Profit
Is an Airbnb in Messina Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Messina Airbnb took in €6,495 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about €11,410, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €720 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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.

How Messina's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Messina listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €83 adds about €825 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €115 a night or more, against a median of €83. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about €630 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €1,840, against €516 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Messina listings average 4.77 stars, and 25% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about €950 a month, against €540 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Messina?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Messina?

Is Airbnb profitable in Messina?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Messina Airbnb grossed €6,495 in the 12 months to September 2026, 49% below the Sicily average of €12,634, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about €720 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
