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.

Manuela est une hôte attentionné et très sympathique. Nous avons passé un agreable séjour dans un lieu authentique. Je recommande les yeux fermés

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…

Her şey harikaydı

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.

Die Unterkunft hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen – noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Ruhige, private Lage mit idyllischer Umgebung, dennoch sind alle wichtigen Orte schnell erreichbar. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben und würden sofort wieder kommen.

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 hebben het ontzettend leuk gehad in Podkum. De locatie was werkelijk prachtig, mooie omgeving en een heerlijke tuin om in te zitten. De keuken was heel goed voorzien qua apparatuur en servies. De slaapkamers hadden lekkere bedden en we misten niets. Lilijana heeft ons naar het huis gebracht, was enorm flexibel en gastvrij. Kortom, een aanrader als je van rust, natuur en stilte houdt in een comfortabel en gezellig huis.

Ενα όμορφο σπίτι στην εξοχή! Σε αποφορτίζει από κάθε αρνητική ενέργεια και σε γεμίζει εμπειρίες

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!

Wir waren zu zweit mit Hund für 7 Nächte bei Franzes. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist ruhig und perfekt, mit einer entspannten Atmosphäre und viel Privatsphäre. Das Haus ist urig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es ist wirklich alles vorhanden, was man für einen tollen Urlaub braucht. Die gesamte untere Etage inkl. drei Bereiche im Außenbereich waren nur für uns. Besonders schön war, dass es täglich frische Eier von den Hühnern gibt, die man sich selbst entnehmen darf. Frances ist eine ruhige, sympathische und sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, die jederzeit für uns da war. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder. Für Reisende mit Hund ist noch zu erwähnen, dass die Unterkunft sehr hundefreundlich ist. Es gibt Wiesen rund ums Haus, sodass die Hunde viel Freilauf haben. Alles war bestens vorbereitet und es war sehr schön – sowohl für uns als auch für unseren Vierbeiner.

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!

Codrin est de loin le meilleur hôte chez qui nous avons séjourné (airbnb et autres). Le logement proposé est parfait pour une escapade dans la nature loin de la vie citadine. Codrin est plus que disponible pour, avec plaisir, conseiller des activités et des randonnées superbes. 5 étoiles nous paraissent minimes après à ce beau voyage qui mériterait bien plus ! Merci pour tout et Noroc ! 😁

Ein wunderbares, liebevoll gepflegtes und eingerichtetes Häuschen im Grünen. Sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Man fühlt sich sehr willkommen und möchte am liebsten viel länger bleiben wie geplant. Der Nationalpark ist direkt auf der anderen Straßenseite. Unbedingt zu empfehlen. Wenn wir mal wieder nach Bosnien kommen, werden wir auf jeden Fall hier wieder vorbeikommen.

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.

the kindness the Evelyn and her daughter showed was beyond what I expected. They were so kind! This location was literally a dream! The winding roads lined by flowers up to this beautiful home took my breath away. It was so nice to have a private pool to relax at after a hard day at one of the most clean, Crystal clear beaches in the world. It is impossible to choose a bad restaurant in the area. Only thing I will say is that a rental car is a must here, but totally worth it! I could not have asked for a better experience and I WILL be back!

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.

Un petit logement très propre, fonctionnel, cosy ! Conforme à la description et parfaitement adapté pour un séjour à deux dans un cadre paisible et agréable. L'hôtesse Elina est exceptionnelle, très accueillante, réactive. Ce logement et son hôtesse nous ont permis de passer un séjour parfait sur l'île de Corfou ! Nous recommandons vivement et nous reviendrons si nous repassons à Corfou et que le logement est disponible ! Bonus : le joli chat qui vous attend quand vous ouvrez les fenêtres le matin et que vous rentrez le soir ! Elle est adorable et très câline (nous adorons les chats donc c'est un gros plus !).

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!

Our stay at Malandrino Cottage was nothing short of magical. The surroundings were even more stunning than the photos and the living space was well thought out with everything we might need/listed amenities. It was so nice being outside the hustle and bustle of town while still being within a 15 minute drive. I highly recommend this stay!
