Two flats in the same building can earn very differently. The difference is almost never location: it's how the home is presented. Here's how to prepare it so it really performs.
The first photo decides everything
Online, guests choose in seconds, looking at the listing's cover photo. A bright, tidy, professional shot brings more clicks, more bookings and higher prices.
No renovation needed: you need natural light, uncluttered rooms and a well-taken photo. It's the fastest-returning investment there is.
Home staging: small touches, big impact
Our method applies home staging to every home, no exceptions. Coordinated textiles, a neutral wall colour, a few plants and warm lighting completely change how a flat feels.
The goal isn't luxury decor, but a welcoming, magazine-worthy space where the guest instantly pictures their holiday.
The amenities guests actually want
Fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a full kitchen and quality hotel-standard linen are what move the needle in reviews. In Sanremo, visited for the sea and events, summer comfort and proximity to services matter too.
A thoughtful welcome set and clear instructions beat any pointless luxury: these details are what turn into five stars.
Safety and compliance
Before publishing, the home must be compliant: gas and carbon-monoxide detectors, extinguishers, and the CIN on display. It's a legal requirement as well as a mark of professionalism.
You'll find every obligation explained in our guide to taxes, CIN and rules: preparing the home well also means avoiding fines.
The touch of those who do it daily
Preparing a home for short-term rental takes an eye, time and the right materials. It's a craft, not a DIY weekend.
