Short-term rental management · Cortina d'Ampezzo
Updated October 2026
We handle short-term rental management for your second home in Cortina d'Ampezzo: listings, pricing, guests, cleaning, paperwork and tax. You decide when to use it; we take care of the rest.
Why Cortina
In 2025 Cortina d'Ampezzo recorded 1,081,186 guest nights, up from 994,456 in 2024, and it is among the top 20 municipalities in the Veneto region by guest nights (Veneto Region statistics, in Italian). In winter guests ski on the 120 km of pistes of the Cortina ski area, part of Dolomiti Superski; in summer they hike and ride through the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites.
From 6 to 22 February 2026 the valley hosted the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, which carried its name around the world. For an owner that means working with two different calendars: the snow season and the hiking season. In the mountains the service is also available in Cervinia, Valtournenche and Courmayeur.
Key strengths
Over 80 properties managed in Italy · 6,100 guests hosted from January to October 2026
Different rates for winter on the slopes and summer at altitude, with an eye on long weekends and the weeks in between.
We publish your home on international booking platforms and follow every enquiry and booking through to arrival, because a lost booking rarely comes back.
Your home's regional code and CIN are registered to Vesta: if a requirement were done wrong, the fine would fall on us, not on you.
What we do for you
We run every part of your Cortina home's rental: listings, pricing, bookings, guest welcome, cleaning, maintenance management, review management, and paperwork and compliance. It is not just publishing listings: a dedicated team follows every stay, from the guest's arrival to checking the home after departure.
Many people call it Airbnb management: we do it across several booking platforms, with local partners in Cortina. The service includes:
Adding value
You do not need a luxury property: what matters is location relative to the lifts and the centre, the condition of the furnishings and practical amenities, such as a parking space or somewhere to store skis and boots.
Before the listing goes live, we tell you which improvements are worth the money because they lift rates and reviews, and which ones can wait.
Who it is for
You hand it over to us: our team runs listings, bookings, guests and compliance remotely, and our local partners in Cortina take care of keys, check-in, cleaning and inspections. You block the weeks you want to keep for yourself and follow bookings and income in the owner portal, wherever you live, in Italy or abroad.
It is designed for owners of a second home in the Ampezzo valley, in the centre or in the hamlets, who live far from Cortina. It also suits owners who let it themselves for a few weeks a year and want the home to work for longer, without giving up their own holidays.
We also handle what a mountain home needs and a city flat does not: the changeover between winter and summer set-up, and checks during the empty weeks of November and May, when the lifts are closed.
Rental strategy
For most homes in Cortina, short-term rental with flexible stays works better than a fixed Saturday-to-Saturday week. With a rigid calendar, the most sought-after nights are the ones left empty: public holidays and long weekends.
That is why we set minimum stays season by season, rather than in seven-day blocks.
There are other routes too: a seasonal rental, with one tenant for the whole winter, less turnover and lower income, or a mixed formula, seasonal in winter and short-term in summer. The choice depends on where the home is relative to the centre and the lifts, the number of beds and the weeks you want to keep for yourself.
Revenue potential
In Cortina results vary a lot from one home to another: location, size, beds, parking, furnishings and available weeks all count, so we do not give standard figures. We prepare an estimate for your home, based on its features and on real demand in the area.
The weeks that make the year are Christmas and New Year, February and the Dolomites summer from June to September; November and May, with the lifts closed, stay slow. With dynamic pricing we raise rates at the peaks and fill nights when demand drops.
Free, no-obligation analysis tailored to your property.
Management costs
Vesta does not publish a standard fee or a percentage range: our fee depends on the property and on the services you want to delegate. You get it after the free assessment, with how it is calculated and a full list of what is included.
Management can cover every service listed above, from listing photos to paying the taxes: you choose which ones to delegate. Every month you receive your payout, and you can follow income in real time in the owner portal. You get the income estimate and every cost, item by item, before you sign: until you decide, there is no commitment.
Regulations and compliance
You need the tourist rental notice to the Veneto Region on the ROSS1000 platform, which assigns the regional identification code, and the national CIN code; then guest registration with the police at every arrival and, periodically, ISTAT statistical reporting and the municipal tourist tax. We handle it all, from the first notice to the quarterly deadlines, and the regional code and CIN are registered to Vesta.
Every step is explained in our guide to short-term rental rules in Veneto.
| Requirement | What it involves | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Tourist rental notice and regional code | Sent to the Region before you start renting, through ROSS1000; once validated, the system assigns the home's identification code (Veneto Region, Regional Law 11/2013 art. 27 bis, in Italian) | Vesta, registered to Vesta |
| CIN (national identification code) | Obtained in the BDSR database starting from the regional code; it does not replace the regional notice and must be displayed on a plaque at the outside entrance and shown in online listings (Veneto Region, CIN FAQ, in Italian) | Vesta, registered to Vesta |
| Guest registration | Guest details sent to the police via Alloggiati Web, within 24 hours of arrival | Vesta, at every check-in |
| ISTAT reporting | Guest statistics sent periodically to the Region through ROSS1000 | Vesta |
| Tourist tax | Due per person per night, up to 5 consecutive nights; reported and paid to the municipality by the 15th of the month after each quarter, with an annual return to the Italian Revenue Agency by 30 June (Municipality of Cortina d'Ampezzo) | Vesta |
| Tax on rental income | Cedolare secca (flat tax) and the intermediary's withholding (see below) | Vesta, as withholding agent |
One detail that only applies here: the Municipality of Cortina has not joined any agreement with Airbnb for collecting the tourist tax. It must therefore be collected and paid by the manager on Airbnb bookings too, and we do it.
We register your home's regional code and CIN in Vesta's name. That is why filings with the Region (ISTAT included), the police and the municipality are our responsibility: if a requirement were forgotten or done wrong, any administrative fine would fall on Vesta, not on you, and you would never have to pay it first.
Tax management
Under the cedolare secca flat-tax regime, short-term rental income is taxed at 26%, reduced to 21% for a single property chosen by the owner. As the intermediary we act as withholding agent: we apply the withholding required by law and pay it ourselves, with no calculations on your side for each booking.
The rules are set out in the Italian Revenue Agency's guide to short-term rentals (April 2026, in Italian). Two points worth knowing:
We help you choose the most suitable regime and, where the rules allow, treat part of the expenses as reimbursements so they stay out of taxable income. For your personal situation, always check with your accountant.
Personal use
Yes: you block the weeks you want to keep for yourself, and we only let the dates left free. In the owner portal you always have your calendar, bookings and income in view.
At the start we set your dates together, from Christmas in the mountains to your summer weeks, and update them whenever your plans change.
Why choose us
We already work with mountain homes in Cervinia, with the same two seasons and the same kind of guest.
From the listing to paying the taxes, with guest welcome, cleaning, maintenance management and paperwork in between.
Pricing and calendar follow Cortina's strongest weeks, without neglecting the care of the home.
A remote team and local partners in Cortina: your home is looked after even when you are far away.
The periodic report and the owner portal always tell you how your home is doing.
First comes the free assessment; the contract, only if it convinces you.
About us
Listings, pricing, bookings, guests and administration are handled remotely by our team of 9 people, from property management to revenue management. In Cortina we work with local partners: local hosts, housekeeping and maintenance staff.
The local host welcomes guests when needed and stops by at the end of each stay; then our quality control checks with our partners that everything is clean and working before the next arrival.
How it works
The first step is the free assessment: you tell us about the home, we visit it in Cortina and give you an income estimate. If you want to go ahead, we publish the listings and from then on guests, cleaning and paperwork are on us.
We look at the home, its location and amenities to see which guests it suits, in winter and in summer.
We set rates, booking platforms, minimum stays and the weeks you keep for yourself.
Photos and listings go online, then check-in, cleaning and maintenance management for every stay.
We read results and reviews season after season and change what is not working.
Do you also own a home in another mountain resort? The service is also available in Cervinia, Valtournenche and Courmayeur.
