The benefits for holidaymakers

A fair price, with a minimal commission

On Vacancium, online booking comes with a small commission — at least three times lower than the big platforms'. Over a week's rental, the gap adds up to tens, sometimes hundreds of euros. The bulk of what you pay goes to the owner, not the platform.

A real person who knows the place

Your enquiry goes straight to the owner, and the owner answers you. Nobody knows the accommodation, the neighbourhood, the winter access or the village's best bakery better. You ask your questions before committing, and you know who will welcome you.

Verified, precise listings

Owners are verified — identity and contact details — before publication. Every listing shows the property's real data: capacity, floor area, distances, detailed amenities, room-by-room captioned photos, full booking conditions.

The freedom to make your own arrangements

Dates, arrival, rental contract, terms: everything is agreed directly with the owner, with no restricted messaging. The contact request is free and without obligation — online booking simply comes on top, for those who prefer its comfort.

A quarter of a century of experience

Vacancium is published by Alpium, a Savoie company founded in 2002, which has been putting holidaymakers and owners in direct contact since the winter of 1999-2000 with Chalet-Montagne.com. The mountains first — our trade — then the sea, the countryside and the city, opening progressively under the same rules.
