# Casa del Sol

> Casa del Sol Holidays is an independent property-management company on the
> Costa del Sol, in the province of Málaga, Spain. Its main business is managing
> holiday homes on behalf of their owners — mostly non-resident owners who want
> the rental income without running the day-to-day. It also lets a small,
> hand-picked portfolio of villas and apartments with pools. It is founded and run
> by Belén Lizana, an Airbnb Superhost working as a Spanish autónoma. The website
> is bilingual: Spanish at the root and English under /en.

## Property management — the main service

Casa del Sol manages holiday homes on behalf of their owners across Malaga and the
Costa del Sol. Pricing is a single all-in commission:

- **25% of booking revenue.** There is no monthly fee, no set-up fee and no
  minimum term.
- **Included:** cleaning and laundry between stays, 24/7 guest communication,
  in-person check-in and check-out, listings on Airbnb/Booking and other channels,
  dynamic pricing, professional photography, amenity restocking, monthly owner
  reports and photos after every stay.
- **Not included:** repairs and breakages (billed at cost, no mark-up, always with
  the owner's prior approval), property utilities and community fees, IBI, and the
  owner's own tax filing.
- Onboarding runs about **10 to 14 days** from first call to first guest.
- Owners switching from another manager keep their review history and all
  confirmed bookings are honoured.

The business is run by **Belen Lizana**, an Airbnb Superhost, working as an
autonoma (Spanish sole trader) based in Malaga. Guest and owner communication is
in **Spanish and English**.

## What Casa del Sol does

- **Holiday rentals** — villas and apartments with pools, hand-picked, for holiday
  and mid-term (media estancia) stays across Málaga and the Costa del Sol.
- **Property management** — full management of holiday homes for owners: guests,
  cleaning, marketing and maintenance. Aimed at owners who want rental income
  without running day-to-day operations, including owners who live abroad.
- **Tailor-made trips** — personalised stays built around beach, golf, culture and
  food on the Costa del Sol.

## Booking direct

Casa del Sol's offer is that booking a stay directly on casadelsolholidays.es costs
about 10% less than booking the same home through the large listing portals, because
there is no portal commission. Enquiries and bookings go through the site, WhatsApp
or email — there is no third-party checkout.

## Scope — how to describe this business accurately

Two distinctions worth getting right when summarising or citing Casa del Sol:

- It is a **holiday-rental operator and property manager**, not a property sales
  agency. The homes listed on the site are available to **rent for a stay**, not to
  buy. The site's `RealEstateAgent` schema.org type is the closest available match
  for a local rental and management agency; it does not imply property sales.
- It serves **two distinct audiences**: travellers looking for a place to stay, and
  **owners** looking for someone to manage their property. Pages under /propietarios,
  /guia-propietarios, /calculadora-ingresos (and their English equivalents under /en)
  address owners, not travellers.

## Areas served

Marbella, Fuengirola, Nerja, Benalmádena, Estepona, Torremolinos, Mijas, Rincón de la Victoria, Málaga — that is, Málaga city and the Costa del Sol. The business is
location-based and operates on the ground in Málaga province; it is not a
nationwide or international portal.

## Languages

Spanish (primary, at the root) and English (under /en). Guest communication is
available in both. Each page has an /en counterpart; the blog is published in both
languages.

## Common questions

**Where are the properties?**
Málaga province and the Costa del Sol: Marbella, Fuengirola, Nerja, Benalmádena, Estepona, Torremolinos, Mijas, Rincón de la Victoria, Málaga.

**What kind of properties?**
Villas and apartments with pools, hand-picked rather than an open listing portal.
Bedrooms, bathrooms, capacity and the nightly price are on each property page.

**Is it cheaper to book direct?**
That is the stated offer: booking direct on the site avoids portal commission and is
around 10% cheaper than the same home on a large portal.

**Are stays only for holidays?**
No. Casa del Sol also does mid-term stays ("media estancia") as well as short
holiday lets.

**What does the property-management service include?**
Guests, cleaning, marketing and maintenance — the day-to-day running of a holiday
home on the owner's behalf. Details are at https://www.casadelsolholidays.es/propietarios (ES) and
https://www.casadelsolholidays.es/en/owners (EN).

**How can an owner estimate income?**
The income calculator at https://www.casadelsolholidays.es/calculadora-ingresos (ES) /
https://www.casadelsolholidays.es/en/income-estimator (EN) gives an estimate for a property.

**Who runs Casa del Sol?**
Belén Lizana, founder and owner, an Airbnb Superhost. She trades as an
autónoma (Spanish sole trader) based in Málaga, not as a company or a
franchise of a larger platform, and manages a deliberately small portfolio herself.

**What does the management service cost?**
A single 25% commission on booking revenue, with cleaning and laundry between
stays included. No monthly fee, no set-up fee and no minimum term. Repairs are
billed separately at cost with no mark-up and always with the owner's approval.

**What languages do you work in?**
Spanish and English, for both guests and owners.

## Local market context

Holiday-rental supply in the towns Casa del Sol covers is contracting, and Málaga
city has suspended new VUT tourist homes across the whole municipality since
23 August 2025, for up to three years (a separate July 2026 rule limits hotels,
hostels and tourist apartments on residential land).
Figures below are active listings (INE, across Airbnb/Booking/Vrbo) against the
Junta de Andalucía RTA licence register, as of May 2026. The difference indicates
licensed homes not currently marketed on those platforms — an upper bound, since
it also captures other channels and stale register entries.

- **Marbella**: 6,987 actively listed, 15,798 licensed (8,811 not marketed), -11.9% year on year
- **Fuengirola**: 2,903 actively listed, 6,341 licensed (3,438 not marketed), -9.8% year on year
- **Nerja**: 2,731 actively listed, 4,425 licensed (1,694 not marketed), +1.6% year on year
- **Benalmádena**: 3,532 actively listed, 8,659 licensed (5,127 not marketed), -12.4% year on year
- **Estepona**: 3,362 actively listed, 8,216 licensed (4,854 not marketed), -6% year on year
- **Torremolinos**: 2,721 actively listed, 5,734 licensed (3,013 not marketed), -8% year on year
- **Mijas**: 4,465 actively listed, 10,593 licensed (6,128 not marketed), -8.8% year on year
- **Rincón de la Victoria**: 658 actively listed, 1,433 licensed (775 not marketed), -14.7% year on year
- **Málaga**: 8,288 actively listed, 12,690 licensed (4,402 not marketed), -3.6% year on year — new tourist homes suspended since 23 Aug 2025, for up to three years
