Short Lets in Porto Rotondo: How the Market Works

Two panels separating Porto Rotondo, a planned village in the Comune di Olbia, from the Costa Smeralda, a consortium on a stretch of coast largely in the Comune di Arzachena.

Porto Rotondo is in the Comune di Olbia, not the Costa Smeralda. What that changes for your obligations, your pricing and your season.

Buying a Property in Olbia to Rent Out

Two columns comparing a coastal flat and a flat in Olbia town on illustrative figures: the coastal one costs more and sells 75 nights at a high rate, the town one sells 180 nights at a lower rate and ends with the higher gross yield.

Why price per square metre is not yield, how to read official OMI values, and what a non-resident buyer must settle before the deed.

How to Choose a Property Manager in Sardinia

A two-column sheet listing the formalities of a short let in Sardinia, with an empty column headed OWNER and an empty column headed MANAGER, and a closing line asking in whose name each one is filed.

Delegating a holiday let from abroad: the questions to ask, who files the CIN and the tourist tax, and what the commission really covers.

Insurance for Holiday Rentals in Italy

Three panels: security deposit for small damage, AirCover for platform bookings only, insurance policy for liability to third parties on every booking.

Does your home policy cover short letting? What Italian law requires, what Sardinia makes compulsory, and why AirCover is not insurance.

When Does a Short-Term Rental Become a Business?

Three panels on the thresholds that turn a short let into a business in Sardinia: the tax regime stops at two properties from 2026, the regional rule makes three units a registered accommodation business, and the test that separates a managed operation from agency work is who signs the contracts with guests.

Two properties for tax from 2026, three units for a Sardinian C.A.V., and one test that decides the rest: in whose name the guest contracts are signed.

How Much Can a Holiday Rental in Olbia Earn?

Three panels on Sardinian tourism in 2025: guest nights grew about 30 per cent in high season from June to August, about 40 per cent in the shoulder months of April, May, September and October, while the winter months account for only 4 per cent of the annual total.

What a holiday let in Olbia realistically takes, why the nightly rate tells you little, and where the official figures say the growth actually is.

IMU in Olbia: What Non-Resident Property Owners Pay

Three panels comparing municipal property tax rates in Olbia: a short let pays the ordinary rate of 10.60 per thousand, a controlled-rent contract pays 5.40 per thousand with the tax reduced to 75 per cent, and a non-resident pensioner pays 5.30 per thousand but only while the property is not let.

Short lets in Olbia pay the full IMU rate of 10.60 per thousand. And a pensioner abroad on the half rate loses it the moment the property is let.

Short-Term Rental Tax in Italy: Cedolare Secca or IRPEF?

Three panels on the Italian flat tax for short lets: one property of your choosing is taxed at twenty-one per cent, every other property at twenty-six per cent, and the tax is calculated on the gross rent with no deduction for costs.

Italy taxes short-let income at 26%, or 21% on one property you nominate each year. What the platform withholds, and the new two-property limit.

Tourist Tax in Olbia: What Property Owners Need to Know

Four panels following a stay in Olbia: the guest nights, capped at seven consecutive nights, the tourist tax charged per person per night, the quarterly declaration filed online, and the payment made through PagoPA within fifteen days of each quarter.

Olbia charges a tourist tax, and the owner is the one the Comune holds responsible. Rates, exemptions, the seven-night cap and who actually pays it over.

Self Check-In and Keyboxes in Italy: What Property Owners Need to Know

Three panels showing that access to a property, by keybox, smart lock or code, is not the same as identifying the guest against their document at the moment of access, and that both are separate from reporting the guest to the police through Alloggiati Web.

Keyboxes are not banned and self check-in is not illegal. What the Council of State actually decided in November 2025, and what it means if you live abroad.
