By Kamila Bukowska, founder of CASA READY · As of October 2026
Short answer
Is holiday renting in Ciudad Quesada worth it? Probably yes: we found no moratorium, but the licensing situation is not officially confirmed. Actively rented holiday homes in Ciudad Quesada are booked 64% of the time according to AirDNA (October 2025 to September 2026), at an average of €150 per night. Because large houses dominate here, the nightly rate depends heavily on the property. For the first year we plan with 56%, around 185 booked nights.
The figures for Ciudad Quesada
Three scenarios for a two-bedroom apartment. The plan value applies to the first year of letting, without reviews or repeat guests; the market level is what established homes achieve today.
| Scenario | Occupancy | Nights per year | Gross income 2-bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cautious | 49% | 162 | varies |
| Plan value first year | 56% | 185 | varies |
| Market level | 64% | 211 | varies |
In Ciudad Quesada more than 45% of listings have three or more bedrooms, so we do not use a flat rate for apartments; we calculate it for the specific property. 330 marketable nights.
