What LO Exclusive does

LO Exclusive is a boutique short-term vacation rental management company operating a curated portfolio of three premium apartments and villas across Portugal, Spain, and Germany. The portfolio comprises a 3-bedroom detached villa with private pool in Denia/Els Poblets (Spain), a 2-bedroom apartment with terrace and golf views in Lisbon/Charneca de Caparica (Portugal), and a 1-bedroom apartment with garden in Stuttgart/Gablenberg (Germany). Properties are equipped with premium amenities—private terraces, pools, high-speed WiFi, air conditioning, Smart TVs with streaming platforms, barbecue areas, and fully equipped kitchens—and the company positions itself under the 'Beyond Accommodation' brand as a bridge between luxury hotel service and private residence comfort. The business is legally operated through Splendida Stay GbR, a German civil law partnership headquartered in Waiblingen, Germany, founded by Alexander Schweikert in 2018.

The business model is direct-to-consumer short-term holiday rentals with per-stay pricing quoted in euros; full payment is required 30 days before arrival, and security deposits (€400-€600 depending on location) are held via credit card pre-authorization. Distribution is multi-channel: direct bookings via the company website supplemented by listings on Airbnb and Booking.com as channel partners. Target segments include discerning leisure travelers (golf trips, family holidays, extended stays), families and groups seeking spacious properties, and business travelers visiting Stuttgart-area corporations such as Mercedes, Porsche, Bosch, and Mahle. Marketing relies on the company website, organic social media, email newsletters, local area blog guides, and earned media through guest testimonials.

Operationally, the company is small and founder-led with a 4-person team covering reservations, culinary, marketing, and front-of-house management. It holds tourist rental licenses in Portugal (Alojamento Local) and Spain (Valencia Region and National Registration), is GDPR-compliant, and supports a multilingual website (English, Turkish, German). The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, institutional investors, or M&A activity.
