Book direct

The advantages of booking direct

The booking apps take a cut and add a markup. Book with us directly and that value comes back to you — a better price, more flexibility, and a warmer welcome.

The same apartment, three ways to book

OTA prices include the commission and markup they add. Our direct price doesn’t — so it’s simply lower. (Illustrative example for a typical night.)
