Short-let listings in Castelsardo. Sources: Airbtics, 2026 (growth in listings); AirROI, data 2025-26 (guests).
In Castelsardo listings have grown by almost half in twelve months. That means more choice for guests and more competition for you: next to your home, every summer, dozens of new listings appear, often with the same photos of the old village and the same view over the gulf.
In a market like this, being online is not enough. The home that wins is the one that looks best, replies in the guest's language and has the right price for that week. That is exactly the work we do.
Who the guests in Castelsardo are
94 guests out of 100 come from abroad: mainly France, Germany and Switzerland, then the United States. People booking from Lyon or Zurich want to read the description, rules and conditions in their own language, and ask questions before paying. Whoever gets a clear reply, in their own language and within a few hours, books with us and not from the listing next door.

What we tell guests about your home
🏰 The village by the sea
The medieval centre, the flights of steps and the view of the castle, for those who get around on foot.
🏖️ Lu Bagnu
The beaches a short walk away, for families who want the sea right outside the door.
🧺 Basketry and food
The village's crafts, its food and a base for exploring the Gulf of Asinara.
Old village, Lu Bagnu, countryside: every home has its guest
An apartment in the old town attracts couples and travellers who visit the village on foot. A home in Lu Bagnu is perfect for families. A large house in the countryside works for groups and big families. At the site visit we work out which guest your home speaks to and build the listing, photos and prices for them, instead of chasing the offers of the listings nearby.
How we make your home stand out
✅ A photo shoot made to sell that particular home, not the village in general
✅ Listing in 9 languages on our website, plus publication on the portals and foreign channels; trade fairs and the agencies we work with abroad
✅ Prices updated for the season: August, the strongest month, doesn't sell like May or September
✅ Home checked by the team before going online: the guest finds what they saw in the photos
✅ Quick replies and guest support during the stay
✅ CIN and IUN (the regional code), notification to the Comune (municipality), Alloggiati Web (the police portal for registering guests), ROSS1000 (formerly SIRED; Sardinia's regional tourism statistics portal), tourist tax
✅ Bookings, check-in and check-out with guest identification
✅ Cleaning and change of linen between one stay and the next
Commission-based or guaranteed rent
Percentage management
We keep 20% + VAT, with no fixed fee. What you receive follows the season's bookings.
Guaranteed rent (“vuoto per pieno”)
We agree a guaranteed rent before the season. You receive it even if a week stays vacant.
The right formula depends on the home: we choose it together after the site visit.
Where we start
You write to us
On WhatsApp, by phone or with the form: a couple of lines about the home.
Site visit
In person or by video call: location, spaces, beds, and what is missing to rent legally.
Written proposal
The most suitable formula, with all the terms.
Online
Photos, paperwork and listing: from then on we look after the guests.
Your point of contact
Dott. Edoardo Cigni
Co-Founder · Chief Operating Officer
Founding partner, he personally looks after owners and homes: from the first contact to the site visit, through to the month-end accounts.
Why us and not an online manager
📍 A presence in the area. Our office is in Porto Torres, on the same coast: for site visits, breakdowns and guest emergencies, a local person answers.
🗓️ Since 2011. Holiday homes in northern Sardinia since then: our reviews are public on Google.
🌍 9 languages. With 94% foreign guests, the difference shows in the bookings.
🛡️ A fixed-rent option. If you prefer a certain figure, “vuoto per pieno” (guaranteed rent) guarantees you the rent for the season.
Frequently asked questions from owners in Castelsardo
How much does it cost to entrust you with my home in Castelsardo?
Percentage management costs 20% + VAT, with no fixed fee. With “vuoto per pieno”, on the other hand, you receive a guaranteed rent from us for the season. The valuation of the home is free.
My home is already online: can I hand it over to you?
Yes. We also take on homes already listed on the portals: we fix photos, description, prices and calendar and also put it on our website in 9 languages.
How long am I committing for?
The contract lasts two years. Notice period and exit terms are set out in black and white before we start.
When do I get paid?
Every month you receive the payment and a statement showing bookings, income and expenses.
Can I keep the home for myself for some weeks?
Yes. We block in the calendar the weeks you need before opening bookings, and we rent out the rest of the season.
Do I have to pay for the cleaning?
No, they are paid by the guest: cleaning and linen are already in the quote of the person booking. The organisation between one stay and the next is ours.
What do I risk if the listing doesn't have the CIN?
From 20 May 2026 the portals must remove listings without a valid CIN. On top of that, without a CIN the fine ranges from €800 to €8,000, and in Sardinia the regional IUN code is also required. If your home doesn't have them, we handle the paperwork.
How much is the tourist tax in Castelsardo?
According to L'Unione Sarda (February 2026), for non-hotel accommodation it is €2 per person per night from 1 May to 30 September and €1 for the rest of the year, with reductions beyond 7 nights. How it applies to your home we check with the Comune (municipality); we handle collection and payment.
