Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cala Gonone Airbnb took in €14,631 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €790 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about €1,290 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €680 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

Top earners
The top-grossing listing, a one-bedroom unit at €732 a night (about three times the €240 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded.

Four of the six listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.
