Who we serve
Quick answer: Eight partner personas, each with its own commercial model. We do not run a single rate card — we build a bespoke package per partner type, then per partner. Below are the eight standing personas; if you are not on this list, we still want to hear from you.
Travel Agencies & DMCs
Commissionable model 10–15%. NET-30 or NET-60 payment after guest departure. Italian fattura elettronica on every booking. IATA-friendly. Ad-hoc bookings welcome, volume tiers available.
Corporate Housing Intermediaries
We meet SilverDoor’s stated supplier minimums — 24/7 in-house support, 75-field health and safety checks, ISO-equivalent vetting through FIMAA Nord Sardegna and AIGAB Italia, EU regulatory compliance, full fiscal invoicing.
Yacht Crews & Yacht Agencies
Olbia is the Mediterranean superyacht hub; the Molo Brin 150m berth expansion lands in 2026. Our apartments are 8–10 minutes from the quay. AZULIS Tigellio and AZULIS Delleterme are positioned for rotating crew — short-notice, multi-apartment blocks, late check-in.
International Schools & Faculty
We are the current accommodation partner of Sardinia International School (SIS) — the bilingual private day school at the Geovillage campus, Olbia. We host prospective families touring the campus and provide medium-term housing for relocating international staff.
Wedding & Event Planners
Costa Smeralda is a high-volume destination-wedding circuit. We block 2–12 apartments per event with a single contract and a dedicated account contact. AZULIS Villas Dumas (Golfo Aranci) combine to sleep 16 across one wedding party.

Considering us for SilverDoor Sardinia coverage?

We meet SilverDoor’s stated supplier minimums on ISO-equivalent vetting (via FIMAA & AIGAB), 24/7 in-house support, EU regulatory compliance and Italian fiscal invoicing.

“In 22 years of hospitality in Olbia I learned one thing: corporate partners don’t want a ‘rental’. They want a counterparty that turns up on time, invoices correctly, and is still on the phone at 23:00 when a yacht crew lands a day early. That’s what RENTAL12 is built for.” — Floriana Panvini Rosati, CEO & Co-Founder of RENTAL12 (Lion Development SRL), Olbia resident since 2003
“Quality is non-negotiable. Every one of our 37 apartments runs the same 70-point cleaning check and the same 24/7 maintenance SLA. When a corporate housing partner gets a guest complaint, our COO answers — not a call centre.” — Kristina, COO of RENTAL12, Strategy & Quality lead
“Italian fiscal compliance is where 80% of cross-border B2B contracts get stuck. We close that gap: fattura elettronica via SDI, VAT-segregated invoicing, NET-30/60 payment terms accepted, multi-currency on request. Lion Development SRL is debt-free and signs every invoice in-house.” — Simon Darmanin, Head Accountant (CFO) of RENTAL12

Honest gaps — what we don’t have
Quick answer: Three gaps we openly disclose. No IATA membership (we contract direct net rates with IATA-ticketed agencies instead). No ISO 27001/9001 attestation (FIMAA + AIGAB + Keurmerk cover the same quality ground; ISO roadmap is H2 2026). No dedicated B2B booking platform (concierge model only — email plus private Lodgify offer links). We frame the platform choice as a feature, not a bug.
No IATA membership
We do not hold an IATA accreditation number. For IATA-ticketed agencies we contract direct net rates and pay via standard agency settlement — same outcome, simpler paper trail.
No ISO 27001 / 9001 attestation
Genuine competitive gap vs SilverDoor-tier aggregators. We use FIMAA + AIGAB + Webshop Keurmerk as equivalent quality vetting. ISO roadmap is H2 2026.
No dedicated B2B booking platform
Concierge model only — email and Lodgify private-link offers. Premium positioning by choice: every account talks to a named human, not a self-service portal.

Frequently asked questions
What types of B2B partnerships does RENTAL12 offer?
What types of B2B partnerships and commercial models does RENTAL12 offer to travel agencies, DMCs, corporate housing intermediaries and other B2B partners?
RENTAL12 offers three commercial models: commissionable contracts for travel agencies and DMCs (10–15% with NET-30/60 terms), negotiated net rates for corporate housing intermediaries and schools, and fully bespoke account-specific terms for yacht crews, productions, weddings and government.
The three models cover every standing partner type. Commissionable is the default for travel agencies and DMCs and runs at 10–15% with NET-30 or NET-60 post-departure settlement on Italian fattura elettronica. Net rate applies to corporate housing intermediaries, international schools and government on stays of 30–90+ days with monthly invoicing. Bespoke covers anything multi-apartment or with non-standard terms — yacht crews, productions, weddings, government, sports teams, family offices. Email [email protected] or use the contact form with your company name and partnership type.
How does Italian fiscal invoicing work for cross-border companies?
How does Italian fiscal invoicing (fattura elettronica) work for cross-border B2B partners using RENTAL12 accommodation?
All B2B invoices are issued by Lion Development SRL as Italian fattura elettronica via the SDI system, with separate VAT lines and acceptance of NET-30/60 terms. Multi-currency settlement is available on request and our in-house Head Accountant Simon Darmanin signs off every invoice.
Italian B2B accommodation invoicing runs through the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI) electronic clearing house. Every Lion Development SRL invoice carries our VAT number, separate VAT lines per service, NET payment terms accepted on contract, and a structured XML payload that EU accounting systems can import directly. Simon Darmanin, our in-house Head Accountant, signs off every invoice — not outsourced. See FAQ NR12 for the wider corporate-structure questions.
What commission and rate structures are available?
What commission, net rate and bespoke pricing structures are available to RENTAL12 B2B partners?
Travel agencies and DMCs work on a 10–15% commission tier with NET-30 or NET-60 settlement after guest departure; corporate housing intermediaries and schools use negotiated net rates for stays of 30–90+ days; yacht crews, productions, weddings and government use bespoke multi-apartment terms.
The headline numbers above are the starting point, not the ceiling. Commissionable partners with proven volume (typically 50+ room-nights per year) move to the upper end of the band. Net-rate partners with multi-year commitments unlock blocked-room contracts and dedicated allocation. Bespoke contracts are priced per project. Request the full 2026 rate card via the contact form.
Can you guarantee availability and blocked-room contracts (yacht crews, productions)?
Can RENTAL12 guarantee availability and offer blocked-room contracts for yacht crews, film productions and wedding parties?
Yes. Because all 37 apartments are owner-operated by Lion Development SRL with no sub-letting, we can ringfence multi-apartment blocks for yacht crews, production teams and wedding parties under a single contract with a dedicated account contact.
Blocked-room contracts work because we own and operate the entire portfolio — no sub-letting, no head-lease intermediaries, no aggregator double-booking risk. Yacht crews get short-notice multi-apartment allocation near the Molo Brin quay. Productions get monthly net invoicing across shoot dates. Wedding parties get a single contract for 2–12 apartments. Start with our crew stays collection.
What credentials and compliance standards does RENTAL12 hold?
What regulatory, industry and consumer-trust credentials does RENTAL12 hold for B2B due diligence?
RENTAL12 carries IUN F1530, national CIN IT090047B4000F1530, Webshop Keurmerk #18530, FIMAA Nord Sardegna membership, AIGAB Italia membership, plus 4.9 from 1,550+ 5 star reviews, Booking.com Guest Experience Award, Airbnb Superhost, Plum Guide selection and Shortyz 2026 finalist.
Four families: Italian regulatory (IUN + CIN), Dutch consumer trust (Webshop Keurmerk #18530), Italian industry bodies (FIMAA Nord Sardegna + AIGAB Italia), and performance proof (awards + reviews). Full evidence on the Trust hub and Awards page.
How do you compare to corporate housing aggregators like SilverDoor or Blueground?
How does RENTAL12 compare to global corporate housing aggregators such as SilverDoor or Blueground for Sardinia accommodation?
RENTAL12 meets SilverDoor's stated minimum supplier standards — 24/7 in-house support, EU regulatory compliance, FIMAA/AIGAB vetting and Italian fiscal invoicing — and fills the Northeast Sardinia gap that aggregators currently don't cover from their Cagliari-only or remote inventory.
Three differences. (1) We are owner-operated — aggregators rely on third-party suppliers. (2) Our inventory is Northeast Sardinia exclusive (Olbia, Golfo Aranci, Costa Smeralda corridor) where aggregator coverage is thin. (3) Our concierge model means every B2B account talks to a named human at Lion Development SRL, not a regional helpdesk. Trade-off: no ISO 27001/9001 yet (roadmap H2 2026) and no self-service B2B portal. See Why RENTAL12.
How can a travel agency or corporate housing partner request your 2026 rate card?
