Temporary leases, 1 to 18 months
5% + VAT of the rent for the whole lease, no minimum. A 6-month lease at €1,000 a month: €300 + VAT, once.

November 2025October 2026
Each dot is one of these people, counted once: from November 2025 to October 2026, from portals, websites, email and phone. The count updates itself every month.
Why let us handle the letting
Three promises, and how we keep them.
We bring you the right tenant.
We read every application, ask only for the documents that matter and check that the rent is sustainable over time, not just for the first month. Often the lease is signed by a company. We introduce the right people with their papers in order; the final word is yours.
How we choose the tenantWe show the home as it is.
Quality photos and, where there is one, a 3D tour; defects are shown as they are. Whoever books a viewing already knows what they will find: fewer wasted viewings, fewer surprises after signing.
You don’t chase the enquiries.
Our listings answer questions on their own, at any hour: move-in costs, buses, map, an AI assistant in four languages. We bring you only the serious applications. We handle the lease and the registration, and a month before it ends our system writes to you and to the tenant.
The six steps, to the end of the lease
01 · Companies and staff housing
When a shipyard needs homes, it calls us.
Several companies in the Fincantieri ecosystem come to us to house their staff when a ship is being delivered or a yacht refitted: dozens of leases, in the company’s name. Film productions and sports clubs do the same.
For you it means a tenant who is in Trieste to work, and a company that signs the lease.

From the first call to the end of the lease
Six steps. Where you see the green dot, the system works on its own, even at night.
You tell us about the home
Six questions on this page, then we come and see it: we tell you which lease makes sense: most often a temporary lease of 1 to 18 months or company housing, sometimes a 3+2 or a 4+4.
We present it well
Careful, labelled photos, a 3D tour where possible, texts in four languages, on the portals and on our own sites. Buses, map and move-in costs are worked out automatically, home by home.
We filter the requests
The listing answers at any hour, and people on our waiting list are alerted as soon as your home is online. We read the applications ourselves.
Automatic
You sign with the right person
Lease, registration, deposit, certificate: we handle the paperwork.
We hand over the home
With photos of how it was. Then we give you the tenant’s contact details, and from then on you talk directly.
We write before the lease ends
A month before, to you and to the tenant: an extension, or the next tenant, found before the home sits empty.
Automatic
We are opening TriesteVillas’ Owners’ Area to rental owners too: it shows everything we do for your home.
2013
TriesteAffitti
Since 2013
TriesteVillas’ name and method, put to work for letting.
We started in 2013 with holiday lets, up to 130 homes at the same time; since then we have let or managed more than 300. That is where we learned what wears a home down, and what wears its owner down.
With TriesteVillas we sell fine homes, and that is where the honest photos, the documents in order and the quick answers come from. Today we bring the same method to every rental: the penthouse on the sea and the one-bedroom in the centre.
We are a letting agency, not a property manager: we do one thing, the letting, and we do it from start to finish.
What it costs
On a temporary lease we charge you 5%.
5% + VAT of the rent for the whole lease, no minimum, and only if the lease is signed. We say this after more than ten years: we started in 2013 with holiday lets, and we learned that it takes far less for everyone to be better off.
3+2 and 4+4
1 month's rent + VAT, once, at signing. Nothing more for the years of the lease.
Third-party costs, outside our fee
The online registration (about €15) and, for temporary and 3+2 leases, the certificate from a landlords' or tenants' association (about €40 to €85) you pay directly: we give you the details and handle the paperwork. Registration tax and stamp duty are split with the tenant; under the flat-rate regime (cedolare secca) there are none.
Why so little
Short-let property managers usually charge between 20 and 30% of takings, plus VAT, plus the platform's commission. We are an agency, not a property manager: we find the tenant, handle the lease and the paperwork, give you their contact details and get back in touch before the lease ends, so the home doesn't sit empty.
With a temporary lease the home works with less conflict, less wear and fewer costs, and with the 10% flat-rate tax (cedolare secca) your taxes stay low. Less hassle for you, and a fee that doesn't eat into your income.
They handled the unexpected very seriously, resolving the situation quickly and finding a new tenant who was well referenced and reliable. I really appreciate their problem-solving and the attention they pay to the quality of the profiles they select.
Quick and professional. Giada was precise and attentive, taking care to find the best and most satisfactory solution for us.
I contacted this agency for information about letting a small property in Trieste, and found real expertise, helpfulness and detailed solutions for getting a return from the home. I was also pleasantly surprised by how quickly they replied.

The path
Six questions, and we know which formula we are talking about
There is no best formula in absolute terms. There is the right one for that home, in that area, with those tenants and with your goals.
Answer the questions: at the end we tell you which of the three makes most sense in your case, why, and when we would change our mind.

Verified Tenant System
Serious selection, proper matching, reduced risk.
The protocol we use to read, filter and assess applications: documents, affordability of the rent, fit with the lease type and real compatibility with the individual property. It doesn’t mean promising the perfect tenant: it means avoiding choices that are superficial, hasty or based only on a first impression.
Initial screening of the enquiry
Who is looking, for how long, how urgently and why.
Lease type / person fit
A temporary lease is not a 4+4, and a 4+4 is not a temporary lease.
Document check
Only the documents genuinely needed for identity, stability and affordability.
Affordability
It’s not just about income: what counts is whether the rent is sustainable over time.
Matching with the property
Some properties call for a certain profile, a certain length of stay, a certain degree of care.
Documented decision
Consistent criteria, not personal liking, haste or the pressure of the moment.
What it is
- +a selection method and a documented process
- +a matching system between property, lease type and applicant
- +a filter that cuts noise, wasted time and inconsistencies
What it isn’t
- −an absolute guarantee against arrears or future problems
- −a selection based on arbitrary or discriminatory criteria
- −an indiscriminate collection of documents
Ready-to-Rent Setup
Before the contract comes the home.
Many properties sit empty because they lack that small initial push that makes them truly ready. For selected properties we can advance up to €2,000 of set-up costs and recover them from the first rent payments, on terms agreed in advance.
The idea is not to ‘renovate’ a property: it is to make it properly lettable, in a sensible time. Complete bathrooms and kitchens, building systems, structural work and major furniture are not included.
- light repainting or essential touch-ups
- thorough initial cleaning
- minor repairs, locks, small fittings
- basic lighting and simple improvements
- missing items to make the property ready
Several properties
When there is more than one property, the challenge is steering the portfolio as a whole.
We analyse the portfolio, segment each unit and build a consistent strategy across letting, repositioning and sale. We don’t promise that every property should be let: we promise analysis, segmentation and more rational management.
- Owners of several flats
- Families with property spread across different places
- Heirs with properties to rationalise
- Owners living outside Trieste or abroad
- Investors who want to simplify
Mapping
Properties, documents, tenancy status, current rents, costs, issues, potential.
Segmentation
For each unit: keep it let, change the lease type, reposition, add value, sell or postpone.
Hands-on coordination
Letting, marketing preparation, documents, screening of demand.
Selective disposal
When a property is worth more sold: TriesteVillas for the premium segment, TriesteImmobiliare for the rest.
Case 1A family with 7 flats in Trieste: 2 to keep on stable leases, 3 to reposition as temporary lets, 1 to vacate and sell, 1 to renovate before deciding.
Case 2An owner living abroad with 4 inherited properties: documents brought together in one place, review of the lease types, choice of what to keep and what to sell.
Working together with TriesteVillas, TriesteImmobiliare and FriuliVillas.
Owners’ frequently asked questions
Do you only do temporary leases?
No, but it is our trade: almost all the homes on our site are let on a temporary lease of 1 to 18 months or as company housing. We do 3+2 and 4+4 when the home and your plans call for years: we tell you after seeing it, without pushing a lease that does not suit it.
How do you work out which lease type is right for my property?
We assess location, layout, furnishings, potential tenants, the condition of the property, the owner’s goals and how much time you want to put in. The questions on this page give a first reading.
Is a temporary lease always better than holiday letting?
Not always, and not for every property. But for many city properties let with method a temporary lease can offer a much healthier balance between return, operational order and peace of mind.
Do you only find the tenant, or do you also manage the property?
We handle the tenancy, not the home. We find the tenant, do the contract and the paperwork (registration, deposit, certificates), hand over the home with photos of how it was and give you the tenant’s contact details. What happens in the home during and at the end of the tenancy – check-in and check-out, cleaning, linen, damage – is between you and the tenant: we are not a property manager. We get back in touch before the lease ends, for an extension or to find the next tenant in good time.
How much do you charge the owner?
On a temporary lease (1 to 18 months), 5% + VAT of the rent for the whole lease, with no minimum; on a 3+2 or 4+4, 1 month's rent + VAT. It is paid once, and only if the lease is signed. Third-party costs stay outside: the online registration (about €15) and the certificate (about €40 to €85), which you pay directly, and your half of registration tax and stamp duty, which under the flat-rate regime (cedolare secca) you don't pay at all.
How do you select tenants?
With the Verified Tenant System: a screening process focused on consistency, reliability and the quality of the application. The aim is not to fill the property quickly, but to set up a tenancy that starts well.
Does the property have to be ready already?
Not necessarily. If needed, we show you how to make it better suited to the chosen lease type — and for selected properties there is the Ready-to-Rent Setup.
Do you also work with owners who live outside Trieste?
Yes. For many owners living elsewhere, having a reliable contact in Trieste for the letting is one of the main reasons they choose us.
Do you let furnished properties to professionals and researchers?
Yes. It is one of the segments where our position is strongest, especially for properties that are well set up and ready.
Can I use the property myself at certain times of the year?
It has to be assessed case by case. We want to understand your real goal and build the lease that best fits the flexibility you need.
How does the first contact work?
We start with a look at the property and your goals. From there we can arrange a Strategy Session or a site visit.
How much does the presentation of the property matter?
A great deal. A good tenancy starts with a clear product: accurate photos, furnishings that read well, an inventory, consistent positioning and the right expectations.
Do you also handle the paperwork?
Yes. Documents and contracts are one of the areas where our method really makes a difference.
I’ve let before, but it didn’t go well. Can I start again with you?
Yes. In fact, our best work often comes precisely when there is a disorderly experience to put right.
