Holiday home rentals in Apennine Mountains

Giada's penthouse apartment was the perfect spot for a relaxing stay in Tuscany. Accessible to so many Chianti vineyards, we only wish we'd had more time staying there to explore, and less rainy weather, to enjoy the on site amenities like the pool and the two balconies more. She also gave us recommendations for the area which were super helpful! We would happily stay again.

As soon as we booked Giulia’s property she was warm, welcoming and immensely helpful. She answered all of my many questions and provided very useful tips and recommendations weeks and days prior to our arrival. Once we arrived she greeted us at the meeting point and helped carry our bags to the property. She made us feel right at home and my only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable 8-night stay here, and I can’t imagine a more perfect home in which to experience the beauty of Bologna. The loggia overlooking a serene courtyard feels like a movie set, with lovely music from the local conservatory wafting through the air against the backdrop of medieval towers that have stood for centuries. It’s truly a one-of-kind setting. Some aspects that I especially valued that may not have been mentioned in other reviews: The kitchen is a joy - bright, airy with windows on two sides, and very thoughtfully equipped - which is not always the case in rentals. There is an entire shelf full of travel guides, maps, info on local attractions and regional destinations, even an Italian phrasebook. Way beyond anything I’d expect and so very helpful- which perfectly describes Gabriele as a host. He was fantastic; excellent communication, flexible with arrival, incredibly welcoming, and just a kindhearted person. Thank you so much, Gabriele!

Our stay at Giulio & Emanuela’s place was truly magical. Giulio was very proactive and responsive with giving us directions and instructions on how to get there. They were always there for us if needed and extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Could not rave about this gem more. The place and the surrounding neighborhood are something special, and I hope to be back again someday!

We stayed 4 glorious nights at Giacinto’s place in Trasevere. It’s up the hill from the hustle and bustle of Trastevere’s restaurant district and is a short walk from great local restaurants and shops. This place is like a little haven a short distance from Rome’s tourist attractions but far enough away to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet this gorgeous neighborhood has to offer. Giacinto met us at the cottage and walked us through how to use everything. He was extremely communicative, even messaging me to inform me of a public transport strike in Rome on one of our days (v useful info to know ahead of time!) We adored our stay in Trastevere, would absolutely stay here again.

Antonella’s Chez Amelie (named after her daughter) will be one of our most treasured family memories. Climbing up the many rocky steps to the home wasn’t easy (to be fully transparent) in particular with luggage. But the home, scenery and ambience of the location was marvelous! Antonella is a great hostess, almost immediately responsive and sweet as can be. We got used to walking to town and back each night for dinner, and while challenging for my family, it’s easier without luggage! We also ate at La Preferita, a family restaurant down the street. This was a lovely and tasty experience. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming. I’d definitely return to Chez Amelie (with much less luggage)! Thank you, Antonella!

Cala and Patrizias house is truly a hidden gem. It is an ideal location for a group trip/big family trip, as the spacious house has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, lounge groups, dining areas to seat many people, etc. We felt so safe and taken care of, as Patrizia responded quickly to all our questions and needs, and the caretaker Mario helped us with heating and so on upon request. I really hope I can return here some time, the surroundings were just so peaceful and beautiful, as are the house. We had dinner at the local restaurant (about 7-10 minutes walk) in the tiny village the house is located by one evening, which we recommend. A drink at Willy's bar afterwards should be mandatory. We can not recommend hiring chef Samulele (ask Patrizia to send his brochure) enough. He and his souz chef Katia made an amazing Italian dinner with wine-pairing at the villa. He also organized a trip to a local winery for us which was just perfect!

Christine and John were the best hosts, making this incredible location even more enjoyable. They went above and beyond, recommending restaurants, wineries and experiences that made our trip unforgettable. Christine also helped us get our lost luggage back, ringing the airport for us and liaising with a driver in Florence to pick it up and drop it off to us. Incredible service. Absolutely recommend!

Good hospitality, near from everywhere and feel great to stay here... just book and don't look another

wonderful place with a beautiful landscape from the terrace

We had wonderful stay at Casale Zeno. The pristine environment is exactly what we needed and the beautiful sceneries surrounding the property were divine. Jo and Tony are very friendly hosts and it was pleasure staying at their place. We really appreciate all the small details provided in the accommodation along with the super comfortable mattress and pillows. The house is a perfect base for exploring Orvieto and the fantastic region around it. We would happily come back and recommend it. Thank you for a magical stay!

We had a great time at Stefano’s place. Having private access to the beach was amazing and the views were spectacular. Stefano was extremely quick to respond and was very helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!

The hospitality we recieved from Katia and her mum went above and beyond. The property was spotless and the private hot tub area was exactly what we needed after some busy days down on the coast. As a group of 6 friends, we had plenty of space to not feel like we were getting under each other's feet,with a big dining room table inside, a spacious patio with comfy furniture and the added bonus of the hot tub deck across the road looking over the ocean. The bus trip up to Ravello and down to Amalfi were hair raising but unavoidable on an Amalfi coast holiday. Our South African rand does not go very far on any European holiday, but Casa Fortuna was great value for our money. And it came with added bonus of delicious treats made by Katia's mother. Katia assisted us with booking our taxi to Pompeii. Thank you so much to this very generous family.

Antonella was an incredible host! She was quick to communicate, warm and friendly and always willing to help out. She even dropped us off at our dinner reservation 😊 The house itself is good with an incredible view. Bed was comfy and everything was well equipped. You will need to do lots of walking to get around and there are loads of stairs. Great stay altogether!

This is my third visit to the Lucca area, but my first time to stay inside the city walls. Fabrizio’s apartment is perfect with respect to location, style, and quality. The terrace is such a haven. Any meals we cooked were eaten out there, and a glass of wine in the evening is a must while you listen to the lively vibe of Lucca.

Amazing place! Extremely clean with beautiful views. The host was super responsive and helpful the entire stay

Great apartment in Trastevere! several amazing restaurants within a short walk and a fun coffee shop/bar on the corner. Also a small market next store with breakfast items, fresh bread, meats, and wine. Apartment is very comfortable and the balcony is lovely at all times of the day. Kitchen well equipped with all needed to cook meals if interested. Beds comfortable and has fans/ac. Walked all over Rome from this location, would highly recommended.

Cosimo’s place was in a great location, very clean, and comfortable. He was always responsive. Recommended!

Beautifully located in nature in the mountains away from the hustle and bustle. Super clean and very well equipped place to stay. Fantastically beautiful garden and great pool. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back.

This was the highlight of our Italy adventure. The house was amazing. The views from the balcony were unbelievable and we were lucky enough to see fireworks every night (though it was just lucky). We could see the marina and even our girls swimming in the ocean off the beach right from the balcony. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit and enjoy the evenings together. The walk up to town was incredibly easy and took about 10-15 minutes. But it was not necessary to go to town because the restaurants and shops in Marina Grande were everything we needed. The ability to rent paddle boards and boat tours right there by the apartment was so convenient. Still it was fun to walk up to the main town and shop all of the small shops and pop-ups. It was a truly incredible experience to be in Sorrento. We will 100% be recommending this rental to everyone we know visiting the area and we will return as soon as we can.

Antonella is a great host. I can confirm all the good comments in the reviews. We went there with a car and always found a free parking lot - also Antonella assisted in finding one when we were unsure whether we would get one late at night. I visited with my 76 year old grandmother- she managed the stairs without any bigger trouble so if you’re under 60 and somewhat flexible you won’t have any problems at all. I would recommend 10/10 times Definitely an AirBnB Gem!

The places it’s beautiful. We love the terrace, it was relaxing after a long day of walking. Everything was close by even a laundry place. We found a good restaurant just around the block and the food was great. We also found a really good bakery 2 or 3 blocks from the place.

We highly recommend staying at Dario's.... perfect location, so comfortable and quaint....My husband and I loved relaxing on the balcony... we felt like locals.... we would love to return.

We had a fantastic stay at Antonino’s apartment. The location is absolutely perfect – right in the city center, with everything we needed just a short walk away. The apartment itself was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Antonino was a great host – responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!
