Holiday let management in Nice, France

It depends on the neighbourhood, the type of property and how often you use it yourself. Our hybrid plan (holiday letting in summer + student or mobility lease from September to May) is often the most profitable in Nice, as it combines high summer rates with the stability of monthly rent for the rest of the year. We compare all 4 options for your property free of charge.

Yes, Nice town hall requires a prior declaration for any short-term let. If the property is not your main residence, you must also obtain a change-of-use authorisation. We support you through every step.

The tourist tax (taxe de séjour) in Nice varies according to the property's classification. It is collected automatically by the Airbnb and Booking platforms, then paid over to the Métropole. We take care of the follow-up.

In Nice, a main residence can be let short term for up to 120 nights a year (Métropole regulation of 22 June 2026).

Declaration at the town hall with a registration number and the tourist tax remain mandatory in all cases. We advise you on the most advantageous status.

The rent is freely set, ideal for targeting professionals from Sophia Antipolis and the hospitals, or students on a gap year.
