Holiday rental management in Ericeira and Mafra
A holiday rental pays. And it is work, every day.
Listing on Airbnb and Booking.com, photos, calendar, prices adjusted to the season and the day of the week. This is where the income comes from.
The wifi password, the key box that will not open, the flight landing at 3 a.m. while you are two thousand kilometres away. The company answers and welcomes your guests.
Two check-outs on the same day, a cleaner who does not turn up, sheets and towels to wash. The company organises the turnover between stays.
Air conditioning, hot water, a lock with flat batteries, in the middle of August. The company has the technicians and sends them.
SIBA reports for foreign guests within three working days, tourist tax where it applies, the complaints book. The company keeps track of the deadlines.
Every stay leaves a rating that weighs on the next bookings. The company answers reviews and sorts out complaints during the stay.
What came in and what went out, booking by booking. The company sends the statement and transfers your share.
Wheeled suitcases at dawn, rubbish out at the wrong time, complaints at the owners' meeting. The company deals with it on the spot.

I live abroad. Can a management company run my rental in Ericeira and Mafra?
Yes. A management company runs the day-to-day operation on the owner's behalf: listings and prices, guest messages at any hour, check-in, cleaning, repairs and Portuguese legal deadlines. It sends a statement and transfers your share. Included services vary from one contract to another.
What are the legal obligations of an Alojamento Local in Portugal?
Registration with the municipality and the registration number in every listing, the identification plaque at the entrance, third-party liability insurance with a minimum cover of 75 000 € per claim, the report of foreign guests through SIBA within three working days, the physical and electronic complaints book and, up to 10 guests, a fire extinguisher, a fire blanket, a first aid kit and the 112 number on display (Decree-Law 128/2014 as amended by Decree-Law 76/2024, Turismo de Portugal guide).
What happens if I do not submit proof of insurance?
The municipality can ask for proof of the third-party liability insurance at any time. Without an answer within the deadline, the mayor can cancel the registration, after a prior hearing, and the rental must stop at once (articles 9 and 13-A of Decree-Law 128/2014).
How much does it cost to request a contact?
Nothing. Leave your mobile number, tick what you agree to, and a management company working in Ericeira and Mafra contacts you with its terms. If you go ahead, the company charges a commission on revenue, stated in its terms. AL em Dia is paid by the management company, not by the owner.
Where do these figures come from?
From the Registo Nacional de Alojamento Local, published by Turismo de Portugal on dados.gov.pt under the CC BY 4.0 licence. The figures on this page date from 8 November 2026. AL em Dia is not a Turismo de Portugal service.
