Entrusting Your Villa to Rental Management in Djerba
Why entrust your villa to an agency on the island, what the agency does, how you follow your income and how to get started.

Do you own a villa or house in Djerba that you do not occupy all year round? Leaving it empty is a cost with nothing in return; renting it out without follow-up is often a source of worry. Rental management means entrusting your property to an agency that takes care of everything, while you keep control of what matters: your property, your own dates of occupation and visibility on your income.
Why entrust your villa rather than manage it yourself?
Managing a rental from a distance seems simple at first. In practice, you have to:
- publish and update the listing, with good photos;
- answer enquiries, often at any hour and in several languages;
- organise guests' arrival and departure;
- arrange cleaning, linen, pool and garden upkeep;
- react quickly to a breakdown or unexpected event;
- follow payments and expenses.
An agency present on the island, like My Villa Rise in Midoun, absorbs these tasks. You save time, and your property is looked after by people who know it.
What the agency does
Our seasonal rental management covers the whole journey:
- Photos and listing: a careful presentation of the villa and its facilities, on our website available in French, English and Arabic;
- Bookings: stay requests, exchanges with travellers, availability calendar;
- Guest welcome: handing over keys, practical information, a contact reachable during the stay;
- Looking after the property: checks between stays, cleaning, upkeep, intervention if a problem arises;
- Accounts: income and expenses recorded and followed.
The owner area: see your figures live
This is one of the great strengths of management with My Villa Rise: you have an owner area where you view your bookings, your property's occupancy rate, and your income and expenses, up to date and live. No more statements arriving weeks later: you know at any moment how your villa is doing, wherever you are in the world.
What you keep, what we take care of
Entrusting your villa does not mean giving it up. You remain the owner and decision-maker: you choose your own periods of occupation, you follow your property's activity and you talk to the team whenever you wish. We handle the day-to-day: relations with guests, organisation on the ground and looking after the house.
Seasonal rental or yearly rental?
Two options meet different needs.
Seasonal rental
It suits villas with a pool and owners who want to keep periods of personal use. It requires more management (arrivals, cleaning, turnover of stays), which justifies using an agency. Our seasonal rental management page describes the service.
Yearly rental
It offers steadier operation: a settled tenant, a clear contract, an inventory with photos and rent follow-up. It suits a house you do not use at all. Find the service on the long-term rental page.
How to choose?
Ask yourself three questions: do you want to use the house yourself part of the year? Is your property suited to holiday stays (pool, proximity to beaches and Midoun)? What level of presence can you provide? The team can advise you according to your property and goals.
Preparing your villa before entrusting it
A few tips to start on the right foot:
- Make a full inventory of the house, the equipment and the furniture;
- Check the installations: electricity, plumbing, air conditioning, pool filtration;
- Equip the villa with everyday essentials (kitchen, linen, crockery);
- Put away or lock up personal belongings;
- Check your insurance and your administrative and tax situation with a qualified professional: they depend on your status and your country of residence.
How to get started
- Get in touch with the team, by WhatsApp or through the form, describing your property and expectations;
- Present your property to us: visit, photos, facilities, special points;
- Agree on the terms of the management together, in writing;
- Publication of the listing and opening of your owner area;
- First bookings and regular follow-up.
The precise terms of management are presented by the agency during your first discussion.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my villa myself?
Yes, you can plan your own periods of occupation by letting the agency know so the calendar is blocked.
How am I informed about my income?
Through your owner area, where you see your bookings, the occupancy rate, your income and your expenses.
Who welcomes the guests?
The agency team organises the welcome and remains reachable during the guests' stay.
Does my villa need a pool?
It is not compulsory, but a private pool is a major asset for holiday rentals in Djerba. For houses without a pool, yearly rental is often more suitable. The team helps you choose.
What are the management fees?
The terms of management are presented by the agency according to your property and the type of rental chosen. Contact us to discuss them.
