Vacation Rental Management in Cadaqués and the Costa Brava

Brava Experience provides full-service vacation rental management for property owners on the Costa Brava.

We take care of the entire operation, including property setup, listing management, pricing, guest communication, check-ins, cleaning coordination, maintenance and day-to-day property care.

Our service is designed to be hands-on and tailored. Each property is managed individually, with clear standards and ongoing oversight, ensuring a consistent guest experience while protecting the condition and long-term value of your home.

In short, we handle the full management process so you can enjoy the benefits of renting your property without the operational burden.

Your property can be listed on the main vacation rental platforms, such as Airbnb and Booking, as well as through direct booking channels, depending on what best suits your goals.

We take a flexible and consultative approach to distribution. While major platforms often provide strong visibility, we understand that some owners may prefer not to list on specific OTAs for personal, ethical, or strategic reasons. In these cases, we work together to define a distribution strategy that aligns with your preferences.

Importantly, your property listings always remain under your ownership. Brava Experience operates as a co-host and manager, meaning that if you ever decide to stop working with us, you keep full control of your listings, reviews, and positioning—without needing to start from scratch.

The property owner always remains the owner of the listing and guest reviews.

Brava Experience works as a co-host and manager, never as the owner of the account or the listing. This means that all reviews, ratings, and positioning built over time belong to you.

If you ever decide to stop working with us, your listing remains fully active and intact, with no loss of visibility, reviews, or performance history. This approach ensures transparency, long-term security, and complete control for the property owner.

Yes. In addition to working with major booking platforms, we actively support and manage direct bookings.

Our goal is to build a healthy and sustainable booking mix, where OTAs provide visibility while direct reservations help reduce commission costs and strengthen long-term performance. We handle enquiries, payments, guest communication and booking conditions with the same professional standards as platform reservations.

Direct bookings are always managed transparently and in agreement with the property owner, ensuring consistency across pricing, rules and guest experience.

Yes, absolutely. You always retain full control over your property’s availability.

Personal stays can be blocked in the calendar at any time. We also provide owners with access to our property management system (PMS), allowing you to view the full booking calendar in real time and block dates directly whenever needed.

All rental activity is managed around your personal use. Pricing, minimum stays, and check-in rules are adjusted accordingly, ensuring that your property remains your home first, while still being professionally managed.

Yes. Brava Experience is based locally in Cadaqués and operates directly in the area. This local presence allows us to coordinate guest arrivals, cleaning, maintenance, property checks and day-to-day issues more effectively.

For owners who do not live in Cadaqués full time, having a local point of contact is especially important. We stay close to the property and keep owners informed when something needs attention.

Your property will be managed on a day-to-day basis by Brava Experience’s local operational team, supported and supervised directly by Pedro, the company’s founder.

Daily operations such as guest check-ins, cleaning coordination, maintenance, and issue resolution are handled locally by trusted professionals based in Cadaqués and the surrounding area. This ensures quick response times and hands-on care whenever needed.

Pedro remains personally involved in the management of each property, overseeing performance, communication, and key decisions. Owners benefit from a single, clear point of contact, combined with a reliable local team that knows the property and the area well.

Our fees are clear, transparent, and agreed in advance with each property owner.

We work with a performance-based fee structure, meaning we do not charge fixed fees. Our remuneration is always linked to the income generated by your property, ensuring that our interests are fully aligned with yours.

Fees are calculated based on the net amount received by the owner, that is, the actual payout that reaches your bank account after any OTA commissions when applicable. This approach avoids double commissions and keeps the model fair and transparent.

All services included in the management agreement are clearly defined from the start, with no hidden costs or unexpected charges. Our goal is to build long-term relationships based on trust, clarity, and shared objectives.

Brava Experience combines hands-on management, local execution, and full transparency in a way that larger or more generic management companies often can’t offer.

We work as co-hosts, not as owners of your listings. This means you always retain full ownership of your accounts, reviews, and positioning, with no lock-in or loss of control if you ever decide to move on.

Our focus is exclusively on vacation rental management, with a tailored approach for each property. From pricing and distribution strategy to guest experience and day-to-day care, every decision is made with the specific property and owner in mind.

Finally, our performance-based fee structure ensures full alignment of interests: we only earn when your property performs. Combined with local teams on the ground and direct involvement from the founder, this results in a management model built on trust, consistency, and long-term value.
