In the beginning, we managed the bookings of a few houses of family and friends in North Sardinia. We followed everything personally: requests, organisation of stays, communication with guests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.85; color: #555; margin-bottom: 0;\">It was a parallel project to our life in the city.
