Worth Every Penny!
My wife and I first contacted Portugal the Place (PTP) from our home in Illinois during the summer of 2025, and I’m writing this review from our new apartment in Caldas da Rainha in October 2026.
PTP has been incredibly helpful at every stage of our transition to Portugal. From securing our visa appointment and finding our apartment to setting up utilities, finding healthcare, and making connections within Portugal, they have been by our side throughout the entire process.
There were many times when everything felt overwhelming, but PTP was always a reassuring and calming presence. They helped us plan ahead, were quick to respond to our many, many questions, and gave us the confidence to believe that moving to Portugal really was possible!
We are so grateful for all their help and support. Muito obrigado a todos: Clyde, Colleen, Andréia, Margarida, Ana Sofia, Leonardo, Tiago, José, Pedro, Francisco, Fiona Rose, and everyone else who helped us along the way!
