Vacation rentals with a fireplace in South Italy

Sonia and Paulo have invested so much time, energy and love into Villa Clelia. Together they have shaped it into a magical paradise where the weary traveller can relax in elegant comfort. No detail has been left untouched from the stylishly equipped and spacious accommodation with its al fresco dining patio to the splendid garden and pool area where majestic olive trees stand proud in a sea of closely cropped green lawn, and where aromatic jasmine cascades down the wall to the shimmering swimming pool, lit up like a film set with lanterns at night and blessed with birdsong by day. Sonia and Paulo are the world's perfect hosts. Charming, friendly, attentive and super helpful. They will guide you in whatever direction your interests lie, whether that be in the beautiful cultural and historical villages and towns in the area, the long uninterrupted beaches and bars of the coast, or hiking in the Aspromonte National Park. The local food is delightful whether you eat out or in. Heaven.

Thank you to Michela and Giancarlo for the most wonderful 10 day trip! Giancarlo was very flexible when our flight got cancelled. The property is beautiful and is a perfect base to explore the Amalfi Coast. It has 2 private areas to sunbathe with sun beds/umbrellas. It is a short walk to the nearest beach and only 10/15 minutes walk into Maiori, where you can get a water ferry or bus to anywhere required. Would highly recommend staying here - Wonderful host, beautiful surroundings, amazing property and overall excellent trip! Thank you, Dan

Excellent. A very special house for nature lovers. Secluded in a private bay. You can only hear the birds and the sea. Sunset included. Very nice host. He even caught fresh fish and prepared it deliciously. Unforgettable stay.

Wim’s place is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a family vacation. It was nice to be away from people and to finally relax. Stefania was kind, helpful, and personable. The home offered what we all needed. We cooked the majority of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Wim was proactive, and provided a complete guide to all things Puglia. Unplugged and unwinding is the way of life in Serranova.

Anoeta's place is a paradise on earth. Beauty, peace and space. It is a completely stress free environment that you Will never Forget. We are going to come back for sure.

The accommodation, like the Sassi di Matera, was exceptional and made our stay idyllic. Matera is a beautiful city, timeless and very peaceful. The accommodation, which keeps a very cool temperature despite the heat outside, is very well located in the old town. It is close to all restaurants and small alleys, so it is very easy to do everything on foot. Finally, Patrizia was very available and very friendly. I would recommend it in a second.

Incredible little cottage next to the sea. You share a courtyard with other apartments that has direct access to the beach. The cottage has a private terrace overlooking the sea, where we spent much of our time. Just a wonderful place--peaceful and serene with a few restaurants and bars in walking distance. Maia was a great host who gave clear instructions and communicated well.

What an amazing place to stay in Matera! We absolutely loved our time at Francesco’s wonderful sassi apartment. It was stunning to stay in an actual sassi, and the atmosphere of the place was authentic as well as comfortable and beautiful style-wise. We loved the decor. The bed was comfortable and the huge bathtub in the spa area was heavenly. There are very good restaurants right by the apartment, including the one directly across the street. It was so nice having the patio right out front looking out on the incredible town of Matera. We had lunch and aperitivo out there and it was pretty heavenly. Francesco is a kind and responsive host, and we were so happy to stay at his wonderful place!

I stayed with 3 other friends for 3 nights. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. She was able to coordinate a car rental to be delivered to the house for us. The apartment is really large, walkable to a great beach and restaurants and so peaceful. The kitchen is rather small, therefore if you’re looking to cook a ton, might not be the best for that, but was perfect for preparing breakfast and snacks. Overall, it’s a beautiful space, really comfortable couches and would definitely stay again!

A fabulous apartment. The roof terrace e was huge, nestled in the rooftops with views of the sea. We could have spent our entire trip there. There was an additional terrace so plenty of space. Marco went out of his way to offer advice, book a restaurant for our first night and offer sunbeds at a local Lido (GBeach). I could not recommend more highly. Hope to return in the future 😊👍

This was our first time in Rome and we could have not selected a better place to stay. Everything was as described, Raffaella was a great host and provided excellent recommendations. Trevi Fountain right outside the window!!!

An absolutely beautiful apartment, part of an old palace, right in the heart of Lecce. So full of character and charm. We couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring the town and the surrounding area. Clean and comfortable with air-conditioning which was great for the night time. Francesco even left us some local cakes for our arrival and was there to meet us to help us with our bags up the stairs. The roof terrace is absolutely stunning with views of the church and street below. I couldn't recommend enough. Thank you for having us ❤️

Our stay at Casa Gentile was absolutely perfect! The home was somehow even more beautiful than in the pictures, with the most gorgeous view of the Sea. Fiorella assisted us throughout our stay and she made our time in Praiano amazing. Gennaro and Fiorella arranged private transportation from Naples to Praiano, making our commute much easier. Fiorella greeted us and gave us a tour of the house, printed bus schedules, and even sent a detailed list of restaurant and beach recommendations. Her family took great care of us, helping us bring luggage up steps and even picking fresh fruit for us throughout our stay. I cannot emphasize enough just how welcoming Fiorella was, she certainly was the best host we’ve ever had. As for Praiano, there are internal busses that take you around the beautiful town, as well as busses to Positano and Amalfi, very close near by. The busses were often late, but I’m sure it’s because we came during peak season. Anyways, we can’t wait to be back one day. Grazie!

This is a beautiful apartment in an incredibly central location - literally around the corner from Piazza di Spagna. It was lovely to sit out on the balcony in the morning and in the evening, and enjoy being in the heart of Rome. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Plus, super comfy bed !

Marina was exceptionally helpful before, during and after our stay in the Old Stone House in Perast!

Staying in Paolo’s beautiful AirBnB was definitely a highlight of our vacation! The apartment was spotless and well equipped, but it was the rooftop terrace with its sublime views that made it extra special. We had coffee and local pastries there every morning, and a glass of wine there every evening! Though the apartment was beautiful, what made our stay the most memorable was the warmth and generosity of our host. Paolo not only went out of his way to pick us up at the train station in Foligno, he drove us all the way to Assisi for our departing train. In between he was always friendly and available to respond any questions or needs we had. We couldn’t have had a better five days in Spello. Thanks Paolo!

This is an extremely beautiful house in a perfect environment. It is very well furnished, sparkling clean and inviting to linger. We enjoyed the stay with the very nice pool and had been received very friendly and attentive beforehand. All in all highly recommended!

Beautiful villa in the heart of Puglia!!!!! Clean, spacious, perfect location. The pool was fantastic and the outdoor patio was perfect to enjoy during the day and night. Just 15 minutes from Monopoli and Polignano a Mare - super convenient. Tiziana (host) was extremely helpful and responsive when needed. Would highly recommend this place!!!

It is hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay here. First of all, Gabriella is a FANTASTIC host. From the moment we started communicating she was so helpful, booking activities for us and arranging for taxis with drivers who were so friendly. And her father, Giuseppe, was so warm and welcoming as well. The home was absolutely spotless, had so many amenities, and Gabriella provided so many thoughtful and nice touches that made us feel so well loved and cared for. They truly felt like family. We were here celebrating two 25th anniversaries between our two families, as well as the graduation of our children from high school. We could not have picked a more beautiful and special place. Two of our outings - a boat tour to Capri that started and ended in Amalfi and hiking the Path of the Gods, finishing in Positano - made us feel even better about our choice of where to stay. Those other two cities were packed, but Furore was so peaceful. We highly recommend this lovely home!

The villa is a gem. The views are unbelievable, the peacefulness was amazing and there are not enough words for the amount of help Diana gave us. Diana waited for us with fruit, charcuterie board, drinks and home made pastry. She set up all the transportation we requested and gave us suggestions of things to do. She even brought us flour at 9:00 pm so we can make crepes. The only thing that you can’t do is walk to places. So, if you are a walker and want a lot of things to do all day, you might want to pick a different villa. We spent time enjoying the views and peacefulness and had time to go sightseeing.

Daniele’s home was beautiful and very tastefully decorated. The whole team were very helpful particularly Francesca who We had most of our dealings with Francesca. She was brilliant very helpful and quick to respond to all our queries from local buses good restaurants and places to go and always very friendly. We enjoyed going down to the public beach and hiring a small boat for a few hours so we could view the magnificent coastline. Driving to different places wasn’t always easy as the roads are narrow and twisty and busy. We would definitely recommend hiring a small car as there are so many magnificent places to see.

A group of 3 couples we loved staying at Caterina's gorgeous house. Stunning location in a peaceful area with private beaches and stunning walks. Caterina is the perfect host with everything supplied including thoughtful pantry and personal items and an awesome kitchen full of great cooking appliances. wonderul deck for afternoon relaxing. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay there. The host was super responsive, and check in was seamless and professional. The place is clean and lovely, the view spectacular. We had a great time.

The villa is in an excellent location. There are 2 excellent restaurants on the street. We were able to sit outside and have an excellent view of the ocean . There are also 2 grocery stores. And there are several bus stops. It was easy to get on the local bus to go to Positano and Amalfi.
