Cottage holiday rentals in Southern Europe

A big thank you for this magical stay in your cottage! Your warm welcome and this haven of peace offered us a real breath of serenity. Nestled in the heart of nature, we were seduced by the soothing view and tranquility of the garden. The cottage, comfortable and of exemplary cleanliness, was perfect for recharging. We highly recommend this address to lovers of tranquility and nature, and also advise you to be tempted by the host's cooking, who took us on a journey through an absolutely delicious meal. We can't wait to come back soon!

We felt at home, comfortable, and relaxed. We enjoyed the garden, and our dog was happy. Nothing was missing. Very comfortable bed.

It was a great stay, the house is super cozy, the place is super quiet for those looking to relax and have peace. A great garden, and a jacuzzi. I would like to highlight the reception of Mrs. Ilda, who was very friendly. A house and place I recommend to everyone!

We had a lovely stay at Casa Farfaglia— the space is gorgeous inside and out, and it was the perfect place to unwind at the end of our trip after lots of travel and bustle. Thank you Fabio for being so communicative, kind, and warm. We truly felt welcomed and taken care of, and will long remember the bounty of wildflowers, our adorable cow neighbors, and the pleasure of slowing down in such a beautiful setting.

Very nice house, peaceful place. The host was very kind, very proactive and had lots of recommendations. They took also very good care of us. They brought us some cake one evening, asked if we needed tomatoes or anything else. When we went home we got a nice present from them with products from the area.

We loved our stay at Pietro and Pina, felt like a paradise. We were welcomed with amazing food and wine, became friends with all the pets, and enjoyed the house with great views a lot. Thank you!

Worth every single penny. Looking for a stay that is close enough to the lake so you can explore as much as you want, to then relax in a quiet & peaceful sanctuary of your own, after your hours of exploring to re-energise? Then this is the place for you! The views to the lake and hills are breathtaking, we found ourselves gazing across the mountain & lake regularly from our bedroom balcony. It is soley setup to help you relax as much as possible. The space has been created perfectly. The daily grind of our busy work lives started to disappear on day 1. This usually takes a while to dissipate. Saying Luca & Marina are attentive hosts is a huge understatement! They were on the end of a wh4tsapp message from welcoming us to their home before the trip, to asking if we got home okay. Nothing was too much trouble and answered us straight away. Never too imposing either, a great balance. Marina is also an amazing cook, we had our best food here! (especially the ravioli) Lake Como gem !

Our stay was absolutely lovely! The space is exactly as pictured and advertised. We used the pools, games, and enjoyed private space. Although the property is connected to the family’s private home, you feel secluded and privacy while safe knowing you’re close to them as locals - they did an incredible job designing the space. This spot is the perfect location to explore Provence. Morgane had great recommendations and set us up for a wonderful trip. Cucuron and Ansouis are within 5 miles and perfect for food or pastries. The peacefulness, opportunity for adventure inside and outside the property, and Morgane’s attentiveness make this one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at. Would highly recommend this beautiful property!

Honestly…what could you not say about this place, it’s absolutely beautiful, the views are just stunning, the house is immaculate and the hosts have literally thought of everything you need, including sending some local knowledge and how to find the place beforehand. We had an absolutely amazing week, it was so relaxing and the furniture available to relax is just brilliant, there’s so many options….the egg chair was a massive bonus addition to just relax in. The hot tub is a bonus, especially of an evening watching the sunset. There are a few local villages nearby, you could walk to them but be mindful of no paths or lights of a night, they were a bit far for my 8 year old who isn’t a major fan of walking 😄 it’s a good drive up the mountain, so hire a decent car, but for the views and tranquility…100% worth it! We hope to be back again, loved it so much 😁

A haven of peace, green setting, with superb views of the sea, the islands of Elafonisos and Cythera. Ideal to unwind. The small town of Néapoli, after several turns on a good road, offers the essentials (food shops, cafes, taverns, etc.). Kimo's tips were excellent and the tours of the property's kitty were affectionate.

Very nice cortijo in the middle of nature, with a large fenced plot, ideal when traveling with a dog. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor kitchen, which is very convenient. We had a great time together! There are a lot of places to visit in the area and the region is really great. The house has all the amenities you need. The only negative point was the mattress, which we did not find very comfortable and which is a little small for 2 adults. Thank you very much Miguel for your welcome and kindness during our meeting.

Lovely and magical spot in a unique cove on Mallorca’s magical west side. The drive down isn’t for the faint of heart, but I quite enjoyed it. We loved walking into the port to eat or enjoy sunset. Also, the outdoor spaces are incredible!

For anyone looking to explore Northern Mallorca, Finca Can Pontico is the perfect spot to enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature, but also have quick & easy access to town. Upon arrival at the estate, my wife & I were quickly blown away by the picturesque property with a mountain range backdrop. Set amongst lemon, orange & olive trees, and towering palm & cypress trees, this beautiful stone home is an amazing place to find peace. Gotzon & his family were incredible hosts, and the hospitality shown to us was unmatched. I truly can’t say enough about how beautiful it was. Don’t miss out on this quintessential Mallorcan experience!

Caterina and Francesco’s home is peaceful and picturesque. We were fortunate enough to share an evening with their parents, Nino and Dina, who not only made delicious food but are kind, funny and beautiful people. This is a very special place and I hope to return someday. Thank you again to the whole family, it has been one of the highlights of our road trip.

Such a great stay, beautiful location and accommodation was top tier. We will definitely stay again!

We had a magical stay at Ottavio's estate. After a warm welcome and very extensive, helpful tips for the area, there was only one thing left for us to do: slow down. The quiet location in the middle of nature is ideal for completely switching off. There's nothing missing! The cottage was cozily furnished, the bed very comfortable & contrary to our expectations there were few insects. The bedroom is very cool and dark - perfect for relaxing nights. We particularly liked that our dog could live out his freedom, our and Ottavio's dog were really friends and played every day. Thank 😊 you very much for the wonderful time! Gladly again! ✨

We had a wonderful time at Tom's! The house is lovingly furnished, super clean and totally cozy – especially the two fireplaces make it really cozy on cool days. The location is fantastically quiet with great views, which we enjoyed every day from the terrace. It was particularly nice that we could watch the animals from the terrace - cows, sheep, cats and many birds. Communication with Tom was great, uncomplicated and very friendly. Ideal for relaxing and hiking. We will be happy to come back!

My family truly enjoyed our stay at Mas de Lluvia. The home itself is incredible and set so beautifully into the environment. We loved that it was peaceful and relaxing. My children enjoyed the home’s proximity to the river and were most content just hanging out at the house. Marissa is a welcoming, accommodating host. She had local products such as cheese, wine, and pastries waiting for us, which was so thoughtful. The Matarrana area is such a unique and part of Spain to explore and we feel grateful for our experience there!

Marieangela is a sweet and responsive host, she has a good heart. We absolutely enjoyed our stay in the house, which is remote but you are well immersed in nature. The house has large rooms and is comfortable. We will return!

Alison and Costas are a dream team. Excellent hosts with a beautiful chateau for you to enjoy. Aline is great too. You’ll have a wonderful and relaxing stay. Great food and activity recommendations in the booklet. Be sure to visit all the markets you can, and try and eat at Le Flores- which was the perfect lazy lunch venue.

It was a lovely stay, nice and clean house. Amazing place and a friendly host

Thanks to Diogo and Ana for a very unique stay in an authentic environment that the two of you are obviously passionate about preserving. It offered simple living in a peaceful location and it gave us a taste of what life was like here without ever feeling like this was just put on for us as tourists. It's a real community. Delicious bread and other treats could be found hanging outside the door every morning. The local animals were delightful. Ericeira, a beautiful fishing town with surfing, fresh seafood, and beaches is only a short drive away if you want a change of scenery. Just a lovely stay.

Beautiful villa. Lovely pool and terrace. Good amount of seating and sunbeds and a hammock too! BBQ area is great as well. Beds were very comfy. And Jose Miguel very responsive to all the questions asked! Would definitely return :)

Myself and my sister had a great time staying in Casa Carolina. The cottage is deceivingly spacious and the view from the terrace is simply beautiful. It was really hot but plenty fans available (no oven for cooking but would've probably been too hot anyway!!) Have visited Albufeira many times and the cottage was the best location yet, fabulous 👌
