Your Property, My Responsibility

Running a short-term rental in Rome is more complex than it looks. Between changing regulations, guest expectations, platform algorithms, and day-to-day maintenance — it quickly becomes a second job. That’s where I come in.

I’m Vania Pace, and I manage every property in the Vi Home portfolio personally. No call centers, no junior staff, no outsourced cleaning crews. When a guest has a question at 11 PM, they reach me. When a faucet needs fixing, I coordinate it the same day. When pricing needs adjusting for a holiday weekend, I’m already on it.

My approach is simple: treat your property like it’s mine, and make sure the numbers work for both of us.

What I Handle

Full-service property management means exactly that. Here’s what’s included:

Listing & Marketing
Professional photography, compelling descriptions, multi-platform distribution on Airbnb, Booking.com, and direct booking channels. Your property gets positioned to attract the right guests at the right price.

Guest Communication
Fast, personal responses in English and Italian — from the first inquiry to the post-checkout review. I handle every message, every request, every special occasion.

Check-in & Check-out
Personal meet and greet at the apartment. No lockboxes, no impersonal key drops. I welcome every guest, walk them through the space, and share local tips tailored to their stay.

Pricing Optimization
Dynamic pricing adjusted for seasonality, local events, competitor rates, and demand patterns. The goal: higher occupancy and better nightly rates throughout the year.

Cleaning & Turnover
Professional deep cleaning between every guest. Fresh linens, restocked amenities, and quality checks before each new arrival.

Legal Compliance
Rome’s tourist rental regulations change constantly. I handle CIR registration, tourist tax collection and reporting, police registration (Alloggiati Web), and all required documentation — so you stay compliant without lifting a finger.

How It Works

1. Free Consultation
We start with a conversation. I visit your property, assess its potential, and give you an honest revenue estimate — no commitments, no pressure.

2. Setup & Launch
I handle everything needed to go live: professional photos, listing creation, pricing setup, legal registration, and any design improvements to maximize your property’s appeal.

3. Ongoing Management
Once your property is live, I manage it end to end — guest communication, check-ins, cleaning, maintenance, pricing, and compliance. You receive regular reports and your earnings on schedule.

Why Work With Me

Rome has no shortage of property management companies. Most of them operate at scale — dozens of properties, rotating staff, generic guest interactions. That works for some owners. But if you want someone who actually knows your apartment, your neighbors, and your guests by name — that’s a different thing entirely.

I keep my portfolio small on purpose. Every owner gets direct access to me — not a customer service team, not a ticket system. When something needs attention, I’m there. When a guest leaves a five-star review mentioning the personalized welcome, that’s not an accident. It’s how I work.

The result: properties in my portfolio consistently achieve high occupancy rates, strong nightly prices, and the kind of guest reviews that drive organic bookings. Better reviews mean better ranking on Airbnb and Booking.com — which means more bookings without extra marketing spend.

Who This Is For

Vi Home property management is designed for owners who want reliable income from their Rome property without the daily workload. Whether you live in Rome, elsewhere in Italy, or abroad — my service adapts to your situation:

Absentee Owners
You own an apartment in Rome but live elsewhere. You need someone on the ground who treats your property like their own — handling everything from guest interactions to emergency plumbing calls. That’s precisely what I do.

First-Time Hosts
You’ve been thinking about renting short-term but don’t know where to start. Rome’s regulations, platform setup, pricing, and guest management can be overwhelming. I handle the entire launch and ongoing operations, so you skip the learning curve entirely.

Frustrated Self-Managers
You’ve been managing your own listing but it’s eating into your time. Late-night messages, last-minute cancellations, coordinating cleaners — it adds up fast. Handing it to me means you get your evenings back.

Investment Property Owners
You see your Rome apartment as an investment and want professional management to maximize returns. I focus on revenue optimization through smart pricing, excellent guest experience, and consistent five-star reviews.

Transparency & Reporting

You’ll always know exactly how your property is performing. I believe in complete transparency — no hidden fees, no vague updates, no surprises.

Monthly Reports
Detailed breakdown of bookings, revenue, occupancy rate, guest ratings, and expenses. You see every euro earned and every euro spent.

Direct Communication
Questions? Call me. Text me. Email me. You’re not dealing with a company — you’re working with me directly. I respond within hours, not days.

No Lock-In Contracts
I don’t believe in trapping owners with long-term contracts. If the results don’t speak for themselves, you’re free to walk away. That’s how confident I am in what I deliver.

Tax Documentation
Tourist tax collection, quarterly reports, and all necessary documentation for your accountant. I handle the paperwork so you don’t have to think about it.

Rome’s Short-Term Rental Market

Rome is one of Europe’s top tourist destinations, attracting visitors year-round. The short-term rental market here is mature but competitive — standing out requires more than just listing your apartment on Airbnb.

Location matters enormously. A well-positioned apartment in Trastevere, Monti, or Flaminio can achieve strong occupancy throughout the year, while properties in quieter neighborhoods appeal to families and longer-stay guests looking for authentic local life.

The regulatory environment in Rome is also evolving. CIR (Codice Identificativo Regionale) registration is mandatory, tourist tax must be collected and reported correctly, and every guest must be registered with the authorities within 24 hours of arrival. Non-compliance carries fines. I stay current with all regulations and ensure your property is always in full compliance.

Pricing strategy is equally critical. Rome’s demand fluctuates significantly — Easter, summer, major events, and holiday weekends command premium rates, while January and February require competitive pricing to maintain occupancy. I adjust rates continuously based on demand patterns, competitor analysis, and platform algorithms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What commission do you charge?
My management fee is a percentage of booking revenue, agreed upfront during our initial consultation. There are no hidden fees. The exact rate depends on the property and services required.

Can I still use the apartment myself?
Absolutely. Just let me know your dates and I’ll block them on all platforms. Many owners use their property for personal stays during off-peak periods.

Do I need to furnish the apartment for short-term rental?
A well-furnished apartment performs significantly better. If your property needs furnishing or updates, I can advise on what matters most for guest satisfaction and provide renovation services through my trusted network of professionals.

How quickly can my property go live?
From our first meeting to the first booking, the timeline typically ranges from 2 to 6 weeks — depending on whether the property needs any preparation, photography, or registration paperwork.

What if something breaks during a guest’s stay?
I have a network of trusted professionals in Rome — plumbers, electricians, appliance technicians — who respond quickly. For urgent issues, I coordinate same-day repairs. For planned maintenance, I schedule work between bookings to avoid disruption.

Do you handle the tourist tax?
Yes. I collect the city tax from guests at check-in and handle all reporting and payment to the municipality of Rome on your behalf. It’s fully documented in your monthly report.
