Houses in Kraków

House for rent Krakow/Tyniec
Perfect accommodation and a great host! The accommodation is completely new, tastefully made and above all very very very clean! Very well-equipped, everything you need is available! The location is great! Private residence, with parking space all in a quiet location 5 min walk from a beautiful Abbey! Also 10 min from the airport. Kasia our host is also great! Very responsive to our requests, very kind with lots of nice touches! We had a great weekend! Go without a second thought!

Art Room Luxury Apartment 2 minutes to city center
Very happy with the place and the host. The apartment was in line with expectations, was centrally located yet in a quiet area. Piotr was helpful and responded quickly. Recommend this home!

Escape to Luxury: Villa Wola2
Beautiful homes, in a good location. Great communication with the owner.

Beautiful house with a large garden under Krakow
Beautiful house a short taxi ride from the airport, very clean and spacious. if the sofa bed was a real bed, it would be perfect, though the master bedroom bed and basement bedroom bed are both at floor level, they were comfortable but anyone with any mobility issues may struggle getting in and out. The property is very rural, which is what we wanted and public transport into Krakow is easy, but at certain times of the day you will struggle to get taxis to come out this far, take out deliveries had the same problem, either didn't come that far or was an hour and a half wait. I would recommend travelling by bus into Krakow and take a taxi home. Lidia and William were lovely but they struggle with English. All in all, highly recommended.

Rest near Krakow in a green area
Wonderful host, fantastic airbnb, nothing to come back for another stay! Highly recommended!

Beautiful Villa with swimming pool, sauna, garden
We had an excellent stay at Alexandra’s place. Beautiful villa with great amenities. Easy to get taxis into the city. Would highly recommend for large groups.

WieliczkaHome 1st floor + garden + parking
The place is modern and spacious. We appreciated the large bathroom and shower. I was particularly impressed with the office space including desk and dual monitor setup with dock. The yard was gorgeous and we're already trying to plan when we can come back in the summer to take full advantage of it.

Zbójnicka Chata
We've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs over the years, but this place is on a whole other level — honestly, the best house we've ever had the pleasure of staying in! I think it’s going to be nearly impossible to beat this one. There’s tons of space in front of the house, and the backyard is absolutely massive — my dog was in heaven running around! Inside, the house feels even bigger and nicer than the photos show. There's so much room to spread out, and the whole place just feels super comfortable. The kitchen is amazing too — it’s really well stocked, and the gas cooktop is a dream for anyone who loves to cook. If I could give it six stars, I absolutely would. Can’t recommend it enough!

Superior luxury apartment in the heart of Kraków
stunning apartment - right on the main square, spotlessly clean and decorated beautifully. would certainly stay here if we visit again

lovely place, modern design, historic townhouse...
My husband and 15 month old stayed here for one night and we loved it. It’s the perfect spot between Wawel Castle and the Jewish District. Everything is within walkable distance. The food and markets were plenty. Michal helped us plan for our 15 month old but setting out the couch with clean sheets and covers. The kitchen has all your cooking needs. The patio was a pleasant hangout while the baby slept. Great find and would definitely stay again!

LuxSfera FreeParking, AC, winda
It was a clean accommodation with accurate guidance and parking.

Tiny Pearl Apartment, Old Town
Oleg & Katrin’s place was beautiful and incredibly comfortable. We felt right at home while we were there. This accomodation has all the amenities required for a stay in Krakow. We especially loved being so close to a range of restaurants, convenience stores, a shopping mall and the main train station. We would definitely stay here again!

Old Town Lux Retreat~King Bed~Steps to Main Square
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a lovely stay at Monica’s place! There were three of us, including my 12-year-old son, and the apartment truly felt like a home away from home. It’s beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The location is perfect—just a short five-minute walk to the Old Town, in a quiet and safe building. My son loved the comfy sofa that turned into his bed, and he was so happy to have Netflix to relax in the evenings. We had plenty of space for all of us, a lovely balcony to enjoy our morning coffee, and even a small workspace that was really convenient. Monica thought of everything—there were fresh towels, clean sheets, soap, toilet paper, a washing machine, and even laundry detergent. Monica herself was a wonderful host—so kind, attentive, and always available if we needed anything. You can really tell she cares about her guests having a great experience. We would absolutely stay here again. Highly, highly recommend!

Your guide to Kraków
All About Kraków
Split in two by the Vistula River, Kraków is a thriving center of Polish culture and art where modern living is juxtaposed against nearly 1,400 years of history. Opulent Renaissance and medieval buildings line the open market-style streets of Old Town — the beating heart of Kraków, which sits under the Gothic towers of St. Mary’s Basilica. Visit Wawel Royal Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and from atop the castle’s hill you’ll have a spectacular view of the city. Just beneath the castle is the Planty, a grassy, tree-lined park belt circling the Old Town that people stroll along during the day, perhaps nibbling at a sesame-covered bagel as they walk. Cafe life in Kraków extends from the early morning to late at night, and you can spend an afternoon people-watching at an outdoor table. Nighttime sends revelers down to the stone-roofed underground bars and dance clubs, and from there, to the street stalls specializing in zapiekanka, open-faced sandwiches.
Immerse yourself in the city’s Jewish heritage at the moving Żydowskie Museum or the stunning Tempel Synagogue on Miodowa in the neighborhood of Kazimierz, now home to many art galleries. In recent years, the city has become a culinary powerhouse, with cuisines ranging from Ashkenazi Jewish and French to vegan, but you can always get a taste of 20th-century Poland at one of the city’s authentic Communist-style milk bars.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kraków
Kraków’s location offers a year-round temperate climate with warm summers and chilly winters. With Kraków being a cultural hub, festivals and events happen nearly every weekend throughout the summer, including one of Europe’s biggest jazz festivals, which features international musicians and occurs each July. Visitor numbers drop as the summer heat dies down, and there’s a chance of the odd rainy day during the fall, so pack sturdy shoes for the Old Town’s cobbled streets. The city’s location in central Europe means that winter days can be bitingly cold, so you’ll need a warm coat, and underground bars are a popular place to warm up. Foodies will want to head here in the spring to take part in one of the city’s many culinary festivals, such as the Chocolate Festival in March or the Pierogi Festival in April.
Top things to do in Kraków
Ojców National Park
Just 40 minutes north of Kraków, Ojców National Park is the best way to reconnect with the serenity of nature during your stay in Kraków. Climb to the ancient ruins of a cliff-top castle, Pieskowa Skała, or take a casual stroll through the lush woods, passing dramatic rock formations and limestone caverns.
Auschwitz-Birkenau
It would be remiss to visit this city without acknowledging and understanding its deep and troubling past during WWII. This concentration camp turned museum, located one hour outside town, is where 1.1 million people were killed, most of them Poles of Jewish descent, and a visit provides life-changing insight into the genocidal atrocities that took place during the Holocaust. To visit Auschwitz, you can take a guided tour that leaves from Kraków, or drive or take a bus from town yourself.
Trail of the Eagle’s Nests
This 101-mile trail takes in 25 medieval palaces and fortresses, many of which were built on vertiginous limestone cliffs framed by dense woodland. The section of the route nearest Kraków takes in Tęczyn Castle and its red-tiled tower roof, more than 400 meters above sea level. You can make the journey through the countryside by car, bus, or on two wheels, but bear in mind that the cycling route is longer.
