Short-term rental management in Palermo, a city people visit all year round

They can, especially for apartments near the university or the hospitals, which work all year round. We manage contracts from 1 to 18 months for out-of-town students, healthcare staff and professionals on assignment, and decide on the data whether to alternate them with short-term rentals.

Demand comes from institutions that never stop: the University of Palermo, with its historic seat in Piazza Marina and the Viale delle Scienze campus, and the city's major hospitals, from the Policlinico to the Ospedale Civico and Villa Sofia-Cervello. Mid-term rentals mean fewer changeovers and steadier income; in exchange, the nightly rate is lower than tourist peaks. That's why we don't choose the model in advance: we compare both scenarios for your home and your area, and the best result is often a mix.

It's for anyone with a home in Palermo who wants it to earn without looking after it in person, because they live in another city, abroad, or simply don't have the time. We take care of everything, and you can keep it for yourself in the weeks you choose.

The service is designed for those who have inherited an apartment in the centre and see it empty most of the year, for those who bought it with income in mind, for those who come back to Sicily in summer or for the holidays and want the home to work the rest of the year. And for those who have been renting it out themselves and can no longer keep up with guests, cleaning and Turist@t submissions.

It depends on location, size, condition and the periods when the home is free, which is why we don't publish standard figures. We prepare an estimate for your home, based on real demand in the area and the dates you want to keep for yourself.

The AirMap figure of about 95 booked nights a year per listing in 2024 doesn't contradict the 40% occupancy: nights are counted over the whole year, occupancy only over the days the homes were available. It is still an average: it includes listings managed every day and others rarely updated, and the difference shows in the calendar. The estimate we give you starts from your home, not from the average.

We register your home's codes in Vesta's name, so submissions, reports and payments are our responsibility. If something went wrong, the penalty, which for a CIN not displayed or not shown in listings ranges from €500 to €5,000 per unit, would fall on Vesta, not on you.

The thresholds have dropped to two homes, both for national tax and under the Sicilian rule. From 2026 the short-term rental regime applies to no more than two apartments, and beyond that a business activity is presumed, as explained by the Italian Revenue Agency (in Italian), and in Sicily tourist letting remains non-business only up to two properties.

For those who already have a CIR, the new regional rules also set a deadline to complete the technical documentation: you'll find the decree and the deadlines on the Sicily page. If this applies to you, we start here in the assessment and check what's missing before publishing any listing.

Yes: you block the dates in the owner portal and we only rent out the days left free. You can change them whenever you like, and we adjust pricing and availability.

You can keep it for the Festino di Santa Rosalia in July, for Christmas with the family or for a few summer weeks in Mondello. It pays to block dates early, especially in summer, when demand is highest.

Our team of 9 people, working remotely on listings, pricing, bookings and administration for more than 80 properties in Italy. In the city it is supported by local partners for housekeeping and maintenance.

We are a short-term rental management company already operating in Sicily, in Marzamemi, and in Palermo our property management follows the same processes: automated where it helps, checked by people. Housekeeping prepares the home between guests, maintenance steps in when needed, and the team keeps the calendar, guests and communications together.
