Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ionian Sea

Sonia and Paulo have invested so much time, energy and love into Villa Clelia. Together they have shaped it into a magical paradise where the weary traveller can relax in elegant comfort. No detail has been left untouched from the stylishly equipped and spacious accommodation with its al fresco dining patio to the splendid garden and pool area where majestic olive trees stand proud in a sea of closely cropped green lawn, and where aromatic jasmine cascades down the wall to the shimmering swimming pool, lit up like a film set with lanterns at night and blessed with birdsong by day. Sonia and Paulo are the world's perfect hosts. Charming, friendly, attentive and super helpful. They will guide you in whatever direction your interests lie, whether that be in the beautiful cultural and historical villages and towns in the area, the long uninterrupted beaches and bars of the coast, or hiking in the Aspromonte National Park. The local food is delightful whether you eat out or in. Heaven.

Very clean and modern accommodation with a sensational view over the beautiful Calabrian surroundings. Daniela and Pietro are charming hosts and easy to reach for any questions. Upon arrival, a delicious apple pie and a good wine were already waiting for us, and honey, jam, cereals and fresh eggs from the chicken coop were waiting for our first breakfast. The fruit that grows around the house is delicious and definitely worth trying. The peace and quiet in the mountains is priceless, and it's wonderful to read a book in the shade of the olive trees. Badolato is just a quick drive away, or you can treat yourself to a walk through the beautiful vegetation and steep terraces. The crystal-clear pool water will give you the necessary kick of freshness during warm days. We love that place and extended our stay because we already felt home after seconds. Thank you for your hospitality!

We felt right at home after our trip from Athens. Everything we needed was provided for and many extras, like wine, fruits, and sweets to our surprise. We even got to try her apple pie which was one of the best we ever had. Thank you for being such a generous host. We would definitely come back.

The place exceeded our expectations, it’s even better than the photos. Very clean, just a 10minute walk to the old town, and you can literally dive into the sea right across the street. There are also plenty of parking spots, as well as food and coffee nearby, which was super convenient.

Great stay at Milo’s Cottage with beautiful surroundings and views. It surpassed our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the tranquillity was just what we needed. The location is great for visiting nearby villages such as Kassiopi and Old Perithia. There are plenty of nearby pickup points for excursions but we would recommend having a hire car. There is however no need to leave the cottage if you are looking for a solo or couples retreat. Victoria provides information for local restaurants and she has added some really welcoming touches to the accommodation.

Where do I start. Angelos Village is an oasis of luxury, a dreamy place I didn't want to leave. The hospitality was fantastic, great communication with Andreas. Hara met me and showed me what to see and do on Paxos, and was just so lovely. The room itself was spotless, a haven after long days out walking and beaching. The pool was a dream, with lots of little areas to sit and soak up the sun (or relax in the shade). I've never seen anything like the complimentary, homemade breakfast basket -- there was just so much food (did me for breakfast and lunch), it was different every day, and every single bit was truly delicious. Yes, it is a bit of a steep climb up from Lakka town, but as many other reviewers have mentioned, 1000% worth it for the superb view and the peace and quiet. Nearby Orkos Beach is a gem, as is Lakkos/Orkou Beach (a bit more of a walk but worth it). Overall, this is one of my favourite Airbnbs I've ever stayed in. Do not hesitate to book it for a special stay on Paxos.

We had a wonderful time at Kohyli apartment! The place was exactly as described and the location right on the beach is just a dream. The location is quiet and the place invites you to relax. In the immediate vicinity are small shops, cafes and restaurants with sea views. Marina and her mother are very nice and attentive - we felt comfortable! Marina responds very quickly and was always available for us. Your restaurant recommendations were perfect. Thank you again for everything 💛 We would come back!

Wonderful, warm and relaxing accommodation! Stamatis is superbly welcoming, the village is a real haven of peace, authentic and the beaches accessible in about ten minutes on foot are extraordinary! A real paradise!

Great place, clean and nice!

We had a lovely two nights at Panos’ apartment. The view from the bedroom is stunning. Great location in the Old Town. Panos provided excellent recommendations on where to eat and beaches to visit. We loved our time in Corfu.

The place was clean and Dimitris was a very good host. Very friendly with good recommendations on restaurants and places to see. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the city square where you will find plenty of restaurants and bars. We felt safe walking at night to and from the apartment. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the hot water. There is hot water but it can run out fairly quickly. It was enough for 2 quick showers but that was about it. Not too much of an issue and we still enjoyed our stay very much.

We only stayed for one night, but from start to finish everything was as described. Terri and his parents were very sweet and helpful and parents were very accommodating , even preparing breakfast or us which was a special touch 🙏🏼 The place was spotless and the bed very comfortable 👍🏼 Thank you for hosting us. We enjoyed our stay

Beautiful private villa. Car is a necessity as this location is remote with no buses and limited taxis. Walking distance to beach. Simply stunning and relaxing.

A very pleasant and tidy accommodation. Everything is available and we didn't miss anything. The beach beds for beach season were very welcome. This has also been thought of. And of course the view and the beach a stone's throw away. An ideal stay with the tranquility we were looking for.

Wow, I wish I could give this six stars! My husband and I agreed this was the best air bnb we ever stayed in. Yes the place and location are beautiful, but what made it so special is the hosts. They were so welcoming and left us food. snacks and drinks which we appreciated during our visit. Seriously we felt so welcomed. I would not hesitate to recommend this spot to anyone, it is the perfect place to stay in if you are visiting meteora. Really easy by car to access the monasteries and nearby shops and restaurants.

Impeccable accommodation, very nice view, we were well received. I recommend it.

Do yourself a favor and book this place! The apartment was beautiful and had everything you could need. The bed was big and incredibly comfortable. We had so much fun sitting on the terrace at dusk, watching the people walking on the promenade below us, the starlings flit around above us, and the sun set over the sea. The apartment is literally right above the main promenade for the historic center, and a 4 min walk to the most gorgeous swimming area and beach club -- it could not have been more convenient or walkable. Showers in this part of the world tend to be pretty small, but the shower in Alexandra's apartment was fantastic. The internet was great. The kitchen had everything you could need. I literally cannot think of a single bad thing to say about this place. On top of all of that, Alexandra herself was incredibly helpful, connecting us with cab drivers and helping us with anything we needed. She was very responsive and so friendly. We would definitely stay here again!!!

It was a pleasure to stay at Elina’s place ! Lola and her husband are soooo kind and we were happy to meet them ! Everything was great !

Graziella's home was beautiful and clean and it had everything i needed and more. Graziella was so kind and welcoming and she made sure i had everything i needed and even had breakfast items for me. She is truly a wonderful host. It was a perfect place to get away from the chaos of the bigger busier cities and relax in San Lucido beautiful quaint seaside town. There is a bus that comes through town a few times a day and the local tobacco shop sells train and bus tickets, but it only has one train. The adjacent towns are also very quaint and beautiful. There are a couple grocery stores and several shops in town that are very reasonably priced. People are warm and friendly and very helpful. The little town below can get lively and loud but the town shuts down very early. A car to see the beautiful surrounding area is definitely recommended. Paola has a few options but you will have to book in advance.

We had a truly wonderful stay in this beautifully designed apartment in the peaceful and charming town of Nardò. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated – from the gorgeous tiles and carefully chosen furniture and fabrics, to the absolutely stunning terrace that perfectly frames the beautiful church in the main square. You can really feel the care and artistic eye that went into creating this space. It’s both stylish and incredibly comfortable. Although we didn’t meet Mikaela in person, her warm communication made us feel very welcome. She even left us a bottle of prosecco to enjoy on the terrace. Highly recommended!

This apartment is the most beautiful we have rented on our travels. That living room with an integrated kitchen is a dream. I fell in love!!! Spectacular views and brightness. You won't want to leave the house. We will definitely recommend it! Maria has it super equipped and with all the details!! A few steps away there is a beach that practically feels like private. And very close to the center of Pizzo, which is very picturesque It's a very good and quiet place to stay near Tropea (without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle) THANK YOU for everything!!!

The owner Marina was very warm and nice. She always took care of us and was always available and responsive. The pool was great and the area was very quiet. Via Marina we were also able to rent a great car, which is a must on the island! She was also able to recommend us an airport transfer and good restaurants. I'd love to come back :)

What started as a last-minute trip to Zakynthos became pure magic! Angelo and his parents are incredible hosts—caring, helpful, and truly dedicated to your perfect stay. Their genuine warmth makes this hidden gem shine even brighter. The location is breathtaking. Imagine waking to unbelievable turquoise sea views and the soothing sound of waves. Evenings under the stars, listening to the ocean, are simply special. This quiet, serene sanctuary is ideal for decompressing amidst natural beauty. Sterre of the Sea, Angelo, and his family offer a truly beautiful experience. A must-stay! I'm already planning my return in August.

I had a wonderful month in Lecce, a great deal attributes to the fact that I was staying at Fausto’s apartment. I think we’ve got the best view in the city. I really like this apartment a lot. It has every good quality that’s been mentioned in the previous reviews, and more. I also wanted to thank Fausto for his prompt responses and assistance. I had some knee issues and required assistance to get me to the train station and to the right platform the day I left and Fausto did not hesitate to help. For that he has my gratitude and thanks. I hope to return to Lecce and this beautiful apartment again in the future.
