Your Sardinia vacation rental sells itself. You shouldn't pay to sell it.
Guests come to Sardinia for the water, the old towns, the evenings on the terrace and the fish from the grill. That is what your holiday home offers, and what you already put into every stay.
We want the holiday to stay on the island
Sardinia lives on its summer. The houses belong to families who have been here for generations, and a large part of every week’s rent leaves the island before anyone here sees it, as commission to companies that hold no key, know no beach and have never met the neighbour.
We want to turn that around. Not with a better portal, but by leaving out the detour: the guest finds the house, writes to the owner, and the sum the two agree on is the sum that arrives.

For the owner
The price you set is the price you are paid. No commission on your holiday home in Sardinia, no blocked weeks in your calendar, no exclusivity. Your regulars stay your regulars, not a platform’s. Payout comes 48 hours after check-in.
-
For the guest
No service fee of ten to fifteen percent appearing on the last screen. Only the cost of the payment itself, 3.9 %, shown before paying. And on the other end a person who answers, knows the beach and says where to park the car.
-
For the island
What does not leave as commission stays in the region: with the roofer, with the shop in the village, with the family that keeps the vacation rental through the winter.

Sources, checked 17 September 2026: Airbnb Help Center, service fees. With the split fee, hosts pay 3 % and guests a service fee of 14.1–16.5 % (we calculate with 15 %), together ca. 18 % of the booking; with the host-only fee most hosts pay 15.5 %. Fees shown are VAT inclusive where applicable. Booking.com Partner Hub, understanding your commission. The rate depends on country, property type and agreement; we calculate with 15 %, the low end; with a different contract or programmes such as Preferred Partner or Visibility Booster it can be considerably more. BookNoFees: 0 % commission; the guest's final price is the host amount plus a 3.9 % cost contribution for Stripe payment fees and refunds, which BookNoFees does not earn. All three are compared at the same price for the guest. Airbnb and Booking.com are trademarks of their owners; this site is not affiliated with them.
