Cottage rentals with a hot tub
Romantic and cozy refuge in the middle of Tenerife's nature
We had a wonderful stay at in La Florida and would definitely recommend for a relaxing holiday away. The house and gardens were exactly as shown in the photos and a wonderful place to relax. We really enjoyed the wood burning hot tub, we purchased additional wood from the Repsol garage. The drive to the house was steep but very manageable for a confident driver. Initially we were given keys to only one of the apartments however as this had two single beds we requested the keys to the second place as this had a double bed and Susana was very accommodating in providing these.

Stellenbosch Farm Cottage with Mountain Views
This is a lovely cottage with a peaceful atmosphere and fantastic mountain views. There were a couple of snags during our stay, but the hosts were quick to respond to any needs

Las Lagunas country house in Tunte
Elena’s place was well provisioned and a home away from home. The outside patio was spectacular with lounges, chairs, tables, hot tub, and even a ping pong table! The one challenge was the windy roads getting there. Extraordinary scenery, but keep your eye on the road! Great home base for rock climbing at Fataga and Sorrueda.

Authentic Ein Kerem
Thank you so much for accommodating us. We had a wonderful stay - We extended for a second night 🤗 thank you

Dreamy house perfect for a romantic Getaway
This is a fantastic place to stay. The house is immaculate.! In a beautiful setting. Very quiet and peaceful. The jacuzzi is a great added bonus!! Very highly recommended. Absolutely would go back again.!!!!! Gabriella is right there replying to any needs straight away.

Cosy stone house with mountain view in Olympos
We really liked this cozy house. It is very colorful and aesthetic, with a lot of national details in the interior that allow you to plunge into Turkish culture - which is what we really wanted. And of course, this house is for those who want privacy and tranquility. From a practical point of view, the house is provided with everything necessary for a modern person. A Jacuzzi at sunset with a view of the mountains is a separate priceless pleasure.

Oorgenoeg in Langebaan
We had a fantastic stay! The service was excellent, the space was clean, private, and exactly as shown in the photos and description. We loved having our own private hot tub and braai area – such a relaxing touch. The location offered easy access to all amenities, and any questions we had were quickly and helpfully answered. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway. Thank you, Nadea!

Cottage Pearl-Rural Holiday Experience by SeaPearl
Really nice location by the sea on a sunny part of the island. Good base for several walks. The village itself is not much to do. Location is exactly as in the pictures, with 2 people perfect.

Harmony Hill House, with unique view and a pool!
We had a perfect stay at Dimitra’s beautiful house. She was super responsive, helpful, and friendly. The house is spotless and has all the amenities you need. The location is peaceful and secluded but also easy to get to nearby restaurants and beaches. We wished we could spend the whole summer here!

Casa da Praia
The Casita de la Praia is a real gem. Very well located, quiet and easy to access. Rocked by the lapping of the ocean and the mild climate in the heart of a green screen. We loved it. Thank you for this pleasant stay!

Zaros! Cozy stoudio with pool!Incl.Breakfast+Taxes
Viví is the queen of Zaros. Her hospitality and her food are absolutely amazing. Her apartments/studios are very well equipped for cooking and staying in for dinner, but why would you want to do that when you can walk 5 minutes to her restaurant and have a 5+ course amazing Greek meal with wine for 15€ per person?? And the breakfast that is included is huge and wonderful. My new favorite is her Greek yogurt blended with whipped cream with the ripest strawberries and a honey drizzle. But every morning is different as is every dinner. And her moussaka, wow!!! And while everyone we’ve met from Crete is amazingly nice and hospitable, Viví sets the standard. And Zaros is such a cool little town. Go to Kurtis olive oil and meet Nikos (he’s as amazingly friendly as Viví) and get 3 bottles of oil and several packages of olives and orange marmalade and olive oil soaps etc and spend less than 19€. We spent 2 weeks on the coast and I wish it had been here.

Stonelovers® (Heated Pool Optional) - Unit3
Such a great stay, beautiful location and accommodation was top tier. We will definitely stay again!

Spacious designer studio in a rural setting
What a great cottage in a beautiful location - all the amenities, great fireplace for winter, private and peaceful. This is a modern, light-filled, well-furnished space giving you all you need to relax and enjoy your time away. At the same time, it's in a beautiful, peaceful location between Sedgefield (10 minutes away) and Knysna (20 mins away). Anne is a perfect host - responsive, thoughtful, also giving clear communication/directions. It's close to hiking areas and 10-15 mins from a stunning, dog-friendly beach. Great for people travelling with dogs. Thank you Anne!

Longonot Loft | Naivasha
Our stay at this Longonot Loft was absolutely fantastic! The location was incredible, offering breathtaking views and a truly peaceful escape. The accommodation itself was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the cozy fireplace. We would highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a memorable mountain getaway!

River Cottage No.1 Akosombo, ER (1 of 3 cottages)
The River Cottage is the perfect retreat if you're looking to unwind by the water, surrounded by nature and warm hospitality. Akosua, our host, made my stay memorable with her friendly, easygoing nature and sweet gifts of fresh fruit and homemade cookies. I stayed two nights with my one-year-old son, who loved running across the lawns, playing on the porch, and greeting Akosua’s dogs. He’d agree with a 10 out of 10 rating! The cottage is simple but charming, with a handy kitchenette for meals. A highlight was the hammock and platform overlooking the river, perfect for relaxing and watching canoes glide past. I didn’t kayak, but others did and clearly enjoyed it. You may interact with guests in other cottages, which is pleasant but never intrusive. Even with background sounds from nearby bars and churches, the overall vibe is peaceful and refreshing. Highly recommended for a slow, nature-filled escape. I'll be sure to return.

Hidden Leaf Cottage
Absolutely magical stay. We had the best time away from reality. Secluded and cozy with the inside fire going all day. Loved the little trail around the property. Will definitely be booking again in the future and might bring our daughter with us the next time. Thanks Mia

La Jara Rural House
Excellent stay in a pleasant place. Fina and Alejandro are always responsive and proactive.

Cozy mountain view home with pool Olympos &Adrasan
it was a cozy, modern and harmoniously furnished sweet home surrounded by nature.

In peaceful Prazeres | Quinta Inácia Old Cottage
Daniel and Silverio were great hosts, so very helpful and friendly. The cottage was a perfect little get away, absolutely stunning, a great balance of old and modern. So peaceful waking up to open curtains overlooking the sea that viewed for miles. We were surprised that it also wasn’t too close, or so far, from the local shops, restaurants and cafes.

Tranquil Cottage Hideway
This is our second year in a row staying at this beautiful Airbnb, and we hope to make it an annual tradition!

Delightful self catering guest cottage
Rene was extremely hospitable and informative. We loved the back garden with tortoises and a play area for kids and a lovely view. The place also had plenty of toys for kids. I also enjoyed the deck with chairs and had my morning coffee outside every day. We helped ourselves to a lovely white wine and had plenty of choices at a very good rate. Thanks Rene and Martine for the friendliness and lovely chats to point us in the right direction. We hope to meet you again one day.

Rooibos Lux Bush Cottage (SOLAR) Hoedspruit Kruger
Place was very tranquil, very warm... Wish we had more time to enjoy the place.

Casa La Dula
We spent wonderful 2 weeks in Javier's little cottage. We enjoyed the tranquility and great location with a view of the coast and the Teide and felt very comfortable from the beginning. The cottage is modern and functional and offers everything you need. The location of the accommodation is perfect for reaching the entire north and the Teide in a short time. We can only recommend the property.

A Character Villa punta carnero
Pascale’s place is just as gorgeous as the pictures look. She was extremely supportive in communication and helping me navigate the area, as well. If you do not have a car, make sure to get food at a grocery store before venturing to the Airbnb! Taxi service is rare; Pascale had to help me by calling a taxi, which was very kind of her. There is no AC! Windows help air the inside space out but you will get bugs inside, and they will be most attracted to the uncovered bulbs inside at night! Just a heads up. The playa was perfect in temperature and a short walking distance from the house. The outdoor space is a dream. Hope you enjoy if you decide to book! Thank you Pascale 🙏🏼
