Holiday rental managementin Cádiar
Cádiar
Cádiar is a wine village of the Alta Alpujarra, on the river that shares its name. Stays here are slower: a bodega, a square, and a house that needs to feel warm in January as well as pretty in June.
Letting a house in Cádiar
January is part of the season here. A cold house does not get a second booking, however nice June looked.
- Village homes and small fincas booked by the week
- Guests researching the wine route and the high villages
- We look after the practical things: heat, water, and a local contact
The fee is 20% of the net rent, plus IVA. That is the listing, the messages, check-in, a hotel-grade clean, and someone going to the house when a message will not fix it. You block the weeks you want it yourself. Those weeks are not sold.

Between one guest and the next
01
The way in is written down
The note for Cádiar says where to leave the car. A pin on its own is how people arrive annoyed. A pin on a map is not enough when the last turning looks wrong.
02
Guests stay for the week
Most people who book Cádiar stay for several nights, not a single night on the way to somewhere else. A quiet week is not priced like a full one in August.
03
The house is checked before they arrive
Heat, water, a light that works, and the pool if the house has one. A fault found in the afternoon is better than one the guest reports.
04
The weeks you want stay blocked
The calendar is held in one place. The weeks you want the house yourself come off before anyone can book them.
Who you talk to
Lissy & Mario
Lissy and Mario live around Almuñécar. The houses they run are on this coast and in the villages above it, so a same-day visit is a normal Tuesday, not a special arrangement.
For a house in Cádiar, this is who you talk to. Same phone as the rest of Costa Tropical.
+34 742 01 07 75Questions owners ask
The same answers we give on the phone, for a house in Cádiar.
What do you charge to look after a house in Cádiar?
Twenty percent of the net rent, plus IVA. Photos, the listing, the messages, check-in, the clean between guests, and the call when a tap or a lock needs a person are inside that. There is not a second invoice for being on the booking sites.
Can we still stay in the house ourselves?
Yes. You block the dates and those weeks are not sold. Tell Lissy and Mario before the calendar goes live, particularly if you want August or the days around Easter. Owner weeks and guest weeks colliding is how the bad reviews start.
Does the house need a tourist licence?
If holiday guests are paying to stay, Andalusia expects the house on the Registro de Turismo. We walk through what that asks for, and we can put you with someone local who files it. We do not take bookings on a house that is not allowed to take them.
Who actually has the keys?
Lissy and Mario, or one of the cleaners they already use along this coast. Not a courier meeting your guest from a pin they have never checked. They live around Almuñécar, which is why a same-day visit is ordinary.
Something breaks on a Saturday. Then what?
Someone goes. You hear what it was and what it cost. The guest is not left writing to you in another country while the water runs cold. Small things get sorted. Anything that needs your say-so waits for you, unless the guest cannot stay without it.
Where do guests find the house?
Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. The description is written for this house, and the price follows Cádiar, not a chart for the whole of Spain. Guests researching the wine route and the high villages
What is easy to get wrong about Cádiar?
January is part of the season here. A cold house does not get a second booking, however nice June looked. Village homes and small fincas booked by the week. We would rather say that plainly than dress the listing up.
We live abroad. Does check-in still work?
That is the usual arrangement. The note for Cádiar says where to leave the car. A pin on its own is how people arrive annoyed. The number the guest calls is a local one.
What does the clean cover?
Linen, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, and a look around before the next key goes out. If the last guest left the terrace in a state, that is dealt with before the next one sees it. A photograph of a made bed is not the same as someone having been in the house.
How do we start?
Call or write to Lissy and Mario. They will want to see the house, or at least the rooms and the way in, before anyone promises a season. Then the licence, the weeks you are keeping, and a realistic date for the first guest.
Also in Costa Tropical
Lissy & Mario look after the neighbouring towns as well. Same people, same standard, a different road.
