Villagio Property Rental WordPress theme is a perfect solution to feature all your properties professionally and enable instant live bookings.
The theme can be used for villas, apartments, guest houses, B&B or other property types – present each of them effectively and rent out profitably. Villagio is very easy in terms of customization: edit the front page without coding via the visual WordPress Customizer and add your properties with all details and photos via the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin (included for free!).
The theme is ready to accept online payments for reservations via different payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, etc), or charge guests after arrival. The system of seasonal pricing and rates is very flexible, too – set different property cost when you want, block booking for chosen dates, set minimum days to stay, charge a full or deposit price, create discount coupons, etc. The theme is not overwhelmed with redundant plugins, making it lightweight and attractive for search engines.

Rent out Multiple Properties in Different Locations
Simply add each villa, guest house, apartment, etc. as a different accommodation type. Add regions as WordPress categories and sort your accommodations by them.
Real-time Search Availability Form
All booked accommodations (with or without payment) are automatically blocked on the backend, so the list of available accommodations and dates is always up-to-date. No manual control is needed.
