Philosophy and Approach
|
2 words: selection and reliability
|
|
|
|
| Selection:
|
|
Since year 2000 Italia Lodging has been selecting only small family managed accommodation. We decided not to list everything. We have decided to look for the properties where we would have liked to stay. We have decided to have an approach which is different from the most famous sites.
So we have decided to list only properties which were respecting a few simple (and common sense) criteria:
|
|
Only Small Properties: |
|
Only properties where each specific need can be satisfied by the hotel manager directly and where guest can have a direct contact with the hotels owners. That’s why we list mainly bed and breakfast, guest houses, farm guest houses and family managed hotels with a few rooms.
|
|
Direct link with the context |
|
We have decided to list only properties managed by local people. That’s why you won’t find in our website hotel chains.
|
|
Attention to details |
|
We have decided to list mainly properties where the owner want to express his/her life style. We can call it character, charm … or simply peculiarity. This is what we mainly expect from the quality of the properties we list.
|
|
Hospitality |
Available people, committed with quality and guest’s satisfaction: this are our hosts. In one word: “hospitable” owners. Our properties are nice accommodation where guests can easily feel at home. This is a real opportunity for a better knowledge of the destination you are visiting, and a much bigger possibility to go a little bit outside the traditional mass tourism routes. You will be receiving “candid” suggestions on where to go, what to see, where to eat … as the locals do.
|
| Reliability:
|
|
Since its foundation Italia Lodging has put people and human relationships on the top of priorities. As for the properties selection, we like that our website and our service is something people can rely on. That’s why our website is based on a system where the staff is of greater importance. We like when the future guest find:
|
|
One to one relationship: |
|
We take our responsibility and we are committed with the customer satisfaction. We like to find the best deal properties for those looking for the best value for money, or the most charming hotel for guest looking for an accommodation where to spend a special occasion. This is something that future guest can hardly find with automated booking systems
|
|
Commitment: |
|
We are happy to say that with our website guest can forget the risk not to find what they have booked (even if they have done it 1 year in advance). Our staff double check every reservation, every transaction between the host and the guest. And we list only properties where hoteliers have given proof of reliability over the time. We are then confident that booking with us every risk is reduced to 0%
|
|
Guarantee of best rates: |
|
With Italia Lodging guests will always pay the best possible rate for the accommodation they want to book. Guests can check themselves, and since internet is an open media, if they find that somewhere else (including the property website) a better rate is applied, they can ask the same rate to be applied also with a safe reservation through our website.
|
|
Safe booking system |
|
We use for booking transactions the best internet standards. Booking via Italia Lodging you are booking through a Verisign certified website, which works since 2000. With us is like if you were booking directly with the hotel, but with the plus of the guarantee of a reliable and steady and easy to contact company.
|
|
No hidden costs |
|
We do not charge to travellers a single penny for our service.
