We spent 4 days here as a family of four. The accommodation matched the description and photos perfectly. The terrace overlooking the Douro was magnificent! The beds were very comfortable. The host was friendly and proactive in offering assistance.

Frequently asked questions about short-term rental management
Before We Get Started
The essentials to understand how we work and what you can expect from Maximogest.
How and when do I receive booking payments?
Booking platforms transfer payments directly to your bank account. Maximogest’s management fee and other operating costs are invoiced monthly, with each booking itemised in your monthly report.
What happens if a guest causes damage?
We assess and document any damage immediately after each stay and handle the reimbursement claim through the booking platform. If the platform’s protection does not cover the loss, Maximogest has its own insurance policy that can be activated in such cases.
Which locations do you operate in?
Across mainland Portugal and the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
What types of rentals do you manage?
We manage short-term rentals (licensed as Alojamento Local) and medium-term rentals.
What management models do you offer?
We offer two management models:
Full Management: We take care of everything, including cleaning, laundry and replenishment of consumables.
Full Management Without Cleaning: The property owner is responsible for cleaning and preparing the property between stays.
What is included in the management fee?
Listing and pricing management, guest communication, check-in and check-out, cleaning and maintenance coordination, tourist tax management, guest registration with the authorities, and monthly reporting.
Are there any upfront costs?
Yes, there is a one-off onboarding fee that includes professional photography and listing creation. You don’t need to pay upfront — it is only charged at the end of the first month of operation.
Is there a minimum commitment period?
We offer options with and without a minimum commitment, tailored to your needs. The terms of each option are outlined in the personalised proposal for your property.
Who sets the nightly rates?
Maximogest uses dynamic pricing based on demand, seasonality and market data, using tools such as AirDNA. The strategy is always aligned with the objectives agreed with the property owner, whether that means setting a minimum nightly rate or whether to prioritise occupancy or the nightly rate.
Does the property owner retain control of the property?
Yes. You have full access to the platform accounts, bookings, costs and revenue. You can block dates for personal use whenever you wish.
Do you offer additional services?
Yes. We offer home staging to prepare and enhance your property before it enters the market, as well as consultancy services for short-term rental owners and investors.
What makes a good listing?
Professional photography, a clear and honest description, and a price aligned with the market. That’s what we prepare during the launch phase.
