Short-term rental management in Marzamemi and south-eastern Sicily

In Contrada Calafarina we manage apartments for four guests in a gated residence, with two shared pools and on-site parking, a couple of kilometres from the historic centre of Marzamemi. We look after them as we would look after your home: listing, up-to-date pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance.

You can see them on our booking site: Hidden Gem, a duplex with a sea-view terrace, and Sea Nest, on the first floor.

Guests can also find them on our apartments for rent in Marzamemi page.

It is for owners with a home between Marzamemi, Pachino and Noto who want it to earn in the months when they are not in Sicily, without having to manage it from afar. We take care of everything and you keep the weeks you choose for yourself, whether in August or at Easter.

Three kinds of owners write to us most: those who come down to Marzamemi for a few weeks in summer and want the rest of the season to pay, those who bought on the coast as an investment, and those with a family home that stays closed for months. Then there are those who used to let it themselves and now find the changeovers, the laundry and the daily closures on Turist@t too much.

There is no figure that fits everyone: the view, outdoor space, distance from the sea and the weeks you keep for yourself change the result a great deal. That is why we prepare an estimate for each individual home, based on real demand in the area.

We register your home's codes in Vesta's name, so reporting and filings are our responsibility. The penalties are not small: according to the Ministry of Tourism (in Italian) they range from €800 to €8,000 for letting without a CIN, from €500 to €5,000 per unit if the CIN is not displayed or shown in listings, and from €600 to €6,000 for each breach on safety devices. With us, if something goes wrong, the penalty falls on Vesta, not on you.

We act as your tax withholding agent: we pay the cedolare secca, Italy's flat tax on rental income, and calculate it on your share, net of commission and costs, not on what guests pay. Where permitted, we treat part of the expenses as a reimbursement of costs, so they do not count as income and are not taxed.

For decisions that affect your overall income, your accountant's advice remains key: we give them a clear summary of takings, costs and taxes paid.

Because we already know the Marzamemi area and the Sicilian rules from our everyday work, and we take on the administrative responsibilities in our own name. And because everything starts with a free assessment: you decide only after seeing the estimate.

The first step is to fill in the free assessment form with a few details about the home. We reply with an estimate and a suggested calendar, and only if the proposal convinces you do we take over the codes, the listing and the guests.
