Short-term rentals in Sardinia are already looking ahead to 2027: Holidu Meet Up in Cagliari on November 14th to meet local hosts.

Maurizio Battelli, an expert in the short-term rental sector in Cagliari, will share his perspective on the dynamics of the local market. This contribution will align with the broader industry perspective, focusing on local opportunities.

At 12:30, the meeting will continue with brunch and a networking opportunity, designed to provide space for the professionals in attendance to get to know each other and share experiences.

Holidu, the platform for vacation rentals in Europe

Founded in 2014 by brothers Johannes and Michael Siebers, Holidu is a European platform that guides hosts and guests through the various stages of the vacation rental experience, from property management to booking.

With vacation rental property management software and a network of local expert teams, the company supports over 30,000 hosts and property managers in seven markets, helping them get more bookings with less work.

On the guest front, the group's booking platforms, including Holidu, Gites.fr, and Ferienwohnungen.de, help over 100 million users find the perfect vacation home each year. These activities are complemented by Holidu Smart Destination, the destination management software with which the company supports over 500 tourism boards in marketing and selling their tourism products.

With over 700 employees and 29 local offices in Europe's most attractive travel destinations, Holidu is headquartered in Munich, Germany.

An international presence with local roots

The choice of Cagliari is no coincidence, as Holidu has an office in the city—one of seven in Italy, along with those in Milan, Bolzano, Florence, Catania, Bari, and Verona. This presence allows the company to closely monitor the dynamics of the short-term rental market in Sardinia, maintaining direct connections with hosts and property managers .

The balance between international reach and local knowledge is essential to the initiative. As the company emphasizes, the Meet Up represents a time to take stock, but above all, an opportunity to begin developing strategies for next season.

" This meetup represents the culmination of our 2026 season, an opportunity to reconnect with local hosts and take stock of a year of collaboration. It's also a time when we're already looking ahead, seeking new collaborations for the 2027 season: we're planning ahead and developing long-term strategies, because we believe growth is achieved through early planning. Holidu's true strength lies precisely in this balance: we're a European-based company, yet with a local presence made up of people and experts who truly know the region they operate in. It's this combination of international scale and local roots, combined with a long-term vision, that makes the difference for our hosts, " says Simona Stara, Account Manager for Holidu's Southern Sardinia Area .

Holidu Meet Ups were created with this very purpose: to bring the platform closer to local professionals, share expertise on pricing, regulations, and growth opportunities, and create a space for direct discussion. This opportunity is much more than a refresher course: it's an opportunity to share experiences and tools in a sector that requires renewed planning.
