Windmill vacation rentals in Western Europe

We loved our stay at the Windmill. When we arrived both Mary and Madgalina greeted us, walking through all the amenities and property, then sat with us providing maps and great recommendations. The property is so peaceful with beautiful views of the sea and town below. We loved relaxing and enjoying. The fridge was fully stocked. Complimentary wine, water, juice, coffee, milk, local cheeses, meats, tomatoes, melon, oranges, jams, honey, pastries, bread,. We were able to make breakfast and pack a cooler to take to the beach for light lunch. We walked around Ano syros enjoying drinks and a great dinner. They also helped us secure a car rental which was brought up to the windmill for us. So helpful. Waking up in the windmill with fresh breezes and a window looking out to the sea was so charming and delightful. This was such a unique and incredible stay for us on our two week trip. Syros is a great locals island and staying at the windmill brough us such happiness

Our stay was great. Not only the quiet, yet central location convinced us, but also the outstanding hospitality. Since we were the only guests, we were able to use the entire facility. Dimitris gave us very good tips for activities and restaurants and was immediately available when there was a small problem. The farewell gift we received on the day of departure was a touching surprise. We felt very comfortable and can fully recommend this apartment.

The hosts were super responsive, indicating places to go and things to do. The environment was clean, pleasant as well as the previous comments. I highly recommend it.

We had a magical stay at this beautifully converted windmill (Green) in Santorini. From the moment we booked, our host was incredibly responsive and helpful—organising transfers, offering local recommendations, and making sure we had everything we needed. The windmill itself is like something out of a storybook. With its curved kitchen, winding staircases, and thoughtful artistic touches, it felt both whimsical and welcoming. Every detail made us feel right at home. The shaded outdoor seating area and the pool were perfect retreats from the midday sun—ideal spots to relax and recharge. While the nearby road can be a bit busy, the thick shutters did a great job of blocking out light and noise, allowing us to sleep deeply in the very comfortable beds. Having a car is a must if you want to explore the island, as you’d otherwise be quite isolated. But for those looking for peace, charm, and a unique place to stay, this windmill is a truly special find.

Rik and Henrike are great hosts, always very keen to keep their guests happy. Thanks a lot! Lovely place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay! The place is quiet, cozy, and beautifully kept — perfect for relaxing after a long day. I was warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The hosts were incredibly kind and thoughtful, offering delicious homemade treats that made my stay even more special. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. I would definitely love to come back!

One of the best holidays 4 of us have had and this was a big part of it. Massive thank you to Alex and Akis who run the place and made the holiday better. Property was so clean and we got a daily clean of the apartment with sheets and towels which we didn’t expect. Pool area is amazing with unreal scenery and so clean with a great restaurant area to match where you can get really affordable food and drinks made to order. Every place we need to go to was a short drive away. Can’t recommended this place enough and thanks for the memories. Will be going back for sure!

We spent four days in this beautifully converted windmill right by the port of Praia. The village center, the beach and the supermarket are only a short walk away. The port installations with their industrial charm spoil the otherwise beautiful location a bit, but it‘s quiet regardless. The views of the mountains are fantastic, as is the experience of living in an old windmill. The kitchenette is small and not the most practical, but caters to basic needs. Capsule coffee maker, microwave and oven are provided. The beds in both bedrooms were super comfy. It can get cool, but there are electric radiators in both bedrooms. The living room (a few easily manageable stairs) feels a bit like a museum with old appliances around. A narrow spiral staircase (odd angle) leads to the top bedroom, the highlight of the windmill! The terrace is great, but lounge chairs and a proper table would have been welcome. João is a great host, very helpful and always available. We loved our stay!

What a remarkable place to stay! We have for a long time wanted to stay in an old windmill and staying in Annettes beautiful house truly met our expectations. We can only recommend this.

The location and the views cannot be beat. To see the sun dip into the ocean from the hot tub was blissful. We did nothing but hang out in the tub everyday for sunset and then walked around for dinner. Would love to visit again. Jason, the manager, is great. He carried our bags in and made us breakfast everyday. He gave us great recommendation and helped us plan our stay. I recommend reaching out to them before planning your time in Santorini. Will recommend this place to friends and family and would love to visit again!

We had a great time at the Bel Air mill. We quickly felt very good, the spaces are large and the possibilities are numerous. The table tennis table is a real plus. Estelle is a lovely and very accommodating hostess. She took the time to tell us the story of the mill by organizing a tour to the top of the tower. Very interesting! Thank you

A beautiful location - peaceful and with wonderful views. A stunning windmill rennovation, with a delightful terrace overlooking the sea. Spotlessly clean. Aris was helpful and friendly and informative.A great spot from which to explore Tinos town and island.

This is one of the most wonderful places we have ever stayed. The mill tower is a pleasure to be in. There are a few similar old mills dotted around the countryside, some derelict, and I’m really pleased this has been sensitively restored. We were looking for a quiet, warm place for a ‘baby moon’; this was ideal. Hire bikes and explore the area, the paths around are lovely. We enjoyed taking things slower here. You will probably need a car here, there didn’t seem to be public transport. But, you’re very close to Bergerac - we flew here direct and got an easy car. Wish I was still sitting outside the mills as I write this. Great wine and food all nearby.

We spent 5 wonderful days in the Christos windmill, furnished with care and elegance despite the small spaces. The windmill is unique as a location, great for relaxing and enjoying a breathtaking view, outside the downtown casino, but at the same time 5 minutes from the restaurants and the most beautiful beaches. The host was very kind and thoughtful. I hope to go back!

My Husband and I stayed in the Windmill for our honeymoon and it was absolutely magical. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. the home itself is super well equipped with everything you need. It is decorated so lovely, makes you feel right at home. Michel who greeted us at check in was lovely and very informative. Julie was also extremely polite to communicate with. Overall an amazing stay. Thanks Julie

A great place for a family holiday. Perfect for teenagers & adults. Elderly guests can stay on the lower floors. Very well kitted out with everything you might need. Would recommend it for 12 people. Also accommodates dogs.

We had a fabulous stay at Moulin MOBY! The setting was perfect and far from any stress. In addition to the very cozy mill in which we slept, the outbuilding in which we were able to spend beautiful evenings and enjoy making good meals was superb! The kitchen is beautiful and the garden is very well maintained. In addition, the accommodation is close to beautiful cities such as Óbidos and Peniche. We highly recommend this original experience!

The mill is close to Kefalos in a quiet neighborhood. A rental car is an advantage, so you can quickly reach beautiful beaches. The beach recommended by Dietmar (Magic Beach) was also our favorite. The decor was tasteful, there was everything we needed. There was also a dishwasher. We enjoyed having breakfast on the large terrace.

An amazing home. The photos don’t do it justice. So peaceful but close to activities and places of interest. Large enough to find your own space but small enough for the group to all get together easily ie mealtimes. Clean linen and towels. On arrival you just go out the back and see the amazing views looking west over the fields. Spacious accommodation all well presented and maintained. Well appointed facilities everything there from full kitchen to outdoor furniture including barbecue, which was ready to use. Any queries dealt with by hosts very quickly without any fuss. It is an absolutely brilliant holiday home for staying home and enjoying the facilities or heading out to explore the surrounding villages and towns, and French culture. Could not want more. Lovely touches of tea, biscuits and wine on arrival, plus shower gel and bath salts. It will be hard to find an equally good house and hosts. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

My friends and I had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. The host was helpful, the location is great. There is a park and ride a five minute drive away which takes you into Cambridge centre in around fifteen minutes. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated, no expense spared on the fixtures and furniture. You have everything you need for a peaceful stay.

Excellent stay in a characterful building with well equipped if slightly cramped kitchen. Triin was prompt to respond to any questions or issues. I feel that it would be helpful to mention in the description that the toilet was a non-flush, dry, compostable variety. Although this was not a problem for our group, some guests might be slightly unhappy with this arrangement. Sauna and barbecue were very welcome.

Georgios, the host is a very nice and kind person. He was always available and helpful. My stay in Drapania was really very good. The villa is very clean, tidy and well maintained. The property is highly recommended.

The mill is something very special and highly recommended! We felt totally comfortable, had a lovely stay on Öland and made great excursions thanks to Emil's tips.

Indigo Windmill delivered exactly what we’d hoped for - a beautiful location with great outdoor space to relax in. The outdoor kitchen and hot tub are real highlights!
