Mansion vacation rentals in Mediterranean Sea

From the moment we arrived Luigi and his family were extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. On our first evening we were given 2 enormous freshly baked pizzas. Most welcome after a long day travelling here. As a party of five adults we stayed for two weeks and glad we did. The views from the Terrace were amazing, with spectacular sunsets. From the large deck and pool areas you can quietly relax and enjoy views of the sea or mountains. At meal times the fabulous gas Webber BBQ was greatly appreciated. Inside the rooms, there were some charming, decorative features which added to the ambience of the property. A large open kitchen/lounge area provides a lovely social space. From the property was a fabulous walk with amazing views over the Bay of Naples and Versuvius. The small village nearby is very friendly but as mentioned in other reviews a small car is essential which our hosts also helped us to arranged.

My husband is in a wheelchair and Maria went out of her way to rent a wheelchair for our stay. The villa looked better in person than in the pictures. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked, including a juicer for fresh orange juice.

Olesia’s property was STUNNING - the photos don’t do it justice!! So spacious and well equipped, just a wonderful experience. It’s a 45 min walk in to Cefalu and pretty steep back but we had a hire car so no issues, just something to bear in mind. We had my 1 year old son with us and it’s not the most child friendly property (located on a steep hill, which is great for views but not for toddlers!!) but we absolutely loved our stay and I would definitely recommend.

Villa Lina was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The house was clean, had new and comfortable bedding, had plenty of space for our family, and the view was outstanding. The place is very private, high up on the hill, but with the instructions from our host we had no trouble finding it, even in the dark. The driveway is about 1/4 mile, steep, with parts of it gravel, and has several sharp turns, but we made it no problem with the small jeep we rented (without 4WD). Just take it slow. It is about a 15 minute drive back down to the town center of Lucca and the train station and 10 minutes to a grocery store. The back roads are very narrow until you get to a main road so use caution and we were lucky enough that others backed up for us when we met on the narrow spots. The view and seclusion were well worth the drive up for us. If you want an amazing view of the Tuscan countryside, but also a short drive to a neat town and a train station, Villa Lina is a great choice!

We LOVED our stay at Nathalie's lovely home, nestled among the vineyards. Exactly as advertised, if not better, it was a beautiful home, nicely decorated and both spacious and cozy. The beds were comfortable - important when staying as long as we did - and we had all the modern amenities we needed in this very old "castle". We had no trouble getting Ubers/taxis into Bordeaux proper when we needed to and it was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet of the location. Even better than the house itself, Nathalie was a very gracious, extremely helpful host. She helped us arrange a chef to cook for us on our first night there and even selected an array of wines to go along with our meal. She was very responsive leading up to our stay and throughout. If you want a relaxing and luxurious stay near Bordeaux, definitely book this location. I hope to come back!

Valia’s villa was a dream! Gorgeous view, modern, well appointed. The pool was lovely and the air conditioning worked really well. Can’t wait to return!

A group of 8 of us had a wonderful stay at James's villa. The property was exactly as pictured and was immaculately clean. James himself was friendly and responsive. I would recommend!

Everything was amazing and even better than on photos! Will come back again with great pleasure

Great communicative host, beautiful house - the pictures don’t do it justice!

Roberto is a great host, he is very caring and supported us super with all questions. We always felt very comfortable. The house is in a fantastic location, on every level with great views of the sea. The highlight is the private access to the sea. The pool offers everything you need for a great vacation. Parking is available on the property. We had a VW bus, a motorcycle and a small rental car with us. (and mountain bikes) The proximity to the airport was very convenient for us because we were there with the whole family and our children arrived at different times. A private car is necessary to be mobile. For us, it was perfect because we needed about 50 minutes to the climbing paradise San Vito del Capo and could also go to Palermo. The distance to the most beautiful places in West Sicily can be reached in <1 hour. The residential area is very quiet and well maintained and we always felt safe. Thanks to Roberto

I can't say enough positive things about the apartment and Christian. Christian went above and beyond letting us check-in early and meeting us a few blocks from the apartment so that we could unload our luggage before returning the car we rented. He even carried our huge bag up the three flights of stairs! He gave us great restaurant recs and also arranged a car to take us to the airport at the end of our 4 night stay. The apartment is in a prime location right near Comp di Fiori. It was clean, airconditioned and large enough for our group of 7 to spread out. I highly recommend this airbnb!

We had a lovely two-week stay in Madrid, using this apartment as our home base. Located right on Plaza Mayor, with lovely views out the doors and from the balcony, this is a fabulous location. We were concerned about noise being a problem, but it really just showed the life in the Plaza and was quiet by midnight. We opted to eat off the plaza most meals, as there are better options and more affordable (less touristy). Easy to get to many parts of Madrid from this location, whether by walking, catching the train/subway, or getting a taxi. The apartment is very nicely appointed with a great kitchen and living room. Beds and bathrooms were nice too. We highly recommend this for families and groups visiting Madrid!

Cristina was a fantastic host and was always available to provide us with anything we needed. The house is perfect for a family getaway and the location is idealic. Would definitely recommend staying in Cristinas wonderful home

Wow! The Curina Luxury Villa was truly a home away from home. Our family enjoyed having lots of indoor space, connected to the amazing outdoors via large windows throughout the house. We spent most of our time being or looking outdoors, and enjoying the pool and outdoor sitting and dining area. Valentina could not have been more accommodating. She arranged for an early checkin so our daughter could take a business call, was available for questions all of the time and went above and beyond duty to ensure a package carrying my husband and my forgotten passports arrived in time for our journey home. This place was a delight and located within easy driving distance from lots of lovely natural and historic sites, and wonderful cafes and restaurants. It was great!!!!

We would stay again without hesitation. Beautiful home, very helpful host. It was a wonderful stay in Agathi’s place. Clean, well kept, no complaints whatsoever.

Our family of 8 had a glorious stay at Stuart’s. this gorgeous home and setting fit exactly matched our Cycladic dream! Stuart was proactive in his communication, created a group chat in advance to connect our group with the manager Katerina, sent a car to pick us up, & cleaned the place mid-stay. There’s a binder full of recommendations and Katerina is quick to respond to queries and send along Sunny the handyman for a repair the one time we needed something fixed. Town is a 15 min walk- though not super stroller friendly. On calm days we loved swimming off the rocky outcroppings out front and snorkelling. The home was equipped with everything we needed for family beach days, from water shoes to floaty toys. The kitchen also had everything with could wish for from a blender to Bundt pans.

Wow, as good as the photos are - they understate the size of the property which is gigantic. It is a mansion, not a house and you’ll forever be finding additional seating and areas throughout your stay. The property could use a little love, but ultimately this adds to the charm and evident history of the villa. Paintings, ornaments and the likes are littered through the house adding to the intrigue. Thankfully the roads leading up the villa are wide and well paved once you get to the private compound gate (2 km’s), and there are better roads than others pre this point. There is a stray cat which likes to rest on the property, however it does keep to itself and may not be permanent. The bedrooms are huge, all with ensuites and the dual kitchen gives you options too. It really is a special place to stay with amazing views of the water, city and mountains.

We stayed at this enchanting villa for 2 weeks, it exceeds all expectations! A dream! The communication was super friendly, quick and helpful, check-in is easy, the location is quiet and the view and the house are simply phenomenal. I was swimming daily in the heated pool overlooking the sea. Pure luck. We hope to be able to spend our time here again soon. Thank you for everything!!

A great and very spacious place on a quiet bay where we had a view of 2 dolphins playing in the sea during breakfast in the morning! We arrived around Easter and then there are some shops closed but there was everything in the fridge for a great breakfast, very thoughtful! Swimming pool was a little smaller than expected (you really have to swim in the sea) but definitely worth 5 stars!

I don’t even know where to begin – this house is beyond incredible. The photos do not do it justice. From the moment we arrived, it felt surreal — like stepping into a dream. It’s by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed in. The outdoor space is just as spectacular ! a gorgeous pool, countless seating areas to relax, and not a mosquito in sight (a pleasant surprise!). It felt like we had our own private paradise. The beach is a short five-minute walk away. we laid out our towels, swam, and walked right back. Pure bliss. A car is definitely a must for getting around Djerba, but there’s parking on-site, a shop 3mn walk with the nicest manager and a Carrefour market just five min drive. Our hosts, Karima and Mustafa, were exceptional — responsive, warm, and helpful from start to finish. I also want to give a special thanks to Ahlem, who cooked us one of the most delicious meal. If you’re considering booking – don’t think twice. GO TO DAR ANDALUS. You won’t regret it.

This villa is absolutely amazing. Blew us away! The place looks great in the photos but they really don't do it justice. Kevyn was a great host and really thought of everything. The effort he went through to accommodate us went above and beyond. if you are considering booking this villa then just do it, you won't regret it.

We had a wonderful 11 days at Villa Cathrin. The proximity to the sea is fantastic, the complex offers many possibilities to make the vacation days varied (table tennis, all kinds of sand toys, board games, billiards). We had complete peace and quiet and enjoyed the seclusion. The welcome was so warm - thank you again for that. Please note: You absolutely need a car, because the villa is very secluded. Unfortunately, there were also too few towels for us. So better to bring a few more. The accommodation is a bit outdated. The pool pump is very noisy at night, so the windows often had to be closed. This may be a difficulty in the middle of summer. However, these points did not weaken our positive experience and we would come back anytime. Highly recommended!

Yvo is the best host one could wish for and his location is nothing but fantastic! Would book the same house again anytime without a doubt! Thank you for an incredible stay at your lovely place!

What an amazing stay! The views from the villa are spectacular, and the villa itself was immaculate. It felt so private & peaceful. We had Chef Niki come for a private dinner and a cooking class, and he was fantastic. Brunella and Giacomo were very helpful and responsive before our stay and throughout our time there. I’m already dreaming about coming back!
