House vacation rentals in South Italy

Sonia and Paulo have invested so much time, energy and love into Villa Clelia. Together they have shaped it into a magical paradise where the weary traveller can relax in elegant comfort. No detail has been left untouched from the stylishly equipped and spacious accommodation with its al fresco dining patio to the splendid garden and pool area where majestic olive trees stand proud in a sea of closely cropped green lawn, and where aromatic jasmine cascades down the wall to the shimmering swimming pool, lit up like a film set with lanterns at night and blessed with birdsong by day. Sonia and Paulo are the world's perfect hosts. Charming, friendly, attentive and super helpful. They will guide you in whatever direction your interests lie, whether that be in the beautiful cultural and historical villages and towns in the area, the long uninterrupted beaches and bars of the coast, or hiking in the Aspromonte National Park. The local food is delightful whether you eat out or in. Heaven.

We really enjoyed our stay at Carlo‘s house. It’s been beautifully renovated and was very comfortable for the two of us. The location is great with amazing views to Badolato and the sea beyond. The wine produced from their own grapes is truly delicious (we bought some home with us). Of course the apple cake stole the show! Unfortunately, it was unexpectedly cold and wet when we arrived in mid May. The fan heater was not enough to make the house warm enough for us, so we cut our stay short. We would love to return when is hopefully warmer and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay in this house again.

he was incredible kind and friendly person always warm and welcoming and ready to help with anything we needed. it really made a difference added a personal touch to our experience. the accommodation was spotless tastefully decorated and located in a peaceful country side setting in pulia. we especially love the amazing pool it was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. everything was exactly as we hope if not better. we fell completely at ease and would absolutely love to return. highly recommend.

Wonderful! We had the entire place to ourselves, the views are amazing! Loved and would definitely stay there again.

Our stay has been amazing! The host is very welcoming and helpful. The property is clean, very well decorated and furnished. The location in the city center is very convenient. You can leave the car in the garage and enjoy walking through the city. We loved it a lot.!

Everything was great! Location was perfect and the space was lovely. Hard to beat the private pool!

Anoeta's place is a paradise on earth. Beauty, peace and space. It is a completely stress free environment that you Will never Forget. We are going to come back for sure.

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

Villa Batu is a beautiful place to stay in the Puglia area. Two wonderful big bedrooms, and a great kitchen with lots of useful utensils (most well equipped kitchen we have stayed in). The outside area was really the star of the show though; there were multiple areas to sit to capture the sun throughout the whole day. A wonderful outdoor dining area, sun loungers and comfy seats throughout. The pool was superb. The location is peaceful, quite and serene. Would highly recommend a car as there aren't any shops/restaurants, etc. within walking distance nor any buses. Note for future guests - use Google Maps to navigate to 'Villa Batu' (it takes you directly there). Ilaria, the host, was excellent - responsive to communication, kind and helpful. And Michele, the caretaker, was also very helpful and good communication. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend this wonderful location and Villa Batu - it really is one not to miss!

Une petite maisonnette aux allures de cabane de luxe, tout simplement merveilleuse, pleine de charme à deux pas de la très belle OSTUNI et en plein cœur des Pouilles. Tout était impeccable, magnifiquement décoré, extrêmement soigné. Olenka a été une hôte pleine d’attentions (oui, ça fait plaisir d’avoir de l’eau pour son séjour, un petit paquet de pâtes et de quoi prendre un petit déjeuner le matin de son arrivée ; et ça fait plaisir d’avoir un petit message au milieu du séjour pour savoir si tout se passe bien et si on a besoin de quoi que ce soit). Bref, que dire ? Que tout était parfait et que notre seul regret, c’était de ne pas rester plus. Un grand merci à Olenka pour son accueil et à une prochaine fois. Marina

The Airbnb was very cute and had an amazing view both from the window and the lovely patio! The location was perfect, with easy access to both the old and new parts of Matera. Parking was close by and it was simple to get to the apartment from there. The space itself was clean, charming, and had everything we needed. The host was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. One small heads-up: the hot water heater is a bit small, so shorter showers are best. Other than that, everything was great and we’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Matera!

Siamo stati molto bene a casa di Giovanni . La casa è un tipico casale antico ristrutturato con un design unico ed una vasca freestanding bellissima. La posizione è tranquilla e immersa nella natura. Si possono trovare alberi di ulivi , ciliegie e nocciole. Gli spazi esterni sono vasti per intraprendere passeggiate con una vista mozzafiato da un lato sul mare e dall’altro sull’Etna . Nelle vicinanze ci sono ristoranti tipici e svariate cantine che offrono degustazione di vini dell’Etna..Poi ci sono gli host che devo dire sono molto gentili e curano molto questo posto. È necessaria l’auto per spostarsi comodamente, ed è possibile anche raggiungere il mare. Grazie a Giovanni , Pippo e Gertrud.!

Wir haben die Villa geliebt! Das Interior Design ist sehr stilvoll und modern. Die Villa ist an einer sehr ruhigen und atemberaubender Lage in aber dennoch sind genügend Möglichkeiten in wenigen Autominuten in der Umgebung erreichbar. Claudia war sehr zuvorkommend und klärte unsere Anfragen schnell ab. Maria Luisa war während unseres gesamtes Aufenthaltes stets erreichbar, hilfsbereit und stellte uns Empfehlungen zusammen. Sie organisierte einen Kochkurs in der Villa, welcher auf unsere Wünsche angepasst war und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit! Wir können die Villa empfehlen nur empfehlen.

We had a wonderful stay! The view from the villa is absolutely stunning. We were a group of 7 ladies and felt very comfortable throughout our visit. The surroundings are generally nice, although some parts of the nearby public beach were a bit dirty — nothing to do with the villa owners, of course. What we really loved was the terrace — during the day, when it’s incredibly hot, the terrace stays mostly in the shade, which makes it the perfect spot to relax and hang out. Being out in the sun was just impossible, so the shaded space was a lifesaver! The hosts were incredibly communicative and responsive — they replied to any questions within a minute. The only downside was the number of mosquitoes, so it would have been great to get a heads-up about that. I’d recommend bringing some repellent spray. Overall, a fantastic place for a relaxing stay. Thank you! 🌿🌞

Ostuni is beautiful as is Carla’s place a short three minute walk to the centre. Carla’s place is beautiful with great furnishings and tastefully decorated. Great attention to detail - charging leads at each side of each bed for example. The terrace is great. Carla is very helpful and friendly without being intrusive.

Mirna is a true gem. Saying that she is the perfect host doesn’t do it justice - in the weeks leading up to my stay, she checked in regularly to make sure that I was able to book activities (as things get booked up in the Sorrento Coast). She arranged for me to have groceries delivered since I wasn’t renting a car nor scooter. She provided so much information that guided all of my activities, and even when I needed to make additional plans, she placed those calls for me to ensure that I could get reservations. Her kindness was so appreciated. Her home is very clean and her housekeeper was so helpful, even helping me to carry my luggage up the small hill to the main road. Mirna provided coffee, the kitchen utensils that I needed to make my own meals, and I didn’t need anything more. The VIEW is as spectacular as Mirna is…rent her home, you will regret not doing so…in addition to renting a car or scooter (otherwise, she has the name of a fantastic driver)!

My friends and I had the most amazing stay, thanks to our incredible host! From the moment we arrived, he was extremely sweet and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. He set up rides for us and was always quick to respond to any questions we had, making communication a breeze. The Airbnb itself was absolutely stunning — the pictures truly don’t do it justice. It’s like something out of a dream! Every corner of the space had a special charm that made our stay feel magical and unforgettable. One of the highlights of our trip was the morning we were checking out. Our host stopped by and made us all delicious cappuccinos, and we sat together in the kitchen chatting like old friends. It was such a warm and personal touch that really made our stay memorable. The hospitality and the beautiful atmosphere were truly unmatched, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

the view in real life is better than the pictures. peacefull place. Bojan is ready for you. we where missing shade, within a day he had a parasol for us. had some trouble with the kayak, he told us where to go. sofa is really comfy for a movie night when escaping a few mosquitos outside. interior is really nice anyway, good color scheme, gives a designer peace🥰 tip, kayak to Dodosi. yes it is a hour paddling, going to get sour arm. but great trip with lot of animals and nature to see.

What a find!! This beautiful Apulian villa nestled among the olive groves of Ostuni was beyond all of our expectations!! The home , including an historical Trulo and luxurious pool are immaculate ; surrounded by pristine gardens all natural and organic. The white washed city of Ostuni is minutes away offering an abundance of restaurants, shopping and historical sites. Beautiful beaches are a short drive away with soft sandy beaches and the beautiful clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. Barbara and her husband were extremely helpful and always available to help in any way! Barbara's recommendations were spot on and she even went out of her way to make reservations for us at restaurants, cooking classes and wine tours! I highly recommend this amazing villa for your next vacation!

Our stay at Casa Colonica was like a dream! Nestled at the foot of Gerace, the views of the Ionian coast were simply magical. The house and pool were immaculately maintained and spotless. It's possibly the most remarkable place to stay in Calabria with children — peaceful, spacious and giving you an elequent country feeling but very close by car to both Locri and Gerace for anything you need. Mariagrazia and Vincenzo were warm, welcoming hosts. We would absolutely love to return!

Allison goes above and beyond. Fully stocked kitchen with fresh eggs ,fruit and wine.Anna brought us fresh pastries every morning, removed trash and changed and refreshed our bedrooms and bathrooms . The King beds and rooms are spacious and comfortable and the exterior has every amenity. Every detail has been thought through. Do not miss the opportunity to stay in this beautifully appointed vacation home.

If you are looking for a post card view of Positano and the coastline, this is the place to stay. The property was beautiful and the pool was an added bonus. Air conditioning worked fine for us. Domenico was kind enough to help meet us and assist with our luggage. He even reserved a taxi for our Capri tour and recommend the La Strada restaurant. The food, service and close proximity were all great. One note to keep in mind is the number of steps to get to the property. It can be a bit of challenge for some. Otherwise, we had a memorable stay.

Meraviglioso! La casa, immersa nel verde e nella quiete, ha una vista impagabile. Si trova a due passi dal piccolo centro di Malfa e a 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia. Mini appartamento con camera matrimoniale e bagno in suite e piccola cucina sul terrazzo esterno. Il terrazzo è meraviglioso. Pulizia ed accoglienza impeccabili. Assolutamente consigliato!

Wow!! Absolutely stunning! I wouldn’t recommend staying anywhere else. Accomodation was the best we have had so far in Italy. Absolutely beautiful.
