Cottage vacation rentals in Alps

We had a great Ascension weekend at Sandra and Mathieu's place. The accommodation is beautiful, tastefully renovated. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature and very quiet. Many daytime activities: hiking in varied landscapes (mountains, ponds, etc.), electric bike rental in Melisey (€35/day) and then games available in the accommodation. In the evening, make way for foosball games and the jacuzzi! I would highly recommend this rental!

We were warmly greeted by Alain and Clair on arrival – they couldn’t have been more welcoming, and their kindness really set the tone for our stay. The setting was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, a real escape from the hustle and bustle. The highlight for us was sitting and looking out at the river and waterfall right next to the property – the view was stunning and the sound of the water was so soothing. We left feeling completely relaxed and recharged. Highly recommended!

We had a brilliant stay. The house was perfectly sized for our group of 4 adults and 1 child. The hot tub was huge and was really relaxing after a long day out visiting local towns and cities. The place was peaceful and relaxing and although in close proximity to the owners house, it felt private and non intrusive. The house is perfectly based for visits to the Black Forest and exploring Alsace which we have enjoyed. Very clean, air conditioning and beautiful surroundings. Would recommend and would stay again.

I had a wonderful stay at this house. It’s located in a quiet countryside setting, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The highlight of the stay was definitely the jacuzzi and sauna, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The house itself is clean, well-maintained, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with great amenities, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful week in Gloria's house. Our four-legged friend also felt totally comfortable in nature. The house is small but nice and has everything you need. The property is a nice size and is perfect for eating outside, relaxing in the hot tub or just lying in the sun. The way to the house is a little challenging, but with a normal car and a little driving experience it can be mastered. Gloria was always available to us and gave us good excursion tips for the area in advance. Even with any inquiries, she always responded very quickly and helped us. To just get out and enjoy the nature and tranquility of Tuscany, it is perfect. We will be happy to come back!

We feel lucky to have stayed at this house—the views really are just as stunning as they are in the pictures. Boža and Dušan were very welcoming and we had everything we needed to really settle in for a few nights—the kitchen, for example, was very well furnished with all sorts of practical implements for real cooking (i.e. not just a few dull knives and a single ladle rattling around in otherwise empty drawers). We really appreciated the house's easy access to Italy, Austria, and of course the rest of northwestern Slovenia—it offers a great combination of dramatic mountain views and easy road access (so no daredevil driving up and down steep and rocky rural roads every time you want to get some groceries). I'm sure the house is lovely in all seasons, but it was especially enjoyable to take a dip in the jacuzzi with an overnight frost settling in and then cozy up by the fireplace inside.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations – even more beautiful than in the pictures. Quiet, private location with idyllic surroundings, yet all important places are within easy reach. We would have liked to have stayed longer and would come back right away.

Daniels cottage was great. It is located on a meadow in the middle of a forest in the hills and is extremely quiet and peaceful. A perfect place for relax and rest. All was exactly as listed and described.

Thank you to Lorraine for this choice establishment in a peaceful and flowery neighborhood in the mountains. The location is ideal for getting to Rapallo nearby or Portofino. The terrace is breathtaking with stunning sea views. The area is wooded and smells of jasmine which is always a pleasant surprise when you arrive. The bedding is comfortable, clean. Check-in instructions are clear and provided in advance with a responsive and patient host. Plan to pay a tourist tax in cash on the day of your departure, not specified when booking on Airbnb. Again, thank you for this wonderful experience and I hope to see you soon!

We had a truly wonderful stay. Gorgeous views from 3 terraces/balconies. Feeling of privacy, quiet, flowers and birds. Beds comfy, everything works. Martine is so lovely and was so helpful with ideas on where to go. Really cannot recommend highly enough. Merci Martine and hope to be back soon! xxx

Francesca and her kind family have created a once-in-a-lifetime, soul-grounding experience in this beautifully restored 14th-century hillside retreat in Portovenere. We loved every minute of our six-night stay. From the mind-blowing views and steep, invigorating hikes to romantic evenings sipping homemade, earthy concoctions thoughtfully left for us—it was pure magic. We were welcomed with fragrant bundles of fresh lemons, rosemary, sage, and thyme, a gesture that set the tone for the care and warmth we felt throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making our rest as memorable as our adventures. We especially loved our daily rocky hike down to the charming village, and one day we even rented a dinghy to explore the surrounding islands—an unforgettable way to soak in the coastal beauty. This place is beyond gorgeous—truly a slice of heaven.

The house and our stay exceeded our expectations, it is a wonderful place with extremely helpful hosts. We are coming back homes relaxed after just three days stay.

Great location right by the lake. Would highly recommend. Bruno was a great host and very responsive.

The house is perhaps 200 yards from the nearest other dwelling, up on the side of a hill, quite a way up, with beautiful views of the dolomites and down the valley. The house was well equipped and had a wonderful big wood stove for heat. There were hiking trails right out the front door as well as within relatively short drives away into the beautiful dolomites. Hiking here was a major draw for us. This is a peaceful, beautiful house that is not in the middle of amusements and restaurants although restaurants and two small grocery stores are just a short distance away. The host Manfred was very understanding and responsive. We absolutely did not want to leave.

We were fortunate to spend a month at Anna's cottage where we were made to feel very at home. Anna is very friendly and accommodating and alongside her lovely dog Isla, makes a great host. The cottage has everything you need for a longer stay and is both rustic yet modern. The surrounding gardens and views are beautiful and you have your own section of private outside space. Vicenza is only a short drive away and is stunning. Lake Fimon is nearby as are other varied sites. We would definitely recommend a stay at Anna's if you want to explore the Berichi Hills and surroundings. 😊

Dear Denise, dear Roger Your cottage is a true gem. A place to stay longer and to come back. Lovingly furnished and with a lot of practical sense. We didn't lack anything. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Denise and Roger, thank you for your attentive hospitality. It was a pleasure to meet you.

The Host was precise, punctual and very kind. The house is beautiful, clean, super-equipped, wonderful and well-kept garden. The indoor and covered car parking is also very appreciated. The area is beautiful, surrounded by greenery, with breathtaking views. Highly recommended.

Had a great stay at the cottage. The house is actually even nicer than in the photos. The area and location are great and the host is super friendly and helpful! We will definitely visit again! Thanks for everything Aloisa!

Nice break in this charming cottage, by the water. Absolute tranquility, and a particularly responsive hostess who was able to respond to our requests discreetly. I highly recommend it!

Wonderfully peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings! Anita was very helpful and communicative whole also allowing us to have a peaceful, private stay in a dream cottage. Sisteron is a beautiful little town. Everything in town is walkable from the home and there are supermarkets within a ten minute drive. Absolutely recommend this stay. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a truly wonderful stay (6 nights) at this beautiful house — just the two of us and our dog — and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The property is surrounded by a stunning, fragrant rose garden that invites you to slow down and breathe it all in. It’s incredibly peaceful, yet you’re just a short drive from the local village and Domodossola, making it the ideal balance of nature and convenience. Kali and Ken are amazing hosts — warm, welcoming, and generous in sharing their little piece of paradise. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. On sunny days, relaxing in the garden feels like a dream, and on rainy days, the cozy couch is the perfect spot to curl up with a book. Our dog also had the time of her life, enjoying the vast grounds and proudly watching over everything. Huge thanks to Kali and Ken for creating and sharing such a magical place. We’d love to come back!

First of all, it should be emphasized that Fabio is a wonderful, courteous and helpful host. The house is lovingly and stylishly decorated. The village is located in the middle of the mountains of Garfagnana and together with its surroundings it is an oasis of tranquility. From Bagni di Lucca, a 7 km long, narrow, winding road leads to Lugnano-Monti di Villa. On the route, you will pass 2 more small villages. One of them is Granaiola, where you can eat super delicious food at Laura's. We will be happy to come back :-) Anne and Helga

Lovely, very peaceful Rustico in the beautiful Valle Verzasca. There are lots of hikes in the surrounding, and the river is fantastic. The place is clean and feels homey.

AMAZING place! The views are unbeatable. Very private and unique experience.
