Casiola Property Standards

Introducing the Casiola Property Standards

Before becoming a Casiola home, every property undergoes a comprehensive review to ensure it meets our high standards. Our Casiola Property Standards focus on three key areas: Contents, Condition & Design, Safety & Security & Working Order. By meeting all 3 categories, your property becomes part of our trusted, high-quality vacation experience, giving guests confidence in their stay and maximizing your rental success.

Local touch, global standards

At Casiola, we celebrate the uniqueness of homes around the world. We understand that local nuances can influence the interpretation and application of our Casiola Property Standards. That’s why our dedicated local teams carefully review each home, ensuring it meets our quality expectations while respecting the charm and character that make your property special.

Contents

At Casiola, we believe that happy guests lead to happy homeowners. That’s why we encourage our owners to make their homes as inviting and comfortable as possible. Below, you’ll find an overview of our content essentials—the absolute minimum required to ensure a seamless guest experience. While these are the basics, we always recommend going the extra mile to create a stay that guests will love and remember!

Condition & Design

At Casiola, we create beautiful, inviting spaces where guests feel at home. Every Casiola home must meet our high standards for design, cleanliness, and overall condition to ensure an exceptional guest experience.

  • Entire home rental – no shared or spare bedrooms
  • Consistent design throughout the property for a cohesive, polished look
  • Tasteful, modern furnishings with updated décor and finishes
  • No major aesthetic damage – walls, floors, and surfaces should be free of cracks, stains, scuffs, or watermarks
  • Clean and freshly painted interiors for a well-maintained appearance
  • Furniture and decor in excellent condition – no stains, rips, chips, or scratches
  • No personal homeowner items – guests should not find personal photos, toiletries, clothing, shoes, or non-perishable food
  • Well-kept communal areas – building entryways, hallways, and shared spaces should be clean and well-maintained
  • Neat and organized electronics – wires and cables should be hidden or arranged neatly
  • Outdoor spaces maintained – no overgrown landscaping or dead plants
