Sardinia: B&B, Domo and CAV reclassification extended to 30 April 2027
The Autonomous Region of Sardinia has given final approval to the extension, until 30 April 2027, of the deadline for reclassifying existing non-hotel accommodation businesses. Decision no. 47/2 of 23 September 2026 confirms the earlier Decision no. 39/27 of 22 July 2026.
Which businesses are covered
The extension applies to existing and authorised Bed & Breakfasts, Domos — including former Affittacamere and Locande — and Case e appartamenti per vacanze (CAV).
It is therefore not a general extension for every property offered to tourists: ordinary tourist rentals are not among the accommodation categories covered by this reclassification.
What operators should do
- compare the property’s current position with the functional and classification requirements in the regional directives;
- plan any necessary alterations in good time;
- file the reclassification or confirmation declaration for the relevant category through SUAPE;
- retain the receipt, application and evidence supporting each declaration.
Why it is best not to wait until April
The extension provides extra time, but the review may require documents, technical checks or work on the property. Sardinia’s Regional Council has also referred to the consequences of failing to comply with the reclassification duties. Operators should therefore start their checks early rather than treating 30 April 2027 as the date on which to begin.
