Amazing house in beautiful countryside setting. Very warm welcome.

We really enjoyed our stay. We were welcomed by Anna's mother and shown around the trulli. It was every thing that we expected. Anna came and introduced herself when she came home form work and she told us where to find the most convenient super market and restaurant. (Top class restaurant only 5 minutes away) She also helped us with our planning about what sights to see while in the area. Our daughter who lives in Sweden decided to join us for our time in southern Italy and Anna allowed her to join us in the Trulli with very little notice. On our last night we spent 2-3 hours with Anna and her father where we shared a drink and were able to ask all our questions about life in the local area and explore the differences between life in New Zealand and Italy. Great place and great people.

Anna is very easy to communicate with. Very helpful and attentive.

Fantastic Trullo accommodation a 10 minute drive outside Cisternino in beautiful countryside surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Anna's mother Tonia was there to meet us and with many hand gestures and smiles we were introduced to the delightful trullo. The large lounge and bedroom were both comfortable rooms and the kitchen and bathroom were well equipped. A lovely basket of goods awaited us and the fridge was stocked with orange juice, milk and wine. There are patios both front and back with table, chairs and sun-loungers and a barbeque area. By October the evenings were getting chilly after beautiful sunny days and temperatures of 26 degrees but the efficient central heating kept us nice and warm. As a base to explore the lovely hill towns nearby it was perfect. Our favourite, Martina Franca was a 15 minute drive away, but Locorotonda and Alberobella are also close by. Overall we'd have no hesitation in recommending Anna's trullo. The directions for getting there look complicated but just follow them and it's no problem.

Beautiful quiet countryside setting in a lovely and well maintained trulli in a perfect location to explore Loccorotondo, Martina Franca, Cisternino and Alberobello! Very photogenic & clean accomodation with a wood fire place, gas top stove/oven, comfortable bed and everything you need to cook yourselves if you wish.. highly recommended to ask for Anna's sister Veronica, if available, to run a cooking lesson (she's a trained chef). If you do, have it on your first night's stay as you'll likely have leftovers! We stayed for 3 nights in November cooking/reading/relaxing but could have stayed 5. Best AirBnB experience we've had.. Anna and Veronica were lovely..

All was great. Really cozy, secluded, but a close drive to all.

We had a magical experience at trullo edera. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and after spending a week in the busy, tourist packed cities of Florence, Venice and Rome, Puglia was the perfect refuge to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Anna was incredibly welcoming, and her mother even gifted us some homemade wine for our honeymoon! The trullo was in the perfect location to explore the regions adorable towns, olive estates and pristine beaches. It was the favorite part of our vacation. I highly recommend staying here!!

Anna was an incredibly gracious and accessible host! She made sure that every comfort was provided and all questions answered. I Setti Coni is a BEAUTIFUL property, well located for daily excursions, and a delightful place to stay! I hope to return very very soon, and stay longer. Grazie per tutto, Anna!! Terri

The listing description was perfect, and the photos were a true representation of the space. It truly is indescribable though. It's just a gorgeous spot. Rani was easy to chat with, but we didn't really need anything! I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a gorgeous setting!

Everything is Amazing about this place. From the adventurous drive up the mountain to the beautiful view over looking the beaches of beautiful California, to the beautiful sunset over the mountain and the water. Will be back again!

This place is MAGICAL!! Will definitely stay here again! The drive is a bit intimidating but worth it!

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The place was excellent but the owners was rude

Had a great stay at Rani's airstream. Make sure you read all the instructions! Because I did not and was lost on a mountain for an hour with no service. Do not use Waze, only (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps. I also wouldn't drive here late at night, with all the rain California has got it made driving pretty scary. The drive is not for the faint of heart, or maybe I'm just a wuss. The place is absolutely breathtaking. If you're trying to escape, this is the place to go!

amazing view

Absolutely magical place, will definitely be back!

The hosts were extremely helpful whilst we got our barings are helped us prepare for hikes and activities along with getting us confident on the moped

Hideout is an amazing experience. The village is stunning and the locals are super friendly. Wayan looked after us above and beyond, he cooked us lovely meals and at a great price. The building itself is incredible. Definitely one for nature lovers!

Very nice place, everything was perfect. Wayan, our driver, Alena and everybody who helped us were very nice :)

We were the first guests in Alena's and Jarmil's Hideout and we immediately fell in love with their place. The house is entirely made out of bamboo and has its own powersupply using a water mill. We arrived by our own rental car and thanks to the driving instructions it was easy to find. The house is situated between two villages next to rice fields and a river in which you can even take a bath, all in all a very romantic scenery. Nyoman, a true Balinese from one of the villages who is there for you to organize trips is very helpful. Indeed we were able to visit a Balinese ceremony of his village with him which was very insightful. This is the real Balinese life, as he put it. There are many activities related to nature and culture that you can pursue in this place where you will probably not meet any other tourists. We only stayed two nights to climb Mount Agung, but we wish we would have stayed longer! On our last day, we visited a lady from the village who produces coconut oil and took some home with us for our own kitchen - pancakes are delicious when made with this oil!. We can highly recommend Hideout to people who would like to escape from the tourist-flooded areas in Bali and spend their holidays in a beautiful, remote place to explore the real Balinese culture and beautiful nature!

Our experience at the Eco Bamboo Home came with mixed reviews. We absolutely loved the scenery and beautiful landscape surrounding the house. The details put into the house are amazing. Even the outdoor shower was beautiful! Wayan was a great host, cooking us dinner both nights we stayed there. FYI he doesn't always respond if you text him asking for food but he always delivers yummy hot food. One problem was that there was a small kitten staying in the house. When we first arrived this kitten was beyond cute. As 2 days went on the kitten became the most annoying thing ever. It would consistently cry keeping us far from relaxing. We couldn't help by feeding it as there is no food in the home. Wayan only fed it (barely) twice a day and it constantly cried for food. Even when we were upstairs trying to relax, it would be crying for us. It would only stop when it fell asleep. If we sat downstairs it would relentlessly cry for our attention making it very difficult to just relax in such beautiful environment. If you're ready for the real nature of Bali experience, this place is perfect. More animals, insects, and plants then you could ever want! Just be prepared for it all!

The most incredible experience in Bali to date. Waking up to the sound of the flowing river, morning cuddles with Kiki the kitten and breathtaking views. I could not find a single fault with this incredible home. This is a place to come and relax, let go and reconnect.

Thnx

Our stay at Hideout Eco Bamboo Home was absolutely amazing. No words to describe it. Perfect location, away from city hubs, in a peaceful land surrounded by rice fields, river and just NATURE! The house itself is so well decorated and suitable for living. We even felt safe not closing the front roller door:) p.s. we also enjoyed the motorcycle rides, such a thrilling experience! Many thanks to Alena for creating such a miracle for everyone!

This is really a very very unique 'house' in the jungle! The setting on the cliff, in the middle of the tropical forest is already super. But the design, concept and building of the villa itself is truly a masterpiece. We will never look at bamboo with the same eyes again! The spaces, the views, the details, the service (breakfast, massges,...). Next time we don't go to Ubud center anymore (disappointing) and just stay in the Bamboo Villa as it reflects the true Bali spirit better in our opinion. Last detail: the small private and bigger 'public' natural pools are perfect refreshing oasis. Get there, it's unique !

Amazing experience in an out of this world bamboo house with friends. Loved everything about the avant Gard and sustainable design, just wish it was smaller... For a smaller footprint. But we understand the village is showcasing huge extravagant design as that seems to be what people want. It's a great experience and chance to see the bamboo factory and amazing green school. A great prototype for future sustainable and elegant building. The architecture seems to breathe with you. Aaah....beautiful

Our host was very welcoming and helpful. She gave us some great suggestions of places to visit. The house was as beautiful as the pictures. There were alot of bugs, especially the first evening and this was due to wet season, however our host was very helpful and did assist in every way she could. There was a big improvement the second night and we were able to enjoy our stay. The area is quiet and serene, and at night the river can be heard beneath you. Very relaxing. The house is very spacious (could hold 6ppl) and really beautiful. Overall, an incredible and different place to visit and stay. We probably wouldn't visit again during the wet season but would definitely return during dry season.

I stayed Sunrise House with great view. Enjoyed healing time. Local foods and international foods by the house were good. Problem is that there is no restaurant around the house. But you can reach to good restaurants in Ubud by taking car 30min. Anyway it was so great experience staying the green village.

Everyone should sleep at least once in a house like this...a perfect dream (URL HIDDEN) it if you can.

The bamboo house was above all our expectations (2 families with teenagers) for a number of reasons 1. The wonderful Eva - she really did everything she could to make our visit fantastic. She smiled as we dithered at the range of options (and then we'd change our minds) and then organised everything. Eva even made sure we all got to the chocolate factory on time by picking up our slower walkers on her scooter. 2. The house - it really does look like the photos. Sleeping in comfy beds, safely protected by large mosquito nets and listening to the river rush by below - such bliss. Making omelettes and fruit juices for breakfast and sitting at the table overlooking the valley - such bliss. Sitting in the pool in the evening with fireflies around the bushes - such bliss. 3. Everyone's pride in and enthusiasm for the houses - from the designers and their models, through to Patrick and his builders turning the dreams into reality through to those who took us through the houses. 4. The walking tour - across the bamboo bridge with the river rushing below, up through the 5-storey house ohhing and ahhing at everything, down the quiet road to the Bamboo Factory and meeting Patrick to hear about the process and then to the Chocolate Factory and salivating over the smell of cacao. The Green Village is 1/2 hour from Ubud. Our piece of advice would be to go as many different ways as possible - from the south, west and north - as each is scenic in its own way and gets you to a different part of Ubud.

What an experience! We stayed 3 nights for our honeymoon. Must love nature and be on the adventurous side. Great place to relax and enjoy the views of greenery surrounding the villa. Excellent staff and really happy with the food too! Thank you for a memorable visit.

Amazing place to stay and definitely an experience to remember. However, there was a lack of places to relax other than sitting in the tree house, no chairs or relaxation area beside our pool and it was very overgrown so we couldn't sit out and enjoy the sun. The communal area was a bit outdated and also overgrown so wasn't really a place you could go to either. A bit disappointed with our driver that came to collect us to take us to the Green Village for the first time. He didn't say hello or welcome us in any way and the journey was in silence so it left us feeling a bit confused. Other than that I enjoyed my time at the Green Village. I would recommend staying here for one or two nights I spent three nights here and it was maybe too long due to the lack of things to do and the distance to places.

Amazing location. Beautiful cabin and wonderful hosts!!!!!! The photos on the website can't explain how great the place really really is. Once you show up it is ten times better then you can imagine after looking at the on line photos. Great great great!!!! All I can say .... you need to book and go there.....

I loved this place so much that I booked a couple days for my mom and my sister. Yudy, as always, was extremely helpful and welcoming. My mom and my sister had a wonderful time. They drove all the way from Bogota and had no trouble at all finding the finca. Yudy arranged their itinerary and they got to visit different towns and attend different shows. Yudy even took my mom shopping on their last day and got the best deals for her. I will definitely be back to the Cabana soon!

Wow this place is amazing. Great for a couple looking for a getaway and also for a small family to relax, enjoy the weather and enjoy the views. The service is excellent, the food is delicious.

Yudy and Ariël are angels and super hosts So super sweet and helpfull We loved the place ! The cabana is awesome The garden and outdoor Shower is to die for Do your self a favor and book this place ! We didnt want to leave

Excellent experience all around! Beautiful place, great people, incredible property and great side trips to do...couldn't ask for more! Highly recommend. Yudy (your host) is amazing!

We had a great experience at Yudi and Victoria's finca. Yudi made us feel very welcome and the cabin was fantastic! What a view! We got to pick maraycuas in the morning that turned into a really nice juice for lunch. Everything was perfect =)

Amazing place and amazing hosts! Yudi, Natalia and Adiela are the best! Will defiantly come back!

Amazing cabana, plan to spend some time here to enjoy the nature, peace and quiet. Be sure to confirm pricing of any other services in advance to avoid surprise hefty bills at the end. Location is not close to public transit however and the driver recommended is very expensive.

What a lovely place to spend a retreat from the hustle and bustle of life. This beautiful, eclectic house is just minutes from the village and the Joshua Tree National Park. Cynthia the custodian was away whilst we were there so we had the entire place to ourselves. She left tons of great guides/maps for us and delicious tea in the fridge. We spent many happy hours taking pictures of the Joshua Trees at sunrise and sunset on the property and star gazing at night. We totally fell in love with Joshua Tree and can't wait to come back... maybe when it's cooler though!

My girlfriend and I spent 2 nights at Joshua House this month and had an amazing time. The house is super eclectic and quirky, very much to our liking. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with essentials. We brought our own food and cooked a few meals there, but also ate out at some of the JT restaurants that were all very good (and surprisingly super healthy) as well. The grounds to the house were awesome. Almost post-apocalyptic, complete with plenty of joshua trees, old beat up oil drums, fencing made from scraps of wood, signs and old shutters and even an old beauty salon chair sitting out back. The hot tub was great and super clean. We spent hours in it, with the color changing LEDs going while drinking wine and looking up at the stars. I can't report much on the bedrooms, only because there was a porch bed that we moved (carefully) to the open yard and slept under the stars both nights. It was simply incredible counting shooting stars before falling asleep. Cynthia, our host, was very friendly and gave us lots of tips on where to go to get food, drinks and some really great thrift store shopping. Joshua Tree National Park is only a few minutes away by car. We went once during the day and once at night. Both times taking some incredible photos of the magnificent desert, rock formations and my favorite, the pristine night sky, where you can see the Milky Way with your bare eyes. I have become a Joshua Tree believer. PS - I hear they might be renovating the house soon..I hope it does not change much, as we really enjoyed the overall feel it had. It was a great experience and I would love to come back again very soon.

Had a wonderful stay at The Joshua Tree House, our host communicated very well prior to arrival and during our stay. The house is just as pictured and it was fantastic be there for the solar eclipse. I personally fell in love with playing some of the awesome record selection while relaxing on the swinging chair in the living room. I would highly recommend this getaway and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Stayed here for New Years with friends and loved it! The house was charming and comfortable, and the jacuzzi made it totally worthwhile. The location is great, close to town and the west entrance of the national park.

This was our first airbnb experience and it couldn't have been any better. The house is beautiful and exactly as pictured. Sara & Rich have curated a perfect place to stay in the desert. Can't wait to come back to this place.

This home is right in the heart of Joshua Tree Town and a great spot to explore the national park. The home is very rustic and beautiful. It is definitely an experience to remember! Communication was great with Sara and Rich and they provide the cutest booklet of things to do and see in town. The beds are very comfortable and since there are two beds it could sleep 4 comfortably. We had a problem with the TV and the AC in the living room and Rich called us back quickly to help us use the TV. The AC in the livingroom never really got cold though so we were very hot during the daytime. The AC in all the other rooms was great! There are so many options to choose from on the Apple TV. The only thing I would forewarn about it that there are many flys and ants inside the home. It didnt bother us too much but just be aware of it and use the fly swatter :)

Our group was split between the House and the Casita – both were incredible in their own right. Lots of outdoor space for relaxing and a serviceable AC system for the hot summer months. Both places were much more homey than we expected ((SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) definitely adds to the lavishness), but I couldn't imagine a better way to experience Joshua Tree.

Cynthia was a fantastic and welcoming host! My girlfriend and I stayed for three nights over Memorial Day weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The house is quiet and extremely clean and features a fireplace, plenty of porches for reading out of the sun, a great jacuzzi, and a nice kitchen. The location is a short drive from the park entrance and also conveniently close to restaurants, grocery stores, and the brilliantly odd Sky Village swap meet. Thanks, Cynthia!

The Cob Cottage is *exactly* what AirBnB is all about-- a window into another way of living that lets you experience, for a few days, what it might be like to, say, abandon your 9-to-5 and move to a remote Gulf Island. But the Cob is better than any ephemeral fantasy, because Alexis and Manny have done everything you could imagine to make all your vacation dreams come true. The Cob itself is a magical place, comfortable, cozy, and full of handicrafts and foraged natural objects; add to that Alexis and Manny's warm hospitality and generous supplies of homebaked bread, fresh eggs, seasonal floral bouquets, candles, music, good books, wood for the fireplace, etc. and you have the makings of a truly memorable stay. I can't say enough about our experience at the Cob Cottage-- if you want to unplug, breathe deeply, and reset, this is the place for you.

do yourself a favor and book a stay here. it may be one of the most magical places you've visited! the cob house is a beautiful oasis that will make you feel at the same time pampered and connected to the earth. it is spacious (with a huge private yard!), charming, comfortable, and unique. Alexis and her family, along with the ducks and sheep and chickens and bunnies were absolutely delightful hosts. and Mayne Island is a beautiful location that's perfect for a weekend getaway or longer stay (i stayed a whole month!).

This cottage was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Cozy, warm and relaxing. We got to get out and hike around town everyday and thanks to the WiFi got to come home and sit by the fire to watch movies. The bed was crazy comfy and we had everything g we needed. Clean towels, warm shower, kitchen to make food, fresh water and we even got farm fresh eggs, milk and bread. Thanks Alexis and Manny for everything. Especially the early morning lift to the ferry today! Well be back for sure. Nina and Anthony.

I booked the cob cottage for my parents' 30th anniversary. They had a lovely time! In their words: We’d like to thank Alexis, Manny, their two children and Sam for their graciousness in hosting us at the cob house. It was a great joy to stay on the island. Alexis and Manny are wonderful hosts. They made us feel very welcome. We had fresh bread and eggs from their own chickens waiting for us. Sam was a very good substitute for the cats we left behind. We nicknamed her our 'Peanut’ of the North. ‘Peanut’ is the name of one of our cats Sam most reminded us of. The cob house was amazing with all the smooth curves in the designs, the flow of the building was very comforting. Having never stayed in a house like this before, I never realized how one could be affected by space minus the ‘harsh’ angles. It was just as pleasant to look at as it was to move through. We look forward to visiting again. Perhaps our daughters will come along. Thanks Again, Tony and Hazel

We really enjoyed our few days in the Cottage - it really is a very fun and unique place to stay, especially if you're coming from the city. The island is quiet and beautiful and the perfect place to decompress. We are keen to come back and stay longer, explore the island, do some hikes, kayak etc. Alexis, was great in helping us with a lift back to the ferry and we thoroughly enjoyed her bread + eggs! We didn't want to come back to Vancouver.

Overall amazing experience - thanks for an cozy comfy & zen weekend!

Everything as described. Only surprise was fresh farm eggs, milk and loaf.

This place was amazing. Alexis greeted me when I arrived, and she was so kind. We chatted about the origins of the cottage (great education for me!). The place was wonderful. Everything advertised and more. It is a lovely walk to the stores for some grub or anything you might need. You are so close to different shoreline access points. The sheep that the owners have roam the yards and were so fun to chat with and watch. The cottage is extremely comfortable. I enjoyed my tea, a fire, and the solitude immensely. I would and have recommended this place to anyone else. It was great to find a place at a wonderful location that was easy to navigate, feels off the grid, without being tons of work to the guest. The layout of the place is so fun, and the spaces to sit and read or write in the cottage are ideal. The delicious bread that was awaiting my arrival was a great treat, and the island was a wonderful, wonderful place to escape. Such a quiet but kind community. I honestly enjoyed my 5 day stay so much, and I was very sorry to have to leave.

What a serene community you are welcomed into! The hosts were so lovely, space was even more quaint than listing highlighted, lovely, lovely time. Don't miss the hummingbird extravaganza and goat milking...hike behind the mushroom is pretty fun, too! Recommend the felton stream train ride through redwoods, as well, which our host pointed us to.

Kitty was an amazing host! Clearly deserving of her Superhost title. She was super welcoming and offered great tips about the area. Not only was the mushroom dome all that we expected and more, there is also goat milking, a nice hike to the ridge, and hummingbirds galore! Needless to say, a great spot to visit with kids. We would definitely return.

This place is a real retreat for everyone who likes peace and quiet. An amazing location and a comfortable cabin, what else would one want? In addition, Kitty and her creative family are such joy to know and be around. My daughter absolutely adored the goats and Gismo, Kitty

Five stars all the way :) We stayed at this magic place over a month ago now, and we're still thinking of our wonderful experience there! The cabin was a unique enchanting "nest" for humans! it was really clean, and the surrounding nature mesmerizing..ahhh hummingbirds!! In fact, the only thing that surpassed the beauty of the place, was Kitty's kindness and warm hospitality, she made us feel like we knew her forever. Thanks Kitty, we'll certainly come back. Nabila & Raouf

A perfectly peaceful and relaxing stay in the Mushroom Cabin. Kitty and Michael are as accommodating as they are full of energy and respect for their environment. Very inspiring. A great place to consider and talk about our upcoming marriage. Thank you!

We had such a great time! Kitty made my daugter and I feel right at home. We decided we will be coming back again in October! Such a unique experience.

I loved staying at this place. It was truly a spiritual experience staying amongst the redwoods. Kitty gave us an amazing tour of the place, making us feel right at home.

This was just such a fantastic special stay. Kitty was super lovely, accommodating, informative and communicative, the perfect host. Cant wait to go back some time.

Loved every minute! One of the most charming places I've ever stayed with amazing views. We just got home today and are already booking our next trip back!

My wife and I had an awesome experience in Rachel's A-Framed Cabin up in Cazadero. It was everything we expected and more! The record player added a great touch to our stay!

What an amazing getaway spot! This cozy cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable two night stay. We picked up groceries, grilled outside and ate under the stars! We also took in the beautiful redwoods and scenic river views. It's a great spot for relaxation and Rachel was very communicative and friendly.

Rachel was a terrific host,she was always available if we had a question or needed directions. The cabin was amazing-it was so unique and comfortable, the books were great, and the vinyl! I was so happy to hear records again,the music is so much warmer. The bed was SO comfortable, and the back deck roomy,we bbq'd and it was perfect. It wasn't quite cold enough for the woodstove, but to know it was there was nice. Loved the bathroom setup, and the new front stairs outside are beautiful! So much to do there and the surrounding areas, we definitely hope Rachel will have us again, it was a very memorable and lovely memory. Thanks Rachel,you're wonderful and the cabin is too, we loved it! I left you a few art pieces as tokens of our gratitude and to leave a piece of us like you impressed us with a priceless experience. Loved it, hope to do it again!!!!

Our stay in Rachels cabin was wonderful! The directions she gave us were very clear so finding it was not a problem. We loved the record collection and the fireplace! I highly recommend her cabin for a lovely stay in the woods and even near the ocean!

The cabin is lovely. The Sonoma area is gorgeous. We would love to stay again. Romantic and quiet. Rachel was a great host.

This was just what I needed. Such a beautiful cabin. Cozy indeed. I would certainly come back. Wooden cabin, fireplace, record player. What else can you ask for? :)

Experience of a lifetime.

Kristie is a creative genius! This home was everything I imagined and more. Closer to home than New Zealand, but just as magical. The attention to detail, cute surprises, and treats and hot cocoa bar were icing on the cake. Thank you for the hospitality and opening your doors to fellow hobbits!

Staying at the Hobbit Hole was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations of our life! My husband and I LOVED the location and the surrounding views! The Hobbit Hole firnishings were perfect in every way! We were thrilled with the map she sent as it looks like an old pirate treasure map, or, I suppose, one a Hobbit might use. The drive up left us wondering a couple of times if we were going the right way but when you arrive, it is incredible!!! Our host left us coffee, tea, cocoa and baked goods served with cute wooden silverware. We especially liked the serene quiet and waking up gently to the sound of birds! We are sharing our experience with our family, friends and coworkers because we feel everyone should try to stay here at least once in their lifetime! Put the Hobbit Hole on your bucket list!!! We will be returning soon to this beautiful place on the mountain!

This Hobbit Hole was magical! Everything was as described! Location and views should be a 10 out of 5. Made John want to move to Chelan to see it on a regular basis.

Kristie must be a hobbit at heart -- what a wonderful place. My fiancé and I are big LOTR nerds and really appreciated how detailed and thoughtfully done this little dwelling is. She also made it clear that she was available and eager to help if we needed anything. Perfect hobbit hospitality! & FYI, sunset and sunrise are breathtaking there -- make it a priority to catch them!

We had a lovely stay at The Hobbit Inn that included wood whidling, sage collecting, bird watching, trough tubbing, and view admiring. We felt instantly at home and as our visit progressed, we didn't want it to end. The round door was a portal into Bilbo Baggin's world and we were delightfully transported. The woodwork and details sparked our imagination and curiosity of the building process, and now we have many questions!! The bed was comfortable and the snacks were beautifully wrapped. We enjoyed visioning a hobbit community with a kitchen to share, and we got creative with the food items we brought so we didn't have to leave. The birdhouse was full of babies and chirps and made our morning full of music. Thank you for the magic and sweet memories and deep seeded inspiration. We look forward to seeing more as time goes on!

Everything was perfect! The view is better than the pictures let on. We got up for sunrise and saw a family of deer just down the hill. It was a lovely experience for any LOTR fan, or even someone just looking to get away from it all. My only piece of advice is on the directions, it says to turn at chelan springs road and while there is a sign that says chelan springs, the actual road is called mountain spring road.

Thank you for creating such a magical place for others to enjoy. We had a wonderful time, the views were amazing and all the details were spectacular.

Incredibly amazing stay & truly magical anniversary celebration for us! Thank you very much in building this spectacular place! Must do if you want a unique experience in a peaceful & relaxing environment! We even saw four shooting stars during our stay! Highly recommended!

The listing was easy to find with the accurate instructions provided, and the rooms were exactly as listed online. Although Simon & Wendy were not present during my stay, the staff operating the B&B did a fantastic job making guests feel at home. Food served from the kitchen was delicious and professionally prepared, both breakfast and the evening dinner (though the dinner menu was limited). For guests wishing to see the area around the listing, there are many places to go and things to do, and the staff is happy to help. WiFi was available, but the signal strength was not necessarily high in all of the rooms, so guests who absolutely need to use WiFi may wish to confirm which rooms they are staying in, but it was not a problem for me during my stay.

We stayed during the Bank holiday weekend. Augill castle is an amazing unique place to stay. The pictures don't do it justice and it looks even better in real life. We stayed in the Langdale room which is great. You can dine with all the other guests on the same table which is a great experience if you like being social. There is also an honesty bar which stocks a wide variety of British alcoholic (craft beers, wines, spirits etc) and soft drinks. Would highly recommend - who wouldn't want to live in a castle just one time?!

We had a lovely stay at Augil Castle. In fact, we loved it so much we stayed and extra night even though we had to switch rooms! My husband and I were traveling with our 2 kids ages 10 and 12, who loved running around the grounds, hanging out in the library and watching movies in the small adorable theatre. Our meals were delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. Our favorite part - the honesty bar. Like a kid in a candy shop, we got to choose from a large variety of British spirits and a wonderful wine selection and then hang out in a fabulous little bar or meander to the music room. Dreamy. The rooms are delightful and all are different. We spent 2 nights in the Little Castle, which is detached from the main castle. It was very sweet, private and quiet with its own kitchen stocked with milk and tea/coffee. We also spent 2 nights in the main castle, which was wonderful as well - unique beautifully appointed rooms. Wifi is spotty. We could get it reliably at the Little Castle but not in our rooms in the main castle. If we weren't trying to plan additional parts of our trip this would not have been a big deal as it is lovely to disconnect. However, I do think it's important to know for planning purposes. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended for all.

What a fabulous place to stay, it exceeded all our expectations. Excellent food, luxurious rooms, great coffee, ideal location for exploring the dales and the lakes. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful location. Very unique. Wish I would have booked a longer stay. Loved the bar very cute & the movie room. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing place that is highly unique.

So so so wonderful castle ,helpful host, modern facilities, beautiful gardens...... We can enjoy the cinema, the library freely. My son plays games and toys with other kids very happily. Clean and big bedroom made us have nice dreams! I will surely come again!

Had the most magical (and amaaazing!) weekend at Augill Castle! Wendy was so kind to us, she picked us up at the train station when we arrived (thanks so much Wendy!!). The castle was beaaautiful and so tastefully decorated, and all the staff were extremely kind and friendly and were so helpful! You'd instantly feel at home at Augill :) the room (Pendragon) was amazing and the beds were so comfy it was so hard to leave!!!! Will definitely visit Augill again someday, thanks for the magical memories!!! :)

We had one night experience in Augill Castle which was good. Wendy recommended us Orangery room which is good for couple who want to hide away from other guests. The day when we arrived, Wendy's daughter Emily gave us a fast tour and showed us the honesty bar. We met Wendy in the morning, she was also friendly and easy communicative. The breakfast was fantastic. Overall, it made our castle dream come true.

We had a fantastic 3-night stay at the house. As we were on our way, Linda contacted us to let us know that there was a fire in the area. She kept us well informed and pointed us in the right direction for further news. The house is the perfect place for relaxing - no clutter, well equipped, a beautiful panoramic view over the valley and outdoor chairs to admire it. A unique and highly recommended experience!

What a fantastic place! I think it is fantastic that Linda makes her place available through Airbnb -- it gives us a chance to really try on and experience great architecture and a beautiful setting.

I arrived with a jumbled mind and all the weight of the world on my shoulders. I left feeling energized and clear headed. Hands down the most peaceful and relaxing experience of my life. A beautiful house that lends itself to the beautiful desert.

What a magical and breathtaking place! Stunning, spotless, serene. I feel privileged to have been able to stay in Linda's impeccably designed house. My stay was fantastic and I hope I can return again in the near future.

The house is really such a wonderfully designed place that you are spoilt afterwards for the standard house. Great architecture in a fantastic surrounding so you can just sit inside enjoying the view in that amazing landscape or looking at the sky and watch the light changing. And you become aware of the waste of energy in our daily life because you have to save it for cooking and lamps if you don't want to sit in the (URL HIDDEN) it's an eye-opener in every sense.

The landscape was spectacular and the architecture was ingenious- a lightweight glass box in the desert- we loved it! Even though it was 102 degrees outside we opened the sliding glass doors and were instantly cooled down by the breeze. Great design. Everything was perfect.

This is a beautiful building and home. Linda was a gracious host, keeping me informed about the special circumstances of the off-grid experience and guiding me through it.

What a special place. Absolutely magical, peaceful, breathtaking, and inspiring. We loved the experience it offered us.

This is the house you have to stay

Perfect space.

We absolutely loved Inga's place perched on a hillside above the small but lovely town of Akureyri. The best part was the view and the darkness at night. We caught an amazing display of Northern Lights on two nights and this was largely thanks to the wonderful location of the property. Not walkable to anything, but you get the darkness to appreciate the winter night sky. Inga was great in communication and the place is extremely stylish. These are actually 3 apartments together and I could easily imagine trying to rent all three to accommodate a big group.

A beautiful flat with an outstanding view of Akureyri and the surrounding area. The location was perfect for day excursions which included hiking (Lake Myvatn), thermal baths (Jarobodin Nature Baths), whale watching (Husavik), waterfalls and kayaking in the fjord. The flat was clean and well-maintained with all common necessities for cooking and clean up provided. Inga Mirra was a perfect host and responded quickly to all inquiries. We highly recommend this rental!

- Host was absent. Her mother lives in the other apartment of the house and was there when we arrived. Felt like we were disturbing her. Very unhelpful. -Shower is ridiculous. No curtain. Water sprays everywhere and entire bathroom gets soaked. Unpleasant. -No sofa/couch to sit on, just a wooden bench. Uncomfortable. - No control for heat. It's freezing in northern Iceland. - Beer bottles, underwear and other garbage in the lawn.

The place was wonderful and coffee as oranges were a lovely touch! The detailed email for arrival instructions was great.

This was the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. Hands down.

Inga Mirra is a great host and her place was really cool: incredible view, clean, nice interior, comfy bed and good location near akureyri. i would always recommend staying there!

Elena was out of town while we visited but made sure we knew who to meet to check in. The tree house is amazing and exactly what we expected based on the photos. The grounds exceeded our expectation with their beauty and tranquility. This is a very special getaway! We would love to return to Casa Barthel in the future!

our host was very welcoming upon arrival and I was given very clear direction of what to do when we got there. The treehouse was EXACTLY what is advertised and was super cozy with privacy when needed. On the property you can see Florence city centre which is about 20 minutes driving from the house. Great location!!

The treehouse was a lovely and peaceful. The place was as described and such stunning scenery. I also ended up buying some of Elena's olive oil as it tasted so good and is made on site. There is also the use of a BBQ which is perfect for the summer evenings. The shower is fantastic and huge. Would love to visit again. Elena's was very friendly and helpful, highly recommended.

Simply breathtaking views all around... A house and landscape which previously only existed in my dreams! Elena's property was extensive, it spanned as far as the eyes could see. The treehouse itself was romantic, full of old world charms... A haven for honeymooners. Elena was a warm and friendly host. She was there to greet us personally, and we had a brief greetings with her lovely family as well. We really enjoyed our short stay at the treehouse. What an experience!

Very nice place

What can we say, we had a fantastic time at the tree house, the pictures don't do it justice! Elena was a brilliant host and we can't wait to return!

We felt very welcomed arriving at the Treehouse! Elena was out of town, but her helper Teresa greeted us and showed us around. She didn't speak a ton of English and we are pretty bad with Italian sadly so we had a hard time understanding each other, but she was very nice and helped us with everything we needed! She even arranged a taxi to pick us up when we checked out. It was the perfect mini break from touring around Italy. I would recommend having a car if you are going to be staying more than 2 days. We did not, which was totally fine because we made sure to bring food to cook in the kitchen. We had to venture out one day to get more food, and walked down a steep hill with no sidewalk (Elena definitely warned us), but what can I say, we were starving :) We stumbled on a really cute farmers market just about a 20 minutes away so all in all it worked out great, but I wouldn't recommend walking down that hill. We enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it!

Great location , only concern wifi is not working inside the house!

Such a relaxing and delightful experience. Quite frankly I was expecting the place not to live up to the descriptions online. It never occurred to me that it would exceed them. A lovely experience, can't wait to come back.

Denise was wonderful and the place was magical. Clean, comfortable, and everything you needed. I highly recommend staying here.

From arrival to departure our host and hostess were wonderful. The place is truly magical more than the photos can depict. We enjoyed a moderate hike over Monument Mountain, a local theater in Great Barrington, some great local restaurants, and the story book grounds. The biodiversity of the flora was remarkable. The local pond was refreshing and unoccupied.

The Silo Studio was the perfect little getaway for these 2 busy Bostonians (and our dog!) Denise was extremely welcoming and gave great instructions. She welcomed us with a smile and a bottle of sparkling cider. The silo is as cute and comfy as advertised. We got groceries from the supermarket down the street so we really didn't need to go anywhere. We enjoyed long walks in the mornings and afternoons. And granola parfaits & coffee in between. The studio is quiet and cozy and just what we needed. My friends were jealous of this unique little space we found. Such a little hidden treasure.

Looking to walk into a storybook? Then you've found your place! The silo-studio was beautifully decorated and had a very comfortable mattress (I loved the heated bed). You can tell that so much time and thought was put into the restoration of this artists studio as all the elements blend in seamlessly. The views in the morning through the multiple story window are fantastic; it was the ultimate 'glamping' as it really feels like you are waking up in the forest, all from the comfort of your bed (and without mosquito bites)! The surrounding area is gorgeous, a very picturesque drive all the way to the house, beautiful gardens on the actual grounds, and there is also a small town (Lee) close by that had cute gift shops and restaurants. Denise, and the rest of her family that we met, were wonderful hosts! She was very quick to respond to emails as well as warmly welcoming us when we arrived. She suggested several restaurants in the area, which had great food, as well as hiking trails and a small local swimming pond that we had all to ourselves to read a book and relax by. She was also kind enough to show us around the rest of her grounds, and I can say that if this silo is booked, look into her other silo which is equally as beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about my experience at the silo. A very big thank you to Denise for making us feel so welcome at this fairy-tale getaway!

Denise did a great job making us feel welcome and taken care of. She left a bottle of wine for us and gave a tour of the property. The studio is beautiful unique place to stay in rural mass. We loved the space. While it was a cold weekend the stove kept us warm as well as the heated mattress on the bed. We would stay here again!

I had the most amazing experience at the Silo Studio at the Santarella property. My planned weekend for two turned into an unexpected weekend for one and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Denise and her husband Dennis are extremely warm and truly care about their guests and their stay. I forgot my hat and gloves and they kindly let me borrow a set and even gave me a tour of the property. This area of the Berkshires is lovely, but this property is out of a fairy-tale, especially the Gingerbread House, also the silos are equally impressive. It's a historic site that was restored by the couple. Charming. Just absolutely charming. (And I was there in November, with not a leaf on a tree!) There are tons of hiking options and lots of little villages around to visit and browse. The Norman Rockwell Museum is only 10 minutes away. There is plenty to do, but the silo studio is the perfect combination of sweet and adorable, I could have spent my whole stay there reading by the pellet stove or gazing out the 8' windows in the bedroom loft. If you are looking for a romantic getaway or a just a quiet place full of warmth and inspiration, you have got to check this place out. ps. They do weddings, you're welcome bride's to be(URL HIDDEN)

Denise was wonderful and extremely helpful, hospitable and quick to respond with very thoughtful advice. She greeted us with warmth and gave us great ideas for the meals and hiking trails we asked about. The silo was truly delightful and a great way to surprise my husband for our 10th year wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time and wish we could've stayed longer.

It's impossible to say anything bad about this place. A unique, quirky accommodation with every little detail thought through. We had the most wonderful weekend in the windmill and wish we had stayed longer. It has a very comfortable bed, a beautiful bathroom, incredible views and a fully equipped kitchen so come prepared to do nothing but relax, cook and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Thank you Clare for your warm welcome and for kindly dropping us off in Benenden on the last day. Wonderful host! Tip: We didn't have a car so during the day, used OS maps to go for nice hikes. We did a circuit route (starting from the path that's directly opposite the property and finishing along the path that goes around the back of the windmill) which took us via The Bull Inn pub in Rolvenden. Highly recommended!!

It's difficult to know what we loved best Clare is a wonderfull hostess, kind and attentive everything is thought out to make you welcome: little bunches of flowers everywhere, fresh asparagus and cherry tomatoes, two eggs, a loaf of fresh bread waiting on the kitchen table... The mill is amazing (aaah the bathroom, aaah the room, aaah the kitchen and lounge and oooh the terrace...) and surrounded by the beautiful garden We feeled at home after the first 5 minutes and didn't want to leave We wille definitely come back :-)

Beautiful accommodation - the windmill is exceptionally well restored. Terrace is a fantastic place for breakfast and to watch the sun go down. Plenty of country walks leaving from the property. Clare was very helpful and has the property immaculate.

This place is amazing! Clare has restored the windmill to an incredibly high standard and is a very welcoming host. Rural location, perfect for pub lunches and great walks. If you are lucky enough to get a sunny day then the sunset is breathtaking, if it isn't sunny no worries, the windmill is cosy and comfortable. We did not want to leave and will be back!

Wonderful windmill. Made to feel very welcome. Thank you

Dear Clare, What a lovely time we had, the experience staying at the Mill and every suggestion you gave us was just amazing, we thought we have stayed in special places but We think this is just a new level :). Thanks for your kindness and perfect attention to details - we hope to come back to visit you again. Warm regards, Paula&Pedro Ps. The Chapel Down winery was great as you said

The Old Smock Mill was such a unique experience. It was a perfect place to get away and have some quality rest and relaxation. The architecture and decor was incredible. The Mill was clean and very well equipped for cooking (which we loved!). Thanks, Clare for a lovely stay!

Amazing Experience. When we got to know Clare did the design herself, just one word "impressive".

Kristie's tropical tree house was beyond phenomenal and truly served as the highlight during our first visit to the Big Island. My partner fell ill coming in and I messaged Kristie to see if we could bump up the check in time, by a long shot - Kristie was so lovely and accommodating and made arrangements with the cleaning staff so we could check in early. The decor was charming and the place was immaculate. I cannot recommend this place enough!

This was great! Thank you so much to Kristie!

Kristie was amazing! Before the trip, I received an email fr her with so many great information not just on the treehouse itself, but about the overall community around the treehouse. The treehouse itself was such a dream!!! My husband and I stayed there for my birthday and we fell so hard in love with it. It is so magical. Can't quite describe the feeling...I came into it knowing how it looks like and what to expect bc i booked it, but my husband had no idea! He just knew I picked a treehouse of all places to ring in my birthday! He was absolutely speechless (that takes a lot of my husband to be speechless). The treehouse was so magnificent - so earthy and woodsy and yet so elegant and luxurious. The linen was clean and fresh - all amenities of a luxury hotel, including bath robes! The shower was incredible! There's no curtains anywhere in the house, but you're out in the middle of nowhere so there's no one to see you. The inside of the treehouse was kept very clean and surprisingly, the outside of the treehouse was well kept as well. I'm not sure how long the treehouse has been around, but it is very very well kept. We already talking about plans on coming back, with a completely selfish fear that too many others will find out about it and the treehouse won't be as nice as it is now! lol! Ridiculous, I know. but it is SUCH A GEM! My husband posted semi-professional photos of it on our (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) page and we have soooo may inquiries about it already. If you get a chance to stay here, DO SO IMMEDIATELY. There's nothing like falling asleep in the middle of the woods to the sound of the rain falling on the rooftop while you're dry and snuggled in nice clean warm bedding...then waking up to amazing rays of sunshine coming in from all corners of the house with the clean crisp air of the woods. It was definitely the high of our trip. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

We really enjoyed our stay at the dreamy tropical treehouse! Thanks Kristie for a great stay.

Absolutely incredible. Would recommend to anyone! My boyfriend and I had an incredible night there around the rain forest. Don't go by apple maps, use the hosts (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps instructions as it's in the middle of nowhere = paradise.

This was, without a doubt, the most beautiful, tranquil, and unique place I have ever stayed! I highly recommend the Tropical Tree House for a getaway with your significant other - we were blown away. From the storybook of how Kristie built the treehouse to the delicious snacks (best brownies I've ever had, hands down) to the pulley system for bringing your bags up to the amazing shower, every detail of this place is perfect. If you're looking for some delicious eats, the Thai place nearby is delicious! And you can pick up a bottle of wine at the general store (next to the Thai place) and enjoy it in the treehouse to the sounds of the frogs! My boyfriend and I both loved our stay at the tree house and wish we could have stayed longer (we could only stay one night). It is very close to Volcano National Park and the amenities couldn't be more rustic or more luxurious. I can't say enough. Highly recommend!

The treehouse was amazing! The pictures don't even do it justice. The amount of detail that Kristie put into it is pretty awe-inspiring, and the seclusion was great. We loved staying there, and the location was a great base for exploring the volcano and that entire side of the island.

Everything about this location was perfection for us. The host was exceptionally accommodating and communicative. And the space was a dream. This is a great spot for anyone wanting to stay in an inspiring and beautiful location, but also, it's really cool for anyone interested in sustainability and eco-friendly living. It's decorated beautifully and the land is gorgeous. We'll definitely be back!

Great Place to know! Absolute Nature and memorable views!!

The stay was perfect in every way. Anthony is very attentive to explain all the questions that may arise before the stay. In the property, the caretakers/'caseiros' are very receptive and friendly people. The house is beautiful, exactly - and even more beautiful, I would say - like the photos. Fully equipped with everything you could need. The parking is very convenient too. I strongly recommend to everyone who want to relax, surrounded by a beautiful architecture and cinematic view. :-)

The place is fantastic and worth it but a lot to do to improve communication. There was no Brazilian phone number available to help to find the place, which made us lose around two hours to find it. And when arrived the keeper of the land wasn't expecting us. No basics in the kitchen, so we had to buy like everything. We left some and I hope others will be allowed to enjoy it. And wifi not working. Hope it will get better better because the place is worth it.

Had a great time and we would definitely go there again!

This is the second time my wife and friends spend some time at the Beach House of dreams! Wonderfull place, nature and hosts!

Fantastic visit to Casa Praia.location is beautiful,neri and neia are very helpful and kind.We did have a problem with Portuguese which was totally our fault, but got by with our phrase book! Area is great, but w were told not to walk any where .We are used to walking and felt a bit cut off..but we hired a car, and found some great restaurants.

Great place! Cannot say anything maore than just a great experience in a wonderful place. Love the house. Love the private beach. Love the area and thr weather. Just perfect!

The couple who take care of the area are the most wonderful people. Kind, helpful and welcoming. The house has splendid views and is quite isolated. Expect to take the car for everything. Very helpful people in Andrade supermarket and good food in Palmas at Raizes. I wouldn't call it young child friendly.
