    Suitable hand washing with soap and water several times a day or whenever warranted, for at least 20 seconds, or use of alcohol-based cleaning solution.

Everyone should monitor their own symptoms and if you experience any of the above you should immediately contact SNS number 808 24 24 24 and stay in your villa awaiting further instructions. You should also inform reception immediately so we can follow the procedures in the company’s contingency plan.

    As a result of the Portuguese government’s recently announced COVID-19 regulations, use of masks are no longer required as of April 22nd, except while entering old age homes, visiting patients in hospitals and health centres. It is however recommended that the required social distance should be maintained.
