Family-friendly vacation rentals in Central Europe

Incredible views. Highly recommend renting a scooter to make commute up and down the hill much easier. 10/10 would stay here again.

Super nice and cozy cottage. Especially the beautiful garden with swimming pool were a huge plus, especially for our energetic sons. The house is quietly located in a beautiful area, yet close enough to everything (car). We greatly enjoyed this beautiful residence with our family.

I recommend this apartment loft! It has beautiful views of Lake Como from the small village of Perledo which is in the mountains above Varenna. The apartment was very clean and spacious for 2 people with lots of amenities. We used the spa and heated pool which was nice. Signing up for a time slot wasn’t a problem as there was lots of availability. I recommend renting a car to drive around unless you wait for the bus and ferry schedules. There isn’t anything within walking distance so have a means of transportation to get to Varenna (10 minutes down the mountain). We had the best time and Andrea was very helpful and informative. If we had any questions we got a quick response. 10/10 recommend!!

Beautiful stay with an amazing view!

Super charming home with absolutely stunning views of Lake Como better seen in person. The amenities were wonderful and the hosts were so very friendly, attentive and helpful. Highly recommend staying here! Also, be sure to book any transportation ahead of time.

We enjoyed the chalet very much. Milena waited for us on arrival and greeted us very kindly with a schnapps. She and Jernej also supported us very well during the stay with tips on activities and questions. The amenities are very good, everything is available, e.g. bed linen and towels - you didn't miss anything. The chalet is beautifully located as a single building in the forest and is therefore pleasantly quiet - only street noises from the nearby road and noises from the heating, which constantly starts, are clearly audible As a starting point for hikes in the beautiful nature, the house is very well located. Highlights for us were the pool and the location in the forest - highly recommended.

Sonia's Airbnb is breathtaking. The view of Lake Como is even more beautiful than the photos in the listing. Sonia is a wonderful host - she provides recommendations, answered all of my questions and always made sure that we had everything we needed. I wished we had explored the lake with her on her sailboat so if you get the opportunity I would book it! The only thing I would advise future renters is that the road to Sonia's Airbnb in Brunate is VERY, VERY narrow and winds around and around. It is very easy to get lost and go down the wrong street. If you're renting car, try to get the smallest car possible - it will help you to maneuver the narrows roads. There is a funicular stop close to the house so you could walk there and take it to Como or to the top of Brunate. It is much easier to get off at the top of Brunate and walk downhill to the house. Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

If you're looking for peace and relaxation, you're in the right place. The chalet is in a peaceful and quiet environment in the middle of nature. The place is decorated with a lot of love for detail and it lacks nothing. Our dog was also warmly welcomed and felt very comfortable. Communication with Markus also went smoothly. He was always available for questions and recommendations

We stayed a week in Francesco's cottage and enjoyed the nature amid olive groves and the tranquility in particular. Verona is easily accessible in 15 minutes by car; Bardolino on Lake Garda is 45 minutes away. You can take great walks and hikes around the house. The house is comfortably furnished/equipped and the view into the valley replaces the TV program. Francesco is very friendly and always available! We will be happy to come back!

Anne's apartment is ... fabulous! She has a great eye for interiors - very boho chic, immaculate and charming. The terrace is gorgeous - stunning white hydrangeas in bloom when we were there. Anne is always in contact to make sure everything is ok and to answer any questions. Location couldn't be better - just by the Ponte Pietra bridge - just a hop into the old town, bars and restaurants. Beds luxurious. Anne is a genius! Can't recommend this place highly enough! Gold Star!

Great place for a few days stopover. Comfortable and clean, convenient common spaces and garden terraces for eating and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and Petra was helpful and caring.

I had the most fantastic stay at the apartment. I booked for a last minute stay and couldn't have been happier with my decision to stay here. It was beautiful, spotlessly clean, quiet and in a fantastic location right by the opera house. The balcony was a real bonus and was a lovely place to sit and eat my breakfast every morning. The hosts were really responsive and extremely helpful. I loved my stay here, was desperately sad to leave and will absolutely love to come back!!

Beautiful little Airbnb! It was very clean , perfect for a weekend getaway.

Very cute and peaceful hut within the mountains. Provides everything one would need for a short getaway. Host is available if needed for questions or suggestions. We’d come back any time!

Antonella welcomed us in a very friendly way and showed us around the apartment. She was always available to us and also gave us many helpful tips for excursions, restaurants and shopping in personal conversations. Antonella has furnished the perfectly restored apartment in a stylish, modern and cozy manner. The kitchen and bathroom amenities are very, very good. It lacks nothing and everything is spotlessly clean. Terrace and garden are well-kept and quiet and offer wonderful views of the village and lake. Albisano is a very pleasant place with restaurants that have simple but good cuisine. One is very close to the apartment. A small shop as well. We felt very comfortable with Antonella and would be happy to come back. Antonella is a very likeable host.

Lovely, rustic apartment with everything you need. The highlight is the terrace with sea views and a grill. The sea is a 5-minute walk away and yet the location of the apartment is quiet and private.

Our family, and especially our kids (ages 17-23), loved Mia's place. Plenty of room for all five of us, a beautiful yard/garden, and fantastic pool that we used multiple times a day. While a little outside of the city center, it was an easy walk to the tram and a quick trip in. Stadium, zoo, cafe, grocery, and a few restaurants are also very close by. Easy check-in, great host communication/responsiveness, and gated driveway parking. Loved the pastries/desserts too - thank you! Could not recommend more.

The pictures of the beautiful chalet did not promise too much. We, 2 couples, felt super comfortable from the 1st minute. There was nothing missing and the natural pool was the absolute blast, which refreshed us after our bike tours. We would book this place again anytime! Thank you! - Annette, Martin, Micha + Kerstin

Best way to describe this location is STUNNING! The views are breath taking - more beautiful in person than the photos! We loved our stay - hard to beat having morning coffee & evening wine surrounded by such beauty! The night view when the lights appear is as beautiful as the day view! A car was necessary but well worth it. David was a very responsive and helpful host & we would definitely stay again if we have that opportunity!

I’ve just looked back at my 30 or so airb&b bookings and by far this is the nicest and best value booking I have ever had. High quality fixtures, furniture, design and amenities. I have nothing negative to say about the accommodation or Tanja who was a dream to deal with. A beautiful property with outstanding gardens, views and a perfect pool to share. We had great weather which made the outdoor living area just about perfect. Very classy in every way. You need a car to explore which is kind of pointing out the obvious.

We feel lucky to have stayed at this house—the views really are just as stunning as they are in the pictures. Boža and Dušan were very welcoming and we had everything we needed to really settle in for a few nights—the kitchen, for example, was very well furnished with all sorts of practical implements for real cooking (i.e. not just a few dull knives and a single ladle rattling around in otherwise empty drawers). We really appreciated the house's easy access to Italy, Austria, and of course the rest of northwestern Slovenia—it offers a great combination of dramatic mountain views and easy road access (so no daredevil driving up and down steep and rocky rural roads every time you want to get some groceries). I'm sure the house is lovely in all seasons, but it was especially enjoyable to take a dip in the jacuzzi with an overnight frost settling in and then cozy up by the fireplace inside.

The stay was great. From the accommodation, the view of the lake is fantastic and the pool location is very neat.

We had a great weekend and would be happy to come back!!!! Regards

The house conforms to the description in every respect. It is very pleasant, very comfortable, very quiet while being close to all amenities. We enjoyed the barbecue, heated pool, sauna and beautiful garden (and the singing of many birds!)
