House Rules & Infos
How to get there ?
When you arrive in Atins, you will have to explain to the driver that will pick you up at the « port » how to get to the villa. There are very few street names in Atins, and most people just don’t know them. So do not worry, at the end, everybody finds the right place !
For Villa SHANTI, follow the green line. Tell the driver it is opposite VILA SATUR.
For Villa GAIA, follow the yellow line. Tell the driver it is on the same street than the Pousada Charme Chalés, Rua Alegria. But when you come from the main road of the village, instead of going right towards this pousada, take a left. The name of the house is on the front gate, 200 m from the street crossing.
