Cottage vacation rentals in Francavilla al Mare

Our family’s stay at Žarko’s place in Rudina was incredible. We felt right at home during our two week stay. The town of Rudina is quaint and lovely and we felt very welcomed by the locals. With Stari Grad just a short drive down the hill, it was very easy to get to the market, bakery, or restaurants when desired while still enjoying the peace and quiet of the hills outside of town. Our children enjoyed many days and evenings playing in the beautiful gardens. Žarko and his family are lovely hosts and we will surely come back to visit again someday.

This was the perfect base for my young family of four- close enough to drive into Ostuni, Cisternino, and all of Puglia's small towns but also in a private location of its own, far away from the tourist crowds. We were able to join the fray but also detach at the end of the day and enjoy quiet afternoons and evenings at Marilla's beautiful place. Maria was very responsive and helped me with little extras that made our stay smoother and more enjoyable. It was like having a local contact, thank you very much!

For us as a family of 4 with not very young children, it was optimal. The balcony offered meals with a super view, and also the pool was perfect for cooling off.

Wonderful place, in the middle of the olive groves, we enjoyed the beautiful view and the nice garden every day, where our dog could roam freely. Absolutely recommended, with the note that the access road is poor and very steep, so you do have to dare to drive a bit.

If we could give Gina, Viki and Noa 10 stars we would! Absolutely amazing place to stay for our honeymoon. The host were quick to respond to any queries we had, left us with a few welcome gifts in the fridge and Gina was there to meet us on check in. We’d never experienced this level of hospitality before in an Airbnb and we cannot thank you enough. Cavtat is such a beautiful place and we highly recommend anyone to stay at the cottage. We’re already planning our next visit and will look forward to seeing the very friendly cats who we fed everyday. The hot tub was a massive bonus and just what you need after a busy day of exploring. Thank you, Gary, Claire and Jess.

Staying at Marina'a place was a dream. It was a truly wonderful experience, in which you are tucked away on the hillside surrounded by olive trees and lovely views of the rolling topography and sea. The intention of the landscaping, layout, and amenities of the cottage satisfied every possible need and more, making for a tranquil holiday. Marina is by far the best host we've ever encountered. She was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. It was a delight to talk with her and learn a bit about her travels and life on the island. Don't miss the opportunity to connect with her!

This is an amazing spot. Lovely. Smells like florals. So incredibly nice. Our host was so kind. A wonderful breakfast and she even drove us to the bus stops etc. we loved staying here!! 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic location and comfortable from the first second! The place is very clean and lovingly decorated, with everything you need – even small guest gifts surprised us. The hosts are extremely helpful, respond quickly and have given us great tips about the surroundings. Particularly impressive: you grow your own vegetables and herbs, which guests are allowed to use freely. We had a wonderful time in this little paradise, perfect for unwinding. The journey is via a road about 1 km long, not paved, but the path is worth it – and we were even helped with the luggage!

We had a wonderful vacation in this Airbnb on Hvar. The location of the apartment is perfect, the surroundings were nice and quiet and we had an amazing view into the bay of Prapatna. Marija and her team were really helpful and supportive. Sometimes the apartment was a bit too animal friendly from my point of view, esp. regarding some insects in the sleeping room. But nevertheless it was a wonderful stay at Marijas AirBnb!

We were two families in an apartment, 4 adults and 5 children aged 9-15 years. We had two wonderful weeks at the villa. The villa has an incredibly great view of the sea, and has a swimming pool, ping pong, basketball hoop and more that children could be active with. We arrived late at night, but Rosa was ready to receive us. There was food so we could have both breakfast and lunch the next day. The apartment was well cleaned during the stay and linens were changed. It is helpful with a car to get around as shop is not in a walking condition. We visited various lovely beaches, and were excited about the cozy town of Vasto. We found that people were generally nice and welcoming. We would definitely recommend Villa Osca and the surrounding area to other travelers.

We really enjoyed our stay, stunning views from the house , surrounded by lemon and orange trees and mountains, simply beautiful. You leave your car parked at the bottom of the hill unless you have a small fiat panda or bike, but Francescas Mum drove all the luggage up for us. The place is very charming and Francesca and Anna made us very welcome, giving us fruit from the garden and homemade olive oil. We even shared a drink of homemade Limoncello together. There’s a small swimming pool which we enjoyed and a pool table which was fun to use in the evenings. After a long day sight seeing it was lovely to come back to a homely place away from the busy streets. Kitchen has a washing machine, coffee machine,microwave, hob, toaster, fridge freezer there was even water left in the fridge for us. Everywhere was clean and tidy and nice comfortable beds and pillows, towels are provided too. We couldn’t have asked for nicer hosts.

We were in Vieste for the first time and are totally thrilled. The cottage is really right on the beach. The garden is completely fenced and tidy, which was just great with our dog. We were totally undisturbed. We were a little surprised that the individual rooms were really only accessible individually from the outside and there was no connection (no hallway, living room, etc.). The kitchen was super equipped and Silvana welcomed us in a friendly and flexible manner. In case of difficulties, they took care of it immediately and Giuseppe organized a private boat tour through the sea caves, which was breathtaking! You walk about 2 km to the city, but you have a small supermarket directly diagonally opposite. Due to the campsites next door, there are also beach bars and restaurants with a short walk. We had a great two weeks! Our dog was the most enthusiastic :D

House and surroundings were actually nicer than the description: very quiet, beautiful area with stone wall, olive trees etc. Pleasantly quiet. A little cat greeted us every morning for breakfast. City within walking distance - but takes at least 30 minutes.

We felt really welcome at Any’s place! She was really helpful in giving tips about the area. We went to Konoba Belin which is a big recommendation and we did a very pretty walking route in the area. We were very happy that we started our trip in Korcula here!

The apartment is in a beautiful and peaceful location, and is easy to find. It’s spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, and the view from the terrace over the lake is just stunning. Antonella and Dario are exceptional hosts, responding to messages and fixing any problems almost instantly. They definitely went above and beyond to make our stay really comfortable.

Beautiful cottage recently renovated with taste and great attention, Maurizio's house offers a corner of tranquility surrounded by greenery, with a large and fantastic veranda overlooking a quiet olive grove and the wooded hills all around. The proximity to the Host's home is an advantage because, since Maurizio is always available, he can help with any questions and recommend activities, places to visit, and excursions to do. Highly recommended for those who need to get away from the chaos of the city and breathe healthy good air at the foot of the Apennines. Everything is wonderful, we hope to return soon!

We had a peaceful stay at Chiara's wonderful place. Instructions were thorough and we found our way there despite driving after the sunset. The mountain sights were especially spectacular. We enjoyed the privy and quiet countryside.

I had an incredible stay at this Airbnb in Trstenik, Croatia. The place was spotless, beautifully authentic, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The host was absolutely delightful and very communicative, always available to help. Trstenik and the entire peninsula are truly magical, and I already miss it. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine and unforgettable Croatian experience.

We had wonderful 4 nights in Ivica‘s little house. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures, uphill Tucepi in a quiet area. Everything that is needed was there, even with a great bbq grill. The 100 years old house was renovated with lots of love, and the rooms were super clean and had just about the right size. All in all the rooms were perfect and we had no concerns whatsoever even with two small kids! Ivica and his wife Nicolina were super helpful and friendly, giving us all the necessary recommendations we needed. Luckily we didn’t have any problems and issues, so our communication was before checkin during checkin and at check out - as it should be. All in all I would recommend the apartment to anybody, even with small children. We will definitely consider to come back and look forward to meet Ivica and Nikolina again!

This is a great place. We felt immediately at home. The apartment is very clean with a good bed and we liked the high beautiful sealing. Also wonderful for a stroll around the olive trees. Best wishes,

The 122 steps you have to climb to get to Nora's paradise are well worth it! Besides being a wonderful place to relax, Nora is a very sweet, friendly, caring hostess! Dear Nora, thank you for everything this past week! We loved you and your beautiful place! Who knows, maybe someday Much love Gabrielle&Winanda

We loved our stay at Mariangela’s cozy cottage! It was a peaceful escape after our busy time in Rome! The Beach and local grocery store were within walking distance. Mariangela was an amazing host, she responded quickly to my questions and even gave us some fresh eggs in the morning 🥰 I would absolutely recommend her place when visiting Italy

Very clean, tidy house with great views and attractions in the direction of Palinuro equally beautiful. The area is very quiet, the host was very helpful and welcoming, great experience, highly recommended for those looking for tranquility a few minutes from the sea.

You only get there by car. Be wise and take a small rental car, the road is very narrow and steap.
