Waterfront holiday rentals in Europe

It was a great house with great hosts

Laura and her husband Arjan were the perfect hosts! Arjan served us breakfast each morning which included a basket of fresh bread, fruits and cheese. Arjan provided us with great recommendations and most especially - showed us how to use the tram system! It is a lovely apartment and they made us feel very welcome.

Lovely place, and well located. We had a welcoming stay, and the host took time to make a tour of the great looking place - truly unique! Very much recommend! Thanks :)

Jos’s place exceeded our expectations and our expectations were high given the photos. Located on the Panorama Express train line, we were able to travel to Interlaken, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Basel, Bern and Lucerne during our one week stay. The thing is, Bürglen and Lungren Lake were idyllic surroundings that harkened us away from the more touristy and populated areas. I am already trying to figure out a way to get back to this home away from home next year! I recommend this space without any reservation! The shower, laundry, and bed are all comfortable, and the view is outstanding. If that is not enough, the daily aroma of freshly cut grass should convince you to book!

First of all, this space is STUNNING!! So comfortable, with a gorgeous view! Hasan was attentive, helpful and quick to respond with any of our needs. I would highly recommend this Airbnb during your time in Istanbul.

Very nice and functional apartment, and very well located with a magnificent view. This stay was great, everything was perfect.

Fabulous place to stay in Prague! Jana’s apartment is really beautiful and in the best location, beautiful surroundings, away from the really busy old town which was only five minutes walk away. The bed was super comfortable and huge, and the bathroom and kitchen all worked well with a very comfortable sofa and pretty courtyard where we could relax and have a glass of wine. Jana kindly left us a few beers to start our holiday when we arrived which was welcome after our trip from London and coffee pods were provided also. If we came back to Prague we’d definitely look to stay here again as it was simply perfect in every way. Jana’s recommendations of places to eat and visit were also extremely helpful and we visited many of them. Jana and Jan are great hosts!

I was alone and stayed for seven nights and found it be a great place. Its location just near the Ponte Vecchio, yet in a quieter part of town, is ideal. There are several good restaurants within a few minutes walk. The main room, which is just big enough to accommodate a large bed, a sofa, a table for two and a credenza has large windows with views of the Arno to the Ponte Vecchio. The air-conditioner works very well. The bathroom and kitchen were clean and while I did not cook, I imagine that it would be serviceable for anyone who wishes to. All in all, Cosimo's place can be recommended.

Stunning cliff-side location in Cala en Porter. Has recently been refurbished to a high standard with 3 double rooms with 3 bathrooms. One bathroom feels like it’s been built into the cliff. Amazing sunsets, we didn’t want to leave. If you’re nimble you can walk down the cliff and access the sea using a small ladder. Kayak trips to visits local caves are quite fun. Johannes couldn’t be more helpful.

Perfect stay at Louise appartement. Everything match expectations, nothing to complain and only enjoy :) thanks a lot Louise, very much appreciated.

The stay in this Airbnb was amazing! The view is exactly like in the pictures, really beautiful! We also got clear instructions for the check-in which made it really easy and comfortable to get there. All in all we had a wonderful time and no complaints at all! ☀️

The most breathtaking view ! Perfect spot only 10 minute walk to the town of Dervio. Easy to get the Ferry and explore other spots along the lake. 10/10 recommend!

Agriculture and Architecture mix. Living on the farm. Hike the property to historical Viking battle site. Golden hour sunset from property was amazing. The boathouse is a special and unique salute to Norway. 🇳🇴 Hope to return and stay longer next time. 🤞

The perfect pad for two in a really beautiful part of Amsterdam - central and easy to walk to everything but quiet at night and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Mati was great and really easy to get hold of, ask questions etc. I would highly recommend this stay.

Josipa’s incredible space is only matched by her warm, wonderful hospitality. We were floored when we saw the views—exactly as stunning as the photos promised—but even more impressed with the intentional style + atmosphere of the impeccable space she has created. We were so glad we got to meet her in person and chat a bit, she is a ray of sunshine and warmth and made us feel so welcomed. The hardest part was leaving—especially after coming home to the apartment to find the sweetest bowl of fresh cherries she’d left for us. A very very special place.

Stunning views and very cozy place to stay!

This apartment was amazing for our quick trip to Amsterdam. The location is perfect—right on one of the main canals and walkable to everything. Helena was such a gracious host and gave us some great recs for vintage shopping, drinks, and eats. The space was well appointed and she was so flexible with our arrival and departure times. I would 100% recommend this place and would stay here again on a future visit.

We had a wonderful time at this beachfront home. The location is fantastic and the area offers many opportunities for recreation and exploration. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful – their tips for excursions and activities were very valuable. The apartment itself is very luxuriously furnished and equipped with everything you need. We felt completely comfortable and can absolutely recommend this place!

Cozy apartment, stunning view of the fjord and a perfect location that places you near the city itself and the surrounding fjords and mountains you will want to explore. But even more impressive is the way Simen treats you. Kind, easy to reach and definitely someone who’ll give you a warm welcome. Too bad that I got captured by the beauty of the fjords and mountains that I couldn’t chat a bit more with him. I wish all the best for Simen and his family. I promised myself I would return to Tromsø area very soon - and I’ll try to book Simen’s place again (as long as it’s not already booked, because it’s a gem!)

We enjoyed staying at Fleur’s apartment. It is very close to a tram stop which made it easy to get around, and it was well situated between the main areas of the city, making it a good base to explore from. The apartment was nice - it had everything we needed for a couple days in the city. The only thing to note is that the stairs within the apartment (from living area to bedroom) are narrow and steep, but this seems quite typical of stairs in this area- the same was true of stairs in restaurants in the area. Overall we had a great stay and I would stay there again!

Morningstar is a beautiful place to stay. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location could not be better. It is right across the canal from The Ann Frank house. There are many wonderful cafes and restaurants nearby. The hosts have thought of everything. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Irena is an incredible host. She provided so much support and information, and made us feel like friends. She shared valuable information on places to see and nice beaches. She went above and beyond! We highly recommend her place!

We booked because another guest's review said "just go for it" and I would offer the same advice to others. We had a great time enjoying coffee & wine on the terrace while watching boat traffic on the Grand Canal. Although there are Vaporetto stops nearby, we walked almost everywhere we went and it was great to explore the neighborhood. For a quiet night in, stop by Fried Land (just around the corner) for excellent take-out pasta.

We had a one night stay on the road from the fjords down through Sweden and this was a really nice stay in between without having to go into Oslo again. The property is in a stunning location, provided you're in to peaceful spots and don't mind a short drive for groceries, meals, etc. Everything was very clean, and the kitchen was well-equipped enough for us to throw together a quick meal. In mid-summer the sun goes down at almost 11 pm which is a shock to us coming from further south. The shades are helpful but don't quite block the sun, so I'd suggest a mask if sunlight is sensitive for you. All told it was a great stay - exactly what we needed.
