Hoogwater Cottage

NataschaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A beautifully peaceful spot to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks on the farm, and stargazing from the hot tub. The accommodation was clean and cozy. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bathroom was neat with a large shower.

Las Lagunas country house in Tunte

MikeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Elena’s place was well provisioned and a home away from home. The outside patio was spectacular with lounges, chairs, tables, hot tub, and even a ping pong table! The one challenge was the windy roads getting there. Extraordinary scenery, but keep your eye on the road! Great home base for rock climbing at Fataga and Sorrueda.

Tropical Lovers - Levada & Bananas cliff

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We absolutely loved our stay here! Absolutely beautiful location and it was quiet and peaceful. It was a great place to come relax mid-day between adventures, and we loved using the jacuzzi at the end of the day after hiking and exploring Madeira! Gomes also gave great recommendations and we really enjoyed some of his restaurant recommendations and a local poncha bar. If we ever come back we would definitely stay here again!

Cosy stone house with mountain view in Olympos

HumayunRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very quiet and remote stone house. It’s a plot with three houses but it is still very private. Lovely view of the mountains and scenery from the back porch and from the jacuzzi. You will need use taxis or have your own transport to get there - there are no public transport options. It’s a lovely place for a couple to get away from it all and relax. Stock up on some shopping on your way there. Olimpos beach and the ruins are ten minutes away by taxi.

Cottage Pearl-Rural Holiday Experience by SeaPearl

CarstenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Everything was exactly as described and in the photos. Requests were responded to immediately. The place was very clean. The bed could be a little higher quality (if I turned around the whole bed wobbled and my wife was awake). Otherwise everything was great.

Whale Cove Cottage -Oceans, Whales, Sunrises!

PeterRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I have been to many hotels and appartments all over the world: This one is the winner in the category "Unusual and spectacular"! The view is unbeatable and the place has a very relaxed atmosphere. Keep in mind, two of the beds are upstairs with a very steep ladder, we decided to not use them and sleep downstairs in the main living room. Also bring some earplugs, the sea can be very noisy, the appartment is just a stone-throw away. All in all: 5*****

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful Airbnb. The surrounding views were gorgeous. The indoor fireplace was an amazing addition, and kept us cozy. We had a close encounter with one of the infamous baboons, so just remember to always keep the doors and windows closed.

Tabobo Cottage

FrancescaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Montse was very kind and welcoming. He gave us excellent advice on places to visit, suggesting above all less touristy places. In a week, we leisurely explored a good part of the island. The house, essential but well-equipped, is in a quiet location 1 km from Tinajo, a town with all the services. Thanks to its location, it is a good base for exploring the island. 20/40 minutes by car from the main attractions. We did not enjoy the courtyard because the weather was not sunny during our stay, but on the other hand we practiced yoga in the yurt with the guidance of Montse who is a very good teacher, even for beginners. Very pleasant stay, highly recommended.

Country house in Anaga

MegRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We loved our stay here in Los Carbonaras. The house was beautiful, functional, and had everything we needed. The only note for other people is to know the walls in the bedrooms don't go all the way up so you can hear each others (watch out for snores!). But it absolutely did not detract from the experience. We had a lot of fun cooking in the kitchen and enjoying the ourside terrace. The views from the place are stunning and it is a great location to explore the area by foot. The property is part of a small farm and Yanira's mother was an attentive neighbor who let us have some of their fresh grown spinach. They also left us some fresh eggs and fruit in the house. We really enjoyed the walks between the villages, which we mostly did on the road since there were so few cars. Nature was right on the doorstep, with plenty of birds, butterflies and plants to satisfy us nature nerds. We would absolutely come back in a heartbeat.

Tandala Cottage

ClaudiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay at Frankie’s cottage—such a peaceful and special place surrounded by nature. The garden is beautiful and well cared for, and the house has everything you need for a relaxing break. On our drive in at night, we were lucky enough to spot bat-eared foxes, which was such a magical surprise! We also had some car trouble, and Frankie recommended a reliable mechanic. Thanks to her help, we were able to get everything sorted and make it back to Nairobi without a problem. Frankie is a fabulous host—warm, thoughtful, and always ready to help. We’d love to come back!

Cosy "Off-the-Grid" cottage in the Little Karoo

SueRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our weekend stay at Ilse was everything we had hoped for and perhaps more. The home has everything you need and is full of rustic charm and authenticity. The setting is just so utterly beautiful and peaceful. We loved sitting round the fire outside at night marvelling at the sky.. just out of this world. Indoors is equally inviting and comfortable. We also enjoyed fabulous walks where we saw plenty of wildlife though we saw quite a lot just relaxing on the stoep too.. I am sure we will be back again soon to explore more! Thank you Ilse.

Hanepoot Cottage on Franschhoek farm

SophieRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We loved our stay at Hanepoot cottage. Rina provides everything you need from extra blankets to firewood to tea and coffee, milk and water. Beds were comfy and the shower great. We loved the location, such great views of the mountains. We had a little trouble with the WiFi which Rina tried her best to resolve, but I would suggest making sure you have mobile data just in case you need it. Overall a fantastic stay and highly recommend.
