-out any time I want?

The schedule of the check-in and check-out will be provided by Passeios Ria Formosa and it has to be respected due the tidal cycle, otherwise we can’t guarantee the access to the House Boat. These are issues that we cannot work around.

Which equipment does the House Boat kitchen have?

The House Boat kitchen has a refrigerator (50 liters with freezer drawer), microwave( which can be used for a maximum of 2 straight minutes, in a total of 5 minutes per day; only during the day and never in defrost mode), a coffee machine, in addition to the cutlery, serving dishes, glasses, pots and pans.  To cook your meal, the House Boat also has a small camping stove .

You can charge your phone aboard the HouseBoat during the day.

Barco Casa does not support electrical appliances that are not part of its inventory. The use of toasters, grills, electric plates, hair dryers, or other electrical appliances is prohibited.

What can I find in the surroundings of the House Boat?

Near the House Boat you will only find a desert beach, without restaurants or cafes. The nearest place is Fuzeta village, which is 10 minutes away by boat.

During the stay, can I go to Fuzeta whenever I want?

The transport of the House Boat guests at the check and at the check out are included in the daily fare. Other trips by aqua-taxi can only be done respecting the tidal cycle, therefore those must be booked in advance, and have an additional cost of 20€(one way) or 30€ (go and return) from 9am until 6pm.

TOP! A melhor experiência que tive este ano, superou todas as expetativas. Uma noite longe de tudo, com a vista do pôr do sol e passar a noite com o céu estrelado, foi surreal. Aconselho vivamente! Sem dúvida voltaria a repetir!
