Farmstay holiday rentals in Africa

An oasis away from the busy centre of Marrakech. The views were amazing from the gardens and pool, we loved sitting out there in the evenings. A local lady cooked for us and it was lovely, I’d recommend booking it. It was about 30/40 mins from the centre however, we didn’t have a car and were out in touch with a local taxi driver who was reliable and had a good rate. My young daughter loved the goats at the end of the garden and the tortoises roaming around. The village was peaceful and locals friendly. The local shop doesn’t sell much so I’d recommend stopping at the supermarket in the city before arriving.

What an absolute privilege this past month has been. The cottage has everything you could possibly need—and then some. The views are even more breathtaking in person than they appear in the photos, and the hosts went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. It truly felt like home. Definitely one of our all-time favorite Airbnbs.

One thing is for sure—if you’re visiting the Winelands and staying here, don’t overfill your itinerary. This is a place where you’ll want to slow down, soak in the beauty, and just enjoy the experience. Whether you’re lounging with a glass of wine, taking in the views, or simply appreciating the thoughtful design of the house, every moment here is special.

It is the perfect place to relax in nature. The garden is very pretty and the plants and the view on the sea are wonderful. The place has everything you need, also for cooking outdoors, which I really liked. The hosts are very supportive and proactive. I will definitely come back some day!

We had a wonderful stay. This was a a perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy an authentic taste of Santorini. Anna’s place is simple and rustic in a charming little village with great views from the rooftop. It was an adventure driving through the narrow streets but even with our baby it was no problem to walk a little and climb the steps, an easy compromise for the peace and quiet. Harry was very attentive and kept checking if we needed anything and we really appreciated the lady who cleaned for us and brought us breakfast each morning, very kind and friendly. Highly recommended.

Was a really beautiful apartment, so peaceful.

Wow! I don’t even know where to start. The stay at Villa Amira was nothing short of incredible. It’s a beautiful house with a stunning Nile view and a courtyard with a private pool that is perfect for cooling off in the heat. We booked our driver, guide, and chef through Amira and it was by far our best experience in Egypt. Our guide, Z, was incredibly knowledgeable in Egyptology and was able to answer every question we had! We asked him to take us to his little coffee shop after a day of exploring Luxor (Elio Workshop & Cafe, go support the locals ☺️)! We had a private chef, Abdul, make such delicious meals every afternoon and evening and each one was better than the last! Lastly, Sonbol was a great host at the villa and helped us with everything we needed! I cannot say enough good things about this stay! It was the highlight of our trip!

This was by far my best Airbnb experience ever. I actually had the chance to stay in both of Georgios’ beautiful homes – which is why you might see this review twice – and I truly loved them both. The Airbnbs are nestled in a lush garden full of peacocks, lovely dogs, cats and birds – it honestly feels like a little piece of paradise. It’s quiet, peaceful and the perfect place to slow down and recharge. Georgios told me he built the houses himself, and you can feel the love and care in every little detail. The architecture is unique and full of character – it’s a truly magical spot. Georgios and his wife are wonderful hosts: warm, helpful and always available if you need anything, but never intrusive. I’ll definitely be coming back to this special place. Thank you for everything!

The place was super clean and felt nice, Noa was very responsive and made sure we always had what we needed and wanted. It looks exactly like the pictures and it was just what we needed.

A wonderful experience at a beautiful plot of land with direct access to the Volta river. The tent is spacious and the design is quirky. Rosita and Myles have traveled extensively, and it shows in their attention for the details that matter: bedsheets, nice soaps, help when needed, proper portions of fresh food. You could get outdoor active in a kayak or just lounge in a hammock.

Beautiful farmhouse with amazing views & impeccable interior layout. We thoroughly enjoyed the wood fired hot tub (swimming pool) and the star filled night sky. The bed was amzingingly comfortable and the bathroom really feels homely. The fire pit outside really set this lovely cabin out from any others we have been to. Coupled with the morning greatings from the natural wildlife just set this place close to our hearts and counting down our days till we return.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Was a lovely and peaceful! Kristina was a great host & was responsive. The cottage was as described. The Beer Garden is also just a quick walk from the cottage & has some really good burgers.

Tarik's accommodation is the best starting point for exploring West Luxor, but Luxor is also easily accessible via the Nile. For us, it was the starting point for both sides. You should definitely spend several days there to get to know the place, the surroundings and the family and to be able to enjoy everything. The accommodation is the whole house in clay construction, fully equipped, very stylish and lovingly furnished and with air conditioning. You can be completely on your own or in connection and catering with Tarik and the extended family who live along the street. For all tips, driver placement (car or tuk-tuk) you can blindly trust Tarik, who calmly and with great friendliness makes everything possible for his guests. His family is very, very warm. Hopefully we can come back again!

Beautiful home. Very friendly host. Very cute dogs and pets!

We had a fantastic time at Torre Bella Gardens. The grounds are lovely, with lots of places to sit and enjoy a book and some sun. We were sent a comprehensive catalog of things to do on the island and enjoyed many of the recommendations. We would happily stay again, thank you!

A lovely flat in a beautiful setting. The flat was as described, plus a large veranda. It was easy to find (it’s listed on google maps), and Yiannis was responsive and helpful. Vouni Panagia is just across the road, where you can do a very reasonably-priced wine-tasting with great Cypriot wines. We walked part of the Vouni Nature Trail, which was also spectacular.

Really enjoyed our stay here, thanks!!

The property is out of a dream, gorgeous views, watching sunrises from the pool area while having breakfast was the highlight of our stay, one of the best homes we’ve stayed in, it’s alittle far from town but they’re still quite alot you can do around the area, Debbie our host was such an Angel, always eager to assist when we needed anything although the house gets quite chilly in the evenings but there’s a fire place and heater to keep you warm, plus heated blankets. Overall had an amazing time

The accommodation was beautifully located in a very quiet location with a breathtaking view. Everything was clean and furnished with love so that you can only feel comfortable from the first moment. It had everything you need, we also loved the many kitchen utensils and the grill, which we used every day. The terrace with whirlpool, lounge, loungers and table were the highlight. We spent a lot of time in the accommodation because we felt so comfortable. Calheta beach is 5 minutes by car and highly recommended. We also found the private parking lot great. Bruno and Maria are very accommodating and also asked how we are and if we need anything. The location was perfect for us, very quiet, lots of privacy and yet we can get everywhere by car. Many thanks to Bruno and Maria. We will be happy to come back. Best regards and see you next time. David and Sabrina

Konstantinos’s place is perfect. The location is beautiful and only a short drive to some of best beaches we have ever been to. The pool is so lovely and surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. I have never had a shower with such a good view! I wouldn’t change a thing and would recommend to anyone.

The Loft Room – A Stunning Gem! What an absolutely stunning and well-equipped self-catering Airbnb! My partner and I absolutely adored our stay. Trish and John were the perfect hosts – warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive. The property itself is breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to spot some wildlife during our visit, which made the experience even more special. The Loft was cozy, homey, and wonderfully quiet – the perfect place to relax, reset, and unwind. Everything was spotlessly clean and clearly very well maintained. In our opinion, it’s one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in so far in South Africa. We’re already planning our return trip – highly recommended!

very good. in nature, private, calm

Simply a dreamy place to stay in a quiet neighborhood (with lots of cute cats😸)! Also a perfect location for hikes and bike tours. We felt very comfortable! Andrew and Raquel were very nice and always available!

Lovely Villa with an amazing view and friendly owner!
