A home ready before your NIF is.

Yes. A passport, the deposit and your employment contract are enough to move in. You can sort the NIF and the bank account calmly once you are here, which is far easier with a fixed address than from abroad.

No. That requirement belongs to standard long leases, which is exactly the door that closes on teachers arriving from another country.

Yes. The minimum is one month. Many teachers use the first two or three months as a base while they learn the area and find a flat they actually want, instead of signing a year-long lease sight unseen.

Fully furnished, with kitchen equipment, bed linen, a washing machine and fibre internet. Water, power and internet are included in the monthly rate, so nothing goes into your name.

By train. Monte Estoril station is four hundred metres from the door and the Carcavelos schools are a few stops away, about twelve minutes, then a short walk. Free street parking outside if you do bring a car.

Yes. We can issue an invoice to the school or to a relocation budget, and put the terms in writing in English before you travel.

Yes. Two bedrooms, one queen and one with two singles, and space in the living room to work. Four people fit comfortably.

Quiet and residential, which is the point. Monte Estoril empties of tourists after September and turns back into a town with a bakery, a market and a seafront you can run on in February.
