Cottage vacation rentals in Balkans

We loved our stay in this beach house by the sea. Allesandro had made it very comfortable and provided so many extra treats. It was so quiet, relaxing and calm with great restaurants nearby and many beautiful places to visit.

Great place to enjoy Puglia. Manuela did a great job! Thank you, thank you!

What a wonderful place to escape to. A beautiful home, amazing views, wonderful pool and hot tub. Very clean and well cared for. Saavas was incredibly helpful and friendly & accommodating. Can’t fault it at all. In fact I feel very lucky to have found these four nights as it’s booked up way in advance normally. A tiny piece of paradise. Taverna was closed next door but that just made it more peaceful (maybe noisier if open but still private) - such an interesting time of year before the season started - watching all the Greeks get everything ready for the season! Pool was cold but the hot tub was amazing and warm so was a great balance. Easter was a lovely time to visit especially as very lucky with the weather. Did get eaten alive the first night so beware of mosquitos but we found the special plugs, & were more cautious after that. Maybe it was early season, maybe the recent rain. Loved the Swallows and house martins that flew over for a period morning and evening Perfect…

Amazing place

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 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.

We had a great time in Podkum. The location was really beautiful, beautiful surroundings and a lovely garden to sit in. The kitchen was very well equipped in terms of equipment and crockery. The bedrooms had nice beds and we didn't miss anything. Lilijana took us to the house, was extremely flexible and welcoming. In short, recommended if you love peace, nature and quiet in a comfortable and cozy home.

Very nice, she was an amazing host, very friendly, very helpful, 10/10 breakfast really made the trip worth it. Highly recommend

A beautiful house in the countryside! It relieves you of any negative energy and fills you with experiences

excellent! best Airbnb experience that we had. beautiful surroundings, very calm and private. also great with kids. super lovely garden and balcony. Myron's mother is very hospitable and the house has all the amenities and small details that you might need during your stay! thank you very much!

There were two of us with a dog for 7 nights at Franzes. The location of the accommodation is quiet and perfect, with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of privacy. The house is rustic and tastefully furnished, there is really everything you need for a great vacation. The entire lower floor incl. three areas in the outdoor area were only for us. It was particularly nice that there are fresh eggs from the chickens every day, which you can take yourself. Frances is a quiet, likeable and very friendly host who was always there for us. We felt completely comfortable and would be happy to come back. For travelers with dogs, it should also be mentioned that the accommodation is very dog-friendly. There are meadows around the house, so the dogs have a lot of freedom. Everything was well prepared and it was very nice – both for us and for our four-legged friend.

This villa is absolutely beautiful. It is better than the pictures even show! The views are incredible and everything is so tranquil. There is one restaurant within walking distance, but with scooter rental and taxis, everything was accessible. Valentino was a great host and helped us with whatever we needed (restaurant reservation, taxis, etc). It is a beautifully maintained property and I highly recommend staying here!

Matej is a fantastic host – incredibly attentive and kind without ever being intrusive. He made sure we had everything we needed, gave us great tips for local activities, and even gifted us a bottle of his homemade wine. The accommodation isn’t huge, but it’s beautifully designed with handcrafted furniture that adds a lot of charm. The location is simply stunning – we enjoyed beautiful sunsets, relaxing on the terrace in the Jacuzzi, and the view from the sauna is absolutely unbeatable. The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful, with lots of nature to explore and peaceful scenery all around. On top of that, the people in the region are exceptionally warm and welcoming – we felt right at home. We truly didn’t miss a thing. Highly recommend!

A lovely little house overlooking Alyki. We loved the views from the terraces and the wood burning stove kept us warm during some of the colder evenings.

Even though we arrived late (classic lost tourists!), Serafim was very accommodating, kind, available, and welcoming. The house is beautifully decorated, full of charm and attention to detail, and set in the middle of a peaceful olive grove. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket, and there’s also an adorable dog on the property that made the stay even sweeter. The region is stunning, and we truly can’t wait to come back!

An ideal place if you like privacy. In the morning you can go straight out of bed to swim in the sea :) This is what makes this accommodation exceptional. Although there are urchins in the sea right opposite the house, it is safe just a few meters further along the beach. The owners picked us up at the port and the communication was excellent the whole time. But it was not necessary, as everything went perfectly. Thank you and I highly recommend it.

Paxos is an unspoilt Greek island with stunning beaches and a relaxed vibe. We stayed at Villa Anatoli in Paxos Sunrise Villas, hosted by the wonderful Antonia. The villa was immaculate, beautifully designed, and fully equipped with everything needed for a home-away-from-home experience—including an abundance of kitchenware for food lovers. The outdoor space was fantastic, with a private veranda, alfresco dining patio, and an easy-to-use barbecue. Mary’s daily cleaning, complete with towel sculptures, was a lovely touch. The resort’s beach setup was exceptional, with sturdy sun loungers, built-in shades, and seamless integration into the landscape. Water shoes are recommended for the rocky seabed. Gaios is a 15-minute walk away, and rental transport from Antonia made exploring easy. Thoughtful extras like a herb garden, quality towels, air conditioning, and electric shutters enhanced the stay. Antonia’s hospitality, from port transfers to surprise bottled water, made our stay bliss!

A beautiful haven of tranquility. We loved Ivan’s place, amazing views from the big windows and we enjoyed sitting on the deck with a Montenegrin coffee watching the birds. The stars at night were spectacular. In close proximity to Zabljak but far enough away to have total peace. We enjoyed driving the Durmitor ring, swimming in the black lake and visiting Tara River Canyon for rafting. Durmitor certainly has a piece of our hearts and Ivan’s place was the perfect base to explore.

Great stay! House is rebuild beautifuly with a lot of attention to small details. Host is very welcoming and nice. Perfectly clean and very cozy house

We have just returned from 10 wonderful nights at Villa Marianthi Wow what an amazing stay we had! The Villa is very comfortable and it has the most amazing dreamy views. It is in a very peaceful, secluded and quiet spot surrounded by olive trees.. The pool area was fantastic along with the barbecue.. Eirini and Dora are the most warm friendly and lovely ladies, they made us feel very welcome! we will be returning next year… and I should imagine every year after that too!

Highly recommended! What a beautiful oasis on the mountainside, beautifully decorated and set up for all your needs, we could live there! Unbelievable and romantic views, and our hosts were very communicative and kind. Would stay again!

Our stay here was idyllic, a little slice of heaven. The area is very peaceful and private, the perfect escape. The house was very clean and well stocked with anything you might need. Michael is a gracious host with excellent local knowledge full of tips of where to visit, things to see and places to eat. The house comes with all manner of water sports accessories (paddle boards, kayaks, snorkle) which the whole family enjoyed. The garden is spectacular with many spots to sit and relax among the olive trees and forget about the world for a while. Many thanks to Michael for a wonderful stay. We hope to return in the future.
