Short let management in Malta, end to end
CiaoStay is run by two brothers who have managed short-let apartments for over fifteen years across Italy, the United Kingdom, Gibraltar and Miami Beach, and for the past four years in Malta. Full management means we take on the listing, the pricing, the guests, the cleaning, the maintenance and the paperwork in Sliema, St Julian's, Valletta and the rest of the island — and send you one clear statement every month.

What full management covers
One team, one fee, no gap between the guest experience and the upkeep of your home.
Multi-channel distribution
Your apartment goes live on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia, Hotels.com and Google Vacation Rentals, plus our travel-agency network and our own direct booking engine — one calendar, no double bookings.
Revenue and pricing
Rates move with real Malta demand: events, flight capacity, competitor availability and lead time. Peak weeks are protected and shoulder season is filled instead of discounted late.
Guest care in several languages
Screening, identity documents and arrival time collected before access instructions are released, self check-in, and support during the stay so problems never reach you.
Housekeeping and linen
Professional cleaning between every stay, hotel-grade linen, consumables restocked and a quality check before each arrival.
Maintenance and upkeep
A local team for repairs, seasonal servicing of air conditioning and appliances, and trusted contractors coordinated on your behalf with no mark-up.
Licensing and compliance
MTA licensing, guest registration and the environmental contribution handled as part of onboarding and kept in order while you operate.
Smart access
Keyless or key-safe arrivals with codes issued per booking, so guests never wait and nobody holds a spare set of your keys.
Transparent reporting
A monthly statement of bookings, revenue, costs and occupancy, plus owner portal access so you can look at any time.
How onboarding works
- 1
Free assessment
We visit or review the property, look at comparable units we already manage nearby and give you a realistic annual revenue range with the changes we would make to reach it.
- 2
Onboarding
Licensing checked and prepared, inventory and linen set up, photography arranged, house manual written, smart access installed.
- 3
Go live
Listings published across every channel with one synchronised calendar, pricing rules set, first bookings taken.
- 4
Ongoing management and reporting
Day-to-day operations run by us, with a monthly statement and a review of what to adjust for the next season.
Our agreements run annually with a straightforward exit, and you can block dates for your own use whenever you like — we only ask for reasonable notice so confirmed bookings are not affected.
