Xenia Sicily Villas is more than a tourist services agency, and more than an estate agency.
We offer an innovative online management service that not only guarantees tourists an excellent price for their accommodation, but also offers those who work with us an increase in bookings and constant earning opportunities.
Our sales channels (totalling over 150, including portals, OTAs and meta search engines) are based on a close-knit network of partnerships with tour operators and agencies in the sector.
Thanks to our numerous online marketing campaigns, we are able to guarantee our partners increased visibility and relieve them of all their calendar management concerns.
In addition, our Booking Engine system (via the platform www.xeniaexperience.com) offers the opportunity to receive a growing number of direct bookings, thus avoiding the normal commission fees charged by OTAs.
Unlike the larger portals, we always maintain a direct contact with the owners of the accommodation, guaranteeing maximum assistance and consulting in terms of management, hospitality and tax matters.

How to Collaborate
Once owners have informed us of prices, booking regulations and availability, all they have to do is get their accommodation ready to welcome guests. We’ll take care of the rest. Owners will receive direct notification of bookings, and will be assisted throughout the letting process, from reception of the deposit through to check-in. We will also examine the photographic material available, and, if necessary, will arrange a specific photo shoot to ensure the property is promoted effectively.
So that an initial assessment of your property can be carried out, we must receive:
The address of the holiday accommodation (street name and number and postcode);
Type of property, with a brief description (villa, house, apartment, distance from the sea, whether there is a swimming pool, air conditioning, etc.);
Number and type of beds (size of interiors and total size in square metres)
Attractive photos that illustrate the property effectively (even horizontal cellphone photos).
*Alternatively, a link if the accommodation is already present on internet
Below is the information required to draw up the collaboration agreement:
Description of the property (divided into rooms);
Layout (number of rooms per floor);
Full residence address;
IBAN details;
VAT no. if available;
Tax ID no.;
Place and date of birth of owner.
