“Sicily has become much more international since The White Lotus, especially around Taormina. The island has two strategies: coastal homes that sell 5 to 10-night stays, and Palermo and Catania city flats that sell food, culture and Etna day trips. Easter processions and summer are the peaks.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Sicily books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price Taormina and coastal homes on weekly summer stays.
Build Palermo and Catania city pricing around weekends and events.
Add Easter processions as a spring premium.
Price Aeolian Islands homes around ferry schedules.
Display the CIN code on all listings.

I price Catania flats for the Sant'Agata festival in early February and keep Palermo at steady city-break floors, while coastal homes stay closed or at low weekly rates.
Easter processions in Trapani and across the island, plus the classical drama season at the Greek theatre in Syracuse, lift spring, so I open these weeks early.
I hold weekly pricing on coastal homes, price the Santa Rosalia Festino in Palermo in mid-July as a city premium, and protect Ferragosto at the top.
Warm seas, harvest on Etna and lower crowds make this one of the best months, so I keep rates close to July and only ease weekdays later in October.
The coast goes quiet, so I keep city flats open for food and culture travellers and price the Christmas and New Year period in Palermo and Catania separately.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Sicily needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For a Sicilian owner I first decide which of the island's many markets your home belongs to: the Ionian coast, a baroque town in the Val di Noto or a Palermo city flat. Then I build its own event calendar and season, with honest winter floors.
I set up your pricing on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo with Sant'Agata, Easter, Santa Rosalia and Ferragosto loaded ahead, weekly stays on the coast in summer, short city stays in Palermo and Catania, and the CIN displayed everywhere, so the coast and the cities never share one calendar.
Sicilian boutique hotels mix international couples, weddings and touring groups. With my five-star hotel background I work on room-type pricing for sea-view and terrace rooms, wedding and group contracts, and how to extend the season into spring and autumn, when Sicily is often at its most pleasant for touring guests.

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!
Airbnb host
Demand has grown, especially from international visitors. Alaa prices Taormina against current comparable homes.
More than the coast. Alaa builds a separate city strategy.
Yes. The feast of Saint Agatha in early February is one of the largest religious festivals in Italy and fills the centre of Catania for several days. It is the main winter premium in eastern Sicily. I price the nights around it well above the winter floor and set short minimums so the whole festival week can be booked.
It can be. Noto, Modica and Ragusa Ibla are baroque UNESCO towns that attract couples and food travellers, often staying several nights while touring the south-east. I price them on character and location, separately from Taormina or Palermo, and use spring and autumn as strong seasons rather than relying only on August.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Sicily, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Central European Time (UTC+1).
