Many second-home owners in Sardinia wonder whether hiring a property manager is really worth it.
To answer that, let us tell you Maria’s story — the owner of a villa in Olbia — and how she transformed the management of her holiday home, drastically increasing her profits.
Before (DIY management)
Maria listed her villa only on Airbnb, using amateur photos and mostly static pricing. The result? Low occupancy (many weeks with no bookings) and modest earnings. She was overwhelmed by having to respond to guest inquiries at all hours, coordinate cleanings and check-ins, and constantly worried about making mistakes with taxes or paperwork. Limited visibility meant few guests, usually only during peak season.
After (with BAYA Rentals)
By partnering with us, Maria saw a complete turnaround. Our team took professional photos and crafted a compelling listing, publishing it on the top rental platforms. We implemented dynamic pricing — flexible rates that rise in high season and adjust during slower periods — to maximize bookings. We also took care of everything: fast guest communication, personalized check-ins, professional cleaning, and regular maintenance.
Before vs. After Comparison
The results speak for themselves. Here’s how the numbers changed for Maria’s villa:
Occupancy Rate: Before ~35%, After ~75% (almost always booked in high season, and even in low season).
Annual Revenue: Before approx. €15,000, After nearly €30,000 (earnings doubled thanks to optimized pricing and more bookings).
Maria’s Testimonial:
"Entrusting my home to BAYA Rentals was the best decision I could have made. I used to struggle to find guests, and now I have back-to-back bookings all summer and even off-season. I’ve nearly doubled my income and, most importantly, I no longer deal with the daily stress of managing everything. BAYA handles it all professionally, and I can finally enjoy peace of mind!"
