Vacation rentals with beach access in Balkans

I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Everything from start to finish was just perfect! The apartment is located near the town center and is within walking distance from several amazing restaurants, the beach, the bus stop, and amazing shops including a grocery store. It also has the most beautiful view! Anna was extremely helpful leading up to our stay and during. She organized car transportation, dinner reservations, as well as a chef dinner hosted at the apartment, with several courses that were all family recipes and unique to the area of Praiano. This experience was worth every single penny! We really fell in love with Praiano. So many restaurants with the best food and very kind people, with zero crowd from the surrounding areas. We cannot wait to come back someday!

We stayed at Ida’s lovely apartment for 5 nights. Ida arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport and the driver was waiting for us and took us to the apartment and brought down our luggage which was very helpful. Ida was waiting for us and showed us around her lovely apartment. It is spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The view is amazing. The outside space is great - table and chairs and sunbeds on the terrace as well as seats and a table on the balcony to gaze at the view of Old town. It also has a bbq. We managed the steps up and down as reasonably fit (for our age - mid 60’s). Ida is a fab host - and very kind. On the balcony to gaze at Dubrovnik.

The location and view of the house were beautiful. Just seeing that view when you wake up in the morning makes you really happy.

We cannot say enough positive things about the host Luksa and the apartment. He was fantastic from the initial contact to when we checked out. Warm, welcoming, and always available. He arranged a lovely driver, Srjdan, to pick us up at the airport; we called upon him several times to drive us. The apartment was spotless, tastefully furnished, well stocked, and in the perfect location - just above Old Town to be out of the crowd, but close enough to walk. The apartment size is very European and was perfect for the 2 of us, meaning if you are looking for a huge modern hotel space, stay in Texas. The views from the balcony were magical, and because of that, we spent more time there than anticipated. We fell in love with Dubrovnik and will certainly always stay with Luksa in the future.

Federica was a lovely host, communicated well and constantly provided guidance and assistance throughout our stay when needed. The place was clean and tidy. The apartment was close to the port but when the doors are closed you can't hear anything and and sleep well. Lovely place to stay.

Natasha was a superb host, friendly and enthusiastic. The location of the apartment was spot on for us, far enough away from the busy old town centre but only a 10 minute walk away. the balcony view was stunning. the grocery store at the top of the stairs was very handy.

Phenomenal views. Pristine and well kept apartment. Massive sunny balcony. Air conditioners in all major rooms were excellent. WiFi is excellent. Great restaurants, bakery, small grocer and barber within 50 meters. Only caveats: 1. make sure you are ok with stairs 2. If you rent a car, street parking is the only option

this place exceeded my expectations. selma and her family are wonderful and the airbnb was perfect. i highly highly recommend this place!!

We had an incredible stay at Slavin's Airbnb — undoubtedly the best location we've experienced in Europe! The place is stunning, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. We spent five wonderful nights here with our two young children, and it was a truly memorable experience. Slavin was a fantastic host, very welcoming and attentive to our needs, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is ideal for families seeking tranquility and a chance to unwind, yet it's conveniently located just a short 10-15 minute drive to the nearest supermarket. We highly recommend Slavin's Airbnb to families or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting.

6 out of 5 stars:) The apartment is very tastefully furnished, has character with sweet details and meets all needs, you don't want to leave the house. The balcony and the view are amazing. Burcu is a very warm person and a good host. Cat Luna is a delight:)) The location is very central, so there was a little street noise during the holiday, but it didn't bother me:) Very close to many cafes, restaurants and markets, a big advantage. It may be the best of Heybeli! I plan to come again🫶🌸

We were before the start of the summer season. There were not many other tourists. The weather was ideal. For our family of five, the villa and its three bedrooms were just the right size. It was a nice surprise that the villa also had a bricked outdoor grill and pizza oven. The tiny little road was a surprise when we arrived in the dark and almost stopped faith. It would have been nice to have a tavern or/shop within walking distance. We only had one driver. The week went by quickly and was fun. We recommend it to other family groups.

Heaven on Earth! The accommodation is so beautiful and unique. The house is located on a mountain surrounded by nature and tranquility. It is equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed every second there. The view is simply breathtaking. Alfredo is a wonderful host. Thank you for this amazing stay!

Raffaella’s place was amazing and would definitely stay again! The view was absolutely stunning and the room was very nice and clean, just what we needed. The location to meet for check in was a little confusing at first but we found her quickly. Rafaella’s brother was able to carry our luggage up and down when we came and left which was a huge help since there were so many stairs. Additionally and most importantly, my boyfriend proposed here on this beautiful balcony and I cannot thank Rafaella enough for everything she did to set up and prepare it for him. It was perfect !!

Communication between the manager and us was impeccable happy to order taxis and direct us to the shops, we were un fortunate to have gale force winds during our last two days but Rania ensured we were safe and happy. The approach to the villa is a little scary at first but once you get used to the steep decent your good to go, I would advise two smaller cars as apposed to a large people carrier which we had as turning can be tight for the larger cars,

What do I say? The contact with Ileana was benevolent and super warm from the beginning. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent travel recommendations in advance and constantly asked if she could help in any way. I found everything as described in the house. And it was really all to my taste. I would live in a similar way. I felt very comfortable there. Due to the road being busier than expected, it was sometimes a little louder due to the traffic. But I did not perceive that as extremely disturbing, but I noticed it, probably because I live in total peace. Ileana, I would come back. Thank you for this charming house and you...

We loved the house, the location, the host - everything! Velo Travna is an ideal location for people who like to get away from it all. The house has been lovingly restored by Romano and is extremely comfortable and stylish throughout. The bay is beautiful with glass-clear water. Romano definitely deserves his title of super-host. He is so kind and helpful and made our whole experience trouble-free. We’ll definitely be coming back next year.

Frank was a very genuine and friendly Maltese local. A true gentleman. He was so informative about his lovely island. We just wish we had more time than the 2 days that we had there.

This place is unbelievable and if it's available I would just book it. Balcony view has to be seen to believe. Nice deck to swim from and great host.

This is place is great for people who love the beach . Walkable to a lot beach beach club but away from the noise. Host is very responsive and very helpful . Super clean, the Private pool with a view and the bar service is outstanding. Everything is outstanding highly recommended.

Fantastic apartment highly recommended

This location is unique and we got to spend a few days as if it was ours. If you are ready to climb quite a few a few steps to the street, get your cardio on, you'll feel better about the pizza you just ate... Giuseppe was always quick to respond to any questions we had, offered good local recommendations, and helped with booking a taxi one morning.

Absolutely stunning apartment on the top floor of a 3 story building with the most amazing sea views one can lavish in. This corner apartment is very spacious and airy with a super comfortable bed and linens, a great open kitchen with all appliances and the most amazing wrap around balcony literally a stones throw away from the sandy beach and clean sea. There is a cafe underneath with soft music in afternoons but now in May it was very quiet (which might not be the case for the summer). I loved sleeping and waking to the sound of nothing but the waves. It was a true blessing. Thank you for having me Elena!

The apartment is in a great location. Walkable to the historic district and many restaurants. Smaller than what it seems in the pictures but comfortable for 2 people. All necessities are supplied. Host was responsive to all questions (even on a Sunday! I sent the non urgent question labeled "for Monday" but got a response on Sunday the day I sent it.). Apartment was very clean. Only two things: parking is not super close (because of the location of the apartment in the historic district) so if you are traveling with a lot of luggage.......be aware that it will not be easy. This is not unique to this apartment but any location in the centro storico. We were going to be traveling a fair amount to adjacent towns on our rental car so we rented a private parking space so there was no hassle finding parking in our return from our expeditions. The other thing is that a few things in the welcoming pamphlet need to be updated. Highly recommended for a 2 person stay in Monopoli.

One of the best Airbnb’s have stayed in. From the minute you walk in through the door and are greeted by the view you feel totally relaxed. Great communication from Josefa - she even managed to work round a mistake I made by booking the wrong dates. The area is so peaceful with a few local bars/restaurants within 2 min walking distance. The main resort of Marsalforn is a 15 minute walk away. The penthouse was impeccably clean and we were greatful of the welcome gift Josefa left. There are so many finishing touches that Josefa puts into this place - the body wash smells divine. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Thankyou Josefa for being such a super host and good luck with your next Airbnb 😊
