Porto, Portugal - a city steeped in history, natural beauty, and cultural richness. Nestled along the banks of the Douro River, it boasts a picturesque waterfront with colourful buildings and iconic bridges. The city's historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a treasure trove of architectural wonders, from grand churches and monuments to narrow, winding streets. Visitors can savour the rich flavours of Portuguese cuisine at local taverns and experience the world-famous port wine cellars. With its warm, welcoming atmosphere and vibrant festivals, Porto promises an unforgettable holiday filled with culture and relaxation.
No wonder Porto has become a thriving destination for tourists, digital nomads and expats over the past years. Demand is particularly high in the old town neighbourhood of Boavista or the waterfront enclaves of Foz and Ribeira. All of these have been gentrified for the visitor, with trendy restaurants, cafes, fashion boutiques and co-workings.
But wherever your Porto holiday apartment or villa is situated, it is prime property. Given the predicted surge in the popularity of Porto in the coming years, finding the right property management partner could be the best investment you ever make.
Iberian Escapes is a specialist inbound travel agency based in the Algarve region of Portugal. We boast an extensive network of local service providers and destination experts all over Portugal including all the major destinations such as Lisbon and Albufeira
For over 20 years, we have been creating bespoke holiday packages and event planning for our clients. Nobody knows Portugal like we do, and nobody knows how to expertly manage a rental property in Portugal more than our dedicated team.
We pride ourselves on offering an array of top-notch services tailored to the unique culture of Porto and its rapidly developing high-end tourism.
These include:
Effective marketing is essential to not only more bookings but also more quality guests. Professional-looking photographs, slick copy and other values are the backbone of your brand. We can make your property shine online, and know the tricks to push it up the search engines on the major portals such as airbnb and booking.com, along with our own property booking platform.
As part of our management of your online presence, we can also answer all queries in a timely and friendly manner and manage multiple booking calendars. We have the
experience to intuitively screen potential guests, and encourage reviews that lead to repeat bookings.
With so many great properties on offer, renting a holiday apartment in Porto is a highly competitive business. The importance of property maintenance cannot be overstated. It is vital in order to secure good reviews and optimal occupancy. Even small things, such as a broken kettle or stained sheets can impact your reputation.
Our property managers understand the value of optimal property upkeep. They can handle routine maintenance and repairs promptly, addressing any issues that arise, and ensuring your properties remain in excellent condition. On top, they have the experience to advise you on where to spend your money, and rely on a local crew of professionals to carry out the work for you.
Legislation regarding the legality of holiday rentals in Porto and all over Portugal has changed dramatically over the past years, and it continues to be a hot topic. Our legal team is well-versed in Porto's short-term rental property laws and regulations, ensuring that your investments are always in compliance with local requirements.
Simply put, because we will look after your property like it were one of our own.
On top, we will provide our services for a commission-based fee on bookings you receive through us only. No exclusivity clauses. No contracts. No hidden fees.
That’s right. Say goodbye to complicated end-of-month statements and ‘hidden’ deductions.
We pride ourselves on transparent accounting. And as vacation property owners ourselves we know the importance of accurate profit projections for outgoings such as taxes and repairs.
With Iberian Escapes as your property manager, you will never be ‘left in the dark’ as to where your money went.
Our fixed fee included meet and greets, professional cleaning, laundry and turnaround services and minor repairs. If your property needs the services of a professional, such as a plumber or electrician, we have an extensive network of skilled tradesmen who work at local rates.
What's more, our Concierge Services bring added value to your guests. As one of Portugal’s premier bespoke travel providers, we can assist them with unique experiences to make their stay more memorable, from specialist walking tours of Porto to day trips to the Duero and beyond.
We speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Russian and German. We are friendly and personable. We don’t mind if you have a single bedroom studio in Porto or a dozen rental properties all over Portugal, we would love to talk to you.
Contact us today, and our property manager will discuss your requirements and organise a visit to your holiday rental property so we can design a management proposal.
