Ryanair pulled out. Tourist numbers dropped 30%. Now what?
When Ryanair cancelled its routes to Ponta Delgada, the impact was immediate. Fewer budget flights meant fewer short-stay tourists — and for owners who relied on Airbnb bookings to fill their calendar, that gap is real. Tourist arrivals on São Miguel dropped by around 30%.
But remote workers don't book through Ryanair. They come for months, not weekends. They need a proper home with fast Wi-Fi, not a tourist apartment. That's a completely different market — and one that's still growing, regardless of flight schedules.
This is the moment to switch models
Owners who depended on tourist turnover are now actively looking for a more stable alternative. Mid-term rental to remote workers fills that gap — with less effort, less wear, and more predictable income.

New AL Legislation — We Help You Navigate It
The new Azorean short-term rental regulations have made it more complex and costly to operate tourist accommodation. Mid-term rentals (31+ days) often fall under different rules — giving owners like you a significant regulatory and financial advantage. We help you make the switch confidently.
Why It Makes Sense
Why mid-term rentals?
The new Azorean legislation has changed the game. Mid-term lets (31+ days) offer significant advantages.
Regulation Friendly
Mid-term contracts (31+ days) often bypass new AL short-stay restrictions, giving you full peace of mind.
Stable Occupancy
Remote workers stay 1–6 months. Fewer transitions, less turnover, less wear on your property.
Higher Yield
Mid-term rents to remote workers consistently outperform local long-term leases — by up to €600/mo.
Screened Tenants
Employment verification, references, and a digital interview before they arrive.
Full Support
Contracts, inventory, check-in/out — our team handles it all.
Commission Only
No upfront fees. We earn only when you earn.

Common Questions
Everything you want to know
Straight answers to the questions every property owner asks us first.
We work on a commission-only model — typically 10–15% of the monthly rent, agreed before listing. There are no sign-up fees, no monthly charges, and no hidden costs. We only earn when you earn.
All tenants sign a proper mid-term rental agreement (31+ days), compliant with Portuguese and Azorean legislation. The contract is prepared by us, reviewed by you, and signed digitally. You keep a copy of everything.
Mid-term rentals (31+ days) are generally treated differently from short-term tourist accommodation under the new Azorean regulations. In most cases, you do not need an AL licence for stays over 31 days. We help you understand exactly where your property stands.
Most properties are matched within 2–4 weeks of listing. We have an active pipeline of remote workers looking for homes on São Miguel. During peak season (April–October) it can be faster.
All tenants pay a security deposit (typically one month's rent) before moving in. We also conduct a detailed inventory check-in and check-out. Any damage is documented and deducted from the deposit.
No. We handle check-in, check-out, tenant communications, and any day-to-day issues through our local representative on São Miguel. You can manage everything remotely.
We list studios, apartments, and houses on São Miguel. The key requirements are: reliable internet (we test it), a dedicated workspace, and a clean, well-maintained property. We do not list properties that don't meet our remote-work standards.
Yes. We work around your availability. Just let us know which periods you want to keep for personal use and we'll only list the property for the remaining months.
Still have questions?
Our local representative is available Mon–Sat, 9:00–18:00 Azores time.
