Advice and support

Booking your apartment directly with whoever manages it, rather than through a portal, has clear benefits: you pay less, you talk to someone who knows the place and the destination, and there’s a real person behind it if anything comes up. We live in Colònia de Sant Jordi and manage our apartments; here’s why booking direct suits you and how it works.

You save: 5% and no commissions

The big portals charge the accommodation a commission and often a service fee to the traveller: that money doesn’t improve your stay, it just inflates the bill. Book direct and we apply a 5% discount and you skip the middleman fees. Same place, better price.

Direct contact with someone local

Booking direct means you talk to us, not a call centre. That means local advice (beaches, restaurants, coves), help arranging the airport transfer, tailored recommendations and the flexibility to answer any question before you come. No one knows the place and the village better.

Secure booking and payment

Booking direct is secure and transparent: a clear confirmation, terms with no small print and protected payment. You know exactly what you’re booking, with whom and on what terms, without middlemen complicating anything.

Better price, no surprises

We guarantee the same or a better price than the platforms, with no last-minute hidden fees. If you’ve seen the place on a portal, write to us: we can almost always beat the offer by booking direct.

Before and during: real support

Before you arrive you get the practical information you need; during the stay we’re reachable by phone or WhatsApp for whatever comes up. It’s the difference between an anonymous booking number and having someone local making sure everything goes well.

How to book direct

It’s easy: check availability and prices on our site and book in a few clicks, or write to us and we’ll help. If you’re still weighing hotel or apartment, or want to work out the weekly budget, we’ll guide you with no obligation.

Who it’s for (and who it isn’t)

Great if you want the best price and to deal directly, no commissions.
Skip it if you always book via platforms out of habit: here’s why direct is better.

Local tip: booking direct with us saves the platform commission: same place, 5% less.
