for hosts
I am a host too. I built the tool I would have wanted, with no fake reviews and no hidden commitment.Baptiste Couzinié, founder, near Toulouse. Over 100 gîtes advised in my previous job, before I started Mon Gîte Direct. I know your calendars, your commissions and your seasons.
Platforms bring you guests. Then they take a cut on every stay.
On a €1,000 stay, about €150 goes to commissions. Your loyal guests, the ones who come back every summer, book through the platform again… and you pay again.
- Your regulars book direct, with no commission
- You keep your guests' contact details
How much do platforms really cost you?
Run the numbers with your own figures. The sum is done in front of you; nothing is sent.
The subscription pays for itself from 108 nights sold a year.
Indicative estimate, not a promise of results. Gîtes de France: 10 to 20 % depending on your departmental office.

Watch it work
A booking to try yourself, then five screens, from the site the guest sees to the live map, as you will use them. The figures and names belong to a demonstration property.
Try it: book the night of the 14th
You are the guest. Pick a night, pay the deposit, and watch where the booking and the money go. Nothing is booked or paid: this is a demonstration.
July
Already taken on Airbnb: your website reads its calendar every 30 minutes and closes them here.
Pick an available night. Try the night of 14 July.
Your iCal link is pasted into Airbnb once. The grey nights are your Airbnb bookings.
No payment yet.
The deposit goes straight to your Stripe account: we never touch that money and take no commission. Stripe charges its own payment fees.
Demonstration: a fictional property, 120 € a night and a 40% deposit, the default setting, which you change. The balance is paid on your own terms.
And the real screens, as they are
Your website, under your name. Your photographs large, your story, your region. A design chosen for what you rent, online from day one.
Your calendars stay in agreement, without a channel manager
It is the one thing a channel manager really does for a holiday rental: stop two bookings landing on the same dates. Here is how it works here, and what it does not do.
Deposit into your account
What it does while you get on with life
An ordinary day, hour by hour. The times are an example; everything described is something the website really does.
The calendars were read
Every 30 minutes, your website reads the calendars of Airbnb, Booking and the other platforms you have linked. A booking taken on Airbnb during the night is closed on your side at the next reading, without you doing a thing.
Two e-mails went out in your name
The guest arriving in three days received the address and your arrival instructions. The one who left the day before yesterday received a thank-you, with a link to leave a review on your website.
A booking, and the deposit
A guest picks their dates and pays the deposit online. The money lands in your Stripe account, they get their confirmation, you get the “New direct booking” e-mail. The dates close on your website; Airbnb and Booking will see them the next time they read your iCal link.
Who is looking, right now
In your area, the “Live” page shows the towns your website has been read from in the last five minutes, and whether someone is on the payment page. A dot is a town, never a person: no IP address is read.
A payment left unfinished
Someone reached the payment page and did not finish. An hour after that page expires, if the dates are still free, your website sends them a single message in your name, with no countdown and no false urgency. You can rewrite it, or switch it off.
You are asleep
The website carries on: it takes bookings, collects deposits into your Stripe account and reads your calendars every 30 minutes.
Everything your website can do
It is not a frozen brochure: it is the tool you work with all year. Every point is explained in full, before you even have an account.
No listing, no website, nowhere to book?
Then commission is not your problem: you pay none. Losing the enquiry that came in on Sunday night is.

Get your place filmed
A film shot by drone shows your place in its landscape, on your site and on social media. Celvo films gîtes, B&Bs and unusual stays in Haute-Garonne and across Occitanie, and the film goes straight onto your site.
Celvo is our partner for films and photos: a company we know well, for quality images on your site and on your listings.
Duo offer for subscribers: 15% off films, from €272 instead of €320 (net prices, TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI).
Discover CelvoA host's initiative, for hosts
Baptiste Couzinié, a host myself, near Toulouse. Before this I supported more than a hundred gîtes within a specialised group — I saw up close what works and what costs money for nothing.
This is not a software company that spotted a market: it is a host's initiative, for hosts. That is also why the tool is built the way it is — no fake reviews, no fake counters, no hidden commitment.
I only have one gîte — is this for me?
Yes, that is exactly what the Essentiel plan is for: one lodging, one website under its own name. If you rent out more later, you add them from your area without redoing anything.
I'm not comfortable with computers.
Your area guides you step by step; allow about 1.5 hours with your photos at hand. Prefer us to do it? The Express launch starts from your Airbnb or Booking listing: your website is ready in 7 days, or you are refunded. And you can message Baptiste on WhatsApp, or book 10 minutes on the phone.
Do I have to build my website myself?
Yes, but you are not on your own: your client area guides you step by step, and it takes about 1 h 30 with your photos at hand. If you would rather we did it, the Express launch (€89) takes your Airbnb or Booking listing: all that's left for you is your amenities and how arrival works. Your website is ready in 7 days, or you are refunded.
What if I want to stop?
At any time: there is no commitment. Cancel from your client area in 3 clicks, and the subscription stops at the end of the current month. No registered letter.
Will my Airbnb guests stop finding me?
No. You keep your listings: your website sits alongside them, and your calendars stay in sync. It is mainly for your regulars and for people who look you up by name, so they book without a commission.
Launch your website, we guide you.
