Family-friendly vacation rentals in Africa

Candy’s place was amazing. Beautiful home and surroundings, fabulous sunset views. She was a great host and checked on us a few times, bringing small treats and flowers for us. I highly recommend staying here if you’re in Tenerife.

We had a wonderful time. The place was exactly as described and Theodoris was very responsive to our questions. He also arranged to have someone take our luggage to and from the place, which in Santorini that is a huge bonus!! I can’t forget the wine from his family’s vineyard he provided! The location is great as well!!

We stayed for just one night in this incredible cave house in Oia, and it was truly unforgettable! The location is perfect—right in the heart of Oia, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset, which we watched right from the terrace with a glass of wine in hand. The cave house itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully designed, blending traditional charm with modern comfort. We loved the unique architecture and how cool and quiet it stayed inside, even on a warm day. The bed was comfortable, the shower had great water pressure, and everything was spotless. Dimitri was welcoming and helpful, providing great local tips and making check-in seamless. Even though we only stayed one night, it was the highlight of our trip to Santorini. We’d love to come back for a longer stay next time! Highly recommend this special place for anyone!

Wow! I don’t even know where to start. The stay at Villa Amira was nothing short of incredible. It’s a beautiful house with a stunning Nile view and a courtyard with a private pool that is perfect for cooling off in the heat. We booked our driver, guide, and chef through Amira and it was by far our best experience in Egypt. Our guide, Z, was incredibly knowledgeable in Egyptology and was able to answer every question we had! We asked him to take us to his little coffee shop after a day of exploring Luxor (Elio Workshop & Cafe, go support the locals ☺️)! We had a private chef, Abdul, make such delicious meals every afternoon and evening and each one was better than the last! Lastly, Sonbol was a great host at the villa and helped us with everything we needed! I cannot say enough good things about this stay! It was the highlight of our trip!

We really loved returning to Amandalia farm, its so peaceful and relaxing. Solitude cottage is really well appointed and has so many fantastic convenient touches to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.

We truly loved our stay at this Airbnb in Fira, Santorini. We had six people comfortably sleep here. The pool and hot tub were amazing amenities on the beautiful multilevel outdoor space overlooking the Caldera. Centrally located on the island in the heart of the busy shopping/restaurant area however surprisingly not loud. One bedroom is open on a loft space so a bit less private for the couple who stayed in that room but still comfortable. We hiked to Oia on our first night, got there just in time for sunset! took us about 2:45hrs with stopping for photos and meandering the busy streets. We also rented ATVs to explore the rest of the island including Pyrgos and the beaches on the other side of the island. Aristotle was very responsive and helpful with booking us transfers for our group from Ferry and to airport. Highly recommend this Airbnb for your group stay in Santorini!!

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!

Great hosts….and a lovely chance to stay in a historic dwelling in a traditional neighborhood. There’s a rooftop deck, a jacuzzi, a beautiful kitchen, this place has it all!

The place was really clean and spacious, and with beautiful views. Dimitra was a very responsive and friendly host. Planning to come back next year!

Cute little Airbnb. Was perfect for the two of us. The area was quiet and a short walking distance to the tourist areas. Loved the balcony and the upstairs terrace. It was nice to enjoy a glass of wine in the afternoon on the balcony. Nikolaos was very responsive during our stay and even booked a taxi for us to the airport for our return.

We had a great time! I would happily recommend Klaus & Eva’s place to anyone. It was clean, close to a fantastic restaurant (Felix’s) and the view was spectacular! Klaus & Eva also left us a very nice welcome package consisting of wine, beer, cheese, ham and bread which we greatly appreciated, especially after a long day of travel! Many thanks to my hosts.

We can only reiterate all the other effusive comments about Yann’s place - The ‘Pavilon’ is the very best in tranquil luxury. Set on the other side of the pool in front of Yann and Bernard classically proportioned villa, the accommodation is beautifully furnished and decorated with comfort very much to the fore. Positionally, the Pavilon benefits from the cooling breeze from the sea and it’s only a 10 min walk, besides Marshan Park, into the historic kasbah. Yann is an excellent host and the breakfast provided each morning by his staff was delicious. We shall defintely return.

Loved our stay at Jesus’ place - it is beautifully presented and even better in person than in the pictures. Had everything we needed and appreciated the extra touches like water, crisps cans of drink etc on arrival - very thoughtful. The place is a great location - equal distance to old town and puerto banus so not too expensive by cab either way. The terrace is so gorgeous with lovely views and the pool is also lovely, clean and quiet. We will definitely be coming back.

A very pleasant stay in accommodation that matches the description in every way. A very convenient location and a very responsive host.

I fell in love with the place, it was just what I was looking for.

Amazing host and a beautiful place !

a wonderful time spent in this house. incredible view, sunsets at will. a quiet and rejuvenating place with the pool facing the sea...

An oasis away from the busy centre of Marrakech. The views were amazing from the gardens and pool, we loved sitting out there in the evenings. A local lady cooked for us and it was lovely, I’d recommend booking it. It was about 30/40 mins from the centre however, we didn’t have a car and were out in touch with a local taxi driver who was reliable and had a good rate. My young daughter loved the goats at the end of the garden and the tortoises roaming around. The village was peaceful and locals friendly. The local shop doesn’t sell much so I’d recommend stopping at the supermarket in the city before arriving.

Wonderful place. Beautiful house, nice interior with a perfect location directly at the beach. We will definitely come back to this place in case we are back in Cape Town.

We loved staying in Chantal’s riad! The space is truly beautiful and every room is so unique. Super fun staying in the Medina and being able to explore the surroundings areas - very central location. Booking transportation from the airport to the bnb was super helpful as well since it can be a bit difficult navigating through the Medina for the first time. Also highly recommended trying out the breakfast there - super fresh and it was the perfect start to our morning!! Highly recommend this riad for anyone visiting Marrakech :-)

A little treasure in Ouarzazate! We loved Marie’s place. It is enormous, bright and airy. Located very centrally but so peaceful and calm. Aziza the housekeeper makes a stunning breakfast every morning and keeps the place spotless. She is super friendly and accommodating. Marie is fantastic at responding and wants to make your stay the best it can be, she is very hospitable.

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.

Heino and Christo's place was a little oasis during our first time in Cape Town. The apartment was safe and secure and had all of the amenities one needed with a supermarket, cafe's and restaurants within walking distance. The hosts were responsive to any requests or needs that we had during our stay and even assisted us with finding other accommodation when our flights were changed, and they had another booking.

Second stay at Eliane's. Still so many superlatives. I would highly recommend it. Eliane is a quality host, enjoy a great experience in Abidjan.
