Three journeys, start to full house

From a first uncertain listing to full occupancy — here is how three real Mondosol families did it.

Ruggero Vasari at Agriturismo Vasari, Sicily
★★★★★

Ruggero Vasari

Farm hotel owner · Santa Lucia del Mela, Sicily · 2014

Full occupancy within three years

Ruggero, a former ambassador, runs Agriturismo Vasari in Santa Lucia del Mela with his nephew Michele — one of Italy’s top 30 wine producers. When they opened rooms for guests, they didn’t know how to set rates or attract bookings. Learning with Mondosol from 2014, they mastered pricing, listings and direct bookings — and reached full occupancy within three years.

Lucia Bianchini

Vacation rental host · Santa Cruz de Tenerife · 2021

Fully booked in under three years

After opening a B&B with her friend Enrica, Lucia started renting her apartment near Tenerife North Airport — worried about rates, guests and taxes. Step by step with Mondosol she learned to run it like a pro, filled every available date in less than three years, and now applies the same skills to her family B&B in Tuscany.

Ettore Galasso

Family business, Residence Bussola · Lignano Sabbiadoro · 2018

About +15% bookings in one year

Ettore and his mother Angelina went from running a petrol station to buying Residence Bussola in Lignano Sabbiadoro, near Venice — with minimal knowledge of the industry. With Mondosol they learned rates, advertising and guest care, growing bookings by about 15% in under a year. Ettore left a 5-star Google review that still stands today.
