Cottage vacation rentals in South Italy

Excellent welcome with a lot of attention. The apartment is clean, comfortable, equipped like a 5-star hotel. We recommend this little quiet paradise facing the sea. This magical place is unique.

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!

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.

We had a lovely stay at Manuela's. She is a very welcoming person who welcomes you to her peaceful and charming place. The place is representative of what an Airbnb rental should be, i.e. hospitality, small touches that facilitate check-in, daily presence and personalized, authentic home. Manuella communicates very well in French: constructive exchanges. Always good advice, Manuela also knows how to be discreet in this accommodation where the houses are glued and share common spaces. The location is ideal for visiting Matera and the coast near Bari by car. We recommend Manuela 100%.

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.

Our host Caroline welcomed us, and made sure we were able to get to the destinations we booked. She always responded quickly to us. We would recommend to all our friends.

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!

Just perfect. There were so many small thoughtful details of equipment that made our stay feel like we’re staying at a real home rather than an half empty Airbnb. The photos looked already promising but we were shocked that the house looks even better in real life! The cars didn’t bother us much, as you can just close the doors if you want complete silence.

Cozy cottage in the middle of Abruzzo. Host was very friendly and flexible

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful 5 night stay at the beautifully appointed and well located home. We went to the stunning natural pool at the bottom of the street at least once every day and if you love to swim and the sea it's heavenly. Nearby Tricase is an interesting town with good supermarkets, restaurants and shops. We went to Etimo spa about 5 minutes from the home and can highly recommend that place. Maria Teresa's home is very private and has a very large yard and garden surrounding it. We cooked half the meals at home and found everything we needed including a great coffee machine. She is the perfect host and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. I'd recommend spending at least three nights here but we wish we had a month to stay!

A dream in the country side. It was everything we needed to relax. Our almost three year old son also loved exploring Marion’s little paradise

Le Fratte is a wonderful site with lots of plants and this house a gem! Bigger, more beautiful and cozy than on the pictures we spend here some wonderful days and didn't mind some of them to be rainy at all, as one could still sit on the huge covered terrace and enjoy the view. The beaches right in front of the site are beautiful, but require at least some basic fitness to get down to and up from. There's a big beach next to the porto touristico not far away that should be easily accessible for everyone though. The Ristorante in the village, Le Pagoda, was still opened in late October, which we almost didn't expect, so in case you don't want to use the kitchen (which has all the basics and much more so you're ready to cook) once in a while, there's a surprisingly good option to eat out (try the swordfish carpaccio) just a 5 minute walk away. 10/10 would definitely go back again.

The Thinkers House is a dream house by the sea. The breathtaking view from the veranda and from the rooms actually cannot be surpassed. But then you enter the roof terrace and it takes your breath away: during the day the deep blue of the sea and at night an infinite starry sky. Marko is a very friendly and helpful host who has beautifully designed and furnished his house. We would love to come back.

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.

Amazing place to stay, hosts were lovely and gave you space to enjoy the villa, maintained the pool very well and made sure the whole space was clean, Amazing views if your looking for a chilled place to relax, restaurants wasn’t too far about 30 mins drive

We had a wonderful stay at this house. The property is very spacious and comfortable. The area is very private, situated among the olive trees. The host stays adjacent to us, so if you need any help or any problem arises, she is always there. The road that leads to the house is private and it will take about 5 mins to get there, on our arrival we were a little hesitant (there is a sign) since the google map stops in the middle of the road, once we sent her a message, her brother came out to show us the way. We explored cities nearby Trani, Biscigile,Corato, etc. There is a nice outlet not far from Andria - puglia village and a big mall - Hyper Coop, just in case you are bored, like us. The host, Maria Teresa has been very kind to us. We enjoyed her hospitality, although this time of the year it is not harvesting season but she took us around to see how the extra virgin olive oil is made.🥰 highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning location and amazingly helpful and generous hosts. The place was extremely clean and had wonderful views!

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

Gorgeous little place with an absolutely stunning view, we loved our time here.

Marco’s place is incredible. We felt so lucky to be perched on the edge of beautiful Sermoneta admiring the view from the terrace. It was so quiet that we could only hear the birds and the insects. The pool was lovely and the house is one of a kind. We were a family of 4 and managed with taxis and the train. The train into Rome is quick and comfortable and, like many others, we really valued the peace of Sermoneta after the bustle of Rome.

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

We are so pleased with our stay at Filippa's! The accommodation is beautifully located with a sensational view, fantastic garden and all the amenities you might need are there. The house is completely newly built, so all the furnishings feel new, fresh and well-functioning, which I appreciated a lot. Filippa and her husband are so nice people, very warm and accommodating, and are always there for questions and concerns. Dreaming of having a house and a garden as nice and well-kept as Filippas! Would love to return to this accommodation for another vacation. Perfect if you are looking for a quiet place to breathe out and recover 💛

A wonderful, stylishly cozy and original home away from home! The tranquility, the wonderful view of the sea and a fantastic environment create an unrestricted feeling of vacation happiness. Thank you very much and I hope to see you soon!

Incredible place! Staying at Franco's was absolutely amazing – a real oasis of peace in the middle of nature. In the morning, we were awakened by a beautiful view of the sunrise over the sea, surrounded by silence, greenery and absolute peace. Franco was a very helpful and accommodating host, immediately responding to all my questions and easily accommodating some of the specific conditions I had. You could tell he really cared about making the guest feel good. The place is perfect for relaxation - clean, stylish and yet authentic. For me TOP TOP TOP! I highly recommend to anyone looking for peace, beauty and a great host. 🌿☀️🌊
