Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
What I plan around in Florence: Pitti Uomo; Spring and autumn cultural tourism; Tuscan villa and wedding season; Chianti wine harvest. Guests I price for: North American and European couples on 3 to 5 night city stays, families and wedding groups on weekly villa stays. Where I start: City-centre pricing within Florence's new-registration limits, villa weekly pricing in Chianti and Val d'Orcia, and shoulder-season floors.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I load the Pitti fairs, Easter, San Giovanni, the Palio dates and the harvest, then set Saturday-to-Saturday weeks for villas and shorter stays for city flats. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo follow the same rules, so a villa week is never broken by a stray two-night booking.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Florence.
I review demand and pace and make two or three price changes a week where the market calls for them, inside the tool you already use.
On Plus I also optimize listings, plan promotions, track competitor rates per listing and manage Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together.
A monthly summary on every plan and a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, so you see what changed and why.
On Pro I forecast demand, keep a 12-month pricing calendar, meet you monthly and review quarterly, and I set launch prices for new listings.
“Florence and Tuscany are two strategies. In the historic centre, new short-term rentals are restricted, so existing registered flats are scarce and valuable. In Chianti and Val d'Orcia, villas sell weekly stays to families and wedding groups. Pitti Uomo adds January and June peaks in the city.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Pitti Uomo and Pitti Bimbo bring buyers and press to the city; I price those weeks at the top for central flats and keep villas closed or on long stays.
The city is quiet and villas rest, so I lower city floors for art lovers and students and target long stays rather than chasing short bookings.
Easter, spring art tourism, Pitti Uomo in June and the Calcio Storico on San Giovanni make this the city's best period; villas open for weddings.
City heat softens demand, while villas in Chianti and the Val d'Orcia run full weekly stays; I lower city rates and protect villa weeks.
The grape harvest, weddings and autumn art tourism keep both city and countryside strong; I price weekends firmly and keep villas on weekly stays.
Christmas markets and shopping trips bring visitors to the city, so I price December weekends firmly and keep November rates realistic.
Price Pitti Uomo weeks in January and June as premiums for city flats.
Price April to June and September to October as main seasons.
Run Tuscan villas on weekly stays with fixed changeover days.
Add wedding weekends and harvest weeks for villas.
Display the CIN code and follow local check-in rules.
One listing and no time
You want pricing handled properly without checking the calendar every day.
A growing portfolio
You manage several listings and need one consistent, scalable method.
A property manager
You want owner-ready reporting and revenue leadership without an in-house hire.
Smart Pricing is not enough
Airbnb's own tool optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, not your revenue across channels.
Send the listing links, your pricing tool and your goals. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your listing count.
I build the base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events and stay rules for your market before the first month starts.
I watch demand and pace and move prices and restrictions as the market does.
Step 4
You get the monthly report, and on Pro we meet, and I adjust the plan from the results.
Priced monthly by listing count on a graduated curve, so there are no tier cliffs. Plus adds 35 percent and Pro 75 percent to the Core price. Never a percentage of revenue.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $225/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus listing and channel optimization | Core +35% |
| Pro | Full revenue management with a monthly strategy call | Core +75% |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in Florence: April to June and September to October, with Easter and Pitti Uomo in January and June. January: Pitti Uomo and Pitti Bimbo bring buyers and press to the city; I price those weeks at the top for central flats and keep villas closed or on long stays. April to June: Easter, spring art tourism, Pitti Uomo in June and the Calcio Storico on San Giovanni make this the city's best period; villas open for weddings. For Airbnb revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether the property has a valid CIN and complies with Florence's limits on new short-term rentals in the historic centre, because I will not price a home that cannot legally operate.
Price Pitti Uomo weeks in January and June as premiums for city flats. Next: run Tuscan villas on weekly stays with fixed changeover days. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Florence property usually leaks the most.
For Airbnb revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Florence: November to February and August heat in the city. November to December: Christmas markets and shopping trips bring visitors to the city, so I price December weekends firmly and keep November rates realistic. February to March: The city is quiet and villas rest, so I lower city floors for art lovers and students and target long stays rather than chasing short bookings.
City flats and villas priced on one curve and august city heat not reflected in pricing. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Florence, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Florence, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Florence sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. April to June: Easter, spring art tourism, Pitti Uomo in June and the Calcio Storico on San Giovanni make this the city's best period; villas open for weddings.
Val d'Orcia: Pienza, Montalcino and classic Tuscan landscapes attract couples and photographers; I price for longer stays and harvest weeks. Oltrarno and Santo Spirito and Chianti get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Chianti wine harvest, Pitti Uomo and Spring and autumn cultural tourism are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Florence. November to December: Christmas markets and shopping trips bring visitors to the city, so I price December weekends firmly and keep November rates realistic.

Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue. The scope of Airbnb revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Florence I would start from July to August: City heat softens demand, while villas in Chianti and the Val d'Orcia run full weekly stays; I lower city rates and protect villa weeks.
