Ranges are indicative, reflect a typical rental home in each area and vary with size and condition; they are subject to availability and are not a binding offer. USD figures are approximate and follow the exchange rate. We are glad to share exact, current pricing on request.
Prices are based on the Idealista rental index, 2025 — indicative. We confirm the current figure for each property.
For a season rather than a full year, mid-term and seasonal stays — typically one to eleven months — are available across most areas. Let us know your dates and we will match what is currently on the market.
Frequently asked questions
How soon can I move in?
Depending on the season and your criteria, we usually send suitable options within a few days. A long-term contract is typically signed within one to two weeks.
What deposit and upfront costs should I expect?
For long-term lets, expect roughly one month's rent in advance plus one to two months' deposit, and sometimes an agency fee. We confirm the exact figures for each property before you commit.
Do I need a NIE to rent?
For long-term contracts most landlords ask for a NIE (foreigner's tax number). We guide you through getting one. Seasonal and short-term stays are usually more flexible.
Can you help if I'm not in Spain yet?
Yes. We run live video viewings and handle the contract and paperwork remotely, in English or Russian, so you can choose and sign before you arrive.
What documents do landlords ask from foreign tenants?
Usually a passport and NIE, proof of income or savings, and sometimes a guarantor or a few extra months paid upfront. We help you prepare a strong application file.
Do you charge a fee?
We tell you any fees clearly and upfront, before you commit — no surprises.
