An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events, minimum stays, gap nights, last-minute pricing, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups. The tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool worth having. Smart Pricing is not a strategy, because it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate and knows nothing about your events or other channels.
What I plan around in Rome: Easter and papal events; Jubilee and Vatican pilgrimages; Summer inbound from the US; Autumn conference season. Guests I price for: International leisure travellers of 3 to 5 nights, concentrated in Centro Storico, Trastevere and Prati. Where I start: Easter and Holy Week premiums, high-season minimum stays, and August pricing that reflects the local exodus rather than assumed summer demand.
I set up your pricing on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo with Easter, papal and sporting dates loaded early, minimum stays that tighten in spring and loosen in August, and a weekday curve that suits conference visitors near La Nuvola and the centre.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Rome.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
“Rome looks like an all-year city, but its calendar is shaped by Easter, papal events and a mid-August exodus that surprises owners. Since 2025 every Italian rental also needs its national CIN code on listings, and identity checks for guests are taken seriously. I price Holy Week and spring firmly, and set August for international guests only.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Winter is quiet outside Six Nations rugby weekends at the Stadio Olimpico, so I price those Saturdays on their own and keep weekday floors gentle without slashing them.
The Rome Marathon, Easter, the birthday of Rome on 21 April and the Internazionali tennis in May stack up, so I load each event early and hold three-night minimums.
Summer brings long-haul visitors and the Saints Peter and Paul feast on 29 June, but heat slows short breaks, so I keep rates firm on weekends and loosen midweek stays.
Around Ferragosto many Romans leave and some restaurants close, so I price for international guests only and avoid long minimums that block late bookings.
Autumn conferences at La Nuvola and the Rome Film Fest keep demand firm, so I hold September and October, ease November, and price Christmas to Epiphany as its own band.
Price Holy Week and Easter as the top spring band with 3-night minimums.
Price April to June and September to October as main seasons.
Set mid-August pricing for international demand, not assumed peak summer.
Price Centro Storico, Trastevere and Prati on separate comps.
Display the CIN code and set a compliant guest check-in process.

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!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Rome. Display the CIN code and set a compliant guest check-in process. Next: price April to June and September to October as main seasons.
Busiest in Rome: April to June and September to October, Easter week, and Christmas through Epiphany. July to mid-August: Summer brings long-haul visitors and the Saints Peter and Paul feast on 29 June, but heat slows short breaks, so I keep rates firm on weekends and loosen midweek stays. September to December: Autumn conferences at La Nuvola and the Rome Film Fest keep demand firm, so I hold September and October, ease November, and price Christmas to Epiphany as its own band. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in Rome: January to February and mid-August. Mid-August: Around Ferragosto many Romans leave and some restaurants close, so I price for international guests only and avoid long minimums that block late bookings. January to February: Winter is quiet outside Six Nations rugby weekends at the Stadio Olimpico, so I price those Saturdays on their own and keep weekday floors gentle without slashing them.
August priced as peak when locals leave the city and listings without the national CIN code. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Rome, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of Rome behave differently. Prati and Borgo: The Vatican side with wide streets and quieter nights; I price it for families and pilgrims, with premiums around Easter and major papal events. Monti and Esquilino and Testaccio and Ostiense get their own treatment.
Summer inbound from the US, Autumn conference season and Easter and papal events are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Rome. March to June: The Rome Marathon, Easter, the birthday of Rome on 21 April and the Internazionali tennis in May stack up, so I load each event early and hold three-night minimums.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Rome, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Rome sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. March to June: The Rome Marathon, Easter, the birthday of Rome on 21 April and the Internazionali tennis in May stack up, so I load each event early and hold three-night minimums.
Whether the guest identification and Questura reporting process is set up properly before arrival, since Italy treats this seriously and a rushed check-in creates both legal and review problems. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.
PriceLabs and Wheelhouse strategy sessions are one-time and priced by listing count: $125 for up to 2 listings, $250 for 3 to 6, $370 for 7 to 10 and $480 for 11 to 15, with larger portfolios priced per listing. Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per listing per month. The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Rome I would start from March to June: The Rome Marathon, Easter, the birthday of Rome on 21 April and the Internazionali tennis in May stack up, so I load each event early and hold three-night minimums. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Rome.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Rome the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: display the CIN code and set a compliant guest check-in process. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
