Waterfront holiday rentals in Southern Europe

My family of 5, two parents and 3 adult children, all enjoyed our time in Matt's lovely apartment. There was plenty of space for all of us, lovely views and a welcome bottle of wine! What more could we ask for?

Everything was incredible. Perfect place .

We had an unforgettable stay at Tina and Fredy's. The view from the accommodation is simply breathtaking, a real little corner of paradise in the middle of nature! The accommodation is beautiful and very clean. Tina and Fredy are lovely hosts, very available and always ready to help or answer our questions. We recommend this accommodation without hesitation and hope to be able to come back one day! Once again, thank you for everything 😍

Maria Sofia’s 2-bedroom penthouse must have the best view in all of Bogliasco. We wanted to spend all our time looking out at that view day and night! It’s spectacular. The unit is comfortably furnished, with everything you need. If you’re used to boxes of facial tissue or kitchen paper towels, & bottled water, there’s a Basko supermarket nearby. Furnishings are full of character—with vintage cameras, ships in bottles, even a vintage telescope! Plants, baskets, & cushions make the place homey. Lots of lovely restaurants & cafes within 10-15 minutes of walking, & so is the charming town center, with a piazza, church, stone bridge, wall art, green grocers, bakeries, & a gelateria with incredible gelato. My brother & I highly recommend Just Peruzzi, which has the most amazing & delicious Trofie pesto. Liguria is credited with inventing pesto, & at Peruzzi, you can really believe it! This was a wonderful vacation. Book early! This place is booked solid for the next 5 months!

Raquel is one of the most communicative and responsive hosts I’ve ever interacted with on Airbnb. The location of this home is unbelievable. I fell in love with Albufeira from the first few hours i was there, and couldn’t believe how well-situated this place was to all the fun the area has to offer. ACs and most amenities worked well. I’m not sure if it’s a design related to homes in that area, but the open bathroom in the master bedroom, including the shower design, seemed impractical. I needed to rearrange items in that area, and wipe the floor/toilet after every shower. The iron was unusable due to a stain on the ironing surface, and risk of damaging clothes. The washing machine was small and not very effective. We needed to do a lot of loads to clean our clothes, then air dry them, but glad we had a washer! Overall, this is a great place, Raquel’s a great host, and i recommend booking, for anyone visiting Albufeira. Great for 2 ppl, but could accommodate a couple more too. Enjoy!

The location is amazing— right next to the beach and the markets, and lots of restaurants and shops in the old city. There are many bars open late all around the apartment. The place was very clean and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. Our host was very helpful and responsive.

Amazing location!! Amazing apartment!! We loved every second of our stay here and would definitely recommend it. Beautiful views of the ocean and delicious restaurants super close by. 10/10.

An incredible place! The location was perfect and the apartment was stunning.

A 5-star experience! Renato’s house is beautiful, perfectly located and he is kind and the communication is seamless. We highly recommend it and would definitely come back! Unforgettable!

It was a wonderful experience. It is a great comfort to leave the kitchen and swim in the sea for a holiday with children. We found all the equipment my baby, who started a new supplementary food, needed in the kitchen.

We had a very nice stay! The view is lovely, it”s so great to be so close to the sea! We had the best shower in days and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Mohammed!

Our stay in Cala Llombards was absolutely perfect. The home is stunning—spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. But the real highlight is the location: just meters from the beach, with breathtaking views overlooking the crystal-clear blue waters. Waking up to the sound of the sea and enjoying coffee on the terrace with that view was truly unforgettable. It’s a peaceful, idyllic spot that feels like a hidden gem. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!

The stay was great, the house is especially worth it for the view and proximity to Arrifana beach. It has the essentials for a good vacation. An experience to repeat

Josipa’s incredible space is only matched by her warm, wonderful hospitality. We were floored when we saw the views—exactly as stunning as the photos promised—but even more impressed with the intentional style + atmosphere of the impeccable space she has created. We were so glad we got to meet her in person and chat a bit, she is a ray of sunshine and warmth and made us feel so welcomed. The hardest part was leaving—especially after coming home to the apartment to find the sweetest bowl of fresh cherries she’d left for us. A very very special place.

We highly recommend. The cottage is ideal for 2 persons persons. Very neat and clean. The communication with the host was fantastic. Very quick to respond, gave all kinds of good tips for the region. A rental car is necessary. The location is quiet, you share the grounds with two other accommodations, but the garden is private.

We have been to many countries so far. We visited Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Bułgaria, Canada,France but this place is the best . The house is very comfortable, cosy ,well equipped and it has its unique style.The garden is beautifull. We will always remember amazing sunsets and sunrises, the birds drinking water from the pool, the scent od flowers and plants.We used the pool few times a day. It was cleaned regulary. Kostas is a great host. We do appreciate his kindnese, care, generosity and hospitality. He gave us advice what is worth seeng, visiting. He even went with us to the town to do shopping. Kostas showed where we should buy the best vegetables, fruit, jest. Whatever you need he is always for you. Don't hesitate, just come to Dafni and spend gorgeous holidays.

Beautiful apartment in a great location. Amazing sea views. Quiet area but close to town. And Jennifer is a great host.

Everything as it is described. Fast and good responsive host.

This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful apartment. Everything is very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked brilliantly. Anything you ask about the host responds quickly. It's a great spot to watch the sunsets. It's about a 20 min walk to Salou centre, a little hilly but you can always get a taxi or bus part of the way. We will happily stay there again.

We had a fantastic week at Anita’s apartment in Praia da Rocha. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome – Anita and Antonio had left a generous guest pack including ham, cheese, wine, milk, water, biscuits and crisps, which was a lovely and thoughtful touch after our journey. The apartment itself is bright, spotless, and has spectacular views across the beach – which, pleasantly, wasn’t too busy during our stay. The location is excellent, with a great selection of bars and restaurants just a short walk away. Anita and Antonio were outstanding hosts – friendly, responsive, and clearly committed to making sure their guests have everything they need. Their detailed information pack was really helpful, and they were always quick to answer any questions we had. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this apartment – it’s a perfect base for a relaxing stay in Praia da Rocha. Thank you, Anita and Antonio, for your warm hospitality and kindness!

We loved the house and location. Super helpful host.

We booked because another guest's review said "just go for it" and I would offer the same advice to others. We had a great time enjoying coffee & wine on the terrace while watching boat traffic on the Grand Canal. Although there are Vaporetto stops nearby, we walked almost everywhere we went and it was great to explore the neighborhood. For a quiet night in, stop by Fried Land (just around the corner) for excellent take-out pasta.

Loved it. Really recommend. Just make sure you can handle the 150 steps to go up & down!🕺🏻💃🏼

One of the Best Stays I’ve Ever Had – Simply Outstanding! It was my first time staying at this apartment and here’s my honest review. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible this apartment is. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away. The space is absolutely spotless and brand new everything feels so fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Every little detail has been taken care of. It’s fully stocked with everything you could possibly need: high-quality toiletries, soft bathrobes, plenty of fresh towels, kitchen essentials you name it, it’s there. And the view is breathtaking doesn’t even begin to cover it. Waking up to that endless sea view each morning felt like a dream. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at peace. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony or just relaxing inside, the ocean is right there, giving you a sense of calm and luxury all at once.
