WHY AN OWNER WOULD CHOOSE US
Anyone letting a property in Italy knows these three worries well. Our offer sets out how we address them, with written responsibilities and commitments before you sign.
Rent is owed by the company named in the lease, with an agreed payment date and method, independently of guest bookings. Before signing, we set out the deposit, any guarantees and remedies for non-payment, together with the permitted use of the property.
Rent is due from the commencement date agreed in the lease and is independent of guest bookings. During the 5+ year lease, we manage listings, guests and changeovers. Start dates, any works and break provisions are agreed before signing.
CIN registration, guest reporting to the police, tourist tax, cleaning, late-night check-ins, weekend breakdowns: that is our business, not yours. The obligations of running short-stay accommodation sit with us as operator, on the terms set out in the lease and under applicable law.
OUR OFFER TO PROPERTY OWNERS
We lease your property for 5 years or more and operate it as short-stay accommodation. You receive a premium starting rent, annual reviews and hands-on property care. If renovations are needed, we fund the agreed work — and you keep it at handback, free of charge.
We agree your property’s starting long-term market rent using comparable local rentals, then offer 10% more. Annual index-linked reviews apply after that, independently of nightly guest bookings.
We arrange and pay for repainting when your lease ends. The areas, colours, finish and completion timing are agreed in writing before you sign.
We take responsibility for maintenance and repairs throughout the lease, with the scope, costs and approval process set out clearly. You have one accountable point of contact.
Plan ahead with a long-term lease. The term, renewal options, notice and any break provisions are agreed before you sign.
A clear mechanism to adjust rent over time. The consumer price index, review date and calculation method are agreed and recorded in your lease.
WHAT 10% MORE COULD LOOK LIKE

Gross rent illustration, before taxes, costs and subsequent index adjustments. The rent commencement date is agreed in the lease. Each property is assessed individually. Starting market rent, a term of 5+ years, the index and review rules, renewal and break provisions, renovation scope and approvals, owner retention of renovations at no charge, maintenance responsibilities and guaranteed repainting are agreed in the signed lease, subject to applicable local requirements.
OUR RENOVATIONS. YOURS TO KEEP.
If your property needs work to meet our short-stay standards, we arrange and pay for the agreed renovations. You approve the scope before we begin. When the property is handed back at lease end, those renovations remain yours — free of charge.
AN HONEST COMPARISON

THE PAPERWORK, ON OUR SIDE
Short-stay accommodation carries obligations that vary from one comune to the next and change often. As the operator we handle them, on the terms set out in the lease and under applicable law.
We handle the CIN application for the unit and its display in listings, as required by national law. If a document or signature from you is needed, we tell you in advance and explain why.
Every guest’s details are submitted to the police through the Alloggiati Web portal, within the statutory deadlines, for every stay.
Collected from the guest and paid to the comune under the local rules, with the periodic returns that go with it.
SCIA or equivalent notifications, regional codes and statistical returns, where these apply to the form of activity actually carried out.
Detectors, extinguishers and the other equipment national and local rules require for hospitality, installed and maintained at our cost.
Tax obligations relating to rental income remain your responsibility. Check the applicable treatment, reportable amounts and any unpaid rent with your accountant. We do not give tax advice and do not promise any preferential regime.
YOUR PROPERTY, YOUR NEIGHBOURS
A good relationship with the building is worth as much as the rent. Here is how we protect it, and how we protect the property.
We read the condominium rules before signing. If your building restricts short-stay use, we check it together and say so openly, rather than discovering it later.
ID for every guest, a maximum number of people per unit, quiet hours and a no-parties rule: written terms, accepted at the time of booking.
A name and a phone number for you, for the amministratore and for the neighbours, with a fast response to any complaint.
A handover record with photographs and an inventory at signing, and an agreed handback standard: a written reference for assessing condition at the end of the lease.
Cleaning at every changeover and periodic property checks: small problems get fixed before they become damage.
Insurance cover and the allocation of responsibilities are set out in the lease, before you sign.
