The rules are the moat.
Italy is next on the plan — the summer mirror of Dubai's winter. The regime tightened sharply through 2025; these are the rules that will matter to your property when we switch it on.
A CIN in every listing.
The national identification code (CIN) has been required in every listing since January 2025, with fines of €500–8,000 for missing or wrong codes. Platforms delist non-compliant properties.
Guests registered within 24 hours.
Every guest is reported to the police portal, Alloggiati Web, within 24 hours of arrival. It is the Italian counterpart of Dubai's three-hour rule — and just as automatable.
Keybox-only self check-in is over.
Since November 2025, identity must be verified in real time — in person or by live video. A lockbox and a door code no longer satisfy the law. Our model already assumes legal check-in, every time.
Three properties make you a business.
The business-activity threshold dropped to three properties for 2026 — crossing it changes your tax treatment. Owners with a small portfolio need to know which side of the line they stand on.
The season is the mirror of Dubai's.
Italy peaks May–September, exactly when Dubai holds. Opposite calendars, same system — that is why Italy is our second market, not a someday idea. We already operate our own villa there.
We operate our own property in Italy today, so the rules above are ones we already live with. Leave your details in the audit form and choose Italy — you'll be first in line when the market opens.
