What we would build for a holiday villas
End the bank-transfer chase. Take the villa deposit by card.
A complete booking and payment system built from the ground up for your villas: a live calendar for every property, an Apple Pay or card deposit the moment a family books, and confirmations by WhatsApp and email with the gate code and the villa pinned in Apple Maps. Your cleaning and changeover crews run the week from a native iPhone app.
Built and delivered remotely from Cheshire, UK · fixed price agreed up front
What goes wrong today
Bank transfer only, 4% for a card
A UK family will not wire two thousand pounds to an unfamiliar account, and a surcharge for paying properly tells them you would rather they did. Both push them to a marketplace that takes 15% instead.
Same-day quotes typed by hand
Every enquiry is a nightly rate, dates and extras worked out in an email, then the calendar checked separately. One typo and the villa is double-booked for August.
The refund that never comes
Damage deposits and cancellations refunded by IBAN, weeks later, in the wrong currency, with a guest emailing every Monday. That is where the one-star reviews come from.
Airbnb and your own bookings clash
A villa listed on Airbnb and sold direct, with nothing stopping the same week being taken twice. The crew finds out on changeover day.
What we build for you, from the ground up
A live calendar for every villa
Each property with its own seasons, nightly and weekly rates, minimum stays and changeover days. Availability is real, and a booking reserves inside a transaction so the same week can never be sold twice.
Quotes that price themselves
Dates in, price out, with extras like transfers, cots, a chef night and pool heating priced from your own rate card, the way the quote engine we built for Cheshire Lawns & Hedges prices a garden. No more typing quotes.
Deposit by card, balance on a schedule
A booking deposit by Apple Pay or card, the balance collected automatically by card link at the date you set, and a refundable damage deposit that goes back on its own after checkout.
Confirmations with the gate code
WhatsApp and email with the villa pinned in Apple Maps, the gate code released at the right time, the WiFi password, the pool rules and who to message if the air-con stops.
Changeovers and cleaning in an iPhone app
A crew app with Saturday's changeovers, which villa is ready, linen counts and photos of anything broken, built the way CLH Work runs a gardening crew.
Owners kept in the loop
If you manage villas for other owners, each one gets a portal with their bookings, statements and photos, so the monthly spreadsheet disappears.
Airbnb and Booking.com synced
iCal sync blocks weeks both ways. Direct bookings pay no commission; the marketplaces fill the gaps.
The Apple layer your guests actually notice
The villa week on the lock screen
A Live Activity counts down to the holiday on the family's iPhone, then shows the transfer, the gate code and check-in time on the day.
A villa pass in Apple Wallet
The booking as a pass in your brand: villa name, dates, the code, and the pin. It appears on the lock screen when they arrive at the gate.
The track in, on Apple Maps
Villas are hard to find at night. One tap opens the exact turning in Apple Maps, and the check-in and checkout times add themselves as reminders.
QR for the chef and the extras
A code in the villa opens an App Clip to order a chef night, a boat trip or extra cleaning and pay by Apple Pay, with nothing installed.
Saturday on the home screen
A widget showing this week's arrivals and changeovers for the owner, and the next changeover in the Dynamic Island for the crew lead.
Payments in Türkiye, done properly
Built and running: the examples this comes from
Questions we get asked
How long does it take?
The calendar, quotes and deposits come first so next summer sells with a card deposit; the crew app and Apple features follow. We agree a dated plan on a video call, and the closed season is the right time to build.
What does it cost?
Fixed price agreed up front after a call to scope how many villas and what you sell with them. No monthly fee and no commission on bookings.
Do we need to change our bank?
No. Payments run through your own iyzico or PayTR account or your bank's virtual POS. If you are a UK company letting villas in Türkiye, we work out the right account with you on the call.
Can it work alongside Airbnb and Booking.com?
Yes. iCal sync blocks weeks both ways so nothing is sold twice, and every booking you take direct is commission-free.
Who owns it, and do you need to see the villas?
You own all of it: code, data, domain and accounts. We build and deliver remotely from Cheshire over video calls and WhatsApp; photos and a walk-through on a call are all we need.
