How much does an Airbnb earn in Nice?

A well-managed short-term rental in Nice typically earns between €12,000 and €40,000 in gross annual revenue: roughly €12,000–18,000 for a studio, €18,000–28,000 for a one-bedroom, and €25,000–40,000 for a well-located two-bedroom. These are indicative ranges — the actual figure depends on your neighbourhood, the season, the quality of your listing and how the property is managed. Here is how to read those numbers, and how to push them up.

Income ranges by property type

In Nice, nightly rates vary widely with size and season. Over a full year, with serious management and a polished listing, these are the orders of magnitude we observe:

• Studio: €60–90 per night depending on the season, around €12,000–18,000 in gross annual revenue.
• One-bedroom: €90–140 per night, around €18,000–28,000 per year.
• Two-bedroom: €130–200+ per night in summer, around €25,000–40,000 per year.

The same one-bedroom can earn €18,000 or €28,000. The gap is not luck — it comes down to location, pricing and occupancy. That is where a listing goes from getting by to performing.

The neighbourhood does (almost) everything

Location is the single biggest driver of income. Old Nice (Vieux-Nice) and the Carré d'Or command the highest nightly rates, with tourist demand all year round. The Port district attracts a loyal, more local crowd, Gambetta and Jean-Médecin offer a strong balance of accessibility and yield, and Libération is rising fast on the back of its market and neighbourhood life. A studio in Old Nice can genuinely compete with a one-bedroom further out.

Seasonality in Nice

Nice does not run at one speed all year. Summer brings peak rates and near-full occupancy. But the city has a rare advantage: a long shoulder season and an active winter, driven by the Carnival, conferences and European travellers chasing off-season sun. A well-run property in Nice never really sleeps — which sets it apart from purely summer destinations.

The four factors that move your income

• Location: the neighbourhood sets both the floor and the ceiling of your nightly rate.
• Season and pricing: a rate calendar adjusted week by week captures the peaks without sacrificing occupancy.
• Listing quality: professional photos, an accurate description and guest reviews are what earn the click — and then the booking.
• Management: fast replies, spotless cleaning, smooth check-in. Platforms promote well-run listings, and guests recommend them.

What about the management fee?

Handing over your keys has a cost, so let's state it plainly: at Yellow, the commission starts at 22% of revenue, and cleaning fees are paid by the guest, not by you. In return, the listing is optimised, prices are adjusted continuously and the property stays booked and cared for all year. In most cases, a professionally managed property nets more than a part-time self-managed one — simply because it is better filled, better priced and better reviewed.
