Profit
Is an Airbnb in Chiasso Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chiasso Airbnb took in CHF 5,890 in the 12 months to May 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about CHF 9,800, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 600 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 Chiasso's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Chiasso listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 100 adds about CHF 1,010 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 145 a night or more, against a median of CHF 100. 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 CHF 590 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about CHF 1,520, against CHF 582 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 CHF 820 a month, against CHF 490 for the average one.
