Family-friendly vacation rentals in North Africa

We had a wonderful stay at this breathtaking Airbnb in Oia, Santorini. The location is absolutely stunning—perched right on the caldera with jaw-dropping views that made every moment feel like a postcard come to life. That said, be prepared for a bit of a trek to get down to the property (and back up!). The stairs can be quite challenging, especially for those with mobility or health concerns, so it's definitely something to keep in mind when booking. The host arranged for a porter to help with our luggage during both check-in and check-out, which made a huge difference. Still, it's important to know that getting around requires some physical effort—but the view at the end of the journey is 100% worth it. The host was great at coordinating everything—from taxi transfers to porter service. Upon arrival, a designated greeter met us and guided us to the room, offering helpful tips to remember the location (which is key—Oia’s winding pathways can be confusing, especially at night). Our r

Great communication, super well organised checking in and out, location perfect with full view of classic Oia sunset from balcony. Minimart right below as well to grab snacks and wine for sunset

We loved our stay at the Blue Dome Villa. You could not ask for a more beautiful view! The interior was spotless and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We loved that there was two full bathrooms. My husband and I each had our own which made getting ready very easy. Alfred, our host, was incredible! He met us at arrival, helped us with our bags and showed us to the villa. He checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We had an amazing time!

This is a truly unique place for a special get away. The views all round are stunning and entire complex is so different to anywhere else. We absolutely loved it and would recommend hugely to anyone.

המקום שוכן באיזור מופלא בעין כרם ומאפשר תצפית מעולה על היער המסעדות שיש בסביבה מאוד טעימות ונעימות האירוח היה קסום מאוד משביל הכניסה ועד הנרות ליד הגקוזי אני ובת וזכרתי התחתנו באותו יום וביקשתי מאנג׳ה להגיע מוקדם מהשעה של הצ׳ק אין והיא הסכימה בלי שום בעיה היה אירוח מקסים ונעים מאוד מומלץ לאוהבי טבע ונופש נעים ופסטורלי!

Great place and location. Easy walk to the bus stop and to good restaurants. Place was beautiful with a very nice view from the huge patio, we loved the pool/hot tub. Lots of stairs/uphill to get there which was only a little tough on day 1 with luggage but easily done if you don’t have any physical limitations, and without luggage no big deal.

Our stay was fantastic! The location was close to everything in Fira and we walked everywhere. The home itself was wonderful. Perfect space for a family of four with two teenage girls. The view was spectacular and the outdoor space made our entire visit. We could definitely stay again if we visit Santorini again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing home in Oia! Laskarina was a fantastic host who communicated very well and provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and tours. The house is beautiful with stunning views, and the location could not be better, right on the main street surrounded by restaurants and charming stores. Despite being in the heart of all the activity, the home felt completely private. The hot tub is private as well and offers an incredible view. The balcony is spacious and the perfect spot to sit and take in the scenery. The home is a short walk to the blue domes picture spot as well as the sunset spots. Highly recommend staying here!

Coup de foudre pour ce lieu magique et surtout pour ses habitants ( 2 et 4 pattes 😉) . Merci à Yann et Bernard nos adorables hôtes pour ce séjour inoubliable, leur prévenance , leur gentillesse, ce fut une belle rencontre de la vie . Le pavillon est une véritable oasis d’où l’on ne veut plus partir. Merci à Said pour ses délicieux petits déjeuners. Hâte de retrouver toute la petite troupe l’année prochaine au mois d’août. 🥰

Peggy was extremely kind and responded quickly to our messages. She met us for check-in and explained everything!! The apartment is on the top floor and a 10 min walk to most things. The porch doesn’t have an ocean view, it is a view of the city which is still very pretty! The apartment was very very clean! I would definitely stay here again!! Parking was easy also. I highly recommend this Airbnb.

Gabriel made you feel at home from the time he organised a pick up for me from the port and greeted me at the house to saying farewell and organising transport back. The house had every little detail thought of. Gabriel even had a fresh loaf of bread and Greek cookies waiting for me in the well organised kitchen. It was right beside Magaya Restaurant which was a regular drinking and eating place. I even joined the outdoor yoga class next door too. There are lots of outdoor garden areas to chill too with a drink. Right on the doorstep of Parasporos Beach you will not find a better place to feel like a Greek and listen to the waves as you fall asleep. I hope to return…….

Our family of 8 had a glorious stay at Stuart’s. this gorgeous home and setting fit exactly matched our Cycladic dream! Stuart was proactive in his communication, created a group chat in advance to connect our group with the manager Katerina, sent a car to pick us up, & cleaned the place mid-stay. There’s a binder full of recommendations and Katerina is quick to respond to queries and send along Sunny the handyman for a repair the one time we needed something fixed. Town is a 15 min walk- though not super stroller friendly. On calm days we loved swimming off the rocky outcroppings out front and snorkelling. The home was equipped with everything we needed for family beach days, from water shoes to floaty toys. The kitchen also had everything with could wish for from a blender to Bundt pans.

Our stay was wonderful. The house was lovely and the views and setting were beautiful. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and offered several recommendations for sightseeing. We had wonderful meals in the village and spent every evening on the terrace soaking up the beauty surrounding the house.

Wir waren zu zwei in Casa Magüi und hatten eine wundervolle Zeit. Die Aussicht ist unbezahlbar und die Unterkunft ist schön groß! Der Balkon is wundervoll und die Gegend sehr ruhig. Uns hat es sehr gefallen!! 🌊

Notre séjour a été magnifique ! L'appartement est très beau, agréable et surtout d'un calme remarquable, parfait pour se reposer. Tout correspondait parfaitement à la description. Mohamed a été extrêmement gentil, réactif et toujours disponible en cas de besoin. Nous avons vraiment apprécié cette expérience et recommandons chaleureusement cet hébergement. Je reviendrai sans hesitation pour mes prochaines vacances!

Such a lovely place to stay in Tenerife, would definitely recommend to anyone! The area is beautiful, especially being right above the natural pools, truly an incredible experience!! Thank you for everything Andrés and Natasha!

Probably the best Airbnb we ever stayed, a beautiful and secluded place yet with incredibly easy access to Ronda and other areas. The place is even better than it looks like on the pictures, Gabriella is a fantastic host and very helpful. The pool area is just brilliant Love the cats! Couldn't ask more.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. In der Villa ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht und innen ist alles sehr gepflegt. In der Küche gibt es Tee, Olivenöl und Kräuter. Die Terrasse und Pool sind toll! Der Pool liegt so wie auf dem letzten Foto zu sehen. Die ersten zwei Tage war sehr starker Wind, dann weniger, aber auf jeden Fall haben wir und unsere 3 Kinder es absolut genossen, dass der Pool beheizt wurde. Danke dafür! Unterhalb des Grundstücks ist gerade eine Baustelle, was für den Ausblick zur einen Seite schade ist, sonst aber nicht wirklich störend war. Maria haben wir persönlich leider nicht kennengelernt, aber die Kommunikation mit ihr war unkompliziert und nett. Wir empfehlen die Villa auf jeden Fall weiter.

We had such a memorable stay! The location is like something out of a dream—tucked into volcanic rock by the sea, it feels like a hidden pirate cove at night. The suite was unique and thoughtfully designed, a refreshing change from the usual. While people may glance at their reflections in the windows, the space feels completely private. The warm rooftop pool is a highlight, with stunning views across the bay. The 200-step walk up to Oia isn’t difficult and is filled with breathtaking views and sunsets along the way. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, making everything from communication to transfers seamless. A special thanks for quickly handling a request—it really made us feel cared for. The cleaning lady was also lovely: efficient and always friendly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a truly special and unforgettable place to stay!

Merveilleux logement, de charmantes attentions à l'arrivée, une communication avec l'hôte super, nous avons eu des recommandations pour tout le séjour et il a pris de nos nouvelles chaque jour. Le ménage était fair régulièrement. Nous étions à la fois au calme et avons apprécié l'espace à l'extérieur et la possibilité de se garer tout en étant proche de tout. Pas de bruit, séjour très agréable. Tout etait décoré avec beaucoup de goût. Bravo !

Mia is amazing host, very responsive, very helpful. The place is amazing, beautiful garden, amazing pool, beautiful surrounding. More than recommended.

We had a lovely five night stay in Oral's villa. The villa itself is fabulous and more than lives up to the photos. Clean, comfortable and very spacious. Our highlight was the spectacular views across the bay in the evenings around sunset. The pool during the second week of June was at a perfect temperature for us (we didn't request heating). Communication with Oral was a pleasure - very responsive and always ready to assist with any queries we had. The villa is about a 10 minute drive into the peninsula with a parking space available. The Kas/Peninsula bus passes by the villa every half hour and taxis are also available (under €10 to Kas). Overall, we found the villa to be great value - we've paid a lot more elsewhere for less. Highly recommended.

An amazing Riad. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. They were incredibly welcoming and attentive and did everything they could to ensure we had a great stay. Some areas of the Medina were quite confronting for our group as we copped abuse just for being there however this is not a reflection of the property it’s more an awareness to be respectful and not stand out.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt, die Villa ist sehr privat gelegen und die Aussicht von der Terrasse zum Meer ist atemberaubend. Alles war wie angegeben und auf den Bildern.
