Owner-operated since 2021 · Olbia, Sardinia
One of the few fully owner-operated boutique hosts in Sardinia. 37 owned & operated properties across Olbia, Pittulongu, Golfo Aranci and the Costa Smeralda. No mortgages. No sub-letting. Every booking handled in-house by the team in Olbia.
We believe true luxury begins with integrity. Every home we design in Sardinia is created with respect — for our guests, our island, and our people. We own every property, maintain every detail, and price every stay fairly from the start. Our mission is simple: to host consciously.
Three things every agency, marketplace and standard Airbnb host lacks. See the Trust Hub for verification documents.
Every apartment, house and villa in the portfolio is fully owned — no mortgages, no leverage, no third-party debt. Your booking is protected by a financially stable owner-operator.
Not a marketplace. We own 100% of the properties we list. Every home is hand-selected, custom-designed, and maintained to the standard we'd expect for ourselves — CREO kitchens, designer lighting, secure Vikey smart access.
Our teams live and work within minutes of every property. Typical issue response time: under 30 minutes. This reliability is a key reason behind 1,550+ five-star reviews across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google.
Documented 11-section verification on every turnover, signed off in Breezeway by Maintenance Lead Alejandro and the in-house team. Owner-audited twice a year by Floriana & Kristina.
The founders
Floriana Panvini Rosati
& Kristina
Floriana Panvini Rosati (CEO) and Kristina (COO) co-founded RENTAL12 in March 2021. Dutch precision meets Italian hospitality. Every guest decision still crosses their desk. They personally inspect every property twice a year, on top of the per-turnover 70-point check.
Nine people in Olbia plus Flo, our AI guest assistant. Every role legally and operationally responsible for your Sardinia stay.
"We started this in 2021 with one rule — host the way we would want to be hosted. Everything else flows from that."
"We tell stories that respect both the island and the people who actually live here. No tourist clichés."
"Dutch precision, Italian warmth. Every guest decision still crosses my desk."
Four brands, one parent. All operated by Lion Development S.r.l. (Milan/Olbia), founded 2021.
The operating brand — 37 short-term and holiday rentals in Olbia, Pittulongu, Golfo Aranci and Costa Smeralda.

Our cleaning team reads every one. A line about your apartment, the welcome kit, or the bed being well made goes back to the people who actually did the 70-point check. It is the most direct thank-you the team gets.

"Vikey locks, fiber Wi-Fi, the Welcomescreen TV. These aren't extras — they're how a small team feels like a 24/7 front desk."
"Every cleaning is a fresh start. The 70-point check is how I make sure the apartment is ready for someone's holiday — not just technically clean."
"Fresh linen on every bed. Towels folded the same way every time. The little things people remember."
Everything we publish starts with a person. Our team researches, checks and writes the first draft — for our website, our guides and our news articles alike. We then use AI tools for the parts of the work that are craft rather than knowledge: tightening structure and language, catching inconsistencies, and translating between the languages we publish in. Every piece is then reviewed and edited by a person before it goes live.
AI does not make decisions here. It does not decide who gets a booking or on what terms, it is not used in any decision about a member of our team, and it does not set a price without a person approving it. Where our systems are connected to each other automatically, those connections move information and produce reports — people make the calls.
Our photographs are real. We do not generate images of our apartments, our buildings or the places around them. Where a photograph has been edited, the editing is limited to brightness, colour and cropping, and never adds anything to a scene or removes anything from it.
Prices, dates, opening hours, distances, safety information and anything we state about law or regulation are verified by a person against a real source before we publish them. When an automated assistant answers you on our site, it says so at the start, and a person from our team is always reachable.
Responsibility for everything we publish rests with Lion Development S.r.l., registered in Milan, Italy, operating from Olbia and Golfo Aranci in Sardinia. If you think we have published something inaccurate, tell us and a person will read it.
