Meribel

We currently have 4 prestigious properties for rent in the resort of Méribel and 15 others in Courchevel, still within the 3 Valleys ski area. We are also present in the Portes du Soleil resorts (Les Gets and Morzine) and in several other renowned resorts in the French Alps (Chamonix, Alpe d'Huez, Saint-Gervais, etc.).

Absolutely! Helping them recover 20% of the price of their investment is part of our mission, and we have done what is necessary to develop real expertise in the field of tax refund operations. To date, we are considered the most rigorous player in the French Alps in this area.

By joining Emerald Stay, you will be accompanied by a member of our team who will become your assistant. This expert will answer all your questions on VAT recovery because he will know your property and its characteristics perfectly well, which will allow him to provide you with advice tailored to your situation.

All of the eligible clients we have supported have succeeded in recovering the VAT on their rental investment. This is because they have been well advised and meet all the criteria to use this device. From the provision of hotel amenities to the invoicing and accounting of the personal stays of our owners, we make sure to respect the directives on this subject carefully.

Thanks to our on-site team and our experts available remotely seven days a week. We can respond to any customer request. It could be to contact and make a reservation for a starred chef to make dinner at home. Or even the organization of transfers from and to the airport.

We also ensure the complete maintenance of goods, repairs, preventive or curative maintenance, safety audits, cleaning, etc.

Customers who wish can organize their stay in total autonomy thanks to our digital concierge service. Service is also available to our owners, who can call our experts at any time to get an answer on VAT recovery procedures, for example.

You will find our properties offered for rent on the largest technological platforms: Airbnb, booking.com, Homeaway or even Expedia. Our ads benefit from optimal visibility due to the privileged status thanks to our services' quality and seriousness. For instance, Super host status on Airbnb or Preferred Partner on Booking.com.

We also want to publish our announcements on more confidential sites that correspond in every way to the clientele we are targeting: platforms specializing in luxury real estate, international travel agencies, etc.

Finally, an increasingly important part of our reservations being made directly, we also publish our announcements on our website equipped with our reservation platform. We have dedicated a team of web experts to continuously improve the user experience on our site and gain visibility on search engines to facilitate direct bookings.

The only way to find out is to contact us! Do not hesitate to request a rental simulation from our site. A member of the team will get in touch with you soon. He will audit your chalet or apartment according to our criteria which concern both the property and its location.

We first endeavour to assess the property's potential concerning our customers' expectations: living space, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, presence of a spa or a hammam, a terrace or a garden, etc.

We then assess its surroundings: does it have a meaningful view? Is it near the ski lifts? Etc.

But beyond these objective criteria, what is important to us is to collaborate with owners who share the same vision of excellence and prestigious real estate.

To date, we have never been faced with this problem because we take special care in selecting our tenants. Before handing over the keys, we verify the identity of our customers and then make a deposit. As we are also present on-site, our teams can ensure that stays go smoothly of any kind and intervene if necessary if our customers face a breakdown.

Of course, all these precautions cannot eliminate the risk of degradation. It is why we have taken out comprehensive home liability insurance with coverage of several million euros so that if anything were to happen in one of our properties, we can remedy it and return your property to you in the condition in which you entrusted it to us!

Our owners receive income from their property quarterly. We pay them a net and final amount because we settle all the charges and supplier invoices. As a result, you don't have to anticipate new expenses or worry about any re-invoicing.

You can follow in real-time the income generated by your apartment or chalet. Nothing could be simpler: go to the application that we have specifically developed for our owners.

Homeowners who use us to rent their property earn on average 30% more than our competitors. The reason is simple: we are constantly seeking to optimize the occupancy rate of our properties through various actions and to market each night at the highest possible rate. To achieve this, we have dedicated teams of experts in new technologies, real estate, finance and hospitality for all the services we offer to our owners and customers.

In addition to improving the rental performance of your property, we take care of all aspects of its lease so that you no longer have to worry about a thing. All the constraints that usually weigh on the owners of furnished tourist accommodation are managed by our teams.

You gain comfort and serenity while receiving income often much higher than you could receive without our support. It is why, to date, all of our owners have renewed their confidence in us, thus allowing us to take the leadership position in the French Alps market. The quality of our services and our expertise were also recognized by Shortyz, who awarded us the award for best leisure asset manager.

Sure! Your apartment or chalet belongs to you, and as such, you are free to stay there whenever you wish. All you need to do is consult the reservation schedule from the owner's app and then block the dates that interest you for your stay. At the same time, we will help you account for these private stays as they should meet the criteria related to VAT recovery on your investment.

It is determined by us and, more precisely, by our team of engineers responsible for defining the highest possible price to rent your property for each moment of the year. To achieve this, our experts have developed an algorithm based on some forty real estate indicators allowing the market and the evolution of supply and demand to be analyzed in real-time. Thus, we maintain a high occupancy rate for our properties by being responsive and adjusting the price to demand, even during off-peak periods. But rest assured, the defined price always remains in correlation with the property's standing, out of the question to sell it off to fill the calendar!

By doing so, we manage to increase the rental income of our owners by 30% on average. But for that, we need you to trust us. If you are not ready to fully entrust the pricing policy for your property to us, unfortunately, we will not be able to work together.

Yes, our contract provides a three-year engagement period with the possibility of withdrawal after 12 months if you are not satisfied with our services.

Why three years? Because we know from experience that a property located in Méribel will reach its rental potential after 18 to 24 months. Promoting a property and benefiting from the recommendations of guests who have stayed in the location there takes time. We will do all we can to achieve our objectives regarding your property's occupancy rate and profitability as quickly as possible. We believe that the efforts made deserve your trust in us over this period. To date, none of our owners has wanted to interrupt their collaboration with us, even beyond the contractual commitment period. Therefore, we are confident about our ability to make you want to work with us well beyond these three years.

Absolutely! The traffic generated by significant events is taken into account in calculating the prices of our rentals. We can cite among these events the final of the Ski World Cup in March 2022 or the 2023 Worlds, the Méribel Trail or the Méribel Golf show in August.

We also determine our rates for the high season according to the school holiday calendars of the nationalities most represented in Méribel: the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Belgium, in addition to France, of course

We pay particular attention to offering excellent visibility to our advertisements, on our site, of course, but also on the leading booking platforms. We work hard to provide an impeccable level of service and thus obtain a privileged status and reflect quality on these sites, such as the status of Superhost on Airbnb or Preferred Partner on Booking, which guarantees us that our ads are highlighted.

But this visibility alone is not enough to attract customers. It is still necessary to offer the right goods at the right prices. We constantly adapt the nightly rate to the moment's demand to always stay in tune with the market, regardless of the time of year. Thus, depending on school holidays, events taking place in Méribel or the weather, our prices are adjusted to always be attractive and well-positioned compared to the competition.

We are also carrying out targeted marketing actions in connection with our CRM to inform our clients and partner agencies of our best current offers.

The combination of all these efforts allows us to achieve such a high occupancy rate for our rentals in all seasons.

Absolutely! We take care of everything, including urgent interventions necessitated by a breakdown, a leak or any other situation. Customers can reach us very easily via the digital concierge service or by phone to inform us of the problem. Our on-site manager will take care of finding the right solution, so you don't have to worry about anything since both preventive and curative maintenance is part of our missions, along with general home maintenance and cleaning.
