Your villa, your castle,
your property — visible on Google.
No booking commission.
Real estate agencies, agents, concierge services, and private owners — Propriétés De Charme creates a dedicated page for you, written and optimized by our team, with long-term ranking on Google. Your tenants contact you directly. You receive payment directly. No commission is charged on your bookings.
“Saving just one direct booking more than covers the cost of a page. Booking, Airbnb, and Abritel take between 15 and 20% on each stay—sometimes more. The PDC page, on the other hand, takes nothing. Ever.”
What
booking platforms
Booking, Airbnb, Abritel, and other booking platforms take between 15% and 20% on each stay—sometimes more depending on the visibility options you purchase. On a luxury rental costing €5,000, €10,000, or €20,000 per week, this represents considerable sums over a season. And beyond the commission, you lose something precious: the direct relationship with your guests.
Deducted directly from your rental income — even before you've welcomed your tenants. Over a 10-week season at €8,000 per week, this represents between €12,000 and €16,000 in commission.
These booking platforms do not allow you to share your contact information with tenants before a booking is confirmed. You cannot qualify your clients, communicate freely, or build a relationship of trust beforehand.
Your visibility on search engine rankings depends on their algorithm—and your advertising budget on their platform. They can downgrade your property overnight without explanation. You don't own your visibility.
Your listing on Booking or Airbnb doesn't appear in Google search results under your name—it boosts their own search engine ranking, not yours. A guest searching for your property on Google won't find you directly.
Your luxury villa is presented in the same standardized format as an ordinary apartment. No storytelling, no editorial enhancement, no bespoke page. Just a number among millions of listings.
The general terms and conditions of these platforms often favor the tenant. In case of a problem, you deal with it using their tools, according to their rules, and within their timeframes. The customer relationship isn't really yours to manage.

You are a professional —
what the portal can do for you
You have seasonal rental mandates for charming, characterful, luxury, or prestigious properties. Your properties automatically appear in the portal's search engine via software gateways. But you can go further— by featuring a property with a dedicated page custom-built by the portal.
Automatic listings via gateway: your properties published through Apimo, Hektor, Adapt'Immo, Ubiflow, or your partner software are automatically indexed in the portal's search engine—this is your basic, continuous online presence, requiring no intervention. Featured listings are a separate and complementary option —a page custom-built by the portal for a specific property, permanently indexed on Google beyond the search engine.
You manage mandates for villas, character properties, or exceptional seasonal rentals. A dedicated page for each property —written, SEO-optimized, and indexed by Google—sets you apart from your competitors and strengthens your credibility with the owners who entrust you with their properties. It's also a tangible tool to showcase when securing a mandate.
As a property agent, your personal visibility is your most valuable asset. A dedicated page for your profile or one of your rental properties on Propriétés De Charme positions you on Google for geo-targeted search queries—independently of your network and its portals. This is a visibility lever you control yourself.
You manage luxury properties on behalf of owners. A dedicated page on Charming Properties for each of your managed properties gives you direct visibility on Google — without going through booking platforms and without commissions being charged on the stays you generate through this page.
You receive an inquiry—before even calling back, send the link to the property's PDC page. The prospect will see a polished, professional, and comprehensive presentation. You can immediately start a serious discussion: what is their actual budget, their dates, their criteria? The PDC page qualifies your prospects before the first contact.
Rent directly —
save on commissions
You own a villa, a luxury apartment, a bed and breakfast, or a castle that hosts seminars or receptions. Propriétés De Charme will create a dedicated page for you —written, SEO-optimized, and permanently ranked on Google—that you can use as your direct booking tool.
Tenants who find your page via Google contact you directly. You negotiate directly. You get paid directly. No commission is taken on your bookings. Just one direct booking saved is enough to more than cover the cost of your page within 12 months.
Your PDC page can also be shared on LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp, or via email—activate your personal network to fill your calendar without relying on booking platforms. And if you're also listing on Airbnb or Booking, send your PDC page to each incoming contact to thoroughly qualify their requests before the first contact.
Important: Private listings are not indexed in the portal's search engine. A private listing on Propriétés De Charme is solely a featured listing —a dedicated, custom-built page with permanent Google ranking.

What your PDC page
brings in all cases
A renter who types "villa with pool and sea view Provence July" can land directly on your page — without going through a search engine. The PDC page is indexed permanently, independently of any third-party portal or algorithm.
Google penalizes duplicate content. Your PDC page is written once, specifically for your benefit—not a standardized text copied and pasted across 50 portals. That's exactly what Google rewards.
The portal is indexed in English — your property benefits from visibility to foreign tenants searching in France from their own countries. British, American, Belgian, Swiss — a qualified international clientele.
Your page is indexed on all search engines—Google, Bing, and others. Bing is particularly popular in English-speaking countries and professional environments. Complete coverage without any extra effort.
Send your PDC link to every incoming contact—regardless of the originating portal. The prospect has seen everything before calling you. You can immediately qualify them thoroughly: budget, dates, number of people, and their actual expectations.
Considering what a page can generate—a single direct booking saved, or an additional lead secured through your presentation—the investment is negligible. Contact customer service to learn more.
