How it works

From first message to your first guest

01

Tell us about your property

A short form — location, size, current setup. No obligation, takes a minute.

02

We agree scope & terms

We confirm what's included, set your commission, and configure ALpronto for your property.

03

We list you everywhere

Live on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and our own direct booking site — one synced calendar.

04

You start earning

We manage bookings and guests. You, or someone you trust, handle cleaning and check-in.

What we handle

Everything commercial. Nothing physical.

The parts of running a short-term rental that take the most time — and the least reason to be on-site.

Multi-channel distribution

Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and our direct booking site — one calendar, no double-bookings.

Guest communication

From first enquiry through to check-in, handled professionally, in the guest's language.

Pricing & calendar

Rates and availability kept current across every channel, adjusted for season and demand.

Legal compliance

SEF/SIBA guest reporting filed automatically for every stay, no paperwork for you.

Financial reporting

Clear, itemised statements for every booking — check your numbers whenever you want.

Legalisation support

Help registering your property as Alojamento Local, when it isn't already.

ALpronto

Every property runs on ALpronto.

Our own operations platform — not a white-label tool we license from someone else. It keeps every property we manage running smoothly, with no manual busywork and no extra people in the loop between you and your guests.

  • One calendar, every platform
    Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO stay in sync automatically — no manual updates, no double-bookings.
  • Automated legal reporting
    SEF/SIBA guest bulletins filed for every stay, without anyone having to remember to do it.
  • Guest messaging, organised
    Every conversation tracked by property and by stay — nothing gets missed between platforms.
  • Your own direct booking site
    A commission-free channel for repeat guests and referrals, built in from day one.
  • A financial dashboard you control
    Check your numbers whenever you want — not only when we send a report.
Scope, clearly defined

Pricing, no small print

One commission. Nothing else.

Up to15%

Of your net rental revenue — often less, depending on your property.

A flat percentage doesn't work the same for a €65-a-night apartment and a €250-a-night villa, so your exact commission is set per property, up to 15%. No monthly fee, no lock-in, either way.

The one-off setup fee works the same way — up to €250, and only for what your property actually needs: legalisation support if you're not yet registered, and listing creation on any platform you're not yet live on. Already live everywhere? There may be nothing to set up. And anything we do create — your listings, your accounts — stays yours, even if you leave.

PrimeStays — up to 15% Traditional full-service — 20–28%

Traditional full-service management typically bundles cleaning and check-in into that rate — see "What we handle" above for exactly what's included in ours.

Estimate your income

What could your property earn?

A monthly gross revenue estimate by region, based on market data — and what you'd keep after our commission (up to 15%).

Estimate based on market data (AirDNA, GuestReady, Airbtics, 2025–2026) by region. Actual income depends on your property, presentation, and season. The commission shown assumes our standard rate (up to 15%) — yours may be lower. Not a guarantee of income.

Frequently asked

Before you get in touch

Yes. You keep full ownership of, and access to, every platform account — on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO — during and after our contract. We never take those over.

Anywhere in Portugal, including Madeira and the Azores. Because we don't handle cleaning or check-in, distance from Lisbon isn't a limiting factor — many of our owners live abroad and have a local caretaker already.

It's the platform every property we manage runs on: one synced calendar across every channel, automated SEF/SIBA compliance, organised guest messaging, your own direct booking site, and a live financial dashboard. See the section above for the full picture.

No. We don't use lock-in contracts. If it's not working for you, you can leave whenever you choose — your accounts and your listing history stay yours.

You do — or someone you already trust. We coordinate with that person on scheduling, but we never replace them, and we're never responsible for physical access to your property.

There's no single number — it depends on your property. The setup fee (up to €250) only covers what you actually need: legalisation support if you're not registered yet, and listing creation on any platform you're not live on yet. If you're already live everywhere, there may be nothing to set up — and anything we create stays yours regardless. The commission is up to 15%, often lower for higher-value properties, since a flat percentage doesn't scale the same way between a budget apartment and a premium villa. We'll confirm your exact numbers before anything is agreed.
