Il Rifugio del Pescatore - Studio
We couldn’t have picked a better Airbnb! This place was in the perfect location in Marina Grande near Ferries, Bus and Train Lift up to Capri Center. We stayed 3 nights and loved every minute. We people watched from the front porch with stunning views and glasses of wine! We got to cook simple breakfast in the mornings and explore all of Capri! Everything in the island is breathtaking! Just do Capri and make sure to visit quaint Ana Capri which is quiet and charming with tons of artisan shops with amazing food! Also if you stay just book this place! The washing machine made it so easy for us to keep our wardrobe clean. Bed was comfortable and was fantastic! Enjoy everyone!!!

Luxury seaside attic with private sea access
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!

Salerno and Amalfi Coast at the Top
We had a very lovely stay at this apartment - the host was welcoming and patient because we arrived a bit late for our check-in on the first night. They gave us a complimentary bottle of sparkling rosé along with some delicious biscuits, which was a really nice touch as well. The apartment is very beautiful, and we especially loved the balcony and living room area, with fabulous views of the coastline. You don't get a full sunset, as the sun sets behind the mountains, but it is still nice and for most of the evening the balcony is a sun trap. The were nice views, but the beach opposite the flat seemed a little bit dirty to be honest. But there are loads of beautiful beaches around the Amalfi Coast, and this apartment is well situated to explore places nearby. My only other critique is that we weren't shown how to use the air con units on arrival, so the apartment was very hot at night, and too noisy to open windows due to the busy main road. Other than that - really enjoyed!

Porto Marina Apartment
I had a great stay here, the place was beautiful and spacious! So close to the beach and the port which are both beautiful. Giuseppe and Anna were both very helpful and kind too. Wished I was staying for longer

Infinito Luxury Residence, Atrani (Amalfi Coast)
This place is beautiful! The views are amazing, and do not disappoint. The wall to Amalfi is only about 11 minutes from here, and extremely manageable. It was nice to stay in Atrani, which was a but quieter than Amalfi itself.

Lachea Seaview Penthouse - CIN IT087002C20ZDqzejy
Phenomenal views. Pristine and well kept apartment. Massive sunny balcony. Air conditioners in all major rooms were excellent. WiFi is excellent. Great restaurants, bakery, small grocer and barber within 50 meters. Only caveats: 1. make sure you are ok with stairs 2. If you rent a car, street parking is the only option

The volcano lover
Fabio was so nice and answered every question we had!

ArtNap Boutique - Chiaia sul Mare-Centro-metro 2 min
The apartment is exactly as stated. No surprises. Host was helpful and accommodating.

NUMERO 6 - A house with a view - Lake Como, Italy.
Wow. One of the best air bnbs that we have ever stayed in. The place is even better than the photos. The outside space is private with an amazing view of the lake. Laglio was a perfect place for us, quiet and authentic. We took the bus and ferries to get around as we were without a car. As long as you are organised and ready for a busy bus it’s completely doable without a car. Nico’s food recommendations were all excellent. Our favourite place was the family butchers / cafe close to the apartment. We went there nearly every day for drinks, steak, meats and cheese. We also cooked some basic meals at the apartment which we recommend as it’s a lovely space. Nico and Wendy were amazing hosts, so helpful, responsive and accommodating. Thoroughly recommend this place and we are already looking at their other properties for another holiday! Book now ☺️

Breathtaking view - Casa Caldiero Anemone Di Mare #4
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.

Romantic & Private Lake Como village house
Perfect stay at Louise appartement. Everything match expectations, nothing to complain and only enjoy :) thanks a lot Louise, very much appreciated.

Casa Tilde 2: Lake Como Magnificent View - Jacuzzi
Andreas place is great. Extremely clean and tidy. Had everything we needed for our stay in lake como. The view is stunning. It’s also in a good location. Great host, very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend. Only thing to note is dervio is a 15/20min walk for the nearest trains and busses which we didn’t mind as enjoy walking.

Cosmo Suite Monopoli Relax and Pool
Everything was great! Location was perfect and the space was lovely. Hard to beat the private pool!

Casa Ileana (CIN: IT072035C200034605)
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!

CASA BLU by the sea
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.

5 Terre, Tellaro: The Suite..by the sea
It went very well, Lola welcomed us and accompanied us, the contact went very well. The village is beautiful and the location of the apartment by the water very relaxing. The small terrace overlooking the sea was very nice. We hope to be back very soon.

Central Apartment-8min walk to station-Rialto area
An absolutely perfect stay! The apartment is spotless: very clean, well arranged and tastefully decorated. We immediately felt at ease there. The bedding is extremely comfortable, which allowed us to rest well after our days of sightseeing in the magical alleys of Venice. The location is ideal, both very quiet and close to the main sights, while being away from the crowds. Everything is thought out for the comfort of guests: well-equipped kitchen, functional bathroom with soft towels, efficient air conditioning, and even a few small touches upon arrival that made us very happy. Communication with Mirco and François was fluid and warm from start to finish. Responsive, welcoming and good advice to explore the city like a local. I would definitely recommend this apartment. He went a long way to making our stay in Venice unforgettable! Grazie mille!!!!

Luxury House Dogana 37
Great stay in Salerno! The hosts were very communicative and made check-in and check-out smooth and efficient. The apartment itself was modern, stylish, and felt quite luxurious. It’s in a convenient location—close to the beach, port, airport, and with great transport links nearby. However, even with the location, the apartment was still private and not too much noise pollution around. Plenty of amenities within walking distance, and the hosts even helped arrange our transfer to the airport. Would happily stay here again!

Seaside Apartment – Adults Only
I stayed in this beautiful apartment with friends to celebrate an important milestone. The view from the house is absolutely spectacular and falling asleep with the swaying of the sea was unique. Special thanks go to Elena, who is always present, attentive and super helpful... thank you very much. Highly recommended

[Clock Tower Apartment] Historic Center
This apartment was like a true Italian experience. It is cosy and thoughtfully designed using space cleverly, especially in the kitchen. It has 4 balconies and overlooks a busy corner ( pedestrian street) below. Fun to people watch, both locals and tourists. The location is in the heart of the old town and has many restaurants close by. Easy to walk to the beach ( a few minutes away) and the fish market and all tourist sites. We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in this very comfortable apartment even though it could be noisy at times it didn’t bother us. A great place to stay.

Design flat next to Via Toledo up to 4 people
This was my second time in Naples. My goal was to find a location to say that was at the heart of everything but was also quiet and clean. This apartment was PERFECT for this. I was able to walk to all the main attractions and easily take the ferry’s for day trip (walking distance to main port) and come home to a peaceful, spacious, and clean apartment. The only warning I have is the stairs to the top- but honestly I welcomed it because it justified all the great food I was eating.

Duomo: Historic Center and Metro Just Steps Away !
A fantastic stay in the heart of Naples! So much to do, walkable and Raffaele is super responsive and prompt. We loved our stay in Naples. ♥️

Delightful location with amazing views
Giorgio’s apartment was fantastic—light-filled, beautifully set up, and with the most spectacular view. It felt more like a well-loved home than a typical Airbnb, with all the amenities you’d expect from a fully functioning house. Check-in was seamless thanks to Giorgio’s daughter, and we immediately felt at ease. The location is perfect for day trips to Portofino and Cinque Terre, and just a 10-minute drive away is the charming town of Camogli—all in all this home was one of our favourite stops during our three-week trip around Italy. We absolutely loved our stay and only wish we could’ve stayed longer. Hope to return again soon!

Hyperpanoramic. Very central. Up to 4 people
Perfect location for enjoying the restaurants, bars, and sights of Napoli. Also highly recommend if you're thinking about day trips to Ischia, Procida, and Capri...the ferry port/marina is only 10 minute walk from the apartment. And while the location is the 'middle of it all', the architecture of the building keeps it quiet at night...you'll barely notice you're in the center of Napoli. Also, the view from the balcony is incredible and such a wonderful way to either enjoy sunrise, or the evening light at sunset hitting Vesuvius.
