A short-term rental management company takes care of the entire operation of tourist apartments and short-term rentals — from promoting and maintaining the property to welcoming and supporting guests.

The sector's growth reflects high tourist demand all year round. Guests value the price-quality ratio, more spacious accommodations, and a more personalised experience than traditional hotels offer.

Short-term rental offers a more informal, personalised stay in full living spaces — apartments or houses — usually in prime locations, with a balance of comfort and price that appeals to guests seeking flexibility.

No. Besides short-term rentals, GAL also manages long-term rental properties, adapting the strategy to whatever best suits each property.

We operate in Portugal's main tourist regions — Porto, Lisbon, Oeiras, Cascais, Sintra, Almada, Costa da Caparica, the Algarve and Madeira — with in-depth knowledge of each local market.

Yes. In a country with high tourist demand all year round, short-term rental allows for continuous income from the property, making it a solid investment.

With professional management and price optimisation, short-term rental can generate more than double the income of a traditional lease, through an optimised occupancy rate and profitability.

Yes. You can keep earning income from the property while the sale process is underway, by scheduling viewings between stays. Operating as a short-term rental can even increase the property's appeal to investors interested in keeping it as a tourist rental. Through our partnership with GoldenEstoril, we also support this transition.

Owner suggestions are always welcome, but day-to-day pricing is handled by GAL. This real-time management, based on demand and market conditions, is what guarantees the best occupancy rate and profitability.

The property is promoted on the platforms with the greatest visibility — Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and VRBO/HomeAway — complemented by social media, local partnerships, and professional photography and video that enhance the listing. We further boost exposure through business networks, embassies and other tourism-related entities.

Besides managing the rental, we offer complementary services that enrich the guest experience — airport transfers, sightseeing tours, private chef, laundry and extra cleaning, among others.

Cleaning is carried out by professional teams with extensive hospitality experience, ensuring every property is spotless before each check-in.

Depending on the service plan you choose, we provide bed linen and bath and kitchen towels at no extra cost, and we fully cover the laundry after every check-out.

Maintenance includes regular inspections to ensure the property stays in good condition, cleaning and laundry between stays, day-to-day minor repairs, and coordination of structural repairs whenever necessary.

Yes. Just let us know your preferred dates in advance so we can block the calendar and adjust the pricing strategy, preserving the property's profitability and occupancy rate.

Booking platforms generally include insurance that covers damage caused during a stay. In some cases, a security deposit is also charged to the guest, reinforcing accountability and covering minor damage.

Our service pricing is available on the Pricing page, or can be clarified directly with our team.
