I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.


For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.


The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.


The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.


I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

• Licensing & safety — Register your Alojamento Local (RNAL), display the AL number, meet fire-safety standards and collect guest IDs as required by law.
• Planning & permits — Confirm condominium/building rules and any municipal limits or suspension zones with the relevant Câmara Municipal.
• Fees, taxes & records — Apply the Municipal Tourist Tax where due, declare income (IRS/IVA as applicable) and keep invoices/guest logs.

Covering the Lisbon Metropolitan Area end-to-end, city apartments to coastal villas, our team drives bookings with smart pricing, pro operations and multi-platform reach.
Professional alojamento local management in Portugal typically runs 10 to 30 per cent of gross booking revenue. Remote or digital management, covering listings, pricing and guest messaging, sits at the lower end around 10 to 15 per cent. Full service with on-the-ground check-in and cleaning coordination runs 20 to 30 per cent. Cleaning is usually charged separately or passed to the guest, and some companies charge a one-off fee for handling the initial registration.
Listing creation and photography, dynamic pricing against season and local demand, guest communication, check-in and check-out, cleaning and laundry coordination, and maintenance. In Portugal there is also a compliance layer: registering guest stays with the authorities and handling the municipal tourist tax. The point of the service is to remove the daily operation while improving what the property earns.
Yes. Any property let short term in Portugal needs an alojamento local registration, and the number must appear on the listing. Lisbon operates containment zones where new registrations are restricted or suspended depending on the parish, so whether a licence is available at all depends on exactly where the property sits. Condominium rules can restrict short letting separately. Check both before buying or committing a property.
Lisbon is one of the stronger short-let markets in Southern Europe, with demand running well beyond the summer peak. The constraint is not demand, it is licensing: in the restricted parishes a property without an existing registration cannot be let short term at all. Where a licence exists, short lets typically outperform long lets by a wide margin, before the costs of cleaning, management and the tourist tax.
Optimised distribution and pricing increase booking pace and ADR—helping metro properties from Cascais to Almada earn more with less effort.
