Family-friendly vacation rentals in Eastern Europe

My girlfriend and I adored this place. The houseboat design is beautiful and offered everything we wanted - a beautiful deck overlooking the water, private sleeping spaces, a sauna, nature everywhere, and a kind host. In fact, Ulrica tops my list of favorite hosts. She gave us great tips but also lots of space. I hope to be back!

Hi y'all We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing vacation with Karin, Leon & Marcus. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and always easy to reach. In addition, we were able to rent the fishing boats, which was perfect for us. The house was super equipped and the surroundings were beautiful. Love to come back! :)

Clean place the owner was wonderful

Excellent. A very special house for nature lovers. Secluded in a private bay. You can only hear the birds and the sea. Sunset included. Very nice host. He even caught fresh fish and prepared it deliciously. Unforgettable stay.

The villa is exactly as shown in the pictures and the description, which is really wonderful. Everything was really neat and the decor was so beautiful, the fresh flowers were wonderful, and the fresh fruit and chocolate were a happy surprise. The kitchen equipment was really good and there was a choice of beautiful dishes, I was able to make beautiful table settings. The beds were good to sleep in and had beautiful sheets. We enjoyed the lovely beach sauna and the warm hot tub. The dog was also taken into account and had food/drink cups and a small towel. All instructions were clear and Petra responded quickly. I'm sure we'll be back here again.

Not much to say other than it was a great stay in great surroundings and Langlia did not disappoint. We felt at home from the moment we opened the door and sad the moment we left. Staffan was there virtually when we needed him and you can feel that he cares in all the instructions prior, upon arrival and during stay. Pleasure!

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!

My whole family was obsessed with this place. The adults loved the beautiful scenery and the peacefulness and the kids loved the hot tub and the swings. The house is adorable and very nice and the views were even better than the pictures. We loved meandering around Humac and being close to so many interesting small villages to explore. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat on the island of Hvar, you will be hard pressed to find something better than Mario’s place.

During our trip through Poland, we stumbled across Iwona's accommodation by chance. We couldn't have had a better experience. Iwona is an incredibly warm host, and the cottage is inviting and well-equipped. We particularly enjoyed the regular visits from her furry four-legged friends. Iwona gave us excellent tips on where to eat and which lakes were worth visiting. The accommodation itself was equipped with everything we needed and was very clean. We had a peaceful stay and would love to come back. We can highly recommend a stay at this beautiful cottage to anyone. Wonderful person, wonderful place, wonderful accommodation. Thank you, dear Iwona, for sharing this with us.

We had a lovely stay at the ranch! We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable. The place was as described, very cozy. Communication in advance and during the stay was quick and friendly. Only the directions were a bit confusing, but after a few detours we found everything.

The most beautiful and peaceful place on Gotland. The studio is well equipped and easy to find everything you need.

I had the most fantastic stay at the apartment. I booked for a last minute stay and couldn't have been happier with my decision to stay here. It was beautiful, spotlessly clean, quiet and in a fantastic location right by the opera house. The balcony was a real bonus and was a lovely place to sit and eat my breakfast every morning. The hosts were really responsive and extremely helpful. I loved my stay here, was desperately sad to leave and will absolutely love to come back!!

We had a very enjoyable short stay at Matti's peaceful lake front cottage. He is a very thoughtful and responsive host. Regret that we did not fire up the sauna... We highly recommend a Lakeland GTE quiet electric boat tour with Arto. We took the three hour Cruise in Puumala by Lake Samiaa. We saw two of the rare seals, an osprey nest, and learned a lot about the seals, Finnish culture, and had a great time. The guesthouse is across the lake from Puumala village, which is a short drive or walk on the bridge and take an elevator down to the village. We also recommend the Kalakontti Puumala fish truck in the village near the shore for excellent street food.

Peter and his family are very nice and warm, I immediately felt comfortable. The cottage is as described, small, rustic, cozy, surrounded by nature and with fantastic views. I really enjoyed my stay here and can fully recommend the cottage as well as the host.

The cottage and yard area matched the description. In the sauna, you could enjoy good steam and go to your own beach for swimming. Frederic was friendly, considerate and flexible. He showed us the places and offered us different options for barbecuing, as the weather was a little rainy. Everything went well and we had a nice Midsummer at the place, thank you!

We were guests in Johan's beautiful cottage on the island of Svanö for about two weeks together with our dog. The cottage is quietly located in a forest, we felt very comfortable from the beginning. The accommodation is a great base for excursions to Höga Kusten. You can quickly reach one of the numerous hiking trails in the region, e.g. in Skuleskogen National Park. Johan as a host is highly recommended. From the beginning, he kindly and reliably provided us with all the necessary information and also gave numerous helpful tips for activities.

Our family, and especially our kids (ages 17-23), loved Mia's place. Plenty of room for all five of us, a beautiful yard/garden, and fantastic pool that we used multiple times a day. While a little outside of the city center, it was an easy walk to the tram and a quick trip in. Stadium, zoo, cafe, grocery, and a few restaurants are also very close by. Easy check-in, great host communication/responsiveness, and gated driveway parking. Loved the pastries/desserts too - thank you! Could not recommend more.

Super nice and cozy cottage. Especially the beautiful garden with swimming pool were a huge plus, especially for our energetic sons. The house is quietly located in a beautiful area, yet close enough to everything (car). We greatly enjoyed this beautiful residence with our family.

Milos was a fantastic host, very friendly and welcoming, and flexible regarding the check-in and -out times. His brother even brought us to the location with his own car, since I don’t drive, which was really great. The Old Mill is such a gem, it’s very authentic and the views from the balcony are just breathtaking, especially at the sunset. The pool area and the garden are also a very unique and a beautiful addition to the whole experience. Having a car is advisable, but if you don’t drive (like myself) there are local drivers, which will bring you to wherever you wish for a reasonable price.

We had an amazing stay here! Zeljko was extremely responsive and helpful. The pool was great and location was quiet with short walk to old town. Would stay here again!

Located about 30 mins by bus outside Dubrovnik it us definitely worth the extra effort. The view from the patio is stunning and there is everything you need provided. If you are looking to escape the manic main areas and don't want an all-inclusive experience this is it. the villa is on a main route direct to the old town and if you buy the dubrovnik pass the bus is free. There is a faily steep walk and a fair few steps to reach the villa so you need to be fit but you can use bolt or taxi to the property. great value for money

We stayed at the apartment for 7 nights and we had a fantastic holiday. Ivona and Michael were amazing hosts. Micheal recommend plenty of day trips, restaurants and sightseeing spots. Michael gave us a tour of the apartment and pool area and helped with anything we needed. Ivona was very responsive and helped us arrange our return transfers. We loved all of the little special touches in the apartment, felt like home away home. This apartment and the hosts exceeded our expectations. Location is perfect! Thank you!

The villa is a gem. The views are unbelievable, the peacefulness was amazing and there are not enough words for the amount of help Diana gave us. Diana waited for us with fruit, charcuterie board, drinks and home made pastry. She set up all the transportation we requested and gave us suggestions of things to do. She even brought us flour at 9:00 pm so we can make crepes. The only thing that you can’t do is walk to places. So, if you are a walker and want a lot of things to do all day, you might want to pick a different villa. We spent time enjoying the views and peacefulness and had time to go sightseeing.

An idyll with stunning views. You could feel the calm the same second you got up on the large balcony. Everything you could possibly need was in place and Christoffer was alert and quick to respond to questions and also very helpful when we had forgotten a gift in the house. Here is everything you want, barbecue, kitchen, utensils, views, things to do, a fantastic service mind and even a jacuzzi to watch the lovely sunset in. I can only highly recommend an overnight stay (or more) in this lovely place!
