How We Start Managing Your Short-Term Rental
First Call
We learn who you are, where the property is, how it's furnished and what you expect in revenue. If we're not the right fit we say so immediately.
On-Site Visit
We visit the house, estimate real potential and flag improvements that lift the average rate: lighting, textiles, sleeping areas, outdoor.
Full Setup
Photo shoot, listing creation in 4 languages, channel manager setup, pricing rules, smart lock or key procedure, welcome kit.
Go-Live
The property goes online on all channels at the same time. We send you the listing links and read-only credentials to monitor.
Operations
From here on we handle everything: bookings, guests, cleaning, maintenance, compliance. You only receive the monthly transfer and the report.
Who This Service Is For
Private owners with one or two houses on Elba who want to rent only during the tourist season
People already self-managing who can't keep up with calendars, guests and paperwork
Owners of inherited properties who want to test whether short-term rental is actually worthwhile
Owners who live far from the island and have no trusted person on site
Already structured owners looking for a serious transparent partner, not a national franchise
Why Local Management Changes Everything
On Elba logistics are never trivial. The ferry that gets cancelled, a season that truly lasts four months, a tradesman who only answers if he knows you. A short-term rental management run remotely or by a mainland call center loses money every week through missed check-ins, late cleanings and negative reviews. We're on the island year-round, we speak to guests in four languages and we personally know the suppliers. That's how you hold the average rate and fill May and October too.

Frequently Asked Questions About Short-Term Rental Management
How much more will I earn compared to self-management?
It depends on the house and how you're running it today. On average our owners see a 25-40% uplift in net revenue thanks to dynamic pricing, listings in 4 languages and stronger low-season occupancy. We give you a specific estimate after the visit.
Can I use the house whenever I want?
Yes, that's one reason many owners choose short-term rental over a long lease. You block personal-use dates in the shared calendar and we adapt. One tip: don't block mid-August at the last minute.
What's the difference with complete management?
This service is the operational backbone of short-term rentals. Complete management adds ongoing advice on furniture, improvements, multi-year strategy and deeper reporting. Many owners start here and upgrade after the first season.
Who pays for cleaning, linens and consumables?
Cleaning is invoiced to guests as a cleaning fee on platforms, so it doesn't hit your revenue. Basic linens and consumables are included in our service. Extraordinary maintenance is on you but always pre-approved.
How can I keep an eye on what happens at my house?
You get read-only access to platform calendars, a detailed monthly report and a contact reachable via WhatsApp. We send you photos after every clean if you want.
Do you also manage smaller or mid-range properties?
Yes, as long as the property is in decent shape and in an area with demand. You don't need a villa with a pool: well-located studios and one-bedrooms in Portoferraio or Capoliveri perform very well.
When is the best time to start?
The best window is October to February, so we're ready for the season with well-positioned listings. But we can also launch a property in three weeks if the house is ready.
