Earth house holiday rentals in Africa

Das Häuschen von Manolis in Schinokapsala war ein ganz zauberhafter Ort und Manolis ein sehr zuverlässiger und äußerst zuvorkommend Gastgeber. Zu Ostern haben wir sogar ein Osternest geschenkt bekommen. Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub und können diese Unterkunft aus vollem Herzen weiter empfehlen. Wir hoffen, wir können nochmal wiederkommen.

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 💚

Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Als wir ankamen war der Kühlschrank hoch gefüllt, was uns sehr entgegen kam. Wir haben mehrere Tage davon essen können. Aufgrund der Nebensaison waren die Tavernen leider geschlossen und wir mussten immer das Auto bewegen, um eine zu finden. Das war uns im Vorhinein so nicht ganz klar. Die Unterkunft ist ideal gelegen um den Osten und die umliegenden Städte zu erkunden. Auf der Dachterrasse konnte man problemlos einen Nachmittag in der Sonne verbringen und abends gab es fantastisches Licht beim Sonnenuntergang. Es hat uns an nichts gemangelt. Überall hat man dann noch kleine Gadgets gefunden oder Gesellschaftsspiele. Lediglich das kleine Bad und die sehr weichen Betten in der oberen Etage waren nicht ganz nach unseren Vorstellungen, aber der Rest der Unterkunft war so schön, dass man das leicht übersehen konnte. Wir haben Tipps für die Gegend bekommen und die Vermieterin war immer erreichbar. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft weiter!

Sehr freundlicher Empfang durch Aline in dem wunderschönen Haus. Eigentlich braucht man nicht viel zu schreiben, da schon alles in den positiven Bewertungen geschrieben wurde. Hervorzuheben ist einfach die Ruhe. Ausser dem Wind und paar Vögeln hört man nichts . Von dem Hauptschlafzimmer kann man vom Bett aus bis zum Meer schauen. Auch von den insgesamt 3 hat man von 2 Meerblick und einmal eine wunderschöne Bergkulisse. Zu den Stränden ca 8 min Fußweg. Ein Auto ist dennoch ein Muß, um in 7 min El Cotillio mit seinen vielen Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und weiteren Strände zu erkunden. Insgesamt war es ein unvergesslich schöner Urlaub mit sehr netten Gastgebern. Kommen sicher bald wieder.

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!

Het verblijf valt beter mee dan je op het zicht van foto's en beschrijving zou denken. Voor ons ideaal gelegen : afgelegen - rustig - authentiek - in de bergen. Nikos is een zeer goede host. Altijd bereikbaar indien nodig - vriendelijk - zeer gastvrij . Een auto huren is zeker een aanrader want geen openbaar vervoer in de buurt . Het zwembad is een topper voor mensen die graag in het water vertoeven maar er zijn zeker ook leuke adresjes aan de zee zelf terug te vinden. kortom : een ideaal adresje voor een relax vakantie .

Nous avons séjourné dans ce site merveilleux, malheureusement pour nous la météo n'était pas au rendez-vous ce qui a rendu l'accès logement difficile, mais heureusement pour nous, Nicole et son mari Yohan nous ont apportés une assistance précieuse. Ils ont été super réactif, ils répondent très rapidement et sont toujours agréable. super hôtes.

Wir waren als Familie mit zwei kleinen Kindern in Giovannis Haus und haben unsere Zeit sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Straße nicht weit vom Zentrum von Lajares. Besonders den schönen Außenbereich und den Pool haben wir sehr gemocht. Auch die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Vielen Dank nochmal.

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

Très jolie maison djerbienne typique avec beaucoup de charme et jardinet bien entretenu. On conseille la location d’un véhicule, ce qui facilite grandement l’accès au centre de Houmet Souk, aux restaurants, plages et visites de tout l’île. Hôte réactif, accueil chaleureux et communication aisée.

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.

Nous sommes allées au Riad des épices pour un EVJF et nous avons passées toutes un excellent séjour. Le Riad est idéalement situé au cœur de la médina à proximité de la place. Il est joliment décoré, propre et chaleureux. On ne peut que s’y sentir bien tellement c’est paisible. Valérie est très réactive lors de mes différentes demandes. Mention spéciale pour la literie qui était excellente mais surtout les petits déjeuners ( c’était notre repas préféré de la journée ). Le personnel est charmant souriant agréable. Bref rien à redire! Pensez à prévoir une soirée au Riad pour déguster un bon tajine fait maison. Si nous devions revenir nous pourrions revenir dans ce Riad sans hésiter! Encore un immense merci pour la flexibilité aussi sur les horaires. Team EVJF de Laurie

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.
