Clickstay.com

Does anybody list with Clickstay.com (formerly VillaRenters), if so, do you get good enquiries / bookings from them?

I used to use Red top flycatchers. They do work very well. However a jar with holes in the lid, a little jam, honey mixed with a little water works equally as well. Costs very little and does not smell!

Must guests be registered with local police in Italy?

I have read elsewhere the requirement to register guests with local police or Caribinieri. Is this still a legal requirement? For all guests? Or only those from outside the EU? Reporting presence for short stays (<3 months) – Italy EU citizens and their family members do not need to report their pre...

I may follow your lead and recalculate rates on 1 GBP = 1 EUR. I'm nervous about increasing prices, don't want to kill off rentals. I have looked at other similar properties and they do seem to have higher prices than ours

Is there still a requirement to register guests, visitors, family and friends? Does it apply to self catering villa rentals?

Seems like we may have been missing something!

I did speak to HA directly. I called Yapstone and they linked HA into the call because they said I had to deactivate online payments and reapply and HA would go through that with me. During a long and annoying phone call they told me I would not be able to switch if I had any open bookings. They wer...

Seems they are not consistent with what they say .... First I was told that the payment provider was allocated by their computer system "randomly" (as if). Then I was told the provider was allocated based on the country of your bank.

I want to switch to advertising in EUR but the problem is switching currency if you are advertising with HomeAway and have online booking. They will only cancel your existing online payment account and make you apply for a new one. And during the process you will lose instant payment on online booki...
