Do.Ma looks after your Bologna flat from first letting to day-to-day paperwork, whether you live round the corner or abroad: real revenue management, not software deciding on its own, and a mandato con rappresentanza signed in our name that lowers your tax bill.
“Federico has been looking after the holiday flat my partner and I own for almost a year, with excellent results. […] We can only recommend Federico: he pays attention to detail and is meticulous.”Jessica B., owner of a flat managed by Do.Ma, Google review (translated from Italian)Read the reviews on Google
«Quanto convengono gli affitti brevi? Il caso di Bologna» (Are short lets worth it? The Bologna case)
Ludovica Brognoli’s article is built on real figures from 14 flats managed by Do.Ma: what they earn, what the platforms keep and what the owner actually takes home.
Read the article in Corriere di Bologna (Italian)We sign the contracts with guests ourselves, as if the flat were ours, which is why owners who live outside Italy can work with us just as easily. For you it means fewer worries and, with the cedolare secca (Italy's 21% flat tax on rental income), a real tax advantage: tax is worked out on the net, not on the gross.
Every price is reviewed by hand, every day, looking at trade fairs, events and real demand across Bologna. Not a piece of software moving prices with no logic, the way many of our competitors do.
CIN, CIR, GEIS, Alloggiati Web, ISTAT, tassa di soggiorno: short lets in Italy come with a long list of formalities, and they change often. We take care of them, with compliant contracts.
Cleaning is invoiced to the owner directly by the outside firm, with no hidden margin inside our fee. How we work out our fee · How to choose a property manager
We look at the property and your expectations together. If needed, we bring in a surveyor and an accountant for the land-registry and tax picture. No obligation.
You receive a realistic multi-year revenue projection and the fee percentage set for your property.
We take care of photos, listings, calendar and administrative formalities right up to the first check-in.
Prices, guests, cleaning and monthly statements: all you get is the result, by email, every month.
From the historic centre outwards, every home has its own rules. Three of the fifteen we look after today.
Glass doors onto the greenery, pale armchairs and a pool table: a house people linger in.
The shutters open onto a porticoed street and a bell tower: the old town comes indoors.
An open staircase, plants and light from above: a space that surprises you as you walk in.
No track record, no reviews, no listing online: just a property in the very centre of Bologna with five rooms, each with its own bathroom. We built the project from scratch, from the fit-out to the positioning on the channels: over €200,000 in gross revenue in the first year of management.
If you are considering buying a property to let out, we work alongside you in assessing the proposals, to see which ones genuinely make sense. For each one we build a dedicated business plan, so you see the expected returns before you sign, not after completion.
A free valuation, with no obligation: we tell you clearly what to expect before you start.
