One calendar
Bookings through the site and through Booking.com end up in the same calendar, so double bookings don't happen.

The question: less reliance on booking platforms
Eefje and Pieter rent out their villa with private pool on the Les Palivettes estate in Malaucène. The villa is also listed on Booking.com, but the goal of the new website was clear: more guests booking directly.
That meant the site had to convey the feel of a stay, speak to guests from different countries in their own language and always show availability correctly.

Linked to Booking.com
A direct booking must never clash with a booking through Booking.com. So we connected the site to an external booking provider that keeps the calendar in sync with Booking.com.
Always current
Guests see which periods are still free, without anyone updating it by hand.
Trust
The 9.8 rating on Booking.com is shown on the site, so guests can book directly with confidence.
For guests from different countries
Guests come from different countries with different plans. The site speaks to them in their own language and shows what there is to do.
Three languages
The whole site is available in English, French and Dutch.
Cyclists and families
Dedicated pages for those who want to climb Mont Ventoux and for families with children.
A blog about Provence
Tips on destinations and activities nearby also make the site discoverable for guests still exploring.
From copy to booking integration
Tixer took care of the copy in three languages, the design, the build and the booking provider integration. The result is one website that shows the villa and lets guests book directly.
