Cottage holiday rentals in Francavilla al Mare

Marilia's home was more perfect than we expected. Marilia is a born super host. She has the "anything for my guests attitude" and a show place home with the modern design of a centuries old historic home. Privacy, security and pastoral beauty. We were easily able to drive the back roads to visit many charming villages surrounding Marilia's home in Valle d'Itria. It was always a pleasure to return late in the evenings to the well lit country home and press the gate opener and feel the oasis of quiet all around us. Simply a perfect sized gorgeous home away from home while we visited family in Puglia. 5 stars. Would stay here again and again...

For us as a family of 4 with not very young children, it was optimal. The balcony offered meals with a super view, and also the pool was perfect for cooling off.

Wonderful place, in the middle of the olive groves, we enjoyed the beautiful view and the nice garden every day, where our dog could roam freely. Absolutely recommended, with the note that the access road is poor and very steep, so you do have to dare to drive a bit.

We spent 2 great weeks in Marja and her family appartment. The robinsonhouse is super charming, very clean and well equiped (everything you need for cooking, clean towels and sheets, and even the WIFI that was not mentioned in the description). The surrounding is very quiet and 15 minutes walk from a very quiet (almost private) beach and 10 minutes drive from the town for supermarket, restaurants and multiple activities. We spent most of our time in the terraces, enjoying the calm and the superbe view on the see. The owners, leaving next door, are super welcoming, very friendly and helpful, they even greet us with fresh grappes and figs from the garden. We highly recommend the location and also their restaurant in the city. Great place for holidays in the sun.

We stayed with Caroline for 10 days. She is a really sweet and welcoming hostess. We felt very welcome right from the start. Our 8-year-old son thought it was really nice with the sweet friendly cats who lived with Caroline. The house and the area are really nice, but there is a lot of traffic past the house.

Staying at Marina'a place was a dream. It was a truly wonderful experience, in which you are tucked away on the hillside surrounded by olive trees and lovely views of the rolling topography and sea. The intention of the landscaping, layout, and amenities of the cottage satisfied every possible need and more, making for a tranquil holiday. Marina is by far the best host we've ever encountered. She was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. It was a delight to talk with her and learn a bit about her travels and life on the island. Don't miss the opportunity to connect with her!

This is an amazing spot. Lovely. Smells like florals. So incredibly nice. Our host was so kind. A wonderful breakfast and she even drove us to the bus stops etc. we loved staying here!! 10/10 would recommend.

The accommodation is really nice, clean and cared for in every detail. Roberta was clear and kind on every occasion, really unbeatable. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful vacation in this Airbnb on Hvar. The location of the apartment is perfect, the surroundings were nice and quiet and we had an amazing view into the bay of Prapatna. Marija and her team were really helpful and supportive. Sometimes the apartment was a bit too animal friendly from my point of view, esp. regarding some insects in the sleeping room. But nevertheless it was a wonderful stay at Marijas AirBnb!

We really enjoyed our stay, stunning views from the house , surrounded by lemon and orange trees and mountains, simply beautiful. You leave your car parked at the bottom of the hill unless you have a small fiat panda or bike, but Francescas Mum drove all the luggage up for us. The place is very charming and Francesca and Anna made us very welcome, giving us fruit from the garden and homemade olive oil. We even shared a drink of homemade Limoncello together. There’s a small swimming pool which we enjoyed and a pool table which was fun to use in the evenings. After a long day sight seeing it was lovely to come back to a homely place away from the busy streets. Kitchen has a washing machine, coffee machine,microwave, hob, toaster, fridge freezer there was even water left in the fridge for us. Everywhere was clean and tidy and nice comfortable beds and pillows, towels are provided too. We couldn’t have asked for nicer hosts.

Cozy cottage in the middle of Abruzzo. Host was very friendly and flexible

House and surroundings were actually nicer than the description: very quiet, beautiful area with stone wall, olive trees etc. Pleasantly quiet. A little cat greeted us every morning for breakfast. City within walking distance - but takes at least 30 minutes.

We were in Vieste for the first time and are totally thrilled. The cottage is really right on the beach. The garden is completely fenced and tidy, which was just great with our dog. We were totally undisturbed. We were a little surprised that the individual rooms were really only accessible individually from the outside and there was no connection (no hallway, living room, etc.). The kitchen was super equipped and Silvana welcomed us in a friendly and flexible manner. In case of difficulties, they took care of it immediately and Giuseppe organized a private boat trip through the sea caves, which was breathtaking! You walk about 2 km into the city, but you have a small supermarket directly diagonally opposite. Due to the campsites next door, there are also beach bars and restaurants within a short walk. We had a great two weeks! Our dog was the most enthusiastic :D

Giovanni place was very peaceful and had a very beautiful view. Good base for visiting Nepal, Sorrento, Pompeii and Amalfi. Giovanni was very friendly and very helpful if you had any questions. My husband and I stayed for six days and had a very good time.

The apartment is in a beautiful and peaceful location, and is easy to find. It’s spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, and the view from the terrace over the lake is just stunning. Antonella and Dario are exceptional hosts, responding to messages and fixing any problems almost instantly. They definitely went above and beyond to make our stay really comfortable.

This is a special place. Maurizio and Francesca were the best hosts we could‘ve hoped for. They were super welcoming and responsive and made us feel right at home. The place is spotless and cozy and was exactly what we were looking for to calm down. If you found this Place and want to visit the Abruzzo area you really don‘t need to look further. We will definitely come back 😊

We were two families in an apartment, 4 adults and 5 children aged 9-15 years. We had two wonderful weeks at the villa. The villa has an incredibly great view of the sea, and has a swimming pool, ping pong, basketball hoop and more that children could be active with. We arrived late at night, but Rosa was ready to receive us. There was food so we could have both breakfast and lunch the next day. The apartment was well cleaned during the stay and linens were changed. It is helpful with a car to get around as shop is not in a walking condition. We visited various lovely beaches, and were excited about the cozy town of Vasto. We found that people were generally nice and welcoming. We would definitely recommend Villa Osca and the surrounding area to other travelers.

We had wonderful 4 nights in Ivica‘s little house. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures, uphill Tucepi in a quiet area. Everything that is needed was there, even with a great bbq grill. The 100 years old house was renovated with lots of love, and the rooms were super clean and had just about the right size. All in all the rooms were perfect and we had no concerns whatsoever even with two small kids! Ivica and his wife Nicolina were super helpful and friendly, giving us all the necessary recommendations we needed. Luckily we didn’t have any problems and issues, so our communication was before checkin during checkin and at check out - as it should be. All in all I would recommend the apartment to anybody, even with small children. We will definitely consider to come back and look forward to meet Ivica and Nikolina again!

This is a great place. We felt immediately at home. The apartment is very clean with a good bed and we liked the high beautiful sealing. Also wonderful for a stroll around the olive trees. Best wishes,

We loved our stay at Mariangela’s cozy cottage! It was a peaceful escape after our busy time in Rome! The Beach and local grocery store were within walking distance. Mariangela was an amazing host, she responded quickly to my questions and even gave us some fresh eggs in the morning 🥰 I would absolutely recommend her place when visiting Italy

We felt really welcome at Any’s place! She was really helpful in giving tips about the area. We went to Konoba Belin which is a big recommendation and we did a very pretty walking route in the area. We were very happy that we started our trip in Korcula here!

A hidden gem A wonderful apartment with beach access and lovely surroundings. Beautiful patio and a great, clean and well furnished apartment. Teo is a fanataic host - helpful, responsive and attentive. We simply loved our stay at this place and would love to come back to this awesome place!

Very clean, tidy house with great views and attractions in the direction of Palinuro equally beautiful. The area is very quiet, the host was very helpful and welcoming, great experience, highly recommended for those looking for tranquility a few minutes from the sea.

You only get there by car. Be wise and take a small rental car, the road is very narrow and steap.
