Villagio - Vacation Rental WordPress Theme 2.2.0

The Villagio - Vacation Rental WordPress Theme is a specialized, premium WordPress theme designed exclusively for individuals, agencies, and companies operating in the short-term and vacation rental market.

It is ideal for renting out single properties (like a house, villa, or apartment) or managing an entire catalog of rental properties.

🏠 Core Vacation Rental Functionality

The main strength of Villagio is its reliance on a powerful, integrated booking system, often a proprietary one:

Integrated Booking System: It is typically bundled with or designed around the MotoPress Property Rental System (or a similar specialized booking plugin). This system handles all the core functionality:

Real-time Availability: Guests can check property availability for specific dates.

Online Payments: Accepts payments and deposits via WooCommerce or other payment gateways (like PayPal).

Seasonal Pricing: Allows setting different rates for peak seasons, low seasons, weekends, and specific holidays.

Variable Pricing: Supports charging extra for mandatory services, taxes, fees, and optional services (e.g., cleaning, airport transfer, pet fees).

Property Listings: Dedicated custom post types for "Properties" to easily manage and showcase individual rental units with:

High-resolution photo galleries.

Detailed descriptions of amenities (Wi-Fi, kitchen, pool, etc.).

Maps and location information.

Multiple Rentals: If you manage several properties (a rental agency), the system can handle the booking and availability for all of them simultaneously.

🛠️ Technical Details & Customization

Page Builder: Villagio is generally compatible with or utilizes the Elementor Page Builder for flexible, codeless customization.

Theme Options: It features a user-friendly theme options panel for global styling, color schemes, and typography adjustments.

Mobile-Friendly: The design is fully responsive and optimized for mobile booking, ensuring travelers can easily check availability and book on their phones.

iCal Sync: Crucially, it includes the ability to synchronize bookings and availability with external platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and HomeAway/Vrbo using the iCalendar format, preventing double bookings.

In summary, Villagio is a highly specialized and robust theme that provides an all-in-one solution for managing every aspect of an online vacation rental business, from showcasing properties to handling complex pricing and bookings.
