I'll let you in on a secret (that portals don't want you to know)
From traveler to traveler, I want to be 100% transparent with you. Often, when you look for a room, you open https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&source=gmail&q=Booking.com or Expedia to compare prices. It's normal. But have you ever wondered where that part of the price you pay extra on portals goes? It ends up in commissions. Money you pay for the "booking service," but which gives you nothing in return, except a confirmation email.
At Villa Malvasio, we made a different choice. A choice of value.
The mathematics of the "BeSafe Rate": Spend the same, get double
Instead of giving away that margin to booking multinationals, we decided to invest it in your safety. Here is how our transparent pricing works:
- On Portals (OTAs): The price includes a high commission that goes to the portal.
- What you get: The room. And that's it. If you have an unexpected event, you are often uncovered.
- On the Official Website (BeSafe Rate): The price is similar (or often lower!), but that "difference" covers the cost of the Insurance Policy.
- What you get: The room + Cancellation Coverage + Medical Assistance + Roadside Assistance.
Basically: at the same cost, here you have a complete insurance package.
Why give money to portals when you can protect yourself?
By booking the BeSafe Rate directly from our website, you transform a "dead expense" (the commission) into active protection.
I studied the policy to offer the most useful coverage for those coming to Sardinia:
- Cancellation up to 100%: Even for illness (COVID included), injury, or dismissal. Even if your dog or cat gets sick!
- Roadside Assistance: Fundamental. If your car or rental car stops while going to the beach, the tow truck is covered.
- 24/7 Medical Assistance: Doctors, medicines, and medical repatriation.
It's not an "extra cost", it's an "included service"
Many guests ask me: "Roberto, but how much more does insurance cost me?" The answer is: Nothing compared to what you would pay elsewhere without protection. We calibrated the rate so that it is competitive with major online channels. The difference is that if you book "over there" and get sick, you lose the money. If you book "over here", you are refunded.
How to make the smart choice
- Go to our official booking system.
- Select your dates.
- Look for the rate with the "BeSafe Rate" logo.
- Compare it with portals: you will see that the convenience is evident because peace of mind is already in the price.
Stop paying empty commissions. Start investing in your peace of mind.
