Written by operators, not gurus

VI&CO manages luxury short-lets across London, Paris, Lake Como and Dubai. Vivian Ceresoli built it from nothing — no inherited portfolio, no investor money. This playbook is the map she wishes she had on day one.

You don't need to own property to earn from it

Short-let management is one of the few property businesses you can start with almost no capital: landlords have empty flats, guests want hotel-level stays, and the person in the middle — the operator — takes a management fee every single month. The catch? Nobody shows you how to start. Agencies guard their playbooks. Courses sell you hype.

What the Playbook walks you through

01

Set up the company

Legal structure, insurance, and compliance for short-let management — the boring parts, made checklist-simple.

02

Win your first landlord

The exact pitch, objection answers and contract that turn one meeting into your first managed property.

03

Price and list like a pro

Nightly pricing, platform setup and listing standards that make a normal flat perform like a boutique hotel.

04

Run five-star operations

Cleaning, check-ins, guest messaging and reviews — the systems that let you scale past one property.

Questions, answered

Do I need to own a property?

No. The entire model is managing other people's properties for a fee.

Does this work outside the UK?

The method is universal; legal specifics are UK-focused with guidance on adapting them.

How do I receive the playbook?

Instantly by email after purchase, as a PDF download link valid for 30 days.

Is this a course with upsells forever?

It's a complete playbook. Two optional add-ons exist — templates and calculators — and that's it.

One property. One contract. That's how every portfolio starts.
