str market mapFrench-speaking travellers want a long-established vacation rental portal that supports both direct owner-to-traveller contact and instant booking, while owners want flexibility in how they accept bookings.
Amivac is a French vacation rental marketplace acquired by HomeToGo in 2022 that continues to operate as a distinct brand. It lists thousands of holiday accommodations, including apartments, houses, villas with pools, gîtes, and mountain chalets, across France and 45+ countries internationally.
The platform offers two booking pathways: direct contact listings where travellers message property owners and agree terms with no commission charged to guests, and instant-booking partner offers that process payment securely online. Owners receive payment seven days before guest arrival via direct bank transfer. Commission on bookings ranges from 15–25% and is deducted from the guest payment. Property owners and managers access a dedicated dashboard to manage listings, photos, pricing, and availability. A host help centre supports onboarding and compliance with local registration requirements. iCal synchronisation and channel manager connectivity are available. Most listings are in France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Italy.
Individual French homeowners who prefer negotiated terms with travellers, and professional property managers wanting access to French-speaking consumers through an established French portal.
