Ruralis.com digitizes vacation homes in Italy’s internal/rural areas through three business lines: digital short‑let management and booking, bespoke travel and guest services, and consulting for public administrations to valorize local assets and access grants. The company provides end‑to‑end support including photos, payments, multilingual customer service, promotion, dynamic pricing and channel management. Ruralis reports growing traction and validated market fit: revenues rose to €193,000 in 2022 (from €53,000 in 2021) and managed properties grew from 6 in 2021 to over 40 in 2022. It hosted more than 5,000 tourists between 2020–2022 across 23 nationalities (18.3% international). The project has attracted institutional interest—Princeton University will organize study trips to Irpinia with stable visits to Avellino province. Ruralis plans aggressive expansion, targeting ~800 holiday homes by 2025 with projected revenues above €1.2 million and an EBITDA margin over 18%. Planned uses of capital include a new platform and channel management tools, property acquisitions, marketing, and team strengthening.
