For some apartments there is a personal welcome: in that case we will confirm the time and methods after booking. Should you have any difficulties upon arrival, our team can be reached immediately.

What services are included in the apartment?

If you have special needs, please contact us before booking and we will do our best to accommodate you.

The pet policy varies from apartment to apartment. Some properties accept them without problems, others have restrictions. Before booking, check the information in the sheet of the apartment you have chosen, it is clearly indicated. If you do not find the information or have doubts, write to us before completing the booking: we prefer to clarify everything in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises upon arrival.

How can I book?

What is the cancellation policy?

The cancellation policy may vary from apartment to apartment and is always clearly indicated in the booking form, before you complete the purchase. In general, we offer solutions with free cancellation up to a certain date: read it carefully when booking. If you need to cancel or change your stay, contact us as soon as possible: in some cases we can find flexible solutions, especially for documented unforeseen events.

Is there a check-out time?

The standard check-out time is before 10:00. We know that it can be inconvenient at times, so if you need to leave later you can ask us for a late check-out: we gladly grant it when your schedule allows it, usually at no extra cost. Just write to us a few days before your check-out and let's see what we can do. Do not leave the apartment without notifying us, it is important to manage the cleaning in time for the next guest.

FAQ Owners

Accordion with frequently asked questions from owners: custody process, contract, revenues, personal use.

How do I get started?

The first step is simple: fill out the free evaluation form on this page. We will contact you within 24 hours to schedule an inspection or video call. We analyze your apartment together, evaluate the income potential and present you with a no-obligation proposal. You don't have to prepare anything in particular: we just talk to you and see the property.

How much do I earn with short-term rentals?

It depends on several factors: the area of the apartment, the square footage, the services available and the seasonality of the Trieste market. Generally speaking, a well-located and professionally managed apartment in Trieste can generate significantly higher revenues than a traditional lease. We estimate this accurately during the free evaluation phase, based on real local market data.

What costs do I have to pay?

Our fee is a percentage of revenues: no fixed monthly costs, no expenses if the apartment does not work. Among the out-of-pocket costs that remain the responsibility of the owner are periodic supplies (linen, consumption kits) and any extraordinary maintenance. Everything else, guest management, cleaning, administrative formalities, photographs, promotion on portals, is included in our service. We explain everything in detail during the consultation.

Can I use the apartment for myself?

Absolutely. The apartment remains yours in all respects. You can block the dates you want for personal use: for holidays, to host friends or family, or for any other need. We only ask for reasonable notice to allow us to manage the calendar without overlapping with already confirmed bookings. There is no limit to the number of days you can reserve for yourself.

How is guest damage handled?

Before each check-in, we collect a security deposit via the booking platform, as a guarantee for any damages. In the event of damage, we document everything with photos, report it to the platform and start the refund process. We also work with specific insurance coverage for short-term rentals, which offer additional protection for the most serious cases. We keep you informed every step of the way.

How am I updated on the trend?

Receive a detailed monthly report with all the data: nights booked, occupancy rate, gross and net revenues, reviews received. If you want to update yourself at any time you can contact us directly: we are always available. We believe in total transparency, you will always know how it went, how much you earned and how your apartment is performing compared to the market.

Do I need to bring the apartment up to a specific standard?

Not necessarily. We evaluate each apartment as it is and honestly tell you what can be optimized. In some cases, small interventions are enough: a few furnishing accessories, a coat of paint, professional photographs, to significantly improve online perception and booking rate. In other cases, the apartment is already ready. We guide you, without imposing anything: every suggestion we give you has a precise economic return.

Can I get out of the contract if I'm not satisfied

Yes. Our contract provides for a defined and proportionate notice of exit, no multi-year commitments, no disproportionate penalties. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the service, you can let us know and agree together on the timing for an orderly conclusion of the relationship. Our priority is that you are really happy to work with us – there's no point in holding someone against their will.
