5 things no holiday home should be without
Elia Ritzmann
A holiday home runs on small things. Here are five that decide whether a place feels easy or feels like work.
1. A spare key someone local can reach
A neighbour or friend nearby with a key saves a ruined trip when a guest is locked out or forgets one.
2. A welcome note that answers the obvious
Wifi, the water, the heating, the bins. One page that covers what every guest asks means fewer texts to you.
3. A first aid kit and the local emergency numbers
Somewhere visible. When something small goes wrong, the people there handle it without a search.
4. A clear way to leave it clean
A short arrival and departure list keeps the place in good shape, and keeps it fair between everyone who uses it.
5. A calendar everyone trusts
The one thing that prevents the classic clash: two families, one weekend. When everyone sees the same calendar, the place fills up without surprises.
The last three of these live in Casana: the info, the checklists, and the shared calendar, in one app made for places shared by family and friends.
