Family-friendly holiday rentals in Islands

We had a wonderful stay at this breathtaking Airbnb in Oia, Santorini. The location is absolutely stunning—perched right on the caldera with jaw-dropping views that made every moment feel like a postcard come to life. That said, be prepared for a bit of a trek to get down to the property (and back up!). The stairs can be quite challenging, especially for those with mobility or health concerns, so it's definitely something to keep in mind when booking. The host arranged for a porter to help with our luggage during both check-in and check-out, which made a huge difference. Still, it's important to know that getting around requires some physical effort—but the view at the end of the journey is 100% worth it. The host was great at coordinating everything—from taxi transfers to porter service. Upon arrival, a designated greeter met us and guided us to the room, offering helpful tips to remember the location (which is key—Oia’s winding pathways can be confusing, especially at night). Our r

Anna and Teo were very responsive and helpful, especially with a tour guide and pickup at the port and drop off at the airport. Very nice to provide little snack and drink gifts too. Perfect location - close to everything.

What a find. This area is less touristy but has all you need. Amazing restaurants, view points, car and buggy rentals. The house it self is as described. Perfect! We cooked dinner and ate on the terrace during sunsets, no bugs. Many friendly people around. All you need for coffee is provided. Cooking utensils and pans were good enough. Found I needed an extra bowl but as luck would have it there was a local market that was selling beautiful bowls. Also there is Maria market that had all the necessities. Be ware of things that don’t have a price. Over all we had an amazing stay and our host was very prompt, kind and responsive!

By far, this was the most pleasant experience my family has ever had at a vacation rental. As an airbnb host myself, I didn't realize how much a host can improve the quality of the trip! Not only was this home everything and more that you expect from the beautiful listing, but the host's whole family came together to create a memorable and once in a lifetime experience for my family. We were so touched by their friendliness, generosity, and hospitality. The home itself was much bigger than I expected, with 5 separate bedrooms with stunning water views. The town of Lavrio is just a 5 minute drive away and is the cutest town to buy fresh fruit and veggies, as well as fresh caught fish. We also had the best iced coffee from the different cafes in town. We stayed for 5 nights, and enjoyed just the right amount of touristy attractions and beach lounging. We are so thankful for the opportunity to have stayed here!

We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing home in Oia! Laskarina was a fantastic host who communicated very well and provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and tours. The house is beautiful with stunning views, and the location could not be better, right on the main street surrounded by restaurants and charming stores. Despite being in the heart of all the activity, the home felt completely private. The hot tub is private as well and offers an incredible view. The balcony is spacious and the perfect spot to sit and take in the scenery. The home is a short walk to the blue domes picture spot as well as the sunset spots. Highly recommend staying here!

This Villa was phenomenal! We had assistance with luggage transport and someone to meet us at check-in, breakfast delivered each morning, and the location was even more beautiful than we imagined. If you are looking for a private Villa in the heart of Oia, book this place!

Absolutely Breathtaking Stay! Our experience at this Airbnb was nothing short of incredible. The place itself is absolutely breathtaking. The view is truly amazing, and honestly, the pictures don’t do it justice. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by George, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He took the time to walk us through all the details of the house, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Throughout our stay, George was extremely responsive. Any time we had a question, he answered immediately and was always helpful. The chauffeur services he arranged were excellent and made getting around so convenient. George even took the time to say goodbye to us in person, which meant a lot. We truly didn’t want to leave and only wish we had stayed longer. This is a place we would absolutely love to return to. Highly recommend!! Thank you, George, for making our stay so special. Your hospitality and kindness made this trip unforgettable.

Great place to stay within walking distance to Ornos beach and a short drive from the old town area of Mykonos. Grocery/pharmacy/bakery just around the corner. Host was super helpful as was dedicated shuttle driver, worth every penny of the drives to from the ports and further away areas. Will definitely come back!

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in dem wunderschönen, traditionellen Haus. Wir liebten es! Es ist sehr geräumig, draußen wie wie drinnen gibt es viele Sitzmöglichkeiten. Alles ist sehr sauber und es waren sehr viele Extras vorhanden. Inmitten alter Olivenbäume konnten wir im Schatten entspannen und die Stille genießen. Der kleine Pool war perfekt für eine Erfrischung! Es gibt einige Restaurants, welche wir zu Fuß durch die griechische Landschaft erreichen konnten. Einige der schönsten Strände waren gut erreichbar. Viele Empfehlungen erhielten wir von der tollen Gastgeberin. Dimitra hatte uns herzlich empfangen und uns mit Köstlichkeiten versorgt. Sogar der Kühlschrank war mit kleinen Annehmlichkeiten gefüllt, sodass wir nach der Anreise Essen und Entspannen konnten. So einen großzügigen Empfang haben wir noch nicht erlebt. Wir können es sehr empfehlen und möchten wiederkommen!

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön - weißes Haus mit blauen Fenstern und pinken Blumen. Die Lage war perfekt mit unserem Mietwagen (den wir direkt vor der Tür parken konnten) zu erreichen und zwischen einer Vielzahl wunderschöner fußläufig erreichbarer Strände. Aus dem Bett sowie von der Terrasse aus konnte man direkt auf das Meer sehen. Die Kommunikation mit Stella war sehr nett und einfach. Sie hat uns mit einem Tablett voll Essen willkommen geheißen. Es wurde täglich gereinigt und sogar die Handtücher wurden ausgetauscht. Der einzig negative Punkt waren die Mücken. Ein Fliegengitter im Fenster wäre sinnvoll.

I had a fantastic stay at Nikolas' place in Antiparos! The location is absolutely perfect – close to everything yet peaceful enough to fully relax and enjoy the island vibe. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Nikolas was a great host – friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Antiparos. Hope to return someday! Efcharisto :)

excellent! best Airbnb experience that we had. beautiful surroundings, very calm and private. also great with kids. super lovely garden and balcony. Myron's mother is very hospitable and the house has all the amenities and small details that you might need during your stay! thank you very much!

Wir würden herzlich von Eleni begrüßt und verbrachten eine Nacht dort. Die Ausstattung war super und bis ins kleinste Detail. Kaffee, Tee, Duschgel, einfach an alles gedacht. Parkplätze waren auch immer verfügbar und nebenan liegt ein kleiner Laden. Immer wieder gerne!

Everything was great .. the place is beautiful and quiet.

We enjoyed a memorable time at Nikolao’s house. We very much appreciated the comfort of the house, the view, and the direct access to the beach. We also appreciated that the house was very well equipped and the kind welcome gestures. Definitely recommended!

Merci à Eirini pour son accueil, son sourire, sa bienveillance et sa réactivité. Le logement charmant et calme est super bien placé pour découvrir Santorin. Nous avons aussi profité de la plage en contrebas du logement. Plage privée à cette époque !

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. In der Villa ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht und innen ist alles sehr gepflegt. In der Küche gibt es Tee, Olivenöl und Kräuter. Die Terrasse und Pool sind toll! Der Pool liegt so wie auf dem letzten Foto zu sehen. Die ersten zwei Tage war sehr starker Wind, dann weniger, aber auf jeden Fall haben wir und unsere 3 Kinder es absolut genossen, dass der Pool beheizt wurde. Danke dafür! Unterhalb des Grundstücks ist gerade eine Baustelle, was für den Ausblick zur einen Seite schade ist, sonst aber nicht wirklich störend war. Maria haben wir persönlich leider nicht kennengelernt, aber die Kommunikation mit ihr war unkompliziert und nett. Wir empfehlen die Villa auf jeden Fall weiter.

Merveilleux logement, de charmantes attentions à l'arrivée, une communication avec l'hôte super, nous avons eu des recommandations pour tout le séjour et il a pris de nos nouvelles chaque jour. Le ménage était fair régulièrement. Nous étions à la fois au calme et avons apprécié l'espace à l'extérieur et la possibilité de se garer tout en étant proche de tout. Pas de bruit, séjour très agréable. Tout etait décoré avec beaucoup de goût. Bravo !

I had a truly wonderful stay here with my husband. The place was peaceful and beautifully located on the quieter side of the island, which made it feel like a hidden gem. The views were stunning, the space was spotless, and the pool was perfect for relaxing. Our hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, they even provided us a breakfast for the mornings. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

This place was a highlight in our time in Greece. Not only was the property absolutely stunning with breathtaking views, but the hosts went really above and beyond for every element of our stay. We asked about how to get around and they offered to organise a car, which they then had delivered to us, at a discount, within half an hour. Then when we celebrated my birthday during the stay, Katerina showed up with a surprise birthday gift including wine. Both Katerina and Markos were super friendly and accessible, and Katerina knew the area in detail and gave lots of great personalised recommendations of where we could eat when I told her I was vegan. The room was made up daily with fresh sheets and towels and the entire stay was five-star hotel-level. My partner and I couldn’t recommend this place more highly! Honestly, do not go to Mykonos without staying here.

Best honeymoon place in Platanias ❤️ We thought the accommodation was perfect. A peaceful retreat in an excellent location. Shops, the beach, and great restaurants were all within walking distance. Despite this, the place offered complete privacy. A nearby restaurant also delivered food directly to the property upon request. The terrace area with the pool and barbecue was excellent. The kitchen, living room, and bedroom were beautifully decorated, and the bed in the bedroom was very comfortable to sleep in. Both the living room and bedroom had air conditioning. The accommodation also offered books to read as well as some board and card games. The owners were very easy to reach if needed. I absolutely recommend this place to everyone, and I hope to return again soon myself.

A beautiful spotless private one bedroom lodging in a converted 300+ year detached building. Friendly local cats (which stayed outside!) The private pool was wonderul for cooling off. Giorgia and Dionysos were very welcoming and attentive, communicated with us from the start of the booking, with detailed instructions for finding their place. They offered great suggestions for local taxi (Platanias Taxi, highly recommend) and restaurants, things to do, etc. Only a few hundred meters walk to the beach, where we enjoyed delicious meals at Amaryllides and Thallasaki restaurants. A minimarket nearby provided basic necessities for breakfast etc. Bus tours picked us up on the main street nearby. Highly recommend staying here, would love to go back soon!

Perfect location, amazing view from the terrace! We were sad to leave such an great place

It’s hard to decide which is nicer: the apartment, the sea views or the owners. All are excellent. We were staggered at how lavishly Artemis had laid on groceries for us for when we arrived. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, clean and well appointed. The AC units in every room work really well, and the netting on the windows kept unwanted bugs to a minimum. The pool is kept spotlessly clean as a matter of honour and (warranted) pride by Illyrios. The showers in the bathrooms are powerful and have plenty of hot water. The fridge-freezer is spacious and works well, as do the other quality appliances such as washing machine, kettle and microwave. The views are soothing and the area quiet. The hosts live downstairs and are very respectful of guests’ privacy whilst at the same time being available to give help or any extras you might want in the kitchen. The beds are comfy and the linen spotless. Location is great if you have a car. Don’t give it a second thought: just come!
