MASPALOMAS, CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — VillaGranCanaria, which manages more than 250 holiday rentals in Gran Canaria, has launched an AI search that lets guests search in their own words, in Spanish, English, German, French or Dutch. Typing ‘a villa with a private pool for 6 people at Christmas’ shows the rentals that match the type of home and the dates.
Holiday homes with a private pool make up more than a third of the catalogue: 95 of the 255 it lists. It also includes 81 villas, and the company classes 91 of its homes as luxury.
Search the way you’d say it
Dates work too: ‘10–17 October’ shows only the homes that are free that week, and a French guest can just as easily type ‘du 10 au 17 octobre’. Ask for ‘cheap’ or ‘most expensive’ and the results sort themselves. Ask for ‘a pool’ with no other detail and every home with any kind of pool shows up.
Above the results, the page shows exactly what it understood, such as “Private pool,” “Maspalomas” and “6 guests,” and the guest can remove any of them with one click. If part of a request can’t be used, the page says which part. If a single condition leaves nothing, it names that condition and shows what is available without it.
An AI that knows when to stop
The AI has exactly one job: turning a guest’s plain-language search into filters. It writes nothing about the houses, and every filter is checked against the company’s own catalogue before it is used. It cannot sort or filter by review scores. VillaGranCanaria looked at letting the AI write answers about its properties and decided against it, because unreviewed AI text can state details that aren’t true.
“Guests ask for things the way they’d ask us on the phone: a pool, six people, near the beach. Now the website understands them the same way,” said Andrea Escobio, CEO of VillaGranCanaria.
Privacy and fallback
The words a guest types are sent to Gemini through VillaGranCanaria’s server, as the company’s privacy policy explains in all five languages. If the AI is ever unavailable, the tab quietly works as a normal keyword search and shows no error.
To use it, guests click the destination field in the search bar, on the homepage or the search page, and choose the ‘In your own words’ tab. Try it at villagrancanaria.com.
