A beautiful garden, a location near the forest, a swimming pool with a view – some assets of a vacation rental simply cannot be seen from the ground. That is where drone photography comes into play, both literally and figuratively.

When does a drone truly add value?

  • When the location or surroundings are a major asset – nature, water, a view of the valley or the coastline
  • For a large plot, garden, or swimming pool that cannot be fully captured from the ground
  • To show the proximity to points of interest – beach, forest, village center, nearby hiking trails
  • For accommodations with a unique architectural shape, which only truly stand out from above

When is it less necessary?

For a compact city apartment with limited outdoor space, a drone likely adds little value – there, your strengths lie indoors, in the interior design and atmosphere of the rooms themselves. Additionally, in densely built-up areas, flying can be more difficult practically or legally.

Practical information

Drone photography depends on weather conditions, location, and legal flight permits. In certain zones – for example, near airports, military zones, or busy city centers – restrictions apply or specific permission is required. We always check this in advance to avoid surprises on the day itself. If flying proves impossible for these reasons, we will inform you in a timely manner.

How do you combine it with your photo shoot?

Drone shots are simply scheduled during the same shoot – mention your interest when booking, and we will allocate sufficient time and consider the best time of day for overhead lighting.

What exactly does a good drone photo show?

A strong aerial photo does not just show the roof and the garden, but places the accommodation in its context: the distance to neighbors, the orientation relative to the sun, and the wider surroundings. This provides potential guests or buyers with a more complete picture than ground-level photos alone can offer.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have the necessary permits to fly a drone?

Yes, drone photography is always conducted in accordance with the applicable legal flight permits and restrictions.

What if it is too windy to fly on the day of the shoot?

In that case, we will determine together whether we can reschedule the drone shots for a later time, as weather conditions have a direct impact on this.

Can I book drone footage separately, without a full photo shoot?

Drone photography is offered in combination with a real estate or accommodation shoot, not as a completely standalone service.

How many drone photos do I typically receive?

This depends on what there is to show at the location – usually, a few well-chosen angles are sufficient to optimally capture the surroundings and location.
