A short-term rental business needed a site that shows its apartments at their best and books them directly.

The client

Madeira Paraíso Holiday Apartments (Apartamentos Turísticos Paraíso) is a short-term tourist accommodation facility in Funchal, Madeira Island, offering fully equipped vacation apartments for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility, without the overhead of a full hotel operation, in a market where guests decide long before they arrive.

The challenge

Guests choose an apartment on photos and details alone, long before they arrive, so the site had to show the space accurately and make booking simple. It also needed to track guest experience reviews and stay easy to maintain over the years without constant redevelopment.

What Madeira Paraíso needed, and what we built

The need

What we built

Showcase the apartment offering with a clear, appealing presence.

A simple, timeless design that puts photography and clean presentation first.

Let guests book apartments directly from the site.

A built-in booking flow connected to a third-party Property Management System.

Show the space at the quality guests expect before they arrive.

A partnership with a hospitality photography studio to capture every listing.

Improve tracking of customer experience reviews.

A review-tracking flow built into the same simple, low-maintenance site.

How we worked

  1. Visiting the property

    We visited the property to understand its strengths and define its unique selling points, ahead of any design work.

  2. Capturing it properly

    We partnered with a professional hospitality photography studio, so the visual presentation matched the quality of the apartments.

  3. Designing and building

    We created a simple, timeless design focused on clean presentation and easy navigation, then implemented it on a custom WordPress theme, with light improvements over time to keep it fresh.

The result

Travelers now see the apartments as they are, and book them without picking up the phone.

High-quality photography, an intuitive layout, and a built-in booking system from a third-party PMS have contributed to more direct bookings and positive guest feedback.

What the site does

  • Presents every apartment with professional photography
  • Books directly through a PMS-powered reservation system
  • Tracks guest experience reviews
  • Runs on a simple, timeless, low-maintenance design
