About Housefolio

Housefolio builds a digital welcome book for each rental property. You write sections such as Wi-Fi, check-in, house guide, local tips and directions in an editor that saves as you type, every property gets its own QR code, and guests scan it to open the book on their phone.

Content is translated automatically so a guest reads it in their own language, and properties can be reused with templates, inherited defaults and bulk edits. The product is deliberately scoped: no payments or upsells, only the welcome book, for hosts with one apartment or fifty.

Pricing starts at 5.99 euros per property per month for 1 to 5 properties, with the per-property price dropping as you add more, a 25 percent discount for annual billing and a 30-day free trial with no card. The site is available in English and Italian.
