Property management

Property management in Spa: delegate or self-manage

A property manager (“conciergerie”) handles all or part of the work (listings, check-in, cleaning, linen, messages) for a commission. Before choosing one in Spa, compare exactly what is included.

What to compare

  • The exact scope: listings and pricing, check-in or self check-in, cleaning, linen, small repairs.
  • The commission and what it covers (cleaning and linen charged separately or not).
  • The company: registration (SIREN) and professional liability insurance.
  • Handling of the tourist tax and the registration number on your listings.
  • The tools given to guests: welcome book, access codes, answers to frequent questions.
