Apartment holiday rentals in Southern Europe

Harald’s place, right in the heart of Ruzafa, is such a perfect location from which to venture out and see Valencia. Most things are only a :20 walk, including the old city, the Grand Market, La Lonja, the Micalet, and even the Calatrava Palace of Arts & Science. But Ruzafa is also buzzing with nightlife, great restaurants, and culture. And, there’s an awesome market - Mercado De Ruzafa - about a one minute walk up the road. We stayed here for a week while chaperoning our son who was at a local camp. My husband and I ventured out most days and then he worked remotely during the evenings. We couldn’t have found a more perfect, comfortable, safe, fun, and all-around fantastic place than Harald’s. (@Harald - Thank you for letting us stay at your place and for answering some of our more unusual questions about what life is like living in Valencia! Your place is great, comfortable, and we love your design aesthetic!!)

We absolutely loved our stay and would stay here again if ever in Bordeaux! Every detail was thought out in the apartment and you will want for nothing. I was beyond impressed with all the extra amenities they provided. Plus having a great AC unit in the 90+ degree weather was amazing!

We had a great stay at Isabella Beach! It is very close to the beach and has very accessible parking. The Airbnb itself came with many amenities allowing us to cook at home 2 of our 4 nights. We loved hanging outside and it was a great stay overall. The only place of improvement was the smell of the bathroom. They tried to cover it with air fresheners but it was pretty hard being in the bathroom for a long period of time.

This is a beautiful apartment. It is in pristine condition. It is spotless and smells beautiful. Everything is new. All the windows are double glazed with mosquito netting. Air conditioning is very good. There is an air con unit in the bedroom and kitchen. All the appliances worked. It is set on a steep hill so if you are a little unsteady on your feet care is needed but once you are up or down the incline the rest of Orvieto is flat and walkable. The reserved parking place in the car park is not in numerical order so it took a while to locate it. Also do stick to the right hand lane when entering the car park as instructed. It really is such a beautiful town, particularly at night when it is very atmospheric. The Duomo is stunning. Ate at Le Cocco and Osteria Mama Angela. Both good meals. Simona has thought really hard about kitting the apartment out. There is everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay.

Renato is an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and attentive. His apartment is truly one of a kind: a beautiful space steeped in history and rich with culture. Every corner tells a story, making the stay feel like more than just a visit—it’s an experience. And the view? Absolutely breathtaking, a sight that outshines anything you’ll see all day. Just a heads-up: be ready for quite a few stairs—but trust me, the charm at the top is well worth the climb.

The apartment is lovely, looks exactly like the photos. Very nice beds, linen and towels. We were really happy with the place and the perfect location if you want to be in the centre of Palermo. Only issue is the noise. I thought it would be ok since we were there Sunday to Wednesday but it was very noisy every night. Possibly all of central Palermo would have the same problem. Also check the suitability of the stairs and railing if you have small children.

It was even more wonderful than we expected. The location, so close to the grand canal, yet so quiet, wonderful local places to eat, breakfast through dinner and into the late evening... Absolutely worth every penny. Recommend highly! It was my fourth trip to Venice, my husband's first. I wanted something wonderful for him on our 25th wedding anniversary trip and he loved it!

My mother and I booked this beautiful accommodation for a weeks break. The location is on the edge of town in a peaceful area with lovely views. Nearby there were three local restaurants which all served affordable delicious food and a couple of small bars, one of which was on the beach and boasted to have the best views of the sunset - which was not an understatement! The penthouse was perfect with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay, including the hot tub with views out to sea. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the beds were so comfortable! Our host Josefa was lovely too! Communication was so easy and with quick responses. We had an early flight in to Malta which was no problem at all as Josefa offered us an early self check in as the penthouse was all ready for us with some lovely welcome goodies too! If you’re looking for a peaceful location away from the busy hustle of Malta this penthouse on Gozo is for you 😊

Beautiful apartment and location. Very peaceful. One of the shower drains is quite slow and we had to shut off the water mid-shower and wait for it to drain. Other than that it’s a picturesque town.

This is one of the nicest AirBnB Area that we have stayed in Tuscany. Fantastic view, Beautiful Sunrise, Great place to do Road cycling and have supper restaurant at nearby town Asciano.

Claudia’s apartment is right in the heart of the action on a bustling street. Still easy to sleep like a baby (new windows, good sound protection). The unit is comfortable, clean, beautiful. Not huge in size, but great for a few nights. Bed was very comfy. Nice pillows 🫶

Manuela is a wonderful, polite and friendly host, and her holiday home is one of the most beautiful and romantic places we've ever stayed. Every space in the house is full of charm, and the terrace overlooking the paradise views is a place of calm and peace. We were lucky enough to wake up to birdsong and the singing of nuns in a local church. The whole town of Spello is beautiful, and the people are so friendly. Thank you so much to Manuela for being the best host we've ever had! I can't recommend this place enough.

Mavi’s place was just as described: a beautiful location with very comfortable spacious accommodations and stunning lake views from both balconies. Mavi was an attentive host with great local recommendations for dining, swimming and sights to see. Mavi and her mother Carla also helped us make dinner reservations, saved us from a parking faux pas, and picked us up when no taxis were available. They were such thoughtful and kind hosts, and we highly recommend Mavi’s place.

Very nice place and host ! I recommend

Our stay in Montepulciano was amazing in part because of this amazing flat. It was hot when we stayed but the ac was ice cold. The bathrooms and laundry were perfect. The terrace was really nice and even though it was hot when we visited it was nice to sit out with the family and enjoy a glass of wine. We were early but they let us check in a bit earlier than the posted time. We met Orazio at his art gallery and he took us in and showed us around. We were traveling with our 2 teen kids and they shared the second bedroom where there was a sofa bed and a double bed but the room was huge so they didn’t complain about sharing. The town is amazing and we had our nicest meal of the trip at Osteria Del Borgo. Make a reservation it’s worth it. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Matteo’s place has a really breathtaking view ! It’s also very quiet and peaceful. Also close to PSS via the shortcut. We had a wonderful time. Don’t miss a trip to Giglio !

Anna was a fantastic host, who treated us with the upmost respect and kindness. While her place is a bit difficult to find at first, once you're there, you're in one of the most beautiful scenes we've seen during our time in Italy. Also, it was close enough that we were still early able to travel into Florence each day we were there. Anna was so nice in providing us with breakfast each morning, which included apricot jam from her fruit trees and homemade bread. We would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quiet place to stay outside of the busy city.

beautiful location. i prefer varnessa to belagio. flat is just the right size for a couple. if there's anything I want to mention is that it's in a much higher location than I expected. one would definitely need a car for more frequent visit to the town below. the host is so friendly and always available and responsive.

This is place is great for people who love the beach . Walkable to a lot beach beach club but away from the noise. Host is very responsive and very helpful . Super clean, the Private pool with a view and the bar service is outstanding. Everything is outstanding highly recommended.

apartment was clean and well maintained. Yannis went out of his way to set us up with transportation from the airport to his apartment. and then again from the apartment to the port for our cruise. Very helpful. would definitely stay here again. lots of stuff to see locally.

What a unique place!!! We absolutely loved it.

Thanks to Rémi for this stay. Clear explanations, a responsive host, a superb apartment with a breathtaking view.

We loved our stay at Nieves place, the apartment was just as described and suited us down to the ground. Thank you for having us 😊

We can absolutely recommend it! Everything is as described in the text and as shown in the photos. Located about 2 km outside the totally cute village of Casole de Elsa. Andrea + Barbara provided all the necessary information for the journey and many great tips on site, always with the corresponding links. For example, our arrival was delayed to about 10:15 pm due to traffic. Was no problem, we were in contact and when we arrived, Andrea personally received us. And if we had a question during our stay, an answer always came very quickly. (Where is the best place to park in Siena, how do you best get to Florence, ...)
