Why owners in Bordeaux choose Pinnacle Path
In Bordeaux the gap between an average listing and a well-run one is rarely the property — it is under-priced shoulder weeks, over-reliance on a single channel, and lagging guest response. We fix each of those before we touch anything cosmetic. Our revenue team re-prices every listing daily against Vinexpo demand, comparable RevPAR in Chartrons and Saint-Pierre, and forward booking pace.
Compliance is handled in-house. Bordeaux meublé de tourisme registration and Article L324 declaration handled in-house. Accounting arrives as a single monthly gross-to-net summary, itemised line by line, with no hidden platform mark-ups.
Where we operate in Bordeaux
We focus on the Bordeaux neighbourhoods where premium short-stay demand actually clears: Chartrons, Saint-Pierre, Hôtel de Ville, Bacalan, Caudéran, Saint-Michel. District-level differences in guest mix and booking lead time mean a one-calendar-fits-all approach consistently leaves revenue behind.
If your home sits beyond these districts we will still run the analysis, and we onboard only where we are confident of above-market RevPAR.
How we price Bordeaux short-term rentals
The Apr – Oct, harvest Sep–Oct window does the heavy lifting in Bordeaux, but the 18–32% ADR uplift our owners typically see comes from the shoulder months. We use a proprietary model that blends competitor pricing, booking-window pace, length-of-stay mix and event signals (Vinexpo, Bordeaux Fête le Vin, harvest season) — re-running every 24 hours.
We tighten minimum stays around peak demand and relax them when the calendar softens. The result is occupancy of around 72% blended across the year on a typical Bordeaux portfolio property.
