Vacation rentals with a patio in Southern Europe

Manolis was very friendly and welcoming—he welcomed us in person, gave us a bottle of wine and water as a welcome. His place is beautiful looking out toward the east of the island with a gorgeous view and lovely jacuzzi. It was a beautiful and modern location to stay. The location is in Pyrgos Kallistis, a quieter village high up on Thira (Santorini) island with panoramic views of the island. About a ten minute walk into town where there are many delicious cafes and restaurants as well as the bus stop to get into more touristy parts of the island. I would recommend renting a vehicle if staying here as the bus is relatively infrequent and unreliable. All in all a wonderful stay thanks to a beautiful location and hospitable host!

Excellent communication from the hosts, even organising a taxi pick-up from the airport. Lovely balcony with stunning views across the bay. Great hosts and great location for exploring the locale.

Maria’s home was a beautiful retreat from the noise of the city. It has an amazing view of the lake that beckons you to spend hours just looking at the horizon. The unit was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Highly recommended this location for a small family who wants to cook and spend some quiet time together.

Beautiful scenery, very quiet, very suitable for travelers who want to rest, the owner is also very kind and friendly, helped us use the washing machine and dryer, thank you very much🙏

Incredible! The accommodation is true to the photos, everything is there! It was extremely clean and super well-equipped. Special mention for the jacuzzi (and bathrobes provided), the small touches (champagne and chocolate) and the cinema screen. Mickael was friendly and welcoming and we felt very good! Quiet, and easy to find and easy to park. No complaints, we'll be back!

You couldn't get a better location for this apartment, and the terrace looking out to the cathedral etc was amazing. A bit hot for us English with 45 degree temperatures at times though! Air conditioning was well appreciated , and the lovely ceiling fans. Apartment was clean and well looked after. Would definitely come again.

Beautiful, modern, and spacious. One of the best Airbnb's we've ever experienced and that includes both this awesome apartment and Paula, who was a wonderful host. Paula communicated continuously and provided a lot of great local information to enhance our experience. Paula responded quickly to any inquiry with excellent, detailed suggestions and directions. We loved the welcome snacks, water, and beer, which was really appreciated as we entered the apartment. Great place to stay and HIGHLY recommended!

We visited for 5 days and never ran out of things to do, places to see or excellent restaurants. The views are out of this world too. We had a rental car but the train station is fairly close and depending on your situation, walkable. If you do drive, we always had parking right at the front door. The description is very accurate and we felt right at home. We had everything and more including lots of Swiss Chocolates! Maegi was very helpful even going above and beyond to help us when needed. I can't say enough and if our travels land us back in that area we will try to book with Maegi again!

If you want to stay in Tanger in total luxury then this is the airbnb for you!!! The Riad was so beautiful, it blew all of us away. The pictures don't do it justice and it was so hard to leave this place. If 10 stars could be given I would. Alex the host was so responsive and helpful. Bilal his assistant took care of us like royalty and had all meals, transportation and activities arranged. The food was to die for and honestly the best moroccan tea we had! Everything was clean, tidy and organized. The housekeepers did an excellent job. BEST AIRBNB EVER!!!!!

The greenhouse was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Perfect accommodation for an idyllic location. The hot tub was incredible.

Our stay here was the highlight of our trip…the home is beautifully furnished and carefully curated, bringing together old and new seamlessly, whilst keeping glimpses of the ancient stone walls. We could have stayed for weeks and would have felt right at home. We loved the location from the sunsets across the hills, seeing the ocean in the distance and walking through the stunning landscape. The town of Scicli was one our favorites in our whole trip around Scicily, and the local town Donnalucata, had a great supermarket, restaurant and beach. The host sent through many helpful instructions on check in that made our trip so enjoyable and easy. Thank you Nick and Stephanie for a truly memorable stay and one we won’t forget!!!

We had a lovely stay here! We did a lot of cooking and the facilities were perfect for that. Great breakfast provided by the host and very friendly to deal with. We will be back!

Had a lovely peaceful stay and the apartment was really clean and had everything we needed. Oliver and Arran were very attentive hosts and everything was well planned out with recommendations and helpful info. You do ideally need to hire a car if flying to Lisbon which the hosts will also help with recommendations. Thanks so much for a lovely retreat x

This home is in an outstanding location overlooking the lake and Lugano. We were blown away by the view from every window. The location was very peaceful, and the home was extremely well-stocked. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony or the covered deck every day (depending on how hot it was!). The home is located a quick drive to downtown Lugano, and a short drive to the top of Monte Bre (highly recommend!) and to Gandria (also highly recommend). We fell in love with Lugano and the surrounding area thanks in part to this house…we will definitely be back.

Mehdi is very kind. The cottage is beautiful and with all the necessities available. The decor is very neat. Mehdi takes care of his guests with nice touches and good advice (small grocery store, book explaining the cottage and what to do in the surroundings, etc.)

I know there's a tendency for everyone to give 5 star reviews for everything, but this place really is 5 stars. It is off the beaten track, meaning it's super quiet and relaxed. The gardens are truly magical fabulous for sunbathing, reading a book, plant photography, it's the most relaxing place I've been to. Everything really is as described. A huge private indoor space for rainy days (or if it's just a bit too hot) as well as a private covered courtyard for meals. The gardens really set it apart though: well maintained, huge variety, well planned and thought through. While I would recommend a car to get to/from and around, we didn't use it that much because we were so comfortable in the accomodation. We arrived late, and they had left a really nice welcome of food and wine so we didn't need to rush about finding something for dinner or breakfast. The hosts provided a large collection of recommendations of local amenities to try. The Mirador San Pedro (walking distance) is great!

We loved our stay in this apartment. The view was beautiful and the design of the apartment was well thought out and felt very authentic. The little touches like recessed lighting, electric shutters, fans, aircon, and antique furniture were much appreciated and elevated our stay — we found it very well suited to short term stays. In general, it would have been nice if there was slightly more upkeep/ freshening up of the place (particularly in the kitchen) but that was our only real gripe. Similarly, the furniture, despite being pretty, was not very functional, especially in the twin room and kitchen (which could benefit from a little revamp and restock of supplies like more cooking apparatus and better washing up facilities). But as we were only there for 3 days, it didn’t bother us much and instead we ate out for every meal. Overall, I would definitely recommend this apartment. Great location, authentic design, responsive host and beautiful views.

This was truly one of the most unique and inspiring stays we’ve experienced. Bianca’s warm hospitality and thoughtful communication made us feel right at home. The farmhouse itself was incredibly comfortable—cozy, well-appointed, and full of charm. And the scenery? Absolutely breathtaking. Every view felt like a painting.

An absolutely fantastic stay! The accommodation was exceptional – stylish, clean and perfectly equipped. The absolute highlight was the outstanding roof terrace with a fantastic view over Tirana – simply unforgettable! The contact was super fast and helpful – we got great tips for restaurants and excursions. The check-in was also totally flexible and straightforward. We would come back anytime – a clear recommendation

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was perfect- feels safe, is walkable to the major sights, and also has tons of bars, restaurants, and shopping right outside the door. The unit was very clean (including the hot tub) and there was an AC unit in every room and was very strong, which was great! I would definitely recommend this property.

It's so, so good, but a little expensive. Grindelwald Terminal (Jungfrau) was 2-3 minutes on foot. It was too much. The wind was overwhelming. It 👍👍👍👍was so good :) I think I'll go again next time. ^_^

This place was amazing even better than pictures, walking distance to everything, especially handy with the escalators nearby. Emer responded to all enquiries very promptly, restaurant recommendations were great, Emer also organised a rmtaxi to the railway station upon departure. This airbnb has to be one of the bestcwe have stayed in so quiet with a beautiful outlook and very good value.

This was one of the most incredible apartments that I've ever stayed at. The view was unreal and the location and cleanliness was fabulous. We got some wonderful recommendations for food in the area and communication was great!

Staying in Merlin's "dream home" was just amazing and deserves the full score - a real insider tip! The accommodation is not only stylish, but also furnished with a lot of love for detail. The ambiance is absolutely unique! I was particularly impressed by the high-quality amenities: a modern, fully equipped kitchen, a walk-in shower with rain shower and the open and spacious interior design are unique. The absolute highlight was of course the private hot tub on the roof terrace – perfect for relaxing and simply enjoying. A big thank you to Merlin, the host – super friendly, attentive and always available. You immediately notice that he cares about the well-being of his guests. I felt completely comfortable and will definitely be back!
