Earnings depend on different factors such as location, size, condition of the property, quality of furnishings, and seasonality.
Regarda uses dynamic pricing algorithms to cross-reference market demand and major events to improve occupancy.

Our full management service operates on a commission basis: our remuneration is directly linked to your success.
We apply a variable fee between 25% and 30% on the rental income for each successful booking. This fee is not just a cost, but covers the entire Regarda service system:

• Multi-channel booking management and 24/7 guest assistance (pre, during, and post-stay).
• Professional coordination of cleaning and sanitization services.
• Marketing strategies and premium positioning on major international portals.
• Administrative and bureaucratic handling, along with property oversight.

Like traditional rentals, the owner remains responsible for fixed property maintenance costs: utilities (electricity, water, gas, Wi-Fi), condominium fees, local taxes (TARI, IMU), insurance policies, and extraordinary maintenance.

Regarda acts as a 360° Property Manager, taking care of every aspect of the property's income generation:

• Enhancement: Professional photography service, post-production, and home staging; consultancy for the initial setup of the property and potential renovations. Tailor-made commercial proposals based on the property’s unique features.
• Marketing: Publication of the listing on our official website www.regarda.it, on the main Italian and foreign OTA platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, etc.), and through national and international tour operators and agencies. Management of bookings and online payments in compliance with European PSD2 regulations.
• Bureaucracy and Taxation: Management of bureaucratic procedures (SCIA, CIN, Police “Alloggiati Web” portal, tourist tax, ISTAT) and administrative summary filings (Model 21, rental reports, Certificazione Unica); acting as a withholding tax agent for the cedolare secca. Management of collections, reconciliations, and invoicing.
• Operations: Professional cleaning with quality control, provision of certified linens, inventory checks, washing of blankets, mattress protectors or other fabrics; check-in/check-out management with multilingual staff and 24/7 guest assistance.
• Property Protection: Routine maintenance and prompt intervention for minor repairs in coordination with the Owner; coordination with internal staff or specialized technicians; periodic inspection of the property's condition and timely reporting of any critical issues.

Regarda provides a “turnkey” service: marketing and publication on portals, payment handling, check-in and check-out, professional cleaning with certified linens, 24/7 guest support, and all administrative and bureaucratic procedures.

Regarda handles everything: opening the rental activity, police registration, collecting and paying tourist taxes to the municipality, ISTAT reporting, and tax withholding.

Italian law defines short-term rentals as rentals under 30 days. There is no minimum stay requirement; they can range from one night to 30 days. Over 30 days, different regulations apply.

The advantages of short-term rentals over long-term rentals can be summarized as follows:

• No risk of insolvency: guests always pay for their stay in advance or at check-in, depending on booking conditions.
• Property always in order: frequent cleaning, constant checks, and routine maintenance ensure lower wear and tear compared to long-term rentals.
• Zero bureaucracy: once the management mandate is signed, we handle all bureaucratic aspects.
• Greater potential profitability: short-term rentals typically generate higher income.
• Maximum flexibility: the property remains fully available to the owner for personal use.
• Investment appreciation: properties in the short-term rental circuit have higher market value as income-generating assets.

The theoretical estimate includes:

• Viewing and analysis of the property.
• Analysis of potential tourist targets.
• Analysis of tourist flows and stay requests in the area.
• Analysis of potential competitors.
• Estimation of fixed and variable costs.

Based on this data, we develop a report analyzing the annual turnover generated by short-term rentals.

Yes. Simply communicate the desired dates or block them through your personal owner account, provided the property has not already been booked.

Payments are usually made quarterly by bank transfer, following verification through a detailed report of bookings, stay dates, total rented days, and gross rental amounts. Transfers are made net of management fees and applicable taxes.

Yes. You will have 24/7 access to a reserved area where you can monitor bookings, occupancy rates, financial reports, and expenses.

The management mandate usually lasts two years, allowing the property to reach its full earning potential through strategic positioning.

• Algorithms and visibility: rankings depend on listing history.
• Income growth: optimized listings typically see a 15–20% increase between the first and second year.
• Flexibility and withdrawal: withdrawal is possible with 6 months’ notice to protect guests and operations.

Activation usually takes between 4 and 6 weeks. The best period to publish a new listing is between September and December.

On average, the first bookings arrive within 15 to 30 days after publication, depending on seasonality and demand.

• Private individuals: option for Cedolare Secca at 21% (26% from the second property). From the third property, business activity is presumed, requiring VAT registration.
• Companies: ordinary corporate taxation applies; Cedolare Secca is not available.

A credit card guarantee is required before each stay. A deposit is blocked at check-in. Insurance coverage may apply via booking platforms. Any damages are reported and reimbursed accordingly.

The risk is eliminated: guests pay the full amount before entering the property.

Regarda manages cleaning and laundry services directly. These services are fully paid for by the guest.

Well-maintained, tastefully furnished properties with modern amenities perform best. Investing in quality is essential to achieve optimal results.

Recommended amenities include:

• Air conditioning.
• Efficient heating.
• Washing machine.
• Fully equipped kitchen.
• Dishwasher.
• Toaster, kettle, coffee machine.
• Comfortable beds and quality linen.
• Fast Wi-Fi.

Holiday homes are dedicated tourist accommodations with specific licensing. Short-term rentals refer to residential properties rented for up to 30 days without a written contract. The main difference lies in regulations and management methods.

Pricing depends on market analysis, property characteristics, seasonality, events, costs, and demand. Dynamic pricing tools are commonly used to optimize rates.

Regarda manages all guest communications, bookings, reviews, and provides assistance throughout the stay.
