List your holiday rental / Alojamento Local
in the Algarve, with no commission and no middleman

You own a holiday rental (Alojamento Local) in Olhão or elsewhere in the Algarve and you want to boost your visibility without relying on traditional booking platforms like Airbnb or Booking?

Amo-te Olhão offers a simple, transparent alternative: showcasing selected properties within a destination website dedicated to Olhão and the Algarve—no commission, no middleman, and no restrictions on how you communicate with travellers.

This is not a directory or an automated booking platform, but a direct connection designed for owners who want a high-quality, fully controlled presence.

Why list your holiday rental or Alojamento Local on Amo-te Olhão?

Listing your holiday rental (Alojamento Local) on Amo-te Olhão means choosing visibility that is more qualitative, clearer, and more controlled than on traditional booking platforms.

The website is aimed at travellers who take the time to plan their stay, understand a destination, and choose their accommodation with confidence.

Amo-te Olhão is built on three simple principles:

• visibility integrated within an editorial destination website dedicated to Olhão and the Algarve
• direct connection between travellers and owners
• a clear framework, with no commission and no middleman

This approach showcases each property in a consistent way, while giving owners complete freedom in how they manage communication and set their own terms.

Why Amo-te Olhão is different from traditional platforms

Amo-te Olhão does not work like a traditional booking platform.

It is a destination website that connects travellers and owners directly, through an editorial, selective approach with no commission.

No commission on your rentals

Unlike traditional platforms, Amo-te Olhão takes no percentage of your bookings.

You don’t pay per night booked or per confirmed reservation.
The cost is clear, fixed, and independent of your turnover.

No algorithm, no constant competition

On traditional platforms, visibility often depends on algorithms, forced promotions, or changing criteria.

On Amo-te Olhão:

• properties are selected
• visibility is controlled
• there is no bidding war and no pricing pressure

Each property is presented fairly, within a clear and easy-to-read framework.

No middleman in the relationship

Amo-te Olhão does not come between you and travellers.

• no forced messaging system
• no rules dictated by a platform
• no payment or booking management

You stay in control of your communication, your rules, and your customer relationship.

An editorial approach, not just a catalogue

Amo-te Olhão is first and foremost a destination website, with editorial content dedicated to Olhão and the Algarve.

Holiday rentals are integrated into this editorial environment, which enables:

• a more premium presentation
• a better understanding of the destination
• a context that encourages travellers to get in touch

Your property is not an isolated listing, but a stay option integrated into a complete travel universe.

Selection over volume

Amo-te Olhão’s goal is not to display the highest possible number of properties.

The website prioritises:

• a consistent selection
• carefully crafted presentation
• real visibility for each property

This approach benefits both travellers and owners.

A deliberate selection of holiday rentals and Alojamento Local properties

Amo-te Olhão does not list every holiday rental by choice.

Each request is reviewed manually to ensure a consistent selection—both for travellers and for owners already featured on the website.

This approach helps preserve the website’s identity, ensures a well-crafted presentation of each property, and avoids an overload of listings.

Why this selection is a conscious choice

Selecting properties is not a limitation, but a deliberate decision.

A limited number of listings allows:

• better readability across the website
• fairer visibility for each property
• a higher-quality experience for travellers

As a result, every listed property benefits from real visibility within a controlled environment.

What types of properties are you looking for?

Amo-te Olhão prioritises holiday rentals that are:

• legally registered and intended for tourist accommodation
• properly maintained
• located in Olhão or within a coherent area of the Algarve
• supported by representative photos of sufficient quality

These simple criteria help ensure a consistent selection, without excluding unnecessarily.

A decision made case by case

Selection is based on an overall review of the property, its location, and how well it fits the spirit of the website.

Amo-te Olhão reserves the right not to accept certain requests, without an obligation to provide detailed justification, in order to protect the website’s balance and quality.

Where are the listed holiday rentals / Alojamento Local properties located?

Amo-te Olhão was born in Olhão, and the town remains at the heart of the project.

The website highlights holiday rentals located in Olhão, but also across the Algarve—depending on how well each property fits the spirit of the website.

This wider scope makes it possible to offer a varied selection of accommodation while keeping a clear, easy-to-navigate identity.

Olhão, the website’s home base

Olhão has a central place on Amo-te Olhão.

The town is strongly featured through editorial content, visit ideas, and practical information.

Properties located in Olhão therefore benefit from a particularly favourable context, within a website deeply rooted in the destination.

A natural opening to the whole Algarve

Amo-te Olhão also lists holiday rentals across the Algarve, as long as they fit a stay experience that matches travellers’ expectations.

Each property is presented with its location, surroundings, and local highlights in mind, so travellers receive clear and useful information.

A selection guided by coherence, not volume

The goal is not to cover the entire region, but to feature relevant, well-located properties that match the website’s identity.

This approach makes it possible to:

• keep a clear editorial focus
• avoid scattering listings too widely
• showcase each property fairly

How does the listing process work?

Listing a property on Amo-te Olhão follows a simple, transparent process with no middleman.

By “listing”, we mean your property being featured and showcased on the Amo-te Olhão website—not search-engine listing (SEO).

The goal is to offer owners high-quality visibility, while leaving you complete freedom to manage enquiries and bookings.

1. Submit your property

You submit your holiday rental through the dedicated form, providing the essential information: description, location, and visuals.

This first step makes it possible to check whether the property fits the spirit and editorial guidelines of the website.

2. Manual review of your request

Every request is reviewed manually.

This review ensures:

• the overall quality of the property
• geographical relevance
• alignment with the expectations of the website’s travellers

Amo-te Olhão reserves the right not to accept certain requests in order to preserve the website’s balance.

3. Choose your listing plan

If your property is accepted, you choose the listing plan that best matches your visibility needs.

Listing is based on an annual subscription, with no commission and no hidden fees.

4. Your page goes live

Once the plan is selected, your property is published on the website with its own dedicated page.

Travellers can then view your listing and contact you directly using the contact details provided.

5. Direct connection, with no follow-up or intervention

Amo-te Olhão’s role is limited to connecting travellers and owners.

The website:

• does not intervene in conversations
• does not have access to messages
• is not informed about booking requests
• has no information about your rates or confirmed bookings

Any communication—and any potential booking—then takes place exclusively between both parties, independently.
