Field notes

Built on the coast, for the coast.

Elniey is designed around the shape of a real Portuguese portfolio — a mix of licensed short-stay flats in Lisbon, restored village houses in the Alentejo, and coastal villas from Cascais down to Vila Real de Santo António. The platform speaks the local vocabulary: alojamento local, RNAL registration, SEF Boletim de Alojamento, fatura recibo, IMI, IUC.

We were founded in 2016 by three former operators who ran a hundred-and-forty-key portfolio through Airbnb, Booking and Rentalia — before there was a single tool that could hold all three at once. Everything here started as a fix for something that had gone wrong at a check-in in August.

“We took a hundred and twenty units off three separate PMS tools onto Elniey in a single April weekend. The channel manager caught up in ninety seconds. The next question was what to do with all the time.”

Compliance

Portuguese law, Portuguese-shaped.

Every reservation raises a certified fatura recibo, every guest over sixteen is declared to the SEF within the statutory three-day window, and every property record carries its RNAL number and licence renewal date. When Turismo de Portugal updates a rule — and they do — the platform absorbs it before the deadline, not after.

Our compliance module is not an add-on. It is the reason a Elniey operator has not been fined by Turismo de Portugal since we started keeping records in 2018.

Get on the platform

The onboarding rota opens on the first Monday of every month.

A member of our Lisbon team will schedule a discovery call within one business day. Onboarding a portfolio takes on average six weeks — half of that is spent migrating your historical financials, cleanly.
