Tipico Villas

Property Management for Villas, Trulli, Masserie and Holiday Homes in Puglia

Tipico Villas is a property promotion and management agency based in Ostuni, in the heart of the Itria Valley, specialising in enhancing and managing villas, trulli, masserie and holiday homes for short-term rentals.

Through the Tipico Villas and Tipico Collection platforms, we directly promote the properties we manage, connecting owners with guests and helping generate direct bookings.

At the same time, thanks to our integration with the leading online booking platforms, we increase each property’s visibility while centrally managing availability, rates, calendars and reservations.

However, our service goes far beyond online promotion.

We act as the owner’s dedicated Property Manager, taking care of the property with attention and professionalism and overseeing every stage within our area of responsibility: from marketing and promoting the property to managing reservations, as well as welcoming and assisting guests throughout their stay.

Our goal is simple: to enhance the value of your property, increase its profitability and simplify its day-to-day management through a professional, transparent and technology-driven service.


Tipico Villas Services

Property Promotion and Visibility

Following a careful assessment of the property, we create a professional presentation designed to make it competitive in the short-term rental market.

We prepare optimised property descriptions, showcase the property through high-quality photography, and publish it across our own platforms and the leading online booking channels.

Every detail is carefully considered to increase visibility, highlight the property’s unique features and improve its performance.

Your property can be promoted through:

  • Tipico Villas
  • Tipico Collection
  • Booking.com
  • Airbnb
  • Expedia
  • other online booking platforms and partners.

This allows your property to benefit from both our direct promotional activity and the international exposure provided by the leading travel marketplaces.


Free Channel Manager

Owners who choose Tipico Villas have access to a free Channel Manager, a professional tool that makes it possible to manage multiple sales channels from one centralised system.

The system automatically synchronises availability, rates, calendars and reservations across all connected platforms.

This significantly reduces manual work and management errors while, most importantly, minimising the risk of overbooking.

Whenever a reservation is made through one of the connected channels, availability is automatically updated across the other platforms.


Dedicated App for Property Owners

Tipico Villas also provides a dedicated app that allows property owners to monitor bookings in real time and access information relating to their properties.

The app provides a simple and immediate overview of booking activity and can also deliver automated recommendations designed to optimise revenue.

Technology and professional supervision work together to make property management more efficient and transparent.


A Dedicated Property Manager for Your Property

Choosing Tipico Villas means having a dedicated Property Manager who knows your property and personally oversees all aspects of its management that fall within our service.

Our work does not end when a reservation is confirmed.

We also take care of welcoming and assisting guests, providing attentive support throughout their stay.

Our objective is twofold: to provide guests with a professional and enjoyable experience while giving property owners the peace of mind of knowing that their property is being managed with care.


Guest Management and Assistance

Tipico Villas takes care of all guest-related aspects, from the booking stage through to the stay itself.

In particular, we manage:

  • reservation management;
  • guest communications relating to their stay;
  • guest reception and welcome;
  • guest assistance;
  • support and monitoring throughout the stay.

Careful guest management not only improves the quality of the overall experience but also helps protect the property’s reputation and supports its long-term performance.


Cleaning, Gardening and Pool Maintenance

Tipico Villas does not directly provide cleaning, gardening or pool maintenance services.

Our activity focuses on property promotion, reservation management, and welcoming and assisting guests.

When required, however, we can put property owners in contact with external companies and local professionals who can provide cleaning, gardening and other operational services required by the property.

This allows owners to remain free to choose their preferred service providers while also benefiting from our support in identifying trusted professionals in the local area.


Why Choose Tipico Villas?

Tipico Villas aims to be more than simply an intermediary for reservations: our goal is to become a trusted partner for property owners in the management of their short-term rental business.

We combine local expertise, experience in the tourism industry and advanced digital tools to enhance the potential of every property and make its management easier.

Choosing Tipico Villas means benefiting from:

  • professional property promotion;
  • visibility across the leading booking platforms;
  • the opportunity to generate bookings through our direct channels;
  • an included Channel Manager;
  • centralised management of availability, rates and reservations;
  • a dedicated app for property owners;
  • a dedicated Property Manager;
  • guest reception and assistance;
  • greater visibility and control over your rental activity;
  • a transparent management model.

The property owner therefore remains in control of their business, while Tipico Villas takes care of the commercial and management activities included in the service.


How Much Does Tipico Villas Property Management Cost?

Access to the services and tools provided by Tipico Villas does not involve a fixed fee.

Tipico Villas is remunerated through an agreed Property Management commission on reservations generated through the official Tipico Villas platform or through partner channels such as Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and other online travel agencies.

For reservations originating from external platforms, it is important to consider that, in addition to the Property Management commission agreed with Tipico Villas, commissions charged directly by the individual booking platform may also apply.

These commissions may vary depending on the channel used and the commercial terms applied by the relevant platform.

This model allows property owners to clearly understand the costs associated with each reservation while benefiting from Tipico Villas’ promotion, management and guest assistance services without hidden fixed costs.


Who Receives the Booking Payments?

One of the key principles of our management model is complete transparency when it comes to booking payments.

The property owner’s bank details are entered into the relevant online booking platforms so that reservation payments can be credited directly to the owner’s bank account, according to the payment procedures of each platform.

This means that Tipico Villas does not necessarily need to collect the booking amount and subsequently transfer it to the property owner.

The owner retains direct control over their booking revenue, while Tipico Villas manages the operational and administrative activities relating to reservations that are included in the service.

Tipico Villas subsequently charges the agreed Property Management commission by direct debit from the owner’s bank account.

This system is designed to ensure clarity, control and transparency, allowing property owners to directly monitor the payments they receive as well as the costs associated with the management service.


Tipico Villas: Enhancing Your Property, Simplifying Its Management

Managing a short-term rental property means coordinating promotion, pricing, availability, reservations, communications and guest assistance.

Tipico Villas brings these activities together within a single management model, supporting property owners with advanced technology and a dedicated Property Manager.

From promoting the property and managing reservations to welcoming and assisting guests throughout their stay, we work towards one clear objective:

to maximise the value and potential of your property, simplify its management and ensure that you remain informed and in control at all times.
