The latest survey of holiday home prices on the platform between January and November 2017 reveals how much Italians who rented accommodation through HomeAway spent on average for their domestic and international trips.

The study takes into consideration both domestic and international destinations, thus providing an overview of the average expense (average price per person per night in euros) incurred for renting accommodation on HomeAway purchased between January and November 2017.

The Italian ranking sees Veneto and Lombardy in first place among the most expensive destinations, where travelers who booked a holiday home in 2017 on HomeAway from Italy paid the highest average price per person (€41 per night). . The trend is reconfirmed if one looks at the ranking of cities, in which Milan and Venice occupy respectively first and second place, with an average price per night of €53 and €51.

Among the regions, Lazio is in second place with 37 euros per night while Sardinia and Tuscany are tied for third place with 35 euros per night. Liguria and Campania follow in fourth place (€ 34 per night), Trentino Alto Adige closes the top 5, with an average price of € 33 per night.

Furthermore, for less than 30 euros a night, travelers departing from Italy rented properties on HomeAway in 2017 in other tourist destinations such as Turin (29 €), Viareggio (27 €), Palermo (26 €), Lecce (€26) and Catania (€23) as well as by the sea, in Castellammare del Golfo (€29), Syracuse (€28) or Quartu Sant'Elena (€26).

Even abroad there have been excellent opportunities to visit some cities in countries such as Spain, France, Greece and Hungary where travelers have spent even less than 30 euros per night per person.

An analysis of these data shows that by renting a holiday home, both in Italy and abroad, you can save money by not giving up a holiday in the company of friends and relatives.

The fact that this type of accommodation is cheaper than other more traditional accommodations is certainly an added value, but renting a holiday home means above all having an entire property at your disposal in which to live an unforgettable experience together with your loved ones. conclusion by Gualberto Scaletta, Country Manager Italy HomeAway.

So is price a secondary variable in determining the choice of these travellers?
Surely an answer to this question will come from HomeAway's Barometer on the market for holiday homes in Italy, born from the collaboration between the site, a global expert on holiday homes, and Ciset, the International Center on Tourism Economy founded by the Ca' Foscari University of Venice and the Veneto Region, the results of the first Italian edition of which will be presented in 2018.

The holiday home market is growing in Italy, which is characterized by being one of the most active in Europe and therefore it will be essential to understand how it is evolving, especially as far as we are concerned in our country, and to investigate the reasons that characterize a demand in sharp rise in recent years.
