Testimonials

What homeowners say

"Knowing someone I trust is looking after my home while I'm away makes all the difference. From watering the plants to opening the windows and checking that everything is just as it should be, every visit gives me real peace of mind. Coming back always feels effortless.

Irina K.

Lives between Brussels and Porto

"Finding someone reliable isn't easy, especially when you're entrusting them with your home. Peace of Porto is thoughtful, dependable and incredibly attentive to detail. It's reassuring to know our home is being cared for by someone who treats it with genuine respect.

Simone & Julien M.

"I split my time between Porto and London, so having someone local to keep an eye on things is invaluable. The communication is excellent, the service is discreet, and I always arrive to a home that feels fresh, welcoming and ready.

FAQ

A few things you might be wondering

Peace of Porto is for homeowners, long-term tenants, second-home owners, expats and anyone who spends extended periods away from their home in Porto.

Whether you're away for a week, several months or simply travel often, we'll tailor a care plan to your lifestyle, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.

Not necessarily.

Our monthly Care Plans are ideal for those who travel regularly or spend extended periods away from Porto.

If you only need occasional assistance, we also offer one-off visits tailored to your needs.

Absolutely.

Every home—and every routine—is different. If you need something beyond your Care Plan, such as receiving a delivery, meeting a technician, arranging flowers or taking care of a one-off request, we're happy to help.

Whenever an additional service falls outside your plan, we'll always confirm any additional fees with you before proceeding.

We arrange a secure key handover at a time that suits you. Your keys are stored securely, handled with complete discretion and used only to provide the services you've requested.

Trust is at the heart of everything we do.

If we notice anything unusual during a scheduled visit—such as a leak, signs of humidity or a maintenance issue—we'll contact you promptly, explain the situation and discuss the next steps with you.

If an additional visit or coordination is required outside your Care Plan, we'll always let you know beforehand if any additional fees apply.

Arrival Preparation is designed to make coming home feel effortless.

Before you arrive, we'll prepare your home according to your preferences: airing the rooms, watering your plants, refreshing the space and making sure everything feels welcoming.

The service also includes up to €40 worth of grocery shopping, based on your personal shopping list. If you'd like additional items, we'll simply add the difference to your final invoice.

Whether it's fresh flowers, breakfast essentials or a few favourite treats, we're happy to personalise your arrival.

Yes. After every scheduled visit, we'll send you a brief update and, whenever helpful, a few photos, so you always know your home is being thoughtfully cared for.
