Under full management, Elaris takes over the entire operation around a holiday home, from booking to guest departure.

Holiday home owners often want to keep the rental income, but without dealing with bookings, guests, cleaning and minor repairs on a daily basis. That's exactly what the full management model, also known as "turnkey", is for.

Full management means one team takes over every step in the rental chain: from advertising and bookings, through administration and guest welcoming, to cleaning and property maintenance. The owner keeps ownership and a view of the business, but not the operational obligations.

Bookings and advertising

Elaris takes over the property's presence on relevant sales channels, manages enquiries and confirms bookings. Prices are adjusted to the season and demand, so the holiday home doesn't stay empty during periods when it could be booked.

Administration without the headache for the owner

Guest registration, contracts, invoices and records are part of the operations many owners find the most burdensome. Under full management, the Elaris team handles this administration entirely, in line with tourist rental regulations.

  • stay registration and guest records
  • preparing contracts and booking confirmations
  • issuing invoices to guests
  • keeping revenue records per property
  • communication with relevant authorities when needed

Guest welcoming and check-out

From the moment of booking to departure, guests get clear instructions and fast support. Elaris organises arrival, handover of keys or smart-lock codes, an introduction to the property, and check-out at the end of the stay — without the owner needing to be physically present.

Cleaning and linen laundering between bookings

Every change of guests requires thorough cleaning, changing linen and towels, and checking the condition of the property. Elaris coordinates the cleaning schedule so the holiday home is always ready before new guests arrive, with no downtime and no risk of a bad review over cleanliness.

Home maintenance and a fast response to breakdowns

The pool, garden, air conditioning, appliances and installations all need regular care. Under full management, Elaris monitors the condition of the property, plans preventive maintenance and quickly arranges repairs when a breakdown occurs, so guests aren't left without a solution during their stay.

When is the "turnkey" model the right choice?

Full management makes the most sense for owners who live far from the property, own multiple properties, don't have time for day-to-day operations, or simply want their holiday home to run professionally without their constant involvement.

The owner doesn't lose control of the business in the process — they still decide on pricing, availability and house rules, and receive regular reports from Elaris on bookings, revenue and costs.

How Elaris carries out full management

Once agreed, Elaris takes over the entire operational chain around the holiday home: presentation and advertising, booking management, administration, guest welcoming and check-out, cleaning and linen laundering, and maintenance coordination. The owner gets a single point of contact and a transparent overview of the business, instead of coordinating several different contractors themselves.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about full holiday home management

What exactly does full holiday home management mean?

Full management, also known as the "turnkey" model, means Elaris takes over every key process around the property: advertising, bookings, administration, guest check-in and check-out, cleaning, linen laundering and maintenance coordination.

How does full management differ from the basic cooperation model?

In the basic model, the owner keeps part of the operations, such as cleaning or guest welcoming. With full management, Elaris takes over the entire operational chain, and the owner keeps only oversight and business-level decision-making.

Who welcomes guests under full management?

Guest welcoming, check-in and check-out are organised entirely by the Elaris team, including pre-arrival communication, property instructions and handling any questions during the stay.

Who organises cleaning and linen laundering?

Elaris coordinates cleaning between every booking, laundering of linen and towels, and quality control of the space before the next guests arrive, so the owner doesn't have to organise the schedule themselves.

What kind of business overview does the owner get under full management?

The owner receives regular reports on bookings, occupancy, revenue and costs, along with a transparent view of all property-related activity, without needing to follow the operations on a daily basis.
