What owners say

The owners we work for. In their own words.

Reviews from property owners whose villas and apartments we manage. Named and verifiable.

We have a few apartments for rent with Glaser Holiday Rentals. We are very satisfied with Maarten and his team. We receive excellent guidance throughout the rental process. We are well provided with all the necessary information and a monthly administrative update. The communication is pleasant.

What we do

Full-service rental management. No surprises.

From the first photo to the final departure, all of it. All the standard work, and the regulatory part that usually costs extra elsewhere.

Listings across platforms
Listings & marketing
Multi-platform distribution
Distribution across Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, plus our direct-booking channel and corporate-let routes for Polígono-adjacent stock. Premium-residential villas get clean, corporate-friendly listings; new-build family homes get weekend-family copy; Málaga-base apartments get city-overflow positioning. Channel weighting tuned to which audience each property actually serves.
Dynamic pricing dashboard
Dynamic pricing
Powered by PriceLabs
PriceLabs calibrated for Alhaurín de la Torre: corporate-let mid-week pricing (Mon–Thu premium for business travel near the Polígono Industrial), weekend family rates on the new-build family stock, summer family-week pricing, no real shoulder season because airport-corridor demand never collapses. Daily rate review on Alhaurín de la Torre comparables, not coastal averages.
24/7 guest support
24/7 guest support
Concierge in person, multilingual
In-person check-in for every arrival, business travellers landing late from a Madrid or Frankfurt flight ten minutes away, Málaga-city families dropping in for a weekend, corporate-let guests checking in on a Sunday evening. A real person, not a lockbox, with the property’s WiFi password, parking instructions and the route to the Polígono Industrial already prepared. Available day and night in Dutch, English, Spanish and German.
Cleaning and turnover
Cleaning & turnover
Hotel-grade preparation
Vetted Alhaurín de la Torre-based cleaning and linen teams. High turnover frequency on the corporate-let stock (more Mon-arrival check-ins than any other inland town) means a tighter cleaning schedule than rural fincas need, same hotel-grade preparation, just more often. Modern new-build maintenance is appliance-heavy: aircon resets, smart-home wifi, hob and dishwasher reset between guests.
VUT licensing paperwork
VUT licensing
All paperwork handled
SES.HOSPEDAJES registration for each stay, and the VUT handled through the Junta de Andalucía in Málaga. The defining Alhaurín de la Torre paperwork question is comunidad-status, apartment blocks and gated urbanisations dominate the stock, and the April 2025 LPH amendment applies to every new licence inside them. With 372 VUTs already issued, building-level vote dynamics matter and we read the minutes before any contract is signed. Pre-April-2025 licences are grandfathered.
Monthly owner statements
Owner statements
Monthly transparent reports
Itemised monthly statement for every Alhaurín de la Torre property, gross rental, corporate-let revenue separated from leisure short-let where relevant, comunidad fees (a large item on urbanisation stock), pool and garden where applicable, cleaning, platform commission, management fee all shown separately. Owner-use windows (July–August family weeks, Semana Santa, Feria de San Sebastián in January) clearly blocked. A summary of the year each January.

Who we are

Family-run. Hands-on. Honest.

Glaser Group is run by Maarten Glaser from an office in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena. A Dutchman who chose the Costa del Sol. Glaser Real Estate (the brokerage side) was founded in 2019; the rental management division, Glaser Holiday Homes SL, runs short-let, mid-stay and long-stay properties across the coastal strip and inland into the Guadalhorce valley. Alhaurín de la Torre is the airport-corridor anchor of the inland network. The rental business holds Airbnb Superhost status.

Alhaurín de la Torre is the inland town nobody quite categorises. It isn’t pueblo blanco (Coín and Alhaurín el Grande hold that). It isn’t coast. It isn’t Málaga city. It is the corridor between airport and capital, modern, residential, growing, Spanish-family-dominated, and uniquely flat in its seasonality because business travel, corporate lets, and Málaga-city overflow keep the calendar full when coastal short-let collapses. We design listings, pricing and operations around that, not around a "rural inland" template that doesn’t fit.

Owners in Alhaurín de la Torre deal directly with a senior member of the team, get a clear statement each month and hear honestly when something needs to change. Family-run, hands-on, and built for owners who want the airport-corridor business travel, corporate-let, modern-family weekend and Málaga-city-overflow audiences worked properly, instead of being sold a coastal-leisure playbook that doesn’t actually apply here.

“We say no to any property we would not recommend to a friend.”

One contact, no hand-offs

In Alhaurín de la Torre, your direct contact is a senior member of our team. Corporate-let and longer-stay business audiences want a single human to escalate to when the WiFi drops on a Monday morning. We do not run a contact-centre model and we never will.

Clear monthly statements

Itemised monthly statement for every Alhaurín de la Torre property, gross rental, corporate-let revenue separated from leisure short-let where relevant, comunidad fees (a large item on gated-urbanisation and apartment stock here), platform commission, cleaning and management fee all shown separately. A full-year summary follows each January, matched to the Spanish tax year.

All Alhaurín de la Torre paperwork covered

Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation and SES.HOSPEDAJES guest registration. We also read the comunidad minutes for apartment properties before any contract, the April 2025 LPH amendment matters and we surface the building's position upfront.

Multilingual guest service

Team languages: Dutch, English, Spanish, German. Alhaurín de la Torre’s guest mix skews much more Spanish-domestic than its inland neighbours, corporate travellers, Málaga-city overflow families, weekend visitors, so Spanish-first guest comms matters more here than on most coastal sites. Every message goes to a real human reachable around the clock.

Good for you and for us

We open for Alhaurín de la Torre owners who want one hands-on manager working the airport-corridor business audience, the modern-family weekend market and the Málaga-overflow corporate-let demand together. We say no when the fit isn’t right (a property positioned exclusively for leisure short-let in a town that pays the bills on business travel) — with the reason given.

Founder’s letter

Short-term rental and property management for the airport-corridor, modern villas across the municipality, new-build family homes in the gated urbanisations, apartments off Plaza de la Iglesia. One team for listings, pricing, guest support and the whole back office.

What could your home earn as a holiday let?

Instant figures from real comparable rental data. Honest by design; a realistic number is worth more than an inflated one.

Complete the form; the estimate will display here.

How it works

From the first conversation to the first guest — about 10–14 days.

No pressure, no contract until you are ready. We see the property, check the numbers and explain what we would do before a contract exists.

01
Day 0
Discovery call
Thirty minutes on the phone, at the office in Arroyo de la Miel, or at the property, premium-residential villa, new-build family home in a gated urbanisation, apartment near Plaza de la Iglesia, larger-plot home on the higher ground. We talk through where short-term rental fits: corporate-let-focused, weekend-family, leisure short-let, or a hybrid. Comunidad-vote position surfaces upfront, non-negotiable for apartment and gated-urbanisation stock here.
02
Day 2–5
Walkthrough & photography
Walkthrough at the property. Inventory taken and safety checked. Photography framed to the actual audience: clean and corporate-friendly for Polígono-adjacent stock and modern airport-corridor villas, modern family for the new-build family stock, premium-residential for larger plots on the higher ground. Comunidad-minutes review runs in parallel, building vote history read before listings go live.
03
Day 5–10
Licence & listings
VUT confirmed with the Junta de Andalucía, or the declaración responsable filed. Comunidad-status check closed under the April 2025 LPH amendment for apartments and gated-urbanisation villas, short-term rental only goes live where vote dynamics permit it. Pre-April-2025 licences are grandfathered.
04
Day 10–14
First booking
First guests arrive, business traveller in from a Madrid commuter flight, weekend family from Sevilla, corporate-let consultant settling in for a four-week project. Ten minutes from airport to front door; we meet every arrival in person. Guests have multilingual support for the whole stay. Statements start in week one.

The VUT, in brief

To let a home to tourists in Alhaurín de la Torre you need the Andalusian VUT (Vivienda de Uso Turístico). The national NRUA introduced by Royal Decree 1312/2024 was annulled by the Spanish Supreme Court in May 2026 and is no longer required, the VUT is the only registration platforms verify.

A straightforward application can be processed in one day.

Owners with a valid VUT already in place keep it under the old rules, without any community vote. Only new applications in apartment blocks and other community buildings need a 3/5 majority vote under the April 2025 change to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal (Ley Orgánica 1/2025). Licences registered before that date are not affected.

Alhaurín de la Torre is governed by the same Andalusian framework as everywhere else in the region. Much of the town’s housing is modern apartment blocks and homes within communities of owners, where a new tourist use needs the 3/5 approval, so we read the community’s statutes and recent minutes for every property before a contract is signed.

Key facts

1 day, in simple cases

Within 24 hours
SES.HOSPEDAJES guest registration is filed for every stay, so the paperwork does not land on you.
3/5 majority
Community approval applies just to new licence applications. Existing registrations keep their status under the previous rules.
372 VUTs

Taking on owners

Taking on Alhaurín de la Torre owners.

We’re opening for a small set of Alhaurín de la Torre properties, modern villas across the municipality, premium-residential homes on the higher ground, new-build family homes in the gated urbanisations, and apartments around the casco and Iglesia de San Sebastián. The right Alhaurín de la Torre owner is someone who sees the town for what it actually is, airport-corridor, modern, residential, Spanish-family-led, no real off-season, and wants a manager who works the business-travel, corporate-let, weekend-family and Málaga-overflow audiences together, instead of pretending the town is a pueblo-rural-leisure market. Send the details and we’ll reply honestly within four working hours.

José is very welcoming, responsive and available. The accommodation is located in a very quiet residence, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and it is very pleasant. A car is required. I recommend it without hesitating.

Everything in the apartment was new and clean. There was everything you needed. The apartment was really cosy and comfortable, with great views outside. Communication with the accommodation was really smooth and they wanted to make sure we really enjoyed ourselves and had everything we needed. A lovely peaceful location. A very successful holiday.

From our team covering Alhaurín de la Torre

What a normal day involves.

Running a holiday let is not one job but a long list of small, repeated tasks that must go right every time. A sample of what the team handles from day to day:

Listings & bookings

One calendar across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and direct bookings. PriceLabs tuned to Alhaurín de la Torre: mid-week corporate-let premiums, weekend-family blocks for the new-build family stock, summer family-week pricing, no shoulder-season collapse because airport-corridor demand is year-round.

Guest support

In-person check-in for every arrival, business travellers landing late at Málaga airport, weekend families up from Málaga city, corporate guests starting Monday morning. Multilingual support in Dutch, English, Spanish and German with strong Spanish-first comms because the guest mix here is more domestic than coastal stock.

Cleaning & maintenance

Vetted Alhaurín de la Torre-based cleaning and linen teams. High Monday-arrival cadence on corporate-let stock means a tighter turnover schedule than other inland towns. Smart-home reset (WiFi, aircon, hob) baked into every turnover for the modern new-builds.

Licensing & compliance

Junta de Andalucía VUT registration in the RTA, plus SES.HOSPEDAJES reporting inside 24 hours of check-in. Comunidad-minute checks under the April 2025 LPH amendment on every apartment and gated-urbanisation onboarding, non-negotiable in this town.

More property outside Alhaurín de la Torre?

Alhaurín de la Torre sits as the airport-corridor anchor of the Glaser Group network. Owners with a corporate-let villa here and a coastal apartment can run both through one team. Inland, we work next to Coín rental management and Alhaurín el Grande rental management, and on the coast across Benalmádena rental management, Torremolinos rental management, Mijas rental management, Fuengirola rental management, Marbella rental management, Benahavís rental management and Málaga rental management. You can reach every team via the Costa del Sol umbrella site.

What we do

Alhaurín de la Torre short-term lets and property management.

Glaser runs short-term rentals across the Alhaurín de la Torre municipal area, different town from Alhaurín el Grande despite the name, very different commercial reality. Population around 42,000, growing fast on Málaga-city overflow, dominated by modern new-builds and gated urbanisations, premium-residential villas on the higher ground, new-build family homes filling the modern-suburb middle, apartment stock around the airport corridor, with a working casco around Plaza de la Iglesia and Iglesia de San Sebastián and a sizeable Polígono Industrial on the airport side. The result is the only Costa del Sol municipality where seasonality genuinely flattens, airport-corridor business-let demand, modern-family weekend rentals, Málaga-city overflow and corporate stays keep occupancy steady year-round. We handle VUT licensing through the Junta de Andalucía, comunidad-vote checks under the April 2025 LPH amendment (critical here because gated-urbanisation and apartment stock dominates), multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, pricing tuned to Alhaurín de la Torre comparables and the corporate-let market, in-person check-in, 24-hour multilingual support, cleaning, maintenance, and monthly statements.

We also look after rentals in

Our main office is in Arroyo de la Miel. Wherever the property is, you deal with one team, one licensing process and one contact.

Frequently asked

What owners want to know before they sign.

For anything not listed, call or message us directly; we answer honestly about whether we are the right fit.

Talk it through with us?
+34 711 02 95 11

With PriceLabs, a pricing tool that reads demand and what similar homes are asking, and every rate it suggests is reviewed by a person on our team. The price moves with the season and with how far ahead people book.

A person from Glaser, at the door, for every booking. Keys are handed over face to face rather than left in a key safe.

Not a single one. You choose from a handful of packages, and the trade-off in each is between how long the agreement runs and how free you are to change course. We compare them during our first conversation. Whichever you pick, the fee has its own line on your statement.

Your listings and the pricing behind them, replies to guests at any hour and in their language, a personal welcome, housekeeping between stays, fresh bed linen, repairs, the legal guest registration and a statement each month. The licence is filed by us at the start. Extras such as professional photos or upgraded towels and bedding are priced individually.

Whenever you want. Pass on your dates and nobody else can book them. Room for owner stays is part of each agreement.

On the day we issue your monthly statement, early in the month, covering the month before. Booking-site commission, housekeeping, repairs and our fee each have their own line, and a yearly overview arrives in January.

Yes. Every tourist let in Andalucía is registered as a VUT under Decreto 31/2024, the region-wide decree. We prepare and lodge the declaration during onboarding, and the number tends to come back within a week.

If your home is part of one, its owners decide. Under Ley Orgánica 1/2025, a new holiday let in a community has needed the express agreement of a three-fifths majority from 3 April 2025; registrations made before that date are unaffected. We go through the community's records of past meetings before advising.

Yes. Spain's highest court cancelled the NRUA in May 2026. Airbnb and the other platforms still want a registration number on every listing, and in Andalucía that number is your VUT.

We do. Passport details for each guest go into SES.HOSPEDAJES no later than a day after check-in, and the records are retained for the period the law sets.

If you live abroad, rental income from the property is declared on the non-resident Modelo 210, and we can suggest a gestor to handle it. Your home-country side should be checked with your own tax adviser.

Yes, also in Coín and Alhaurín el Grande, and on the coast between Málaga and Benahavís. Properties further away are outside our area.
