Why a ready-made solution

Built around how a hotel really works

01

Direct bookings, 0% commission

On the big portals, up to 18% of what you take stays with them. Every booking from your own site is fully yours: the margin comes back to you, not to the OTAs.

02

More value for the guest, more direct bookings

Breakfast included, upgrades, reserved packages: with the saved margin you can offer more than any portal, and give the guest a reason to book direct.

03

Live in days, not months

The structure and booking engine are ready: we tailor them with your rooms, photos and colours and publish fast.

04

You welcome guests, we handle the site

Hosting, maintenance, security updates and small changes are included in the monthly fee. You manage rooms, rates and availability yourself from a simple dashboard.

Transparent pricing

A clear price, no surprises

One-time setup + a monthly fee with everything included: booking engine, Swiss/EU hosting, domain, maintenance, security updates and small changes. Unlike the OTAs, we take no commission on your bookings: you pay a fixed fee and keep 100% of the revenue.

In-depth guide

The hotel & B&B website in Ticino: direct bookings and fewer commissions

A hotel website made for hoteliers in Ticino and beyond

The Envestis hotel website is a ready-made, tailored solution for anyone welcoming guests in Lugano, on the lake and across Ticino: boutique hotels, B&Bs, inns, farm stays and small charming properties. It is built for those who want a beautiful, fast hotel website that, above all, drives direct bookings rather than depending only on Booking.com and Airbnb. We start from a proven structure - home, rooms and suites, offers, services, location - and a booking engine, and personalise it with your name, colours, room photos and the view. You can see it live in our hotel demo and compare it with the other options in the Envestis solutions overview.

The direct booking engine: the heart of the site

The heart of the solution is the direct booking engine. The guest chooses check-in and check-out dates and the number of guests, sees room availability in real time with the price per night and the total, selects a room, enters their details and instantly receives a confirmation with a booking reference. It all happens on your own site, in a few steps and around the clock, on both desktop and mobile. The difference with the portals is simple: a booking from Booking or Airbnb costs you a commission that can exceed 15-18%; the same booking, made on your site, is entirely yours. That is why the demo proudly shows the message "Book direct - 0% OTA commission": it is the single most important competitive advantage for a hospitality business today.

Rooms, offers, reviews: selling the night and the location

A site that sells is more than a booking form. Each room type has its own page with large photos, amenities, view, size and capacity, because it is the lake view and the atmosphere that make guests choose your property. Seasonal offers and packages - a romantic escape, a wellness weekend, a long stay - are bookable only from the site and become the best way to reward direct guests. Verified guest reviews, the services (breakfast, spa, pool, parking, pet friendly) and a section on where you are and what to do nearby complete the picture and build the trust that makes guests click "book". A B&B or a farm stay can tell its own story and its region this way, something no portal will ever do for you.

Multilingual, Swiss hosting and transparent pricing

Ticino and the lakes live on international tourism. That is why every hotel website in Switzerland we build is available in Italian, German, French and English, so the guest immediately finds the information and books in their own language. Booking data travels over HTTPS and is hosted on Swiss/EU infrastructure, with regular backups, in line with the new Data Protection Act (nFADP) and the GDPR. The site is fast, accessible and optimised for Google, so people searching for a hotel in Lugano or a B&B by the lake find you first. And the pricing model is the opposite of the OTAs': a one-time setup of CHF 2’900 and a CHF 39/month fee with everything included - booking engine, hosting, domain, maintenance and small changes - with no commission on your bookings. You welcome guests, we handle the site. When you are ready to start, talk to us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can my hotel website go live?

Usually a few days: the structure and booking engine are ready and we tailor them with your rooms, photos and colours. Larger customisations take 2-4 weeks.

Can guests book directly from the site?

Yes. The site includes a direct booking engine: the guest chooses dates and guests, sees availability with the price, selects a room and receives a confirmation with a booking reference. The request reaches you instantly and no commission goes to the OTAs.

Really zero commission, unlike Booking or Airbnb?

Exactly. You pay us a fixed fee for the site and hosting; on bookings that come from your site we take nothing. Unlike the OTAs, which can take 15-18% per stay, here 100% of the revenue stays yours.

Can I manage rooms, rates and availability myself?

Yes. We set up colours, logo and the initial structure together starting from the demo; then you update rooms, rates, availability, offers and photos yourself from a simple dashboard. With the optional AI integration you can even have a room description generated in the tone you choose. We build, host and maintain the platform; the content always stays yours.

Does it suit B&Bs, farm stays and small properties?

Yes. It works perfectly from a single room up to a hotel with many room types. For a B&B or farm stay it is ideal to reduce dependence on the portals and tell your own region's story. It grows with your property.

Does payment happen online on the site?

It's your choice. In the basic setup the booking is confirmed and settled at the hotel on arrival - simple and with no deposit. If you prefer, we can integrate online payment or a deposit (TWINT, card) with your trusted provider.

What does the monthly fee include?

Booking engine, Swiss/EU hosting, domain, maintenance, security updates, backups and small content changes. Everything included in the monthly fee, no commission on bookings and no hidden costs.

How much does a website for a hotel or B&B in Ticino cost?

The website has a one-time setup of CHF 2’900 and a CHF 39/month fee that includes the booking engine, Swiss/EU hosting, domain, maintenance and small changes. Clear, transparent pricing with no commission on bookings - built for hotels, B&Bs and farm stays in Lugano and across Ticino.

How does the site help reduce dependence on Booking and Airbnb?

By giving guests a reason to book direct: a best-rate guarantee, breakfast included, reserved packages and a simple booking experience on your site. Many properties use the portals to get found and then convert the guest to direct booking for the next stay. The site is the tool that makes all of this possible.
