Success Story

The opinion of Alain, who generates more than €100,000 in income each year.

Alain owns a magnificent villa in Saint-Gilles in the Gard region of France. He signed up with Homerez around 2020, with the aim of maximising his bookings. He very quickly optimised his advert with the advice of his consultant, both in terms of the content of his advert and his price scale. He was also freed up from managing bookings and payments, and quickly saved several hours of work a week.

Located in Saint-Gilles, in the heart of Occitanie and at the gateway to the Camargue, Alain's villa is a spacious 400 m² holiday rental that can accommodate up to 26 people with its 11 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. Ideal for holidays with family or friends, it offers a private swimming pool, a large terrace, a modern equipped kitchen and many included services such as linen and Wi-Fi. Close to beaches, vineyards and the iconic sites of the Camargue, this villa combines comfort, conviviality and a privileged location for a successful stay in the south of France.

Before his collaboration with Homerez:

Alain struggled to attract travellers despite having a large family villa. His listing lacked visibility and his prices were not optimised, resulting in low occupancy rates. In addition, manually managing bookings and payments took up a lot of his time, causing stress and an disproportionate workload. Thanks to Homerez, Alain benefited from professional advertising on numerous platforms, optimised photos and market-appropriate pricing. His villa is now competitive and visible to a wide audience, which has increased his bookings. Homerez also manages communication and payments, allowing him to focus on welcoming guests and enjoying regular income without constraints.

Homerez made it easy for me to reach the maximum potential of my Villa and to make a substantial turnover from it. They really understood my expectations and needs and delivered a top quality service!

The points of interest

Alain's villa, at the gateway to the Camargue, immerses travellers in a world where traditions, culture and wild landscapes come together. Saint-Gilles, with its UNESCO-listed abbey church, bears witness to the historical importance of the region. Nearby, Nîmes and Arles reveal the wonders of Roman architecture, from the arenas to the Maison Carrée. But it is the Camargue that leaves the most lasting impression: marshes inhabited by flamingos, white horses and bulls, ponds and reed-lined paths. Nature lovers will find happiness in the nature reserves and horse riding, while those seeking relaxation can enjoy the wild beaches of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. The local terroir, with its Languedoc wines and Mediterranean specialities, completes this sensory immersion. Between universal heritage and timeless landscapes, Saint-Gilles and its surroundings offer an unforgettable travel experience.
