"Switching was a great decision. We started with one property and, before long, we saw the difference in income, in reviews and in our day-to-day peace of mind. Today we have 4 properties managed by A Proa do Moliceiro — and we wouldn't go back." C. Fernando · owner since 2024
Process
How we work with you
From the first visit to monthly reporting: a clear, transparent process designed to protect the value of your property.
-
01
Careful assessment
We visit the property and analyse location, potential and fit within our portfolio. No commitment. Not every property is accepted — and that protects the ones that are.
-
02
Clear proposal
We present a realistic income estimate, a positioning plan and the commission model. No fine print.
-
03
Setup and licensing
We handle whatever is missing: short-term rental licensing, professional photography, decor adjustments, inventory and amenities. We work with empty or outdated properties.
-
04
Launch
Listings on Booking, Airbnb, Google and direct channel. Dynamic pricing. Premium positioning from day 1, without price dumping.
-
05
Operations and reporting
Guest communication, self-check-ins, professional cleaning and preventive maintenance. You see clear, real-time reporting on revenue and costs. On-time payments.
Positioning
Who it's for (and who it isn't)
We work with few properties and few owners. We'd rather say "no" early than disappoint later.
It's for you if
- You own a well-located property in Aveiro or a prime area
- You value the guest experience and a consistent brand
- You prefer quality and positioning to volume and mass-market
- You want to protect the property's value over the long run
- You prefer a close, personal relationship to a call centre
We're not for you if
- You're only looking for the lowest commission on the market
- You want to maximise occupancy at the cost of brand and ADR
- You're looking for an undifferentiated management model
- You want to hand over the property without any involvement or standards
Trust
Owners who trust us
It isn't what we say about ourselves. It's what they say.
"We started with short-term rentals without big expectations — honestly, we didn't quite know what to expect. We were genuinely surprised by the service, the results and the team's dedication."
"I live abroad and the apartment had been closed for over a year after terrible experiences with long-term rentals. Today I'm at ease: I know the apartment is in excellent hands and is taken care of meticulously."
"I'm so proud of this team. Young, entrepreneurial, with a level of dedication that's hard to find these days. I live in Lisbon, I have property in Aveiro, and I know they look after it well beyond just income. I'm completely at ease — and that's worth gold."
