Why Property Owners Choose FloHost

Managing a vacation rental in Florence from abroad — or even locally — is surprisingly demanding. Guests expect instant responses at all hours, cleaning teams need coordination between same-day turnovers, and Italian bureaucracy requires careful attention. One missed guest message or a maintenance issue left unaddressed can result in negative reviews that take months to recover from.

FloHost was founded by property owners who experienced these challenges firsthand. We understand that your property is both a personal investment and a business asset, and we treat it accordingly. Our team lives in Florence, knows the market intimately, and has built relationships with the best local service providers over years of operation.

Unlike large management companies that treat every property the same, we create customized management plans based on your property's unique characteristics, location, and target guest profile. A luxury apartment near the Duomo requires a different approach than a family villa in the Oltrarno — and we know exactly how to optimize each.

Our clients typically see a 30-45% increase in rental income within the first year, while spending significantly less time worrying about their properties. Many of our owners live abroad and visit Florence only for pleasure — exactly as it should be.

Most Visited City in Italy

Florence attracts over 10 million visitors annually, making it one of Italy's most consistently profitable vacation rental markets. The city's extraordinary concentration of Renaissance art, world-class cuisine, and central Tuscan location ensures strong demand across all seasons — not just during summer peaks.

The city's strict regulations on new hotel construction have made quality vacation rentals increasingly valuable. Properties near the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce, and the Oltrarno command premium rates, especially during events like Pitti Uomo, the Florence Marathon, and the numerous cultural festivals throughout the year.

However, Florence's rental market is also becoming more competitive and more regulated. Professional management is no longer optional — it's essential for maximizing returns while staying compliant with evolving local regulations. FloHost gives you the expertise and local presence you need.

FloHost increased my rental income by 40% in the first year. Their attention to guest experience is remarkable — my reviews went from 4.3 to 4.9 stars. I live in London and never worry about my Florence apartment.

Marco R.

Property Owner, Santa Croce

I tried managing my rental myself for two years and it was exhausting. FloHost took over everything seamlessly. The monthly reports are incredibly detailed, and my property manager always responds within minutes. I wish I had found them sooner.

Elena S.

Property Owner, Oltrarno

We bought our Florence apartment as an investment and FloHost has exceeded every expectation. They handled the permits, the setup, the photography — everything. Our property earned more in its first six months with FloHost than in our entire previous year of self-management.
