Vacation rentals with beach access in Italy

Leonardo's place in Riomaggiore was everything we hoped for, and more! The apartment was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. It included so many little extras: a Nespresso machine, biscuits, Nutella (!), bottled water and even Prosecco! The balcony was absolute heaven. A perfect place to drink coffee in the morning, watch beautiful sunsets every night and to people watch at any time. The pizza restaurant right downstairs, Rio Pizza, had delicious pizza and the people there are so friendly and warm. There's also a gelato store right down stairs. We booked a sunset boat trip, which was so much fun, and left from the water front right below our apartment. I could go on and on. Perfect location, perfect apartment. We loved everything about it.

What a wonderful way to spend a few days in Cinque Terre! Andrea’s place in Manarola was stunning with absolutely breathtaking views. The hills and steps are not for the weak of heart but 100% worth the visit.

The location and views from the balcony are amazing. It’s a simple accommodation that had everything we needed to enjoy and explore the area. Host provided great insight about the area, restaurants and hikes. We would stay again!

The most beautiful space in a lovely seaside town. We had a very good time exploring close by destinations and walking around Stazzo and Acireale. We got groceries and dined on the balcony to enjoy the view and went swimming everyday in our personal lagoon steps away from the patio. Exceptional host and fabulous accommodations. Hope to go again soon!

Marco and Antonio were amazing hosts, the place is tucked away but an informative YouTube video that Antonio provided was super easy to follow and then Marco met us on the beach to let us in. The place is amazing and immaculately decorated with a super comfy bed. The location is just perfect and peaceful and the beach is gorgeous for a relaxing beach day. There are many lovely restaurants down in Mazzarò but it’s very easy to reach the cable car and travel up to Taormina. It was lovely to hear the live singer from the hotel next to us in the evenings when we sat out on the balcony. It may not be suitable for those with limited mobility and there were quite a few stairs involved in getting to the apartment.

Maria Sofia’s 2-bedroom penthouse must have the best view in all of Bogliasco. We wanted to spend all our time looking out at that view day and night! It’s spectacular. The unit is comfortably furnished, with everything you need. If you’re used to boxes of facial tissue or kitchen paper towels, & bottled water, there’s a Basko supermarket nearby. Furnishings are full of character—with vintage cameras, ships in bottles, even a vintage telescope! Plants, baskets, & cushions make the place homey. Lots of lovely restaurants & cafes within 10-15 minutes of walking, & so is the charming town center, with a piazza, church, stone bridge, wall art, green grocers, bakeries, & a gelateria with incredible gelato. My brother & I highly recommend Just Peruzzi, which has the most amazing & delicious Trofie pesto. Liguria is credited with inventing pesto, & at Peruzzi, you can really believe it! This was a wonderful vacation. Book early! This place is booked solid for the next 5 months!

Luca’s place was exactly what we needed for 3 nights in Riomaggiore. When we arrived we felt right at home. We frequented the balcony and loved having glasses of wine looking out at the ocean. The AC was needed and worked great. He provided all the essentials for the kitchen, although we ate out every meal. The stairs are manageable and just a symptom of the Cinque Terre architecture. Side note - if you’re over 6 feet watch your head walking up. Thanks so much Luca!!

Giovanni and Marina were fantastic hosts. They explained everything very clearly and they accommodated a few things we needed with a smile- it was very kind and more than necessary. I will stay here again and refer friends to stay here as well. The terrace for coffee in the morning is a priceless way to start the day.

Casa Caldeiro was the perfect stay and exceeded our already high expectations! The view is incredible—photos truly don’t do it justice—and the location might be the best in all of Positano. You’re just minutes from everything you’ll need, yet the apartment feels completely peaceful and removed from the bustle as soon as you step through the gates. The walk down to the apartment is also stunning. Grady was a fantastic host, offering trustworthy recommendations and making check-in and check-out incredibly easy. I highly recommend taking his referrals for porters and taxis—they made our entire stay completely stress-free. We would, without hesitation, stay here again. The value is unmatched, and we’ll gladly refer any friends visiting Positano in the future.

We had a fantastic time at the Marco Polo house! Beautiful surroundings and views enhanced by a very nice Mediterranean interior design. We loved the house and it was very convenient for us. You're minutes away from everything and from beautiful little coves where you can enjoy a morning swim :-) We highly recommend this airbnb.

The most breathtaking view ! Perfect spot only 10 minute walk to the town of Dervio. Easy to get the Ferry and explore other spots along the lake. 10/10 recommend!

What a spot!! Stunning views and Saverio is an amazing host, waited to let us in personally and was super friendly 😃

The most incredible home we have ever stayed at, it felt like a dream. Mario, was a fantastic host, the house was beautifully decorated, the view was stunning, the location was 10/10. We will never forget our stay at Casa lleana, and hope to come back again!

Frederica was super kind, bubbly, and helpful. The location of this Airbnb is unmatched. It is right across from the beach with amazing restaurants nearby, beautiful views, and privacy and security. We felt very safe and very comfortable here. Our only complaint is that the A/C and Wifi were a bit spotty and you have to pay a separate cash cleaning fee on top of the Airbnb price, but everything else was great. Definitely recommend this place!

Heaven on Earth! The accommodation is so beautiful and unique. The house is located on a mountain surrounded by nature and tranquility. It is equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed every second there. The view is simply breathtaking. Alfredo is a wonderful host. Thank you for this amazing stay!

Terrific place, very helpful host… will be back. Thank you Maria!

Graziella's home was beautiful and clean and it had everything i needed and more. Graziella was so kind and welcoming and she made sure i had everything i needed and even had breakfast items for me. She is truly a wonderful host. It was a perfect place to get away from the chaos of the bigger busier cities and relax in San Lucido beautiful quaint seaside town. There is a bus that comes through town a few times a day and the local tobacco shop sells train and bus tickets, but it only has one train. The adjacent towns are also very quaint and beautiful. There are a couple grocery stores and several shops in town that are very reasonably priced. People are warm and friendly and very helpful. The little town below can get lively and loud but the town shuts down very early. A car to see the beautiful surrounding area is definitely recommended. Paola has a few options but you will have to book in advance.

Beautiful apartment in a wonderful city. I will return!

Elena is a very kind, accommodating, and reliable host. She responds to questions lightning-fast and called me immediately after booking to inform me of all the important details. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. You won't miss anything. The internet works very well. The view from the apartment is unique and special. There were four of us there, two adults and two children, and there was absolutely enough space. The bed and the couch were also very comfortable. We would love to come back one day and highly recommend Elena's apartment.

We booked because another guest's review said "just go for it" and I would offer the same advice to others. We had a great time enjoying coffee & wine on the terrace while watching boat traffic on the Grand Canal. Although there are Vaporetto stops nearby, we walked almost everywhere we went and it was great to explore the neighborhood. For a quiet night in, stop by Fried Land (just around the corner) for excellent take-out pasta.

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The place is spacious, beautifully designed, and has an amazing view of the sea. One of my favorite features was the large rooftop — it’s green, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

Loved it. Really recommend. Just make sure you can handle the 150 steps to go up & down!🕺🏻💃🏼

Simply a wonderful place to stay! The apartment is beautifully situated with stunning views of the bay. It is exactly as it looks in the photos! Luca was an exceptional host - extremely helpful and responsive, there is nothing he could have done better. The property is well appointed and a tranquil refuge on this stunning coastline. I cannot recommend highly enough and will definitely be back!

Very compact and well equipped apartment with a balcony looking out on the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius. Looks like the photos. 24 hour concierge Short walk to Piazza Plebiscito and close to the Spanish quarter
