How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Morcote?
Gross bookings per Morcote listing averaged CHF 17,929 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ticino average: CHF 15,853), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Morcote listing brings in CHF 3,960 in July, its best month, and CHF 1,270 in January, its slowest. August runs within 5% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 39% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CHF 5,140+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CHF 3,050 or more, roughly CHF 1,500 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CHF 1,600 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CHF 795 or less, about half of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Morcote Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Morcote Airbnb took in CHF 17,929 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 990 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 CHF 1,920 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 2,040 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,160 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 860 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.

How Morcote's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Morcote listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 190 adds about CHF 1,910 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 255 a night or more, against a median of CHF 190. 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 1,590 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CHF 3,960, against CHF 1,270 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Morcote listings average 4.75 stars, and 11% 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 CHF 2,860 a month, against CHF 1,490 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Morcote?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Morcote?
In Morcote, 84% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Morcote?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Morcote Airbnb grossed CHF 17,929 in the 12 months to September 2026, 13% above the Ticino average of CHF 15,853. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, CHF 11,909 a year (about CHF 990 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about CHF 1,920 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
