Luxury short-term rental management that actually maximizes your investment
Portugal is a dream.
Managing property is a nightmare.
If you’ve tried to own or invest in a short-term rental in Portugal, you already know:
emails go unanswered, guests wait hours for replies, and your “property manager”
couldn’t care less about your profit.
That’s where STR Portugal comes in.
We’re a U.S.-based company with a full-time hospitality team on the ground in Portugal
and our only mission is to make your property perform like a top-tier investment.
We treat your property like a business.
Because it is one.
Most local agencies just list your property on Airbnb and hope for bookings.
We don’t hope. We market.
- Dynamic pricing & listing optimization
- Paid digital ads that drive direct bookings
- Influencer & social campaigns
- Guest retargeting via email & newsletters
We take everything we know from digital marketing and apply it to short-term rentals.
So you get higher occupancy, higher nightly rates, and higher profits.

Hi, I’m Nathan Robinson, founder of STR Portugal. And yes, I’m obsessed with short- term rentals.
I’ve spent my entire career in digital marketing, building and scaling businesses that convert.
Then I took those skills and applied them to real estate and the results were ridiculous.
In the U.S., I built a luxury cabin in Maine that dominates its extremely competitive market year-round.
In Portugal, within just two months of launching my property in Lagos, it became a top 1% listing in one of the most competitive STR markets in the country.
That wasn’t luck. It was hard work and smart marketing.
While most “property managers” simply upload a few photos and wait for Airbnb’s algorithm to do the work, I’m obsessed with optimization.
Dynamic pricing. Split-testing listing titles. Professional photography. Paid traffic. Guest experience that drives repeat bookings.
When I reached out to local management companies in Portugal, I quickly realized most of them were the opposite. Slow, reactive, and unmotivated.
So I decided to build the company I wished existed: one that actually cares how much money you make.
That’s the DNA of STR Portugal.
We’re not another management agency. We’re investors running a brand that treats your property like an asset, not a listing.
