Guest check-in a key box can’t cover
Since the Consiglio di Stato ruling of 2025, guests must be identified in person or by real-time video — key-box-only check-in is banned. I meet your guests, or verify them live, so every arrival is compliant.
For rental & second-home owners
If you rent your Umbrian home to guests — or leave it empty between visits — Italy’s short-let rules put a growing list of obligations on you, and many of them are difficult to meet from abroad. I hold them for you, in Italian, and report to you in English.
Since the Consiglio di Stato ruling of 2025, guests must be identified in person or by real-time video — key-box-only check-in is banned. I meet your guests, or verify them live, so every arrival is compliant.
Every short-let needs a national CIN and, in Umbria, a regional CIR, plus guest-flow statistics filed monthly. No CIN means fines of €800–8,000. I hold your written delega and file everything on time.
Guest details must reach the Questura within 24 hours of arrival — 6 hours if the stay is no longer than 24 hours. As your mandated gestore I hold the credentials and carry the obligation for you.
Tourist-tax collection and filings, and the required gas + carbon-monoxide detectors and extinguishers — installed, maintained and documented.
Many Italian policies suspend theft cover — and restrict water-damage cover — after 30–45 days empty. My documented visits give you dated evidence the house was attended, so it’s never simply “abandoned”.
Cedolare secca is 26%, reduced to 21% on one property you nominate in your tax return, and from the third unit let short-term the taxman presumes a business. I coordinate with your commercialista so nothing is a surprise — I organise, they advise.
Compliance figures on this page were checked on 5 August 2026. This is general information, not legal or tax advice: the rules change, and your circumstances may differ. Always confirm your own position with your commercialista or a qualified adviser.
I coordinate check-ins, compliance, cleaning and care, keep your home guest-ready or winter-safe, and send you clear updates in English. You bought a home in Umbria, not a second job.

A documented Home Watch visit isn’t a quick look around — it’s a record you can keep. Each report includes:
Dated evidence your home was attended — useful if your insurer ever asks.

A monthly visit with a dated photo report to your inbox.
Fortnightly visits, arrival & departure preparation, priority call-out, post & admin.
No IVA (forfettario regime) — an agency’s “20% + IVA” is really 24.4%, so compare the true, all-in cost.
