Why Milan is the most profitable market for short-term rentals in Italy
Milan is Italy's economic capital and one of Europe's most sought-after markets for short-term rentals. With more than 10 million visitors a year, a constant flow of business travellers and major events such as Salone del Mobile and Fashion Week, Milan offers a high occupancy rate all year round — even in months traditionally considered low season.
The economic potential of the Milanese market
A well-located one-bedroom apartment in the Navigli, Brera or Porta Romana districts, or near the Duomo, can generate between 1.500 and 2.500 euros per month, often double a traditional rental. Demand is supported by a unique mix of leisure tourism, business travellers and visitors to trade fairs and international events, including events related to Expo 2026.
Short-term rental regulations in Milan: what you need to know
Milan has introduced specific rules for short-term rentals: the Municipality has limited short-term leases in some central areas and requires registration in the Municipality's Register of Accommodation Facilities and obtaining Lombardy's Regional Identification Code (CIR). Navigating these regulations independently requires time and care: an error can result in significant penalties.
Dynamic pricing: the key to maximising revenue in Milan
The Milan market is extremely sensitive to events: during September Fashion Week and April's Salone del Mobile, average rates rise by 50-100% compared with the annual average. A professional property manager monitors these peaks in real time and adjusts prices automatically, ensuring you do not lose a single euro of potential revenue.
