Vacation rentals with lake access in Mediterranean Sea

We loved our stay in Besse-sur-Issole. It was the perfect spot during our trip—peaceful, charming, and full of local character. The Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and in a great location for walking everywhere. One of the best parts? The croissant from the local boulangerie—hands down the best we’ve had so far in southern France. We really enjoyed walking into the village square each morning, grabbing coffee, and popping into the little shops and restaurants. Everyone was friendly, and the vibe was relaxed and authentic. A great stop if you’re looking to enjoy a quieter side of Provence. We took multiple day trips, super easy from this cozy retreat. The Gorge du Verdon is a must. We had fun visiting Canne, Antibes and Nice. Great day trips, best was coming back to Besse. Thank you Helene and Roxane. We loved Berg….❤️. Thank you!!

This place is amazing! It was a competely unique experience staying in Anna's place. The private garden up the hill afforded gorgeous views of the historic tower and town that turned magical at night when everything was lit up. When we explored the town at night, we felt like we had gone back in time. There were motion sensor lights on the stairs to and from the garden so that we could easily and safely see our way. We had the historic part of the nicely lit up town at night to ourselves, adding to the atmosphere. Civitella D'agliano was our favourite of the many towns that we explored in the area. It is a genuine and evocative beauty, not marred by masses of tourists or souvenir shops. Anna and her English speaking friend, met our car to show us where to park, and showed us everything in the apartment and garden in detail. Anna gave us many delicious snacks and an apple cake. She also arranged a reservation at a local restaurant that was memorable. Stay here. You will never forget it!

Andreas place is great. Extremely clean and tidy. Had everything we needed for our stay in lake como. The view is stunning. It’s also in a good location. Great host, very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend. Only thing to note is dervio is a 15/20min walk for the nearest trains and busses which we didn’t mind as enjoy walking.

Beautiful! Charming! You can see all the love the owner put into making it a magical place. Thank you.

Hostess is a really nice person. We couldn't speak English but it made this more interesting proving that people can understand each other with smiles and gestures. :) We had big space, fantastic Skoder lake view and feeling of privacy. Very recommended place, especially with children as hostess offers her garden to eat fruits (cherries were fantastic). Aldis thanks for breakfast. Our family will have the best memories about this place.

Experience the most authentic rural life in South France.Beautiful stone house, beautiful lake view, even if you take a wrong turn to the lake, it is a beautiful trip.The room is very clean and cozy.The Host's wife and husband are very kind people, and they will give you a lot of privacy.The most special thing is the two hunting dogs, I want to take them home ∠ (｀ω´*).

Amazing and very clean waterfront apartment. Google maps don’t show accurate directions so I recommend using Apple Maps, our host was very helpful to get us to the right address. The boat station (that you take to go everywhere) is only a few min away, the area is very safe, walkable and has lots of cool spots nearby - cafes, shops, everything. Kitchen is well stocked with high quality pots, dishes and supplies. Hot shower, and washing machine were very nice.

The view was even better than the photos could portray! Serene, cozy, and the perfect place to explore the surrounding area. Our daughter loved the animals and we would return in a heartbeat. Definitely need a car to access and it’s certainly rustic, but it has everything you could need and the charm of this place is second to none. Grazie!

We stayed 6 nights in Claudia’s beautiful Venice apartment and felt right at home. It was stylish and spacious and set in a perfect quiet location close to one of the main walkways. Loved being on a canal! The bed was comfortable and found it a place to relax from the busy city. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stay - an absolute gem.

This place is amazing! The quiet nights on the patio, or walking down to the lake to enjoy the lights in the castle with evening setting on Lake Como were so wonderfully relaxing. I would recommend to anyone wanting to escape the insanity of Varenna. Other pluses. Town parking pass for Dervio. Amazing breakfast waiting for the ferry there, full kitchen for spectacular sunset meals with the best view of the lake!

We loved this apartment. The view from the balcony is wonderful - we spent hours watching all the activities and wildlife on and around the lake. The apartment was just as listed, spotless, comfortable, with everything you could need... such a great place to stay - wish we could have stayed longer!

Benedetta was a wonderful host, and very helpful providing clear instructions and helpful suggestions. We loved the location of her beautiful and well-equipped apartment, close to restaurants and the waterfront walkway as well as on the edge of the famous Villa Balbianello! There was a lovely serenity in the space after the bustle of busier towns around Como, and we appreciated the opportunity to let in the fresh air and relax in the lovely space!

Our stay was very comfortable and Alexa was super-helpful in terms of offering assistance and providing recommendations. Highly recommend this place for families.

Stunning views from our balcony and such great hosts, always responsive and allowed us to drop our bags earlier so we could enjoy our short time in Como. The apartment is located on the 5th floor right on the lake so the balcony is the perfect place for a glass of wine or a coffee. We also had a delicious pizza in a local restaurant recommended by our hosts.

Very good location inside of Plitvice Lake area, very quiet with only few tourists and village people.

Last minute organization, I thank Thierry for his responsiveness 🙏🏼 The stay was extremely pleasant, the setting is beautiful. Perfect for getting together. Thank you so much

We loved the place! Awesome scenery, beautiful house, quiet and great energy.

We were warmly greeted by Alain and Clair on arrival – they couldn’t have been more welcoming, and their kindness really set the tone for our stay. The setting was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, a real escape from the hustle and bustle. The highlight for us was sitting and looking out at the river and waterfall right next to the property – the view was stunning and the sound of the water was so soothing. We left feeling completely relaxed and recharged. Highly recommended!

wonderful place, cozy, they make you want to stay, clean and very well equipped facilities, perfect for rest and the host Gonzalo is very nice and attentive at all times, we would definitely come back.

We had a lovely stay at Brankas cute little Beach House! Super beautiful surrounding, nice view and dreamy sunsets. Branka was super nice and helpful. She and her parents were always available in case of questions or problems. Thank you Mama Branka, Papa Branka and of course thanks to you Branka for your hospitality!!!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful nature bubble! The cottage is very nice, over-equipped and tastefully decorated!! The welcome was also very friendly, we already want to go back 😊

Thank you it was amazing and peaceful!

Beautiful cottage, fully equipped, very comfortable in a beautiful setting in nature. Perfect place to disconnect and experience the wonderful surroundings. Very friendly and accommodating hosts.

Sara was a great host. she took the time to meet us at checkin to welcome us and walk us through the property and give us local recommendations. the property has breathtaking views and great location for a peaceful vacation. Bellagio was our favorite town around Como lake.
