Family-friendly vacation rentals in South Italy

This is one of our favorite stops on our honeymoon through Sicily. Dorotea's place was even more beautiful than the pictures!! The view from the terrace was stunning!! Dorotea allowed us to check in early, and met us there to show us around the place and the property. She was so friendly and gave us a lot of advice for the area for places to eat and things to do. This was a great location to walk to Isola Bella and Mazzarro beach, as well up as to the town. Dorotea was also very helpful and responsive to our messages before we arrived. We hope to return soon, and would love to stay at Dortoea's place for a longer stay next time!

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.

Wow! What an amazing stay we have had! Hosts were always available with queries, supplied lots of information and tips in relation to Dubrovnik and left maps/guidebook also. Attention to detail was incredible and absolutely everything was thought of - board games, books, coffee machine with pods and little milks. The apartment was spotless, so clean, the views are out of this world - loads of room on the terrace to sunbathe, sit in the shade and then have a dip in the hot tub with the views. Air conditioning was great after a day strolling around the Old Town - the bus was at the top of the hill which takes you into Old Town Dubrovnik within 10/15 minutes. The hosts even sent us the timetable of the bus schedule - absolutely everything was thought out. Thank you for an amazing stay!!!

We had an amazing time. The place was very clean, views were stunning. Host was attentive and responsive. Care was given to provide many items to ensure we had all the items we needed on our arrival. Extremely thoughtful! We had two young children and were please to have everything we needed for them to lunch on arrival. So many special touches!! We had a hard time leaving, we hope to be back soon! Special thanks to Antonio, we won’t say goodbye but rather arrivederci !

It is hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay here. First of all, Gabriella is a FANTASTIC host. From the moment we started communicating she was so helpful, booking activities for us and arranging for taxis with drivers who were so friendly. And her father, Giuseppe, was so warm and welcoming as well. The home was absolutely spotless, had so many amenities, and Gabriella provided so many thoughtful and nice touches that made us feel so well loved and cared for. They truly felt like family. We were here celebrating two 25th anniversaries between our two families, as well as the graduation of our children from high school. We could not have picked a more beautiful and special place. Two of our outings - a boat tour to Capri that started and ended in Amalfi and hiking the Path of the Gods, finishing in Positano - made us feel even better about our choice of where to stay. Those other two cities were packed, but Furore was so peaceful. We highly recommend this lovely home!

Antonella is a great host. I can confirm all the good comments in the reviews. We went there with a car and always found a free parking lot - also Antonella assisted in finding one when we were unsure whether we would get one late at night. I visited with my 76 year old grandmother- she managed the stairs without any bigger trouble so if you’re under 60 and somewhat flexible you won’t have any problems at all. I would recommend 10/10 times Definitely an AirBnB Gem!

A beautiful and tranquil setting. We took walks along the country road surrounded by olive trees and wild flowers. The garden and pool are beautiful and we spent lots of time there. We also explored Spongano and our beloved town of Specchia. Salento is magical and so is Villa Ada.

Serena's place is better than the pictures. If you want somewhere to relax off the beaten path on the Almalfi Coast this is the place. Serena is amazing and so helpful with recommendations and ideas for transportation. Serena's dad picked us up and took us back to the ferry terminal as well as the mini market so we didn't have to walk up the hill. We would definitely stay here again.

There are no words to describe the kindness and helpfulness of Mrs. Maria Teresa; a wonderful creature who loves animals as most people should. The property is absolutely perfect for what my needs were. Very clean, very comfortable mattresses, complete with everything you needed (from detergent to extra virgin olive oil made by them), including a beach umbrella, beach towels and even new slippers for the whole family. What can I say, people should take an example from this girl on how to run a B&B. I hope to return soon. 💛

Our stay at the castle was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Gisella and her team made us feel so welcome and cared for. The castle itself is breathtaking—steeped in history, beautifully preserved, and full of charm at every turn. We were lucky enough to have a guided tour of the castle despite the language barrier, and somehow, we understood everything perfectly! From the grand halls to the former prison cells, each room held a story, and the gardens were simply magical. It was the perfect setting for rest, inspiration, and celebration. We left with our hearts full and minds buzzing with creativity for our own project, Samraj-Brown Eyewear, this place is that inspiring! Thank you for going above and beyond. We’ll cherish these memories forever. 💫

Highly recommend! The view is incredible and the space is very clean. Concetta made us breakfast each morning and her cat visited as well! There are around 260 steps up from the road so be prepared, but it’s well worth it to stay there. It’s nice to be separate from the busier area. She was extremely communicative and a friendly host. She was very helpful with navigating the town and recommendations.

The accommodation is fantastic, a great solution to truly live a local experience. Isolated trulli in a countryside setting without chaos, well furnished and garden with pool great for Bruno, our 4-legged friend. Onofrio and Nadia were very kind, truly impeccable hospitality that made us feel like we were at home. We love Puglia and will definitely be back!

Thanks for letting us stay at your little slice of paradise. The cottage was as stunningly beautiful as the pictures show and we enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of our normal city life. The surrounding area was breath taking to see with an abundance of pretty mountainside towns. We would definitely recommend hiring a car to stay here as we did, this will make getting to places easy. We particularly enjoyed our cooking class, it was both interesting and delicious. Our hosts were great throughout our stay. Catherina was very informative, with super clear instructions and a speedy reply she made sure everything went seemlessly. Dina and Nino came to meet us to show us to the cottage, they were extremely warm and welcoming from the get go. We really enjoyed getting to know them both a bit more during our cooking class, there were many laughs at dinner with them and they made us feel welcome and relaxed. We will honestly never forget this experience. Thank you so much x

We liked it very much at Antonella's and we would come back any time! A very nice hostess with a great apartment! Thank you

We had a brilliant stay at trulli del Bosco. Giulia was easy to contact and made us feel very welcome and at home. The hut is something else, offering a serene setting in the countryside but still within 10 minutes drive of alberobello. It was really beautiful and we really enjoyed the stay and the delicious breakfast with local produce. One thing to note is due to the remoteness of the area there is only one restaurant nearby within walking distance which is not open every night however this just meant we had to use the car and plan ahead. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting puglia!

We had a wonderful stay at the apartment which has beautiful roof top terraces making you feel away from the busy city of Naples. We had a slight issue with check in as our map took us to the wrong location however the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, guiding us to the correct location. We found the location of the apartment ideal in a lovely area of Napoli. The apartment was clean and personified the lovely personality of the host. We found the washing machine to be particularly dirty however was assured this to be a one off. We left having enjoyed our stay at the apartment and would definitely recommend to family and friends, considering a stay in Napoli.

Wow, what to say. Francescopaolo's apartment was all that we'd hoped for. The terrace is beautiful, lots of places to relax and of course the amazing view. The living accommodation is bright, airy and bigger than it looks in the photos. Francescopaolo has lots of beautiful ornaments, pots and pictures - loved the mermaid table! The kitchen doesn't feel small as it's really well designed, lots of storage and had absolutely everything that you could possibly need. The icing on the cake was access to the sea and we had some beautiful swims down there, the water was just gorgeous. Location was good and we loved Minori, lots of amazing restaurants and it didn't feel touristy at all, it was quiet but still had a good atmosphere, especially in the evening when everyone comes out for their passeggiata. Francescopaolo was a great host, good at communication, sent lots of information on local places and friendly. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Excellent host. Wonderful, unique property!

A wonderful experience to stay in an authentic Trulli! They aren't the biggest but has everything you need for a short stay. The room had a good size bed and small bathroom. We had the aircon on quite a bit due to the summer heat and it worked really well and we used the pool everyday! The property was quiet and absolutely stunning, the photo's do not do it justice, it is better in real life! Having the breakfast Marilena made for us (15 Euro's a person) was perfect on the terrace and so fulling with eggs, pastries, fruit, focaccia, cereal, rolls, toast, cheese, tomatoes, coffee etc! The only thing that could be added is a small stove top to the room for cooking as it only had a microwave. This is one of the best, most unique and picturesque stays we have ever stayed in. We would definitely love to come back one day. Thank you so much to Marilena for hosting us and all the local recommendations. It is in a great location for exploring Alberobella.

Fortunate to have 11 nights in the Royal apartment. Suzana looked after us as Jadranka was away. Both though were responsive when needed assistance. As described in the listing with wonderful views across Lapad bay. There are 4 apartments in the complex along with the Hosts accommodation. Romantic apartment is at the top same level as pool area. Next down was the Royal, Harmony a few steps further down and Marine the lowest. All very private and didn’t hear any unnecessary noise from other guests. 61 steep steps from street to apartment door and the shower is in the hydro bath so a bit of a high step there. My wife was a bit hesitant as she has had a hip replacement couple of years ago but found a routine! Using the elevators at nearby More and Kompas hotels to get back from the promenade was a good handy hint! Amenities were good. Some instructions would be helpful especially using the appliances. Info on recycling would be useful too. It was very comfortable and we would recommend i

Amazing home in a beautiful place! Unforgettable

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

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.

We stayed for 4 nights with our family, children age 4 & 2. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay and explore Dubrovnik. The apartment is perfectly located just steps from the old town / city walls, for a short trip this was ideal. Everything is on your doorstep, you can walk everywhere. The house is beautiful and Ivona has done a wonderful job of designing it. It was so well equipped with everything you needed. Michael welcomed us and even arranged our transfer from the airport. They had left us a selection of snacks including bread, milk, jams, coffee pods, wine, beer which was great. The swimming pool area is a bonus and we enjoyed an afternoon swimming and enjoying the views. The whole complex is spotless and so well maintained. I was a little apprehensive as of whether the children would enjoy Dubrovnik, however they loved it and I would recommend. We hope to return one day and if you are considering booking, book early, you will not disappointed. Thank you!
