Short-term rental management in Courmayeur: your Mont Blanc home earns, we do the rest

For most homes, short-term rental with flexible stays works better than a fixed Saturday-to-Saturday week. A rigid calendar leaves empty exactly the nights that sell best, the ones around public holidays and long weekends.

We see it in Cervinia, where we manage apartments: full weeks are less and less in demand, and guests mostly book 3–5 night stays. That is why we set minimum stays period by period, instead of thinking in seven-day blocks.

A seasonal rental, one tenant for the whole winter, remains an option for owners who prefer less turnover and accept lower income; a mixed approach, seasonal in winter and short-term in summer, is another. We decide together based on location, distance from the centre and the lifts, number of beds and the weeks you want to keep for yourself.

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:

• the withholding: the intermediary that collects the rent applies a 21% withholding on account and pays it;
• the two-apartment limit: from 2026 the short-term rental regime only applies if you use no more than two apartments for this purpose in a year; above that, the activity is presumed to be a business.

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.
