How much does a studio in Antibes earn as a holiday rental?

Data collected on 2 October 2026. A studio near the centre of Antibes, let all year round, leaves its owner roughly €7,200 to €15,600 a year, and about €11,700 in the realistic case. Those amounts are after the booking platforms’ fees and our 20% commission, with cleaning paid by the guests, but before your own running costs and tax. They come straight from the data and formulas of our estimator, with nothing added. They are ranges built on comparable homes, not a promise of income.

What does a studio in Antibes earn, in three scenarios?

The estimator places every home between three levels. The cautious one (“pessimistic” in the estimator) is a first season, with few reviews, at the low end of comparable homes. The realistic one is the middle of comparable homes, let through the whole season with prices kept up to date. The top of the market (“optimistic”) is a studio with excellent reviews and strong demand. Here is what that gives for a studio at the town-centre reference point, about 300 metres from the sea, open to guests all year, with no weeks kept by the owner.

How do you get from rental income to the net figure?

Take the realistic case: 237 nights at an average of €80, or about €19,090 of rental income. The estimator first takes off the platforms’ fees, counted at 18.8% and charged on the cleaning fee as well (€95 per stay for a studio, with stays of five nights on average): about €4,440. It then takes off our commission of 20%, VAT included, worked out on what the platforms pay out, less the cleaning: about €2,930. That leaves €11,720, a little under €980 a month on average.

That net figure is not what ends up in your pocket. Electricity, water, internet, insurance and tax are not deducted; nor are repairs, which we bill separately, as the pricing page explains.

Does the district change the result?

Yes, and most of all in the cautious case. The data has five reference points in the town.

From the old town to the cape, the realistic case barely moves: €11,500 to €11,700. The route there differs, though. In Juan-les-Pins and on the cape, a night sells for more and sells less often. In the cautious case the gap widens: 201 nights let in the centre, 132 in Juan-les-Pins, 143 on the cape, 129 in Les Semboules. A studio in Juan-les-Pins that starts slowly leans harder on its summer. In Les Semboules, well back from the sea, all three levels are lower. Each district is described on our Antibes and Juan-les-Pins page.

What makes one studio earn more than another?

Two studios on the same street do not earn the same. The estimator corrects the result with a few assumptions, deliberately cautious ones.

• Location. The sum starts from the reference points nearest the address, then adjusts the price for the distance to the sea.
• Outdoor space. A terrace adds 5% to the nightly price, a balcony 2%; having neither takes off 3%.
• Floor. A high floor with a lift adds 4% to the price; a ground floor takes off 3%. A high floor without a lift takes 4% off the price and 3% off the nights let.
• Air conditioning. Without it, the sum removes 15% of the nights let in July and August, and 7% in June and September.
• Parking. In Antibes, a space adds 4% to the nights let.
• Condition. A recently renovated studio gains 8% on price and 2% on nights let; one that needs freshening up loses 8% and 3%.

Taken together, these corrections are capped: never more than 40% above, nor more than 35% below. They are working assumptions, not measurements taken in your home. The rest the data does not put a number on: street noise, the bed, the quality of the photographs, what the first guests write. Yet that is where a studio moves from one scenario to the next.

Which months matter most?

The year is not flat. With the monthly weights measured for the coast, the realistic case gives a net of about €540 in January and €1,640 in July. The four months from June to September bring 47% of the year’s income; the four from November to February, 21%. The average nightly price goes from €69 in January to €96 in July. These weights hold for the whole coast, not for Antibes alone.

Trade shows and festivals sit on top of that curve. For an address in Antibes, the estimator flags MIPIM in March, the Cannes Film Festival in May, Cannes Lions in June, Jazz à Juan in July, the Yachting Festival in September and MIPCOM in October. It does not put a figure on their effect, and neither will we: it shows in the price of particular days, not in a yearly average.

And compared with a long-term let?

For a 25 m² studio, the estimator puts a furnished long-term let at about €6,200 a year, excluding service charges. It starts from the 2025 advertised rents published by the French state for the town, takes off 13% for charges, adds 10% for a furnished home and allows for 5% vacancy. The realistic holiday-rental case is therefore 1.9 times that amount; the cautious case, 1.2 times. The comparison has its limits: a long-term tenant pays the electricity, water and internet, which stay with you in a holiday let, and the work involved is not the same. We give the question a note of its own: holiday let or long-term let.

Can you actually let all year?

All these figures assume a studio open to guests twelve months a year. That is not always allowed. For Antibes, our guide to the 2026 rules gives 90 days a year for a main residence and a change-of-use authorisation for a second home, both marked as to be confirmed with the town hall. The building’s co-ownership rules matter too. All of this is checked with the town hall, and the tax side with an accountant: we do not give legal or tax advice. The details are in the 2026 rules, town by town.

How do you get the figure for your own studio?

The estimator runs this sum for your address in a minute, free and without signing up, using your answers on floor, outdoor space or air conditioning. To go further, the property study is free: one visit, then a costed range. If you then entrust the studio to us, set-up is free, the commission is 20% of rental income, VAT included, and cleaning and linen are paid by the guests. What we look at before committing is set out on the owners page.
