Earth house holiday rentals in Africa

The cottage of Manolis in Schinokapsala was a very enchanting place and Manolis was a very reliable and extremely accommodating host. At Easter we even got a Easter nest as a gift. We had a fantastic vacation and can wholeheartedly recommend this place. We hope to come back again.

Athanasia"s house is a true work of art built by her father. It is a true blast from the past, built using traditional methods and materials. It has all the facilities you could want with a fantastic view. It would be a godsend in the summer asthe house would remain cool in the hot weather. A great place to stay.

Great rustic place in a quiet neighbourhood, we particularly liked the open fireplace and the large terrace. Great communication by the host.

Magical oasis in a beautiful setting. Everything is so well thought out. Beautiful interior decoration staying true to its aim of being sustainable. The bed is probably the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in away from home. Even the toiletries smelt amazing. The outdoor area is also spectacular. Best shower I’ve had under the stars. I would most definitely come back. Zelma also booked us in for dinner at Bread&co across the valley (2 mins away) and the food was amazing. Everything was superb and it’s been one of the most special stays I’ve had. Worth every penny!

This was one special stay! This cave is a sacred and cozy spot full of an amazing energy. The place more spatious than it seemed in the pictures and super comfortable with everything you need inside. It didn’t take long for us to feel at home. The hosts were very responsive and detail-oriented, providing us in the cave with all things you may need to make you feel right at home. You definitely need a car to move around as there is nothing really within walking distance. But we love the quietness and remoteness of this space. It has a beautiful terace where we chilled and made a grill, and also a terace on top of the cave where you have an amazing view of the region and the ocean. We spent two weeks there and this cave made our stay 10 times more special! Thank you so much 💚

We were very pleased. When we arrived, the fridge was filled up, which was very convenient for us. We were able to eat it for several days. Due to the low season, the tavernas were unfortunately closed and we always had to move the car to find one. That was not entirely clear to us in advance. The property is ideally located for exploring the east and surrounding cities. On the roof terrace you could easily spend an afternoon in the sun and in the evening there was fantastic light at sunset. We didn't lack anything. Everywhere you have found small gadgets or board games. Only the small bathroom and the very soft beds on the upper floor were not quite as we imagined, but the rest of the place was so nice that you could easily overlook it. We got tips for the area and the landlady was always reachable. We recommend the place!

Very friendly welcome by Aline in the beautiful house. Actually, you don't need to write much, because everything has already been written in the positive reviews. The tranquility is simply outstanding. Apart from the wind and a few birds, you can't hear anything. From the master bedroom, you can see the sea from the bed. Of the 3 in total, 2 have a sea view and one has a beautiful mountain backdrop. Approximately 8 minutes' walk to the beaches. A car is still a must to explore El Cotillio with its many restaurants and shopping and other beaches in 7 minutes. Overall, it was an unforgettably beautiful vacation with very nice hosts. I'm sure we'll be back soon.

Place looked way too beautiful in person 😍 😍... and it was absolutely clean and peaceful. A pool would be great addition but overall we enjoyed our Stay and we were only 4.5km to WR primary which was perfect

We had a lovely week staying in the Cave of the Cat. Once we got there, it was very peaceful, the view was amazing, and Juan Carlos very friendly and helpful. We recommend that someone in couple who rents be a very good driver as the property is down a very steep road and up a driveway. In general, the roads on that part of Gran Canaria require a solid driver, but the natural beauty and peace are worth the effort. There are local restaurants and shops nearby. One of the best parts of this part of the island is very few people who aren't residents, so you really get to experience the community. We ate at home all of the nights as it was a lovely spot and the kitchen was very accessible. A very nice location for a real getaway.

Hands down the most beautiful place I ever stayed at! The views alone makes this Airbnb a 10/10. But they didn’t stop there - all was very well organised, clean and practical. We were there for 10 days and did a lot of trail running and remote working. Fast internet and great set up to work! Beautiful trails right out of the door. We enjoyed it so much and can’t wait to be back!

I had a great stay here with my two daughters. We all loved the clean, spacious and well equipped villa and Nikos was a very friendly and accessible host. Highly recommended !

Thank you for an awesome time. We loved it and will return!

This place was great. Very peaceful and all the many outside spaces made it a perfect place to chill at home. Kitchen is very well equipped which made it a pleasure to cook at home. Would come back

This is one of the most beautiful villas I’ve ever stayed at!! Truly beautiful and captivating from the get go! Amazing cook and driver, the stars at night time are out of this world! Gregory is a lovely host I definitely recommend this amazing villa. Driver was sorted out for us at all times, we enjoyed the free breakfast and lovely dinner that was available, everything was spot on! Thank you for an amazing stay we will definitely be coming back soon

We had a wonderful holiday in Djerba, not least thanks to Imen’s wonderful cottage and hospitality.

beutiful Earthen home with private heated pool, amazing views and most important of all genuine and rare hospitality. sure to come back.

We throughly enjoyed our time here! The views of the dam and mountains from every room in the house was incredible! It's definitely not as secluded as it looks in the pictures but on the upside you are a quick 5 min drive into Montagu town. Notes for yourself when packing: -only 1 small firelighter is provided unfortunately (there are many fire areas so make sure to bring extra!) -only instant coffee provided but there is a coffee machine & plunger but you unfortunately need to being your own. - no milk or water is unfortunately provided either other than those few negatives we had an amazing time overall and would definitely visit again! Host was easy to communicate with and provided a beautiful bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary here which was appreciated.

The riad exceeded our expectations, it was not only very well decorated it was very clean and had everything we needed. Valerie went above and beyond to help us organize transportation and breakfast. The rooftop patio was the perfect place to enjoy the mornings and the pool was great for the hot afternoons. The bedrooms were so comfortable and nice and quiet at night. We absolutely loved our stay and would go back!

I've spent a wonderful few days at Jay's beautiful lodge. It's exactly what I was looking for in rural Morocco, a peaceful location within easy distance of the beaches. Jay is such a welcoming host (as other guests have mentioned) and provides excellent local information, besides handy tips for things like local cook services. (I used the cook for several Moroccan meals, and was able to choose dishes). The lodge itself is much more spacious than I imagined, and it was an ideal space for work and relaxation, overlooking the argan trees. You need your own car to stay here due to the location, and it's easy to find. I'd highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in nature and unwind.

This was the most wonderful whimsical place i have ever stayed! Nani’s wonderland is a fascinating place with art in every corner. The house was beyond! Even better then we had imagined. Amazing kitchen, great shower, bed and even a fire place! Winnie, our welcome host was very kind and helpful which made everything very easy. I highly recommend this place!

Stunning location, unique property, and such an accommodating host and team! This standard of hospitality is rare + the proximity to Nairobi makes it so so so worth it. Thank you, Petrina, Omondi, Peter and team. We had a fantastic time!

The Drakoni House is a unique, wonderful place that was built and furnished with a lot of love. Alexandros paid a lot of attention to detail during construction and made an effort to preserve as many remnants of the old house as possible. This charm comes across very well. We were only there for a week, but it was enough time for us to feel very much at home and to relax. The nearest village is beautiful and has lots of nice little restaurants. Alexandros' tips made us feel very involved and he made the vacation very special. We will definitely come back.

Kent’s Cottage exceeded our expectations. It is an incredible little place in a gorgeous location and we will definitely be back. It has everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing time away in nature. The Kol Kol and indoor fireplace was exceptional and the piping hot outdoor shower was simply amazing!

We loved our stay at Casa La Orilla. The house was peaceful, cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect. The village, with nice cafes and a supermarket, was a 2 min walk away along the beach. Even though it was very windy elsewhere the beach was sheltered and calm. The water was clear and great for snorkelling, and safe for young children. We hope to be back soon.
