Why Сhoose Ola Estate
Searching for the rental in Portugal is such a pain
Problem of choosing a right place
Without knowing the country well, it’s hard to assess which neighborhood aligns with your needs and goals.
Pain of getting appointments
The demand is high, and apartments rent quickly. It’s often difficult to get in touch with the owner or agent.
Language barriers
Not all agents and owners speak English. It's easier for them to deal with native Portuguese speakers, making communication a challenge.
Presenting yourself effectively
In Portugal, preparing a portfolio and references is often required, which can be unfamiliar to tenants who are new to the process.
Have a team of experts who knows how to make your move stress-free
You will know the neighborhoods and locations
We can find the best value-for-money places and advise on areas to avoid.
We don't limit you to our own listings. We explore all options available on the market

Client Success Stories
Alex & Nicole
€1200
T1, Almada, Lisbon
Remote Search
Nature-friendly Area
Fully Furnished
A young remote-working couple who preferred a calm, nature-friendly area over city life — and wanted to start their search while still out of Portugal.
We handled the search and viewings remotely, giving detailed video tours of both the apartments and surrounding areas. They chose a fully furnished T1 apartment in Almada.
To strengthen the application, we prepared a custom presentation about the couple — and they were chosen out of 177 applicants!
The entire process took just 2 weeks and was handled remotely — Alex and Nicole only needed to be present to sign the contract and collect the keys.
