The tenth door
Fantastic stay and location to get around Lake Como. Has everything you need!

Buona vacanza. Beautiful house by the sea, center of Sanremo
Exceptional location for enjoying Sanremo on foot. The apartment was impeccable, very well-equipped, with lots of special touches (coffee, cookies, wine, lots of shampoos, shower gels, cream etc.). Dina gave us some great tips for sightseeing nearby and made sure everything went smoothly for us. We'll be happy to go back! Maybe by train next time because parking is complicated in Sanremo but on the street of the apartment if you are lucky to find a spot, parking is free. Thanks Dina!

Beauty House - Apartment in Maiori
This appartment in Maiori was great! The appartment itself is beautiful, spacious and practical. The location is also great as it is 1 minute to the beach, 1 minute to the bus stop, 2 minutes to the shop and 5 minutes to the port. Couldn't ask for a more convenient place. Patricia met us on arrival and was very responsive throughout the stay. Thank you! The only thing the appartment did not have was leftover salt or oil to get you started with cooking so just pack your own if you plan to cook.

Apartment LE TRE SIRENE
Perfect location in a quiet and quaint town , for visiting Liguria coast and CT. Highly recommend this clean spacious and comfortable appartement. Levanto has a nice beach and everything you need.

Marina11 Apartment - 60 meters from the beach
The apartment was perfect, we had a great time! And we especially enjoyed the balcony. Overall a wonderful stay

La Gianchina di Vernazza - Central Cozy Apt Wi-Fi
This is the perfect apartment for the Cinque Terre. Fantastic location with awesome views. Spacious & well stocked bathroom & kitchenette. Honestly…it was better than the pictures! Plus Host, Luca, was extremely kind & helpful! 100% Recommend!!

New apartment on the second floor facing the sea
One of the best views of the sea we've ever had! This location was so beautiful and drinkong espresso on the terrace overlookong the ocean was absolutely wonderful. There are a ton of places to park and a ton of things in walking distance too. This is a very lovely place to stay!

Apartment 2 seafront
Beautiful sunrise. Super apartment. Elvira is always available ... also for other questions (train ticket). tiny little problem .... slow Wi-Fi... Streaming is not possible ... better bring a Wi-Fi amplifier.... but she can't do anything about that.

One-front beach-front..casa Manuel
I had a fabulous stay at this cottage. The location was quiet and perfect for relaxing days. The house was extremely clean, compact and fully equipped – nothing was missing. The host, Marcella, was very friendly, caring and helpful. She was always quick to respond to our questions, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Thank you Marcella! Will definitely come back!

Villa in Aeolian style
A simple but beautiful villa with plenty of space, several terraces and a beautiful and unobstructed view of the sea. From there you can explore the area on foot or by car and you can discover something new every day. Be it the Castello, the Capo Milazzo or the old and new center of the city. The house is simply furnished, not up to date, but this also has its charm. Yes, there are no real showers or air conditioning, but this has been made up for by the view, the spacious garden and much more. I would like to highlight Alessandra and her family. Super friendly, helpful and respond very nicely and promptly to inquiries. Thank you for 2 great weeks in Sicily.

Villa Villacolle
Roberto's villa is breathtakingly beautiful! We stayed as a family of all ages from kids to grandparents and everything was wonderfully thought out. Roberto was there to welcome us and his generosity was unsurpassed from helping with our first shop to local restaurant recommendations, we cannot thank you enough for making it such a wonderful trip! The pool was spotless and the layout great for a big group! The photos do not do this place justice. Would have loved to use the pizza oven, next time for sure...we cannot wait to return xx

Cottage: Lakefront View COMO Parking AC
The lockbox to get your keys is not located where Google maps says for directions. it took a some time to locate where to get the keys. it's in town across from the ferry. near the ice cream shop.

Beach villa great view, chill space, dogs welcome
We had a wonderful stay in this house. Our family of five stayed upstairs and grandma could comfortably come dine with us then retreat to her own apartment downstairs. The kids loved having the beach just a stone's throw away and the fact that you can walk into town via the old train line is really great. We had everything we needed to dine in, though one of the best restaurants we ate at during our stay was a local recommendation that Michela made. We used the house as a base to drive around the island looking for secret beaches and exploring the surrounding towns then would return in the evening to drink wine in the secluded garden. It is really a great property!

puglia nest 3
Typical apartment on the ground floor, with the possibility of feeling a place leaning in front of the door a chair on its paved street, cozy and with everything you need.

Villa for 7 people with view and access to the sea
Nathalie is attentive and very helpful. The villa has excellent spaces, especially those outside, and is equipped with every comfort and appliances. The proximity to the south entrance of the Zingaro Reserve and one of the most evocative coves in the Gulf (Mazzo di Sciacca) are a considerable added value. Comfort and privacy guaranteed!

Norah Studio
Cristina’s place was amazing! It was everything we could’ve dreamt of and more. This is a serious must book Airbnb if you’re travelling to Venice. The location was perfect, the Airbnb was immaculately clean and Cristina’s restaurant recommendations were incredible. Would 100% come back. Thank you!!

Apartment in Seafront Villa
Salvatore was a very kind , responsive and helpful host. He seemed genuinely concerned about our enjoyment and well being and was very helpful when we needed help solving a medical issue. His place was very clean and comfortable. The location was great because it was quiet and peaceful but very close to restaurants and shopping. The view from the harbour is stunning.

Single-family home in Vari with garage and pool
Quiet residence and close to all amenities, with a box for cars, small bonus for the very uncrowded pool A big thank you to our host who was incredibly kind and gave us all the right addresses and places to visit in order to make our stay perfect! I would recommend it 100%

Marina Grande Inn, near the sea in Sorrento
My husband and I loved staying here! Francesco was flexible with check in time and met us with the keys right outside. He even helped bring our (overpacked) bags up to the unit and gave us great recommendations. The location was perfect for us - walkable to the busy part of town (also a bus that runs to the center if you're not up for the walk), but quiet and private compared to the city center. Would definitely stay here again!

The terrace overlooking the sea
Great stay at the property. I preferred to stay outside Rome and pay daily visits. The season was still off, but I could find anything I needed. Overall, a good experience for a family of 5.

Terrace with a sea view
We loved the Island of Favignana. Patrizia place was perfect. It felt like home. very clean, well stocked for cooking. She greeted us and was always available if needed. Very convenient to walk into the town centre only a few minutes. Highly recommend anyone to stay in Patrizia place.

Flat in the Ancient Port, with car parking
An excellent apartment equipped with everything needed for a one-week stay. Great location, very convenient: the city center is 15 minutes away, and the metro is nearby if needed. Giulia is a kind and understanding host, always available and responsive. Highly recommended!

The Balcony at the Pier
This is one of the best Airbnb stays we have had! If you are looking at this listing and it is open on your dates, just book it now. The location is the best in all of Cefalu; the view is breathtaking. It's an easy walk to the train station and grocery store. Vincenzo is truly a super host and equipped the place for all of our needs. This is a full size penthouse condo, not just a couple of makeshift rooms like some places. It has a full kitchen and full size living room and bedroom. The bed was super cozy; be aware that it is in the old city and there can be some late night street noise but it didn't disturb us. Also be aware that it is several floors up a good set of wide stairs and no lift as it says in the listing. The kitchen is also down a short flight of stairs and it has a nice view too. The kitchen also has a nice complement of cooking utensils. We would love to give more than 5 stars to Vincenzo if possible. Thank you for a superior stay and also for the nice gifts!

Apartment with fabulous sea view
We had a great time, surely in summer it offers incredible comfort since it is on the sea.
