Cottage vacation rentals in Northeast Italy

The place is truly beautiful and amazing, especially the terrace. It’s perfect for a BBQ. The place also has literally everything you need and is very clean. The view is stunning! The sauna and jacuzzi helped us relax after a long day. And when we first arrived, there were strawberries and wine waiting for us. Thank you so much for this awesome experience :)

Davide and Annalisa's cottage was absolutely gorgeous, exactly as the pictures showed. It was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy our last week in Italy. Breakfast out on the patio with the birds chirping and surrounded by nature was a great way to start the day. Davide lit the heater for the hot tub for us and we were able to enjoy a wonderful evening relaxing. Davide and Annalisa were full of good recommendations for restaurants and local places to visit. The cottage is within driving distance of so much - Pisa, Florence, Siena and of course San Gimignano just to name a few. All the amenities we needed were included, the WIFI was great and the cottage was very comfortable. I would highly recommended staying here and if we are ever in the vicinity we would certainly stay here again.

If I could move in here permanently, I would. What a gorgeous stay with responsive and respectful hosts. Everything was as described, the hot tub was glorious, and we loved looking through the binder of photos of painstaking restoration over the years.

It was such a beautiful setting to be among the vineyards and my son loved visiting the farms birds and jumping on the trampoline. The accommodations were beautiful and the hosts were so lovely very welcoming and gave excellent recommendations about the local sites. We had their wine and their farm fresh breakfast we highly recommend it ! We had a wonderful stay and hope to visit again one day.

Sara and Brian are truly amazing hosts—proactive, kind, and fascinating to talk to. Their home is enchanting, like stepping into a real fairytale. You can feel how much love and care they’ve poured into every detail. It’s one of the most spectacular places we’ve ever stayed in! Not only is the house and the garden magical, but it’s also so practical and thoughtfully equipped, providing everything you could think of to make your stay comfortable. The gym was fantastic, and the house had plenty of space for two families. Even with 2 adults and 4 “monkeys” (our energetic kids), there was room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and celebrating New Year’s Eve with fireworks lighting up the entire region was an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Sara and Brian, for sharing your incredible home with us. We can’t wait to return!!!

We had a fantastic time staying in Dervio at Francesco’s place and exploring the towns surrounding lake Como. The place is perfect for so many reasons, the location is great, right on a small beach with amazing views and a walking path that takes you into town. It’s a short 7 minute walk from the train station and 10 minutes to downtown area with restaurants. There are tons of old walkways that allow you to explore the area. We spent a couple days taking the train and ferry to Bellano, Veranna, and Bellagio (very happy to be in Dervio). We also have two small kids and found the place was great for families with crib, beds with guard rails, and a high chair, along with a playground that just out the front door. The gates were excellent for preventing kids from going to the road or to the lake. The best part was Francesco and his family, they are very warm and welcoming! We spent time with him, his father, aunt, and cousin and very much enjoyed getting to know them!

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.

Superbe séjour dans cette petite maison à flan de falaise. Vue incroyable avec une grande terrasse face a la mer. La description et les photos du logement sont conformes à la réalité. Très belle expérience.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in Monicas Ferienhaus! Zehn Tage voller Ruhe, Natur und einem Ausblick, der einfach nur begeistert. Das Häuschen ist einfach, aber mit viel Liebe eingerichtet – genau so, wie wir es mögen. Wir haben das angenehme Klima im Haus sehr geschätzt und besonders die Abende mit dem Käuzchen, das uns mit seinem Ruf in den Schlaf begleitet hat, waren magisch. Unsere Hündin hat sich ebenso wohlgefühlt wie wir. Brenzone selbst ist traumhaft schön – im Frühling angenehm ruhig, mit charmanten Orten und tollen Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge. Der Weg zum Haus ist steil, aber Monica und ihre liebe Familie haben uns so herzlich empfangen und beim Gepäck geholfen, dass wir uns sofort gut aufgehoben fühlten. Ein Ort zum Durchatmen, Ankommen und Loslassen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Truly gorgeous accommodation. We were greeted by Eleonora's mother. As we were were travelling from other city in Italy we arrived early and she was happy to allow us to start our stay. There was a folder provided with all the important details, but this beautiful lady also explained everything else including her favourite places to visit, nearest bus stops and all the other little things that are useful. We were also advised that there was a chance of both a visiting cat (which sadly we hardly saw) and her large dog, similar to a Huskie. The latter visited just the once and was an adorable, a big cuddly softie. The only one very small negative was that the water tank was quite small so the showers had to be taken quickly, before washing the breakfast pots or coping with the cold water! Again we were warned! The accommodation was comfortable and totally private with a secure parking place. A very peaceful nights sleep. Everything we needed was supplied. Great value.

Francesca and her kind family have created a once-in-a-lifetime, soul-grounding experience in this beautifully restored 14th-century hillside retreat in Portovenere. We loved every minute of our six-night stay. From the mind-blowing views and steep, invigorating hikes to romantic evenings sipping homemade, earthy concoctions thoughtfully left for us—it was pure magic. We were welcomed with fragrant bundles of fresh lemons, rosemary, sage, and thyme, a gesture that set the tone for the care and warmth we felt throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making our rest as memorable as our adventures. We especially loved our daily rocky hike down to the charming village, and one day we even rented a dinghy to explore the surrounding islands—an unforgettable way to soak in the coastal beauty. This place is beyond gorgeous—truly a slice of heaven.

Als erstes ist hervorzuheben, dass Fabio ein ganz wunderbarer, zuvorkommender und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber ist. Das Haus ist liebevoll und stilvoll eingerichtet. Das Dorf liegt inmitten der Berge der Garfagnana und zusammen mit seiner Umgebung ist es eine Oase der Ruhe. Von Bagni di Lucca aus, führt eine 7 Km lange enge, kurvenreiche Straße nach Lugnano- Monti di Villa. Auf der Strecke passiert man noch 2 weitere kleine Dörfer. Eines davon ist Granaiola, wo man bei Laura superlecker essen kann. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder :-) Anne und Helga

Das Haus ist ruhig und malerisch gelegen und hat einen wundervollen alten Charme. Die Umgebung des Hauses ist sehr schön und die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und nett.

Tavaly voltunk Annanmáriánál, már akkor tudtuk, hogy ha ismét erre a környékre jövünk, csak itt szállunk meg. Nagyon tiszta, rendezett, csendes környezetben található a szállás, a környéken rengeteg látnivaló van, Annamária és a családja nagyon kedves, mindenkinek szeretettel ajánlom ezt a szállást!

Un séjour très agréable dans un environnement verdoyant et très paisible ! Marco et Maria nous ont tout de suite permis de nous sentir comme à la maison. Le logement était parfaitement équipé. D'ailleurs, il nous a semblé bien plus grand que ce que nous avions imaginé avec les photos ! Nous recommandons sans aucune hésitation !

We spent 10 days at Pieros lovely chapel cottage in Gaiole in Chianti with our small family of two adults and a small baby. The cottage had all the amenities one would need when traveling with a baby! The cottage was really peaceful and quiet, and it had a small private garden to enjoy those lazy mornings in the countryside. The location was great for making small daytrips to sights and wineries around Tuscany. The inside of the house was really cute and the house had a unique atmosphere, but we found some parts of the kitchen and bathroom slightly untidy. Communication with Piero and Ivana worked really well - both were friendly and ready to help at all times. Special thanks to Ivana for making our very late check-in possible! I would definitely recommend Piero’s cottage! Great value for money.

We had an unforgettable stay at Villa degli Ulivi in Bonassola. Paolo was an incredibly kind, communicative, and helpful host—his warmth and attentiveness made our experience even more memorable. This place is truly a hidden gem. The listing doesn’t fully capture the charm, character, and breathtaking beauty of the villa and its surroundings. Staying in an apartment within a 100-year-old family villa is a unique and memorable experience, full of history and authenticity. The property is filled with thoughtful amenities, and the views are simply stunning—especially from the balcony, where we enjoyed evening drinks while watching the sun set over the bay and town below. The whole place has such a peaceful, magical feel to it. We already hope to return one day. Thank you, Paolo, for sharing this special spot with us. If you’re considering booking this place—do it. You won’t regret it.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt im Ferienhaus. Das Haus ist in Wirklichkeit noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Die Gegend und die Lage sind großartig und die Gastgeberin ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit! Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Danke für alles Aloisa!

We hadden een fantastisch verblijf in Daniele's woning in Pavullo nel Frignano. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, zorgde Daniele ervoor dat we ons welkom en thuis voelden. Bij het warme ontvangst hoorde ook lokale lekkernijen, een paar producten in de koelkast en een fles heerlijke Lambrusco. Het huis was perfect: schoon, goed onderhouden en voorzien van alle gemakken die we nodig hadden. De tuin was prachtig en bood een heerlijke plek om te ontspannen. De locatie was ook ideaal, met gemakkelijke toegang tot de bezienswaardigheden in de omgeving. We hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf en kunnen Daniele's woning ten zeerste aanbevelen aan iedereen die op zoek is naar een geweldige plek om te verblijven. Bedankt, Daniele, voor je geweldige gastvrijheid en goede zorgen!

Das AirBnB ist ein absolutes Highlight! Von der Lage, über die detaillierten Aufmerksamkeiten in der Wohnung bis zur Kommunikation mit Gianni und seiner Frau. Der Weg vom Parkplatz zum Auto ist etwas herausfordernd, aber sehr gut machbar. Zum Strand braucht man ca. 20 min zu Fuß (nur Treppen, eignet sich super als Workout!)

Wunderbares kleines Häuschen, perfekt ausgestattet, tolle Lage gleich am Meer, mehrere feine Plätze zum Sitzen, Essen, Lesen.... herrlicher Blick aufs Meer, schöne Bademöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Bei schönem Wetter ist fast nichts Schöneres vorstellbar! Bei Regen ist die, nur von der Terrasse zugängliche Küche etwas unpraktisch und umständlich!

The place was just as described, and more. (Beautiful view on the surrounding hills) The swimming pool was very clean and a nice refreshment from the heat. The host’s pets are undeniably a huge plus - they were cuddly and very friendly and made us miss our pets at home a little bit less.

Alessandra made us feel at home. She even helped celebrate my birthday with a nice package of chocolates. Alessandra sent us several restaurants and even a map of a bike race going through town. If we had any questions, Alessandra was ready to help. This is a place that we would like to come back to in the future. Thanks, Alessandra, for a nice stay. :) Phyllis
