2021 C-19 and Holidays in Italy
How are you managing your bookings for 2021? Last year we took a few bookings and this year with so much uncertainty about lockdown and C-19, we have declined bookings for 2021 summer until we know more about when Italy will open and the restrictions. Interested to hear how you are managing bookings...

When we bought our villa we paid an extra 1.5% €3k to seal the deal and ensure that everything was left at the villa. At the time we didn't know the area very well and wanted to get it up and rented asap. Plus we simply didn't want to arrive and have to shop for everything from beds to kitchen equip...

We also added final clean as an extra charge and increased the damage deposit for €250 - €350. Overall for peak weeks, the price increase was 15%. We secured more...

Sorry I may be too late but I vote washing machine. We travel as a couple in mainly self catering accom and I have never ever used the dishwasher. I have used the washing machine for the odd/short wash of a few items, if we are staying more than a few days. A few questions - do you have a lot of cro...

Hi Airbnb have a extenuating circumstances policy. Unfortunately the cost is 100% bourne by the host. I think the only option is to spread your risk and secure bookings across a number of different sites. Easier said than done as Airbnb continue their march for world domination. Since the intro of t...

Hi Some great feedback from LMH's. Your offer looks lovely and incredibly comfortable. My comments are based on guest approach. I also found the property listed on Airbnb, you are not the cheapest or the most expensive. You do state max of 2 people, which limits and means your price per head is high...

After researching on LMH, I nervously converted all of my listings to Euros and this year my income from bookings are 20% up. I asked myself the question - would I ...

We are in Italy and our pool is 12x6m. We are not on site and our guy looks after the pool and the garden. He visits twice a week for 4 hours each time. Cleans, runs the robot, changes the filter, checks the chems etc and also does the garden too. May be we are overdoing it? I hate to think of the p...
