Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in The Alentejo: Comporta and Melides beaches; Évora's UNESCO centre; Alentejo wine estates; Rural design hotels and villas. Guests I price for: Lisbon weekenders and international couples and families on 3 to 7 night stays. Where I start: Coastal summer premiums, villa weekly rates and Portuguese Alojamento Local registration.
For rural design hotels, herdades with rooms and small coastal hotels, I work on the split between Lisbon weekend demand and international weeks, on packages built around wine and dining, and on the rate gap between the two inland seasons, using the habits I built running revenue for larger hotels.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in The Alentejo.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
Running revenue for a hotel in the Alentejo means handling two seasons that refuse to line up. A Comporta property lives on July, August and Lisbon weekends, while a hotel in Évora or Monsaraz earns most in spring and autumn. I manage each calendar on its own terms, set length-of-stay rules for summer weekends and carry the quiet winter on weekend packages rather than weekday cuts.
My first task is to pull a year of bookings by arrival month and source, so I can see whether the hotel really behaves like a coastal or an inland business.
I keep coastal villas open for Lisbon escapes with fireplace weekends and price the estates for quiet breaks, never cutting so deep that summer guests learn to wait for a bargain.
Inland this is my top band: wildflowers, mild days and wine tastings fill Évora and Monsaraz, while Comporta weekends warm up with Lisbon families from late May.
The design-led core of the coast with tight supply and international villa guests; I protect full August weeks and price for families who rebook the same house each summer.
My full The Alentejo calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for The Alentejo.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Prices below are for a hotel of up to 20 rooms; larger hotels move up the size bands on the hotel plans page. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.

Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in The Alentejo: July and August on the coast, plus spring and autumn in Évora. April to June: Inland this is my top band: wildflowers, mild days and wine tastings fill Évora and Monsaraz, while Comporta weekends warm up with Lisbon families from late May. July to August: Coastal weeks carry the year, so I release August in full weeks only, note the MEO Sudoeste festival dates further south, and keep inland houses on steady rates with cooling highlighted. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Pool, shade and cooling in inland properties, because a monte near Évora without air conditioning cannot hold a July rate, however beautiful the photographs of the plains look.
Treat Lisbon long weekends and Portuguese holidays such as 25 April and 10 June as coastal weekend premiums. Next: price harvest weeks in September at the wine estates for guests who want to see the vindima. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a The Alentejo property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in The Alentejo: December to February. November to December: Christmas and New Year at a herdade sell to Lisbon families, so I price those nights properly and let the rest of the period run on weekend-led offers. January to March: I keep coastal villas open for Lisbon escapes with fireplace weekends and price the estates for quiet breaks, never cutting so deep that summer guests learn to wait for a bargain.
Comporta villas opened to 2-night stays in August, breaking the full weeks families want and alojamento Local registration missing from listings, or advertised capacity larger than the registered one. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in The Alentejo, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in The Alentejo, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. The Alentejo sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and luxury agencies. April to June: Inland this is my top band: wildflowers, mild days and wine tastings fill Évora and Monsaraz, while Comporta weekends warm up with Lisbon families from late May.
Comporta and Carvalhal: The design-led core of the coast with tight supply and international villa guests; I protect full August weeks and price for families who rebook the same house each summer. Melides and the Grândola coast and Évora and Monsaraz get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Rural design hotels and villas, Comporta and Melides beaches and Évora's UNESCO centre are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in The Alentejo. November to December: Christmas and New Year at a herdade sell to Lisbon families, so I price those nights properly and let the rest of the period run on weekend-led offers.
