Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Sardinia. Sardinia has one of the shortest and most intense seasons in the Mediterranean. Italian, German and French families book villas by the week, and Ferragosto in mid-August is the absolute peak, when Italy itself goes on holiday. Outside June to September the island is quiet. The season has to carry the year, so I price August firmly and protect the shoulders from collapsing.
For a Sardinian owner I plan the whole year around ferries, flights and Ferragosto. I separate villa coast, town flats and countryside homes, decide when to open and close, and make sure the short season carries the year without discounting the shoulders into nothing.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Sardinia.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

The coast is shut, so I close seasonal villas and keep only Cagliari and Alghero flats open, priced for weekend visitors and the Sartiglia carnival in Oristano.
Easter, the Sant'Efisio procession in Cagliari on 1 May and walking holidays on the Gulf of Orosei bring early guests, so I open with short stays and modest rates.
Warm sea and cheaper flights bring northern Europeans, so I introduce weekly stays on villas and price them a step below August without heavy discounts.
Italian families arrive by ferry with cars, so I align changeovers with the Olbia and Golfo Aranci ferry timetables and price every week around Ferragosto at the top.
Sailing events at Porto Cervo and calm September seas keep the north busy, so I hold early September close to July and shorten stays as October approaches.
Price the weeks around Ferragosto as the top band with weekly stays.
Run villas on fixed changeover days from late June to early September.
Price Costa Smeralda homes against luxury comps, not island averages.
Use length-of-stay discounts in June and September rather than deep nightly cuts.

Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

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!

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 hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How far the home is from the nearest beach by car and whether parking is available there, since many Sardinian beaches limit access in summer and guests compare drive times carefully.
Busiest in Sardinia: June to September, with August (Ferragosto) the highest. June to mid-July: Warm sea and cheaper flights bring northern Europeans, so I introduce weekly stays on villas and price them a step below August without heavy discounts. Late July to August: Italian families arrive by ferry with cars, so I align changeovers with the Olbia and Golfo Aranci ferry timetables and price every week around Ferragosto at the top. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Weekly villa pricing with an August premium, and a short-season strategy with firm shoulders. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Sardinia calendar before I make it. Late July to August: Italian families arrive by ferry with cars, so I align changeovers with the Olbia and Golfo Aranci ferry timetables and price every week around Ferragosto at the top.
Sardinia has one of the shortest and most intense seasons in the Mediterranean. Italian, German and French families book villas by the week, and Ferragosto in mid-August is the absolute peak, when Italy itself goes on holiday. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Sardinia.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Sardinia the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: run villas on fixed changeover days from late June to early September. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Sardinia sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. June to mid-July: Warm sea and cheaper flights bring northern Europeans, so I introduce weekly stays on villas and price them a step below August without heavy discounts. For hotel revenue management consulting in Sardinia, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Sardinia, not the city. Price Costa Smeralda homes against luxury comps, not island averages. Next: display the CIN code on every listing.
Villasimius and Chia: White beaches south of Cagliari favoured by families; I price weekly in summer and keep June and September open to shorter stays from European flights. Costa Smeralda and San Pantaleo and Alghero get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Sardinia, not the market average.
