Background

Nestled between Nice and Monaco, la Perle d’Eze is an aparthotel offering panoramic sea views and peaceful luxury. Known for its clean design and relaxed ambiance, the hotel welcomes travelers from all over the world to the charming hilltop village of Èze.

With a small team managing all facets of hotel management, owners Ivan and Aafaf Turco needed hotel tech that could do more, without requiring hours of setup, training, or maintenance. In 2021, they adopted Lighthouse’s Channel Manager and Reservation Manager, after hearing strong recommendations from fellow hoteliers and haven’t looked back since.

“It was recommended to us by friends and fellow hotel owners. Once we tried it, we understood why.”

Tools that evolve with your hotel

La Perle d’Eze first adopted Channel Manager and Reservation Manager for their simplicity and structure, but what stood out even more was how quickly both tools evolved.

The interface and features have continuously improved, with intuitive upgrades that matched the hotel’s growing needs. From refreshed design to new automation tools, the platform always felt one step ahead, without losing its original strengths.

“We’ve seen so many updates – from the Lighthouse branding to the redesigned dashboards – but what we love is that the efficiency has always stayed the same.”

Aafaf & Ivan Turco

Just as la Perle d’Eze discovered Lighthouse through industry recommendations, they now would do the same for others. For the team, it’s a platform that speaks for itself.

In an industry where trust and reliability are everything, having a system you can confidently recommend is a sign of true satisfaction.

“We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other hoteliers, it’s a fantastic tool that we’ve come to rely on.”

Saving time where it matters most

With limited capacity, time is one of the hotel’s most precious resources. Lighthouse helps Aafaf and Ivan save hours every week by automating key parts of their workflow.

From creating guest profiles and sending automatic emails, to secure payment requests and simplified reservations, the entire guest journey is now more streamlined and more professional.

By cutting out the repetitive tasks, they can focus on delivering an excellent service, not figuring out overcomplicated systems.

“All the new options help us save a lot of time, which is incredibly valuable for a small hotel like ours.”

Intuitive by design

When asked to describe Reservation Manager in three words, the answer came quickly: ‘design, intuitive, effective’. Every feature is built to be practical, accessible and clean – without unnecessary complexity.

That clarity has been key to maintaining a clean overview, generating reports and helping their hotel thrive.

“It’s visually clear, easy to navigate and does exactly what we need it to.”

One of the hotel’s favorite features is the reporting functionality. In just a few minutes you can see reports on financial overviews, invoicing and much more. With everything in one place and presented in a clear structure, managing finances is now faster and less prone to errors.

“We love how billing and financial reports are organized, it’s all clear and well-structured.”

Aafaf & Ivan Turco

The system provides the transparency needed to stay on top of performance, track bookings and manage accounting without extra effort.
