I have been lucky enough to travel the world for work and for pleasure for over 20 years and I’ve always been looking for the perfect place to call “home”. After visiting 5 continents and more than 50 countries, I found the perfect place to begin this adventure in Italy, my own country and precisely on one of the most spectacular islands of the entire Mediterranean, Sardinia.
I have been a regular visitor of this beautiful island for years, but it was not until 2007 that I was struck by lightning when together with my wife we saw the ruins of an old typical country house in a small Sardinian town not far from the sea and began thinking about owning our first home. It was love at first sight!
Where others saw craziness, we saw an incredible opportunity!
We believed what was officially going to become our first real home to be in reality our first holiday home!
I told my wife that if we could pay for 70% of the yearly mortgage fee with the revenue we generated from letting it as a holiday rental I would be happy, and we would have made a great investment.
We made 20% net profits on year 1 instead! That means we made 120% of our yearly mortgage fee and we’ve been growing ever since!
So much so that in year two we purchased our second unit, repeated the same success that allowed us to buy the third apartment on year three and own the entire property.
Sometimes people ask me: “How did you get started?” and look at me as some kind of alien…
We started with very little money, if no money at all, virtually no knowledge of renovation works, no experience in buying and restoring homes before but we had a great passion for interior design, a love for beautiful yet easy to do and functional things and a strong determination to succeed together with a very clear vision of where we wanted to be ten years from then.
Today we run a six figure business that brings in enough money to allow us to live the life we always wanted. I quit my former job at Alitalia to focus on the things I do best: managing our own holiday homes and a handful of other friends’ properties, while consulting other likeminded entrepreneurial spirits on how to achieve the same outstanding results we have with our own homes.
The experience gained in all these years of travels and in business, the knowledge acquired through ongoing study of market trends in the travel and vacation rental industry, together with the steady implementation of unique marketing strategies, successful secret tactics and simple yet powerful ideas led to the creation of the “Fully Booked Formula” training program. An online video course aimed to allow other likeminded owners to give their properties the chance to stand out from the crowd, attract an ever increasing flow of guests and therefore turn their home into a money making machine.
