Two apartments in the same building can earn very different amounts. The difference is hardly ever the location: it is how the home is presented. Here is how to prepare it so that it really performs.
The first photo decides everything
Online, guests choose in a few seconds, looking at the listing's cover photo. A bright, tidy, professional photo brings more clicks, more bookings and higher prices.
You do not need a renovation: you need natural light, uncluttered rooms and a well-taken shot. It is the investment with the fastest return of all.
Home staging: small touches, big results
Our method includes home staging for every home, without exception. Coordinated textiles, a neutral colour on the walls, a few plants and warm lighting completely change how an apartment comes across.
The goal is not luxury furnishing, but a welcoming, magazine-ready space where guests immediately picture themselves on holiday.
The amenities guests really look for
Fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen and hotel-standard quality linen are what make the difference in reviews. In Sanremo, where people come for the sea and for events, summer comfort and being close to amenities also matter a great deal.
A thoughtful welcome pack and clear instructions are worth more than any needless luxury: they are the details that turn into five stars.
Safety and compliance
Before you publish, the home must be compliant: gas and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and, of course, the CIN (the national identification code) on display. It is a legal requirement, as well as a sign of professionalism.
You will find all the obligations explained in our guide to taxes, CIN and regulations: preparing the home properly also means avoiding fines.
The touch of people who do it every day
Preparing a home for short-term rental takes an eye for detail, time and the right materials. It is a profession, not a DIY weekend.
Abitare takes care of home staging, photos, video and a dedicated page for every apartment it manages. Then the home goes into Abitare OS, the platform we work on: publication on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, smaller portals and our direct website, with calendars and prices kept in sync by a channel manager, dynamic pricing and online check-in with identity verification. We help you get off on the right foot, so your home earns from day one.
