What changed recently

People looking for a property on the portal now find the filters gathered into clear groups: where it is, the style, the amenities and who it's suited for. Before, they were a single list, harder to scroll through. We've also added a new label, Stone house, which you can select if your property is one.

There's a section where you can send your authentic photos of the area where you live, the real ones, not postcard shots. The best ones end up in Italish's travel guides. It now works in rounds: every two weeks we propose a new theme, and at the end of each round we choose a winning photo.

The Base website plan is no longer paid. You activate it with one click from your account, with no credit card and no waiting for anyone to approve anything, and you immediately get an address of your own, something like yourname.stayitalish.com.

Here is what it does not do, so you do not find out later: it is a single page, it stays in Italian, it has no guest guide, it is not indexed by search engines, and the Italish signature stays in the footer.

The two plans with your own domain can now also be paid monthly. Sito completo 9,90€ a month or 99€ a year, Sito + Prenotazioni 19,90€ a month or 199€ a year. With monthly payment there is a 15€ activation fee, once only, covering the first year of the domain. Everything is on the plans page.

If you tried to save the link to your website or to your listings and found it gone, it was not your fault: some addresses were being dropped silently while you saved. Now they are accepted, and if something really is wrong we tell you instead of throwing it away.

The second one is about the map. The pin of your property sometimes ended up far from the real address and there was no way to correct it. Now you drag it where you want, and it stays there: we do not recalculate it any more.

In the dashboard there is a new section, Calendar, free for every property. You connect your Booking.com and Airbnb calendars: every 30 minutes we import the dates already taken, and you get a link to paste on the portals so they see yours too. One thing to know: the portals re-read our calendar on their own schedule, usually within a couple of hours.

In the website's statistics section we've added a new part, The numbers that matter, which shows the truly useful things in large type: how many people have visited you, how many have contacted you via WhatsApp, phone or email, and how many times guests have opened your guide with the QR code. All without cookies and without invasive tracking, respecting those who visit you.

Three new things related to the website. There's a free tool that analyses how fast your current site is, open to everyone. For those who buy a site with us, we automatically bring over the photos and texts from the old site, ready as a draft to adjust. And if you already own a web address, a guide walks you through using it, step by step.

The website for your property is no longer a single option. Now you can choose between three levels, Base, Sito and Pro, depending on what you need and how much you want to spend. You'll find the details of each one, prices included, on the dedicated page.

Before, you had to fill in one long form all at once. Now we guide you step by step, split into sections: the basic information, the features, the house rules, the contacts and the photos. A bar shows you how much is left to complete, so you can go at your own pace, one piece at a time.

When you enter your personal area, you immediately see an overview of your property, with a preview of how it appears to guests. Next to it there's a new tab, Complete your page, that lists what your profile is still missing: a photo, the description, a contact. This way you see at a glance what to fix, without having to look for it.
