Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Francavilla al Mare

Wim’s place is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a family vacation. It was nice to be away from people and to finally relax. Stefania was kind, helpful, and personable. The home offered what we all needed. We cooked the majority of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Wim was proactive, and provided a complete guide to all things Puglia. Unplugged and unwinding is the way of life in Serranova.

Excellent. A very special house for nature lovers, secluded in a private bay. You can only hear the birds and the sea. Sunset included. Very nice host. He even caught us fresh fish and prepared it deliciously. Unforgettable stay.

Adorable apartment close to the center of town. Easy communication with the host. Five minute easy walk to historic center. The place was clean and the key easy to use. I reccomend this home.

We had one of the best stays ever at this Airbnb – on a scale of 1 to 5, we’d give it a 10! The property is beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and super comfortable. Nestled on the side of a hill, the location offers breathtaking views of the town, sea, and Mt Vesuvius. While the 200 steps down to town added a bit of a workout to our daily routine (10 minutes down and 20 minutes back up); we managed just fine and we are in our mid to late 60’s. The hosts picked us up from the train station, drove us directly to the home and took is back when our stay ended We do recommend that anyone with mobility issues check with the hosts to arrange personal transportation before booking, as taxis and Ubers won’t pick you up right at the doorstep. The hosts are exceptional & some of the nicest folks we have met. They are more like concierges than typical Airbnb hosts. They arranged day trips, restaurant reservations and even a private guide to Pompeii. Can’t wait to come back!

The listing was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Monica was exceptionally kind, helpful and communicative. I would definitely recommend!

The accommodation, like the Sassi di Matera, was exceptional and made our stay idyllic. Matera is a beautiful city, timeless and very peaceful. The accommodation, which keeps a very cool temperature despite the heat outside, is very well located in the old town. It is close to all the restaurants and all the small alleys, so it's very easy to do everything on foot. Finally, Patrizia was very available and very friendly. I would recommend it in a second.

We loved staying at Mimma’s home. She was a brilliant host who had thought of everything. The house is ideally located for seeing lots of the beautiful towns and beaches of Puglia.

What an amazing place to stay in Matera! We absolutely loved our time at Francesco’s wonderful sassi apartment. It was stunning to stay in an actual sassi, and the atmosphere of the place was authentic as well as comfortable and beautiful style-wise. We loved the decor. The bed was comfortable and the huge bathtub in the spa area was heavenly. There are very good restaurants right by the apartment, including the one directly across the street. It was so nice having the patio right out front looking out on the incredible town of Matera. We had lunch and aperitivo out there and it was pretty heavenly. Francesco is a kind and responsive host, and we were so happy to stay at his wonderful place!

We LOVED it! Emiliana’s place was recommended to us by friends as the highlight of their trip. We, too, can say that her place is very special and it was such a memorable experience to stay there. The photos cannot do it justice, and somehow the 91 stairs from the church piazza up to the apartment felt worth it, every single time. Our host was friendly and easy to communicate with, before and during our stay. Emiliana shared a wonderful path up the Valle del Dragone to Ravello that was one of our trip highlights. She was very flexible with our arrival and was able to graciously extend our stay when we ran into an issue. If you have the chance to stay in this magical place , you’ll never forget it.

Very charming apartment. Good beds, well-equipped kitchen, working smart TV. In a beautiful setting with beautiful beaches and an old town. Parking in the neighborhood is a bit more difficult, but there is always a place to find, even if it is a bit further away. Host is very helpful and hospitable.

I stayed with 3 other friends for 3 nights. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. She was able to coordinate a car rental to be delivered to the house for us. The apartment is really large, walkable to a great beach and restaurants and so peaceful. The kitchen is rather small, therefore if you’re looking to cook a ton, might not be the best for that, but was perfect for preparing breakfast and snacks. Overall, it’s a beautiful space, really comfortable couches and would definitely stay again!

An absolutely beautiful apartment, part of an old palace, right in the heart of Lecce. So full of character and charm. We couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring the town and the surrounding area. Clean and comfortable with air-conditioning which was great for the night time. Francesco even left us some local cakes for our arrival and was there to meet us to help us with our bags up the stairs. The roof terrace is absolutely stunning with views of the church and street below. I couldn't recommend enough. Thank you for having us ❤️

Our stay at Casa Gentile was absolutely perfect! The home was somehow even more beautiful than in the pictures, with the most gorgeous view of the Sea. Fiorella assisted us throughout our stay and she made our time in Praiano amazing. Gennaro and Fiorella arranged private transportation from Naples to Praiano, making our commute much easier. Fiorella greeted us and gave us a tour of the house, printed bus schedules, and even sent a detailed list of restaurant and beach recommendations. Her family took great care of us, helping us bring luggage up steps and even picking fresh fruit for us throughout our stay. I cannot emphasize enough just how welcoming Fiorella was, she certainly was the best host we’ve ever had. As for Praiano, there are internal busses that take you around the beautiful town, as well as busses to Positano and Amalfi, very close near by. The busses were often late, but I’m sure it’s because we came during peak season. Anyways, we can’t wait to be back one day. Grazie!

We had a great stay. The location was perfect for getting anywhere in the city, local enough not to be overrun with noise or tourists. A great local wine bar at the end of the block was perfect for an end-of-the-day or a start-of-the-evening glass of wine. We like to keep our reviews as clear as possible- PROS Location, quiet, snacks on arrival, plenty of towels, comfy bed, patio, washer, great communication CONS Hot water runs out fast, the bedroom is not closed off from other areas of the space, the shower is super small

I have never been so sad to leave an Airbnb!! heavingly location, perfect clear water to dip into daily, hearing waves splashing through the windows, total bliss!! Mateo was so friendly and helpful, lots of helpful advise and info, felt so settled there instantly. beautifully decorated, lots of room for ourselves and two tall teens! lovely restaurant/bar a five min walk away with a pool you can use overlooking the sea, had fab day trip and dropped back by boat to the pier at the house! could write another review on the cat and the tortoises who we all loved too!! we'll be back!! thanks so much Mateo!

Can’t recommend Federica’s place enough! Such a great spot & easy to get to Napoli, Amalfi coast, Capri, Pompeii… we enjoyed our stay throughly & Federica was so friendly & kind. She provided many options & recommendations to make our holiday the best experience.

Ivo was really friendly, responsive and approachable. He provided a welcome platter on arrival which was a lovely surprise. Arrived early and Ivo kindly dropped us off at a local restaurant and picked us up after, really kind, hospitable host. The villa itself was just the same as the pictures, location was very quiet and peaceful, local bakery walking distance and the Verandah restaurant highly recommended. Small supermarket also walking distance away to pick up essentials. Villa only 20 to 25 minutes from old town Dubrovik. Mihaela also arranged day trip tours and airport transfers which all worked out perfectly. Highly recommended

This is an extremely beautiful house in a perfect environment. It is very well furnished, sparkling clean and invites you to linger. We enjoyed the stay with the very nice pool and had been received very friendly and attentive beforehand. All in all highly recommended!

Relax and enjoy the many treasures of the tower and the surroundings. Ruvo de Puglia is a pleasant and authentic town, from where you can discover Puglia. We had the pleasure to sight a fox regularly and the many sounds of nature in the orchard were enticing. We used many herbs from the garden when cooking. Alessandra provided us with information about the herbs and nature in the orchard. Alessandra was a fantastic host, very informative and responsive. Our holiday was two weeks, during which we enjoyed ourselves more and more.

It is hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay here. First of all, Gabriella is a FANTASTIC host. From the moment we started communicating she was so helpful, booking activities for us and arranging for taxis with drivers who were so friendly. And her father, Giuseppe, was so warm and welcoming as well. The home was absolutely spotless, had so many amenities, and Gabriella provided so many thoughtful and nice touches that made us feel so well loved and cared for. They truly felt like family. We were here celebrating two 25th anniversaries between our two families, as well as the graduation of our children from high school. We could not have picked a more beautiful and special place. Two of our outings - a boat tour to Capri that started and ended in Amalfi and hiking the Path of the Gods, finishing in Positano - made us feel even better about our choice of where to stay. Those other two cities were packed, but Furore was so peaceful. We highly recommend this lovely home!

Where do I begin? This was our best experience to date! Claudia’s love for this property shines through, and the thoughtful care and attention to every generous detail made our experience so memorable! From her beautiful, well appointed home to the stunning views and outdoor spaces - we soaked up all the gems she made available to us. Her hospitality was above and beyond, with a fully stocked pantry of delicious food to checking in on us each day, she gave us so much information to make sure we were set! To top it off, we were able to work with her personal and extremely attentive concierge, Aniello, who helped us plan our trip. It didn’t stop there, Claudia’s relationship with a local restaurant gave us access to a free shuttle and Aniello was responsive to every need. We had full access to her amazing hotel as well. This home is higher in the hills, but you can easily walk behind the house (it’s a bit of a down hill walk to a path) and in a few minutes you hit the cute town.

The host made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The kitchen had fresh fruit, coffee, wine, Pasta and sauce waiting for us. It was a great treat after a day of travel. Fresh lemons were avaliable for picking on the property. Every morning fresh pastry awaited us on the porch. We couldn't have been more pleased with the amenities. Thank you Marco and Frano

We loved our stay in Praiano. We enjoyed Praiano’s relaxed atmosphere compared to surrounding cities. There is no ferry or cruise ship dock in Praiano, thus it is much less crowded compared to Amalfi and Positano. It is very easy to take water taxi’s to nearby towns and attractions. The hosts were very accommodating and answered our questions, which helped as it was our first visit to the area. The villa is very clean, beautifully constructed and well appointed. We enjoyed our time on the patio, using the kitchen, and taking in the views. When visiting Praiano, you should be prepared to do a lot of walking and climbing stairs. We would recommend the Villa to anyone looking to stay in the area.

The best Airbnb we have stayed in for location and the stunning views. It was a treat to return to each day and enjoy the plunge pool and the beautiful scenery and so peaceful after a day on the coast. Vincenzo and his family were lovely and helpful. Would certainly stay again and definitely recommend to anyone.
