More than a stay, a way of living.

FERO works with selected homes that have character, aesthetic identity and the potential to offer a calm, premium stay. We look for properties that align with the brand’s slow living positioning rather than generic short-term rentals.

FERO operates throughout Portugal. Each property is reviewed individually to ensure it is aligned with the FERO identity, guest profile and slow living positioning.

Our management fee is 16% of the selling price of each reservation. The onboarding process is quoted separately, according to the property’s needs, level of preparation and content requirements.After receiving the property details, we prepare a tailored proposal within 48 hours, with clear conditions and no unnecessary complexity.

The onboarding process includes property review, information gathering, operational preparation, launch coordination and the setup needed to position the home correctly before it goes live.

FERO manages the property’s positioning across the main online platforms and applies a dynamic pricing strategy based on seasonality, demand and performance. The objective is not just occupancy, but thoughtful revenue optimisation.

The contract runs for 1 year and is renewable for equal periods. However, either party may terminate the agreement at any time with 60 days’ prior notice. All terms are defined clearly from the beginning so that the partnership starts with transparency and confidence.

When required, we can support owners with operational readiness, including AL-related preparation, insurance guidance, safety requirements and the digital processes connected to guest stays.

FERO is not positioned as an in-house cleaning or maintenance company. However, we can coordinate trusted local partners and keep owners informed so that the home remains well prepared and guest-ready.

For suitable homes, yes. Depending on the property and the owner’s preferences, we may support small retreats, intimate gatherings, brand stays or other carefully curated moments that fit the home’s positioning.

Yes. While we have deep local roots as a villa management company in the Douro Valley, FERO operates as a property management company across Portugal, reviewing each home individually for fit with our slow living positioning.
