Who we are
We’ve been living in Portugal for 4 years, including the last two on the Silver Coast, and understand the challenges of maintaining a home in this region.
One of the biggest surprises for us was humidity — how quickly it builds up and how much regular care a home needs to stay dry and fresh. It’s easy to overlook, but over time it can affect both the property and everything inside it.
We also see how many homes remain closed for months while owners are away, without ventilation or regular checks — often leading to issues that could have been prevented.
That’s why we created this service — to help homeowners keep their properties in good condition all year round.
For us, it’s not just about checking a property.
It’s about consistent, thoughtful care — as if it were our own home.

What our clients say
- I often travel and leave my home closed for extended periods. Humidity was always a concern, especially during the cooler months.
Since you’ve been taking care of the house, I feel much more at ease knowing everything is being checked regularly and properly ventilated.
It really makes a difference to come back to a home that feels fresh and well looked after.Polina BalashovaHouse in Bom Sucesso - We were nervous about leaving our property for 8 months. A friend suggested DryHome and we're so glad we listened. The humidity reports gave us real peace of mind — we could actually see the numbers going down after they started managing the dehumidifiers. When we arrived in June, the house smelled fresh and everything was exactly as we left it.Diane Morgan, CanadaHouse in São Martinho do Porto
- I'll be honest. When I first saw the price, I hesitated. It seemed like a lot for 'just checking the house'. But then this winter happened. There was a serious storm on the Silver Coast. Days of heavy rain, strong winds. In previous years, I would sit at home in Germany watching the weather forecast for Portugal and worried about my house.
This time was different. As soon as the storm passed, Olga drove out to check the property and sent me a video report. Some roof tiles had come loose and a few trees in the garden were down but I already knew about it. I could start arranging repairs calmly, without panic and imagining the worst.
That feeling – knowing someone is there, that you'll find out immediately and not discover it six months later on arrival – that's what you're actually paying for. And honestly, it's worth every euro.Alexander Kunft, GermanyHouse in Praia d'El Rey - What I love most is how easy everything is. I sent one WhatsApp message, got a clear explanation of the plans, and was set up within a few days. No complicated contracts, no surprises.
Last time I flew in on a late evening flight and mentioned I wouldn't have time to stop at a supermarket. Without me even asking, Olga offered to pick up some basics — milk, bread, eggs, a few essentials. When I arrived after midnight, the house was fresh and there was food in the fridge. I nearly cried.
It feels like you're asking a trusted neighbour to look after things, not hiring a faceless company.Sarah M., IrelandHoliday home in Foz do Arelho - I was a bit sceptical at first. I wasn't sure if a small local service could be reliable. But Olga and Anna are incredibly professional. They respond quickly on WhatsApp, the photo reports are detailed, and they flagged a small leak under the sink before it became a real problem. I've recommended them to two neighbours already.Pieter Vebber, NetherlandsApartment in Caldas da Rainha
- We bought our house on the Silver Coast as a holiday home and only visit twice a year. After the first winter without any care, we found mould on the walls and a musty smell that took weeks to get rid of. Since we started with DryHome, we haven't had a single issue. We get photos after every visit and always know exactly what's happening. Honestly, it's the best investment we've made since buying the house.James & Helen, UKVilla near Óbidos
