Family-friendly vacation rentals in Northern Europe

We had a wonderful time. The place was exactly as described and Theodoris was very responsive to our questions. He also arranged to have someone take our luggage to and from the place, which in Santorini that is a huge bonus!! I can’t forget the wine from his family’s vineyard he provided! The location is great as well!!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The place is idyllic and perfect for two families who want to relax and enjoy nature. We used both boats and kayaks, and the kids were thrilled to see crabs - extra nice that the host took the time to show them. The evenings were spent around the campfire and in the jacuzzi – a perfect end to nice days. Everything was clean, well organized and incredibly cozy. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature and tranquility. We will definitely be back - thank you so much!

This estate is a dream—life changing in all the best ways. From the jasmine-scented gardens and sweeping views of Siena to the beautifully restored guest suites—personally designed by Andrea, an architect and true artist—every detail felt magical. He greeted us so warmly, spent generous time sharing the estate’s history, and even gifted us a bottle of his family’s wine—which was absolutely lovely and made us feel truly welcome. The plunge pool was a refreshing retreat, and the setting was pure tranquility: birdsong, rustling leaves, and golden Tuscan sunsets. Andrea gave us a wonderful tour and shared the story behind his family’s efforts to preserve this incredible place. We adored the gentle Maremma dogs, Fiora and her puppy, Pecorino, who made us feel right at home. We were so impressed with this stay and Andrea’s efforts to preserve this very special place. Every moment here felt like a scene from a film—elegant, peaceful, and filled with soul. We can’t wait to return.

One of the most peaceful and beautiful places I've ever stayed at! Very easy to check in and felt so cosy and comfortable right away. The best part was the picturesque view of the horses right out the window and how private the house felt even being next door to other guests. Definitely would stay here again - hopefully for longer next time!

Highly recommend this sweet little farm in a peaceful village. We loved the sheep and lambs and even got to watch a little one be born! Instructions on yurt temperature management, wood stove and wood fired hot tub were clear and easy. We borrowed bikes and rode through the tulip fields to the beach. Such a nice family and surroundings after the bustle of Amsterdam!

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here!! It was just what we needed during our 6 day road trip around Ireland! The jacuzzi was a huge plus for us! We would definitely return if we’re ever back in Ireland!!

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. We really appreciated the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The jacuzzi was lovely! The hosts were great at providing us with all the information we needed for a stress free check in/out and a perfect stay. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mini break. Peacocks were a lovely surprise seeing them walk around the estate. Thanks again!

We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing home in Oia! Laskarina was a fantastic host who communicated very well and provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and tours. The house is beautiful with stunning views, and the location could not be better, right on the main street surrounded by restaurants and charming stores. Despite being in the heart of all the activity, the home felt completely private. The hot tub is private as well and offers an incredible view. The balcony is spacious and the perfect spot to sit and take in the scenery. The home is a short walk to the blue domes picture spot as well as the sunset spots. Highly recommend staying here!

I enjoyed my stay very much. Riccardo and his family where lovely and helpful with everything. After two days the Family left and the co-hosts Ryan and Emmie moved in below. Also both very lovely! Thank you all for the great time <3 Ps: It was firefly season during my stay: magical!

We had a wonderful stay with a fantastic view – just as we had imagined: Enjoy the evening with cheese, wine and a game and look into the distance. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped and the entire accommodation very modern, well thought-out and technically well-equipped. We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable right away. Would come back anytime!

One of the most unique, homey and wonderful places on earth. Found Pitigliano with a little research and glad we did - make sure you make your way to Saturnia for the thermal pools as well. Was a little caught off guard with no WiFi for international travel but had WiFi at the cafe upstairs!

Great cabin in amazing landscape, we had a really good time!

Ok, so many people mention the flights of stairs. so, ignoring that. the property is very quiet given it is in the heart of old town Palermo. Air con is effective, the property is smart/chic, the location is amazingly central with short walks to major sightseeing areas. We sat on terraced an soaked in the sun, the sounds and watched the Swifts soaring. Antonio was flexible and helpful. you should also take note of he's house recommendations for all local amenities... excellent. Grazie Antonio.

Everything was perfect. Will come again. Location, host, accommodation, and overall experience - all 10 out of 10.

What a wonderful place to stay and very informative communication. The bed was comfortable and the shower set up was great. Best shower in a rental ever. Lucas and Greg had many good suggestions on places to eat, visit and explore in the reference book at the house. The suggested drive around Croghy head was pleasure. We wouldn’t have known to do that without their suggestion. We arrived to find a bottle of Champagne (sparkling wine technically) nice chocolates which we ate over the course of our 8 day stay and shortbread cookies which I munched on each morning with my coffee. The instructions provided were crystal clear. This is a great place to stay to explore Donegal and surrounding county’s. A+👍🤗

We were travelling around Sardinia on a road trip and this was our last stop. Super clear instructions sent before arrival meant check in was no problem. They also helped book prior to our stay a boat trip which I would recommend to anyone - great value for money and well organised. When we arrived we met Tony who owns the property, he was incredibly nice and gave us food and beach recommendations. The location is brilliant and you cannot beat sitting on the balcony with a coffee. Would love to visit again. Thank you for doing such a good job!

Wonderful place for a family and to recharge in our busy trip to Italy. Sign up for the farm to table experience when you stay. The hosts could not have been more helpful and wonderful. Beautiful property and accommodation.

A lovely place to stay for the weekend. Beautiful caravan, with all the amenities. Incredible view of the sea to wake up to, wish we could have stayed longer! Julie was very responsive to messages and allowed us to have a later check out time. Thanks for enabling us to have an incredible weekend!

This was an incredible and relaxing getaway—we honestly wish we had stayed longer. The tower is just as magical as the photos, and the views, olive grove, and pool were even better than expected. The surrounding town is darling and quiet, with just a couple of small restaurants and markets, which made it feel like a true escape. Luca was kind and responsive throughout our stay. Just a few things to note: there are a lot of stairs, and you’ll want a smaller car to navigate the narrow roads leading up to the tower. It’s a real castle, so it’s older and rustic—but full of charm and clearly loved. The only downside was that the hot tub on the roof no longer works, which was a bit of a letdown. Still, we absolutely loved our time here and would highly recommend it.

We absolutely loved our stay at Patricia’s home. She was responsive, helpful and the best host for our time in Douro. Would absolutely recommend her beautiful home for a relaxing getaway.

Authentic Tuscan countryside experience, with amazing views and excellent facilities. Well located if you want to explore all that Tuscany has to offer.

Super nicely located accommodation with great view of the Douro. Beautiful little winery with personal tours. Only the kitchen needed some upgrades, especially the dull knives.

No better location in Santorini! Absolute best view (although because of this many people stop in front of the location to take photos…) and quiet compared to the craziness of Oia’s streets during the day.

Raquel is one of the most communicative and responsive hosts I’ve ever interacted with on Airbnb. The location of this home is unbelievable. I fell in love with Albufeira from the first few hours i was there, and couldn’t believe how well-situated this place was to all the fun the area has to offer. ACs and most amenities worked well. I’m not sure if it’s a design related to homes in that area, but the open bathroom in the master bedroom, including the shower design, seemed impractical. I needed to rearrange items in that area, and wipe the floor/toilet after every shower. The iron was unusable due to a stain on the ironing surface, and risk of damaging clothes. The washing machine was small and not very effective. We needed to do a lot of loads to clean our clothes, then air dry them, but glad we had a washer! Overall, this is a great place, Raquel’s a great host, and i recommend booking, for anyone visiting Albufeira. Great for 2 ppl, but could accommodate a couple more too. Enjoy!
