In Palermo we look after homes in the old town, Kalsa, Politeama and the other neighbourhoods nearby: short-, mid- or long-term rentals, with listings, prices, guests, cleaning and maintenance handled by us and a statement every month. The visit is free.
Palermo has a long season: from March to November visitors come for the old town, the markets, the sea at Mondello and trips around the island, and the airport connects the city with direct flights from all over Europe. The most sought-after homes are in the old town, in the Kalsa, between the Politeama and Via Libertà, or at Mondello for the summer. Light, balconies and care over the details matter here: they are what guests photograph and talk about in their reviews.
In the winter months the university and the hospitals look for mid-term lets, and a well-kept home finds tenants out of season too. When we visit, we tell you frankly what the home needs in order to earn and how to organise the year.

Questions about Palermo
All the questionsWhen is high season in Palermo?
From Easter to the end of October, with the peaks between June and September. In the winter months demand is lower but doesn’t disappear: events, work and the university keep the city alive.
How does the tourist tax work in Palermo?
The city council applies it, per person and per night, under its own rules: rates, exemptions and deadlines are on the council's website, linked on this page. How it's handled for your home we agree with you at the start; for tax matters, your accountant is the reference.
Do you do property visits in Palermo too?
Yes: we arrange a visit and tell you in person what the home needs and what it could earn. If the home is outside the areas we cover, we tell you straight away, so you don’t waste your time.
How much does the service cost?
A percentage of confirmed bookings. No monthly fee: if the home doesn't earn, you don't pay. The percentage depends on the service and the city, and we put it in writing in the estimate.
What do I receive every month?
The statement: bookings, expenses and our commission, line by line. If you want to check before the month is over, there's our app. All the arrangements are agreed with you and written into the contract.
