ALprontoOur 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.
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.
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.
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.

Check rates →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.
A short message is enough to get started — we'll come back with next steps and, if useful, a personalised estimate.
