If you have decided to invest in real estate in Gaeta, or you simply have a house that you want to generate income from as a vacation home, you should know that the new DAC7 regulation has been approved to combat tax evasion on digital booking platforms. A regulation that forces to regularize tourist facilities that focus on short rentals-that is, less than 30 days-that can avoid tax obligations.
How to register a short rental contract?
For short-term rental contracts, the law does not require the registration of the deed with the Revenue Agency, but it does require that tourist accommodation facilities have a CIR (Reference Identification Code), an alphanumeric code to facilitate checks by the competent authorities. In addition, the law requires the communication of guest data to the territorially competent police headquarters by the landlord or intermediaries.
What is DCA7 and what it changes?
The new DAC7 legislation plans to combat tax evasion related to certain forms of online commerce, including digital booking platforms. How? The new DAC7 legislation plans to combat tax evasion related to certain forms of online commerce, including digital booking platforms. How? By obliging all digital platforms in Europe to transmit transaction data to the IRS from 1/1/2023 complete with names of payment recipients, tax codes, cadastral data of properties, bank account details and complete information on other payment options (PayPal, virtual cards and foreign accounts), along with their own commissions and fees. Operators with less than thirty bookings per year, or who collect less than €2,000 gross, and those with more than two thousand bookings are excluded from monitoring.
What is at risk if data is not declared?
Penalties for failure to report to the Internal Revenue Service (Agenzia delle Entrate) can range from a minimum of €3,000 to a maximum of €31,500. In case of incomplete or inaccurate information, the penalty ranges from €1,000 to €10,500.

Do you have savings and are thinking of making a solid investment that generates income, but feel a bit lost? Have you ever thought of investing in a seaside city, sun-drenched for most of the year and home to a growing community? If so, Gaeta is the city for you.
Investing in real estate today means making a well-thought-out decision to maximize your benefits. In short, it is about achieving profitability that rewards your investment. Your opportunity could be in southern Lazio, perfectly located between Rome and Naples.
Set along a stretch of coast that earned it the nickname “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea,” Gaeta enjoys a strategic and picturesque position. Its gulf has been the setting for numerous legends and events that have marked Italy’s historical routes. The “Riviera of Ulysses” is also the only stretch of coast between Lazio and Campania that boasts fine white sandy beaches. For all these reasons, Gaeta is a tourist destination appreciated by Italians and international visitors alike. Investing in property here means having the opportunity to start a hospitality business by converting the property into a holiday home or bed and breakfast.
Gaeta: the perfect seaside destination for property investment
The rental market in Gaeta is thriving, and the seasonal adjustment efforts undertaken by the City Council have given Gaeta a modern charm. During winter, the city offers four months full of events. Starting in November, there is the lighting of the magnificent “Fable of Lights.” These majestic lights are on display throughout the Christmas period until mid-January, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over Italy every year. The festivities continue in February with “Carnival,” then in March, with rising temperatures and the arrival of spring, Gaeta becomes a destination for weekend tourists who can reach the city in just a few hours by car.
During the spring, the “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea” becomes the ideal destination for international tourists from Northern Europe and Russia, who prefer this time of year for seaside holidays.
A real estate investment in Gaeta is a smart choice. Buying a house here costs less than an investment in the most renowned parts of the Campania coast, and less than it did in Gaeta a few years ago. Although prices are rising compared to June of last year, they are still around 30% lower than in 2014.
Gaeta is an excellent solution for investing in a seaside town without spending exorbitant amounts, offering advantageous and profitable rental income. According to estimates from December 2019, a rental property in Gaeta averages €7.73 per square meter.

Buying a house in Gaeta to invest in your future
Beyond the financial aspect, buying a home is a personal matter. Owning a beach house means carving out your own space to experience life’s most significant moments and spend peaceful times, with the certainty of being able to easily manage a future resale given the growing demand for properties in Gaeta.

Have you converted your property into an accommodation facility such as a holiday home or bed and breakfast, or do you intend to do so in the future? Then you need to pay attention to the rules concerning short-term rentals introduced by the Growth Decree (Dl n. 34/2019, converted with the law n. 58/2019) and the Safety Decree, in particular the code for short-term rental properties.
Short-term rentals legislation: awareness of the code
The Growth Decree includes “measures for economic growth and the solution of crisis situations“. This includes a measure to combat tax evasion for short-term leases, and involves the creation of a public database in which the accommodation facilities are grouped on the Italian territory, as intended for short-term leasing – which is less than 30 days -. The property is assigned a unique alphanumeric code which must be included in all the advertisements. Not even the real estate agencies that offer the rental property are exempt from this duty.Regarding the attribution of the identification code, this is allocated by the Region which, once received the protocol number of the requested document made to the City Council, sends the code. The restrictive measures do not only concern owners of holiday homes, but also for those renting accommodation, or rooms, for short periods such as Airbnb. Fines, for those who do not fulfil this duty, can range from 500 to 5,000 euro, and these figures can double in the event of a recurrence.
Registration of guests: how to do it
The Safety Decree also provides rules of behaviour to be adopted relating to short-term rentals. Among these there is an obligation to communicate to the police headquarters the general information of the tenant of the room or apartment. To do this, you must access the Alloggiati Web state police portal within 24 hours of the guest’s arrival, or immediately in the case of stays less than 24 hours.
The information is then sent to the Revenue Agency which forwards them to the City Council , so that they can verify the regular payment of the tourist tax.
Short coupon dry rents: who can benefit from it
According to 24E issued by the Revenue Agency, the 21% dry coupon is also applicable on short-term renting. Here are the requirements to be eligible.
Enter into a contract for the rental of the property for residential use of less than 30 days.
The property must not be part of a business operation, therefore the contract must be entered into between persons.
Short-term rentals include sublease and loan-for-use contracts for consideration, provided they are less than 30 days.
The property must be in Italy and belong to one of the cadastral categories from A1 to A11, excluding category A10 and related accompaniments
The rental contract may include the supply of linen, wi-fi, air conditioning, utilities, but excludes those forms of leasing with breakfast service, car rental, tourist guides that are part of the Bed and Breakfast system.

This year’s budget law brought about a change in the taxation of properties rented on a short-term basis (eg. for less than 30 days). In this article we will review what the 2024 flat rate tax consists of, on how many properties it can be used and how to normalize properties intended for short-term rentals.
How does the 2024 flat rate tax change?
Let\’s start by saying what is meant by flat rate tax.
The flat rate tax is an optional regime which takes the form of a substitute tax for the Irpef and additional taxes for the part deriving from the income of the property. The duration of the flat-rate tax contract can be 4 years with an extension of another 4, 3 years with an extension of another 2, 1 month with a maximum duration of 18 months, a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 3 years. Furthermore, it does not require stamp duty or registration fees as it is not subject to the obligation of registration even if it needs to be drawn up in written form.
After much discontent from hoteliers, who accused property owners of unfair competition by taking advantage of a “facilitated” taxation for short-term rentals, the government took action by introducing in the 2024 Budget Law an increase in the flat-rate tax for those who rent properties for a period of less than 30 days, the so-called short-term rentals . let\’s review in detail what this increase consists of.
The 2023 dry tax rate goes from 21% to 26%, but not for everyone. Taxpayers who rent a single apartment can still benefit from the 21% rate, while from the second apartment the rate rises to 26%. Therefore, those who have more than one apartment will only have to pay the increased rate from the second onwards.
How many properties can I rent with the flat rate tax?
Unfortunately for apartment owners, the use of this tax regime is limited to the rental of a maximum of 4 apartments. From the fifth apartment the presumption of business activity arises for which it is necessary to have a VAT number.
If you rely on online booking portals, the 21% withholding tax must be paid by the portal itself which will pay it directly to the treasury. The taxpayer must indicate this in their tax return. Introduction of the CIN for short-term rentals
The introduction of the CIN
(National Identification Code) is also confirmed for residential real estate units intended for short-term rentals. This legislation has the aim of combating tax evasion resulting from failure to declare holiday home rentals.
The CIN must be displayed outside the building in which the apartment in question is located and must always be specified in rental advertisements both by landlords and by real estate brokerage activities or online portals.
In case of non-compliance, significant financial penalties are incurred. Here are the specific cases and the sums.
For a property without CIN it ranges from 800 to 8000 euros,
For failure to declare the CIN in the rental advertisement, the amount ranges from 500 to 5,000 euros and the immediate removal of the advertisement,
For a property without safety requirements the fine ranges from 600 to 6,000 euros,
For those who carry out business activities who have not requested the SCIA, the fine ranges from 2,000 to 10,000 euros.
The decree contains specific provisions to be implemented in municipal and regional areas in the attribution of identification codes for properties intended for short-term rentals.

Mini guide for the summer – delta Immobiliare
Do you have a balcony exposed to the sun all day? With a few adjustments and a small investment, you can transform it into a cool and livable corner, perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. As a real estate agent, I know well how much a well-furnished balcony increases the perceived value of a home, especially during the summer months.
In this guide, I will reveal the best solutions for creating a shaded area on your balcony, choosing products that are practical, affordable, and easy to install. Good balcony shade can make all the difference on the hottest days. With the right choices, you can enjoy your outdoor space even during the sunniest hours.
1. Drop-arm awnings: practical and functional
Drop-arm awnings are perfect for protecting the balcony from the sun without significantly altering the facade. They are easy to install, even as a DIY project, and are available in various colors and sizes.
Ideal for those living in apartment buildings who want to improve privacy and comfort. Prices range from €50 to €200.
2. Balcony umbrellas: a flexible choice
Half-umbrellas or wall-mounted ones adapt well even to small balconies. They are quick to set up and can be moved according to the sun’s exposure.
Excellent value for money: from €35 to €150. A simple alternative for those looking for a low-impact solution.
3. Side or cassette awnings: elegance and comfort
For those who want more structured protection, I recommend cassette awnings. They offer a polished aesthetic impact and can be motorized or manual.
Great for enhancing mid-to-high-end apartments. Prices from €160 up to €600.
4. Combined solutions for larger terraces
A mix of awnings and umbrellas allows you to create relaxation zones, reading corners, or outdoor dining areas even on exposed terraces.
As a real estate consultant, I always suggest presenting these spaces already furnished to help visitors imagine living in the home.
Recommended products (at affordable prices)
Here are some items you can find online or in specialized stores, perfect for every need:
Yes, in some cases, a permit is necessary before installing awnings or outdoor structures on the balcony. Here is a small guide to help you out:
In apartment buildings: check the regulations and ask the building manager’s opinion, especially if the awning changes the aesthetics of the facade.
In historic centers or restricted areas: a permit from the Municipality or the Superintendency is required.
On public land or overhanging: a specific occupancy permit is needed.
If you have any doubts, I recommend contacting the municipal technical office or your trusted agent. In Gaeta, Formia, and Itri, we at delta Immobiliare are well-versed in local regulations and can offer you support.
Photos taken at strategic times to highlight light and comfort
Every detail counts

2025 Real Estate Market: Gaeta, Formia, and Itri amid stability, growth, and new opportunities in the 2025 Real Estate Market
In a national context of slow recovery and with encouraging signs in the central-southern market, Lower Lazio remains a strategic area for those looking for a home, investing, or wanting to enhance a property’s value. In particular, the municipalities of Gaeta, Formia, and Itri represent three distinct faces of a territory rich in potential.
In the 2025 real estate market, it is important to consider all the opportunities that Lower Lazio has to offer.
Gaeta: coastal charm meets tourism demand
The 2025 real estate market in Gaeta shows promising signs of growth.
Gaeta continues to be one of the most vibrant markets in the southern Pontine area. Its tourism appeal—strengthened by the port, beaches, and an increasingly enhanced historic center—fuels a strong demand for vacation homes and second homes, from both Italians and foreign buyers.
Sale prices: between €2,300 and €4,000/m², depending on the area (historic center, Serapo, via Marina di Serapo, or the medieval quarter).
Short-term rentals: growing, with interesting yields thanks to the increasingly long seasonality.
Opportunities: investments in small apartments to be renovated for tourism use or rental income.
Formia: mobility and services drive the residential sector
Formia maintains a more residential and stable profile, thanks to the presence of services, schools, healthcare infrastructure, and transport (direct train to Rome and Naples). This ensures that demand is driven by local families, commuters, and young couples.
Average prices: around €1,900–€2,100/m², with variations depending on the area (S. Pietro, center, Castellone).
Rentals: stable, with rents between €500 and €800/month for well-serviced three-room apartments.
Trend: slight recovery in first-home purchases, driven by falling rates and greater accessibility of fixed-rate mortgages.
In the 2025 real estate market, Formia offers stability that attracts investors.
Itri: nature, tranquility, and affordability
Itri represents a quieter market, but with an excellent quality/price ratio. Surrounded by greenery, just minutes from the sea, it attracts both residents looking for peace and investors seeking detached houses, villas, or building plots.
Prices per m²: between €800 and €1,200/m², among the most affordable in the area.
Growing demand: from those looking for a first home away from the city chaos, but also from Romans looking for a summer retreat.
Opportunities: detached homes to be renovated or new Class A constructions.
General Trends in 2025
More accessible mortgages: recent ECB rate cuts are making financing more advantageous, especially for fixed rates.
Decrease in supply: the increase in tourist rentals has reduced availability on the residential market.
Selective demand: there is a growth in informed buyers focused on quality, energy efficiency, and location.
Itri is well-positioned in the 2025 real estate market for those seeking tranquility.
Conclusions and Agent Advice
“Those wishing to sell today have the opportunity to do so in a shorter time than in the past—but it is essential to position the property correctly, highlighting its strengths.
For buyers, this is the ideal time to act intelligently: favorable rates and an abundance of information allow for more informed choices.”

Gaeta, with its maritime charm and breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, offers an urban landscape characterized by houses with vibrant and harmonious colors. Choosing exterior house colors in a seaside town like Gaeta is not just about aesthetics, but also functionality: the climate, local architecture, and respect for tradition play a fundamental role.
The most popular exterior house colors in Gaeta
Houses in seaside villages often sport light and bright tones. In Gaeta, the most common colors for exterior facades include:
White and Ivory: They reflect sunlight, helping to keep interiors cool during hot Mediterranean summers.
Azure and Light Blue: They evoke the sea and the sky, creating a sense of continuity with the surrounding environment.
Yellow and Ochre: Warm tones that enhance the Mediterranean character and bring vibrancy to the streets.
Pink and Terracotta: Very common in historic alleys, they evoke a sense of warmth and hospitality.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Property’s Facade Color
Sun Exposure: Light colors reflect heat, while dark colors absorb it, influencing living comfort.
Local Regulations: In many areas of Gaeta, there are urban planning regulations that mandate certain colors to preserve historical identity.
Materials Used: Color rendering varies depending on the facade material, whether it is plaster, stone, or brick.
Architectural Style: Older homes are better suited to pastel or neutral colors, while modern villas can dare to use bolder shades.
How to choose exterior colors for country houses
Beyond the sea, Gaeta boasts a charming hilly landscape where peace reigns supreme. In this case, to choose exterior colors for country houses, several factors must be evaluated, such as the surrounding landscape, the size and exposure of the home, and the building’s architecture.
If you want to visually increase the property’s exterior space, an excellent choice would be to opt for light colors. Beige, cream, sand, ivory, and even off-whites are colors that blend well with the bucolic landscape; they also provide brightness and trick the eye into making the building look larger. For a sophisticated touch, you can pair these neutral colors with darker, warmer shades like burgundy, brown, or chocolate, or more vibrant and lively tones to outline and highlight certain architectural details of the property.
Looking to buy or sell a home? Pay attention to exterior house colors
For those wishing to renovate their home’s facade in Gaeta, it is advisable to rely on industry experts. A local real estate agency can offer advice on colors that harmonize with the urban context and on any necessary permits. A well-thought-out color choice can make all the difference in making a home welcoming and in tune with the unique maritime landscape of this beautiful city!
