House for rent - Portimão

The Train Station Villa is part of a co-living project that involved the restoration of buildings near a station in Algarve (area: Mexilhoeira Grande - 10min between the cities of Lagos & Portimão / Alvor), featuring three side-by-side houses and a separate building with more two homes, all sharing a communal garden, making it ideal for friends or families seeking close-knit living with similar-sized homes, slightly similar decor, and shared outdoor spaces.

The house available is part of the 3 side-by-side houses:

Features of the house:
- 1 Double Bedroom
- Living Room w/ new furniture and decoration;
- Equipped Kitchen (fridge, stove, oven, dishes, pots, etc. - no microwave)
- Spacious Bathroom
- Heating: portable gas heater & air conditioning
- Internet: STARLINK
- Monthly Bills Included: water, electricity, internet, access to laundry, 2 bikes

Shared Outdoor Area
- Large dining table (seats 10+)
- Lounge area
- Shared wood-fired oven (no meat BBQs as we are an animal-friendly space)

Laundry Room
- Shared laundry with 2 washing machines (no dryer)
- Covered clothesline

Surroundings
- Mexilhoeira Grande village (5–7 min walk): supermarkets, bank, post office, pharmacy, etc.
- Fruit & Veg Market (2 min walk)
- Nearby Farms & Associations: birdwatching, horse farms, volunteering opportunities
- Hypermarkets: Odiáxere, Portimão, Lagos (7–10 min drive)
- Space surrounded by nature, featuring a running / walk trail called "Delicate Rock" enjoying the horses, donkeys, flamingos around it ***

*** About 6min by bike ride, leading the back of Alvor / Meia Praia Beach, where you can enjoy also swimming ;)

Note: The train nearby is a small, traditional train, and the noise lasts 4–6 seconds. Guests have noted that it’s not disruptive. The train doesn’t run at night. The station is 2 minutes away on foot, offering easy access to Meia Praia (5 min by train) and Lagos or Portimão (10 min by train).

You are very welcome :)

Thank you,
Mar

Welcome package

When you arrive, although the keys are in a safe box, I always like to personally welcome guests and explain the project. There’s a WhatsApp group for everyone in the Train Station Villa. I usually organise a small meeting so everyone can meet each other, go over the house rules, and share local recommendations for restaurants, places to visit, and activities. Even when I’m away, I’m always available to help, and my father supports the project for any issues with the house. Also I can introduce you to local groups and events like dancing, surfing, or other activities. You can expect a house decorated with a lot of love and care, clean and super comfortable. ;)

Neighborhood hero

I’m Mar, 36 years old, Portuguese and I’ve been running this project for 4 years. My background is in Organizational Psychology and HR, and after working in multinationals in Lisbon, I decided to return to my roots and focus on this dream.

I’ve always loved architecture, decoration, and creating beautiful, comfortable spaces. That passion led me to the Train Station Villa project, where I’ve worked to transform old station buildings into unique, welcoming homes. The people who’ve lived here often become close friends, and it brings me so much joy to see a sense of community grow around this project.

I live in a studio in the Train Station Villa project, so if you have any question, need any help, Im always available (1min my walk distance from the houses).

Looking forward to meet you.

Thank you
Mar

FAQ

What happens after I make a booking?

Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.

Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?

All the properties listed on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.

What is a medium-term rent?

The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the hosts offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.

Can I go through the contract before I make a booking of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.

While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.

If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.

In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!

If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the host can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.

You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.

How can I pay?

On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.

How can I cancel my booking?

How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.

Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!

However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the living space is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.

Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).

Unfortunately, this listing isn't active at the moment. Please check back later.
