Your property, managed your way

Whether you need help improving your pricing, full management of your second home, or support with booking enquiries, Ovitzia has a solution for everyone.

We’re built on working around owners and what they actually need.

Established in 2016, we’re a small but thriving boutique Airbnb and holiday-let management company serving Lancashire, including Blackpool, Lancaster, Preston, Lytham St Annes, Morecambe, Clitheroe, the Ribble Valley, Forest of Bowland, Burnley, and beyond.

Lancashire itself covers a particularly broad tourism market, from Blackpool and Morecambe Bay to Lancaster, the Ribble Valley and the 312-square-mile Forest of Bowland National Landscape.

Choose what you want us to take off your hands

A short-let requires attention throughout every step of the process. Whether it’s administrative tasks before the booking, support during the stay, or the turnover and maintenance after check-out. How many of those jobs Ovitzia takes over depends on you.

Who is actually managing your property?

With us, software isn’t your manager. Mirko is.

Friendly Italian Mirko Zara founded Ovitzia in 2016, drawing on decades of experience across holiday homes, property, and short-let operations.

He’s still responsible for and active in the business today, and he’ll be your primary contact.

Technology might play an important role in what we do, but a real person remains accountable for how well your management performs.

Expert insight: The current opportunity in Lancashire

Blackpool is a destination on a scale few other counties can replicate, with the Tower, Pleasure Beach, piers, entertainment venues, and autumn Illuminations creating an established visitor calendar that extends beyond the traditional summer season.

Lancaster offers an entirely different short-let opportunity. The Castle, historic centre, museums and cultural offerings make it a heritage city in its own right, while its proximity to the wider Lancashire countryside and coast broadens the reasons to stay.

Then there’s the Ribble Valley, where Clitheroe, Pendle Hill, country pubs, food, weddings, and countryside breaks attract guests looking for something completely different. The Forest of Bowland adds walking, cycling, villages, wildlife and rural escapes to that mix.

From a revenue perspective, those differences matter. Blackpool properties may rely on high volumes of leisure stays and event demand. Rural houses can earn through fewer, higher-value group and weekend bookings. Lancashire properties can benefit from shorter stays spread more consistently throughout the year.

What happens when you join Ovitzia?

When we onboard Lancashire properties, we consider location, property type, guest capacity, competition, local demand, booking windows, and seasonality before deciding how to position and price the property.

We get to know the property

Tell us where it is, how many guests it sleeps, whether it’s already operating, and what you’re currently doing yourself.

We look at how it’s performing

If you’re already live, we’ll look at the listing, pricing, calendar, reviews, and current setup rather than changing things for the sake of it.

You choose what you hand over

We’ll recommend the management level that fills the gaps rather than automatically pushing you towards full management.

We set everything up

Depending on your package, that can include photography, listings, pricing, booking channels, guest processes, and the operational setup.

We manage and report

Once live, we manage the areas you’ve handed over and keep you updated on performance, including through your owner dashboard.

Lancashire Airbnb Management FAQs

See all common host questions.

Do you manage holiday lets as well as Airbnbs in Lancashire?

Yes. Airbnb is one booking channel. We manage short-term rental businesses and, depending on your package, can distribute the property across multiple booking platforms.

How much does Airbnb management cost in Lancashire?

Revenue Optimiser starts from 5%, Growth Management from 8%, Always On Management from 10%, and Fully Managed from 12%.

Can I keep my existing cleaner?

Yes. If you already have a cleaner who knows the property and consistently does a good job, we can work around them. Always On Management may suit you better than replacing an arrangement that’s already working.

Can Ovitzia only manage my pricing?

Yes. Revenue Optimiser starts from 5% and is specifically designed for owners who want to continue operating their short-let while handing.

Am I tied into a long contract?

No. Ovitzia operates with one month’s notice.
