Holiday rentals with a pool 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.

Our stay has been amazing! The host is very welcoming and helpful. The property is clean, very well decorated and furnished. The location in the city center is very convenient. You can leave the car in the garage and enjoy walking through the city. We loved it a lot.!

Everything was great! Location was perfect and the space was lovely. Hard to beat the private pool!

Our stay with Stefania was amazing. The accommodation was luxurious and comfortable. Situated a mile from the old town of Lecce, easily walkable. Stefania was so friendly and helpful, she sorted out a parking fine that we had. Just to note, yellow lines on the road mean no parking unless you are a resident. Visitors use the blue parking spaces. I would recommend Stefania’s accommodation to everyone and would certainly stay again.

We spent an incredible stay in your house, the design and location are outstanding. And it’s a beautiful combination of architecture, design and nature!

This place was perfection! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome and a tour of this incredible place. The pool and outdoor spaces plus the balcony with its incredible views were a huge hit! The family and their dog are so lovely and we couldn't say a single bad word about our stay here. Great location, big and spacious rooms, plenty of outdoor space and the pool was so good! If you are staying in or around Praiano then I wouldn't look anywhere else. It is even more stunning in real life. We can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Torretta Le Feritoie in Fasano, Puglia. The house is just as beautiful as the photos — if not better! Everything was spotless, well-maintained, and perfectly equipped, including great air conditioning. We loved the second bedroom in the upper tower, which offered both independence and easy access to the main house. Breakfast under the pergola, surrounded by olive trees and cacti, was a daily highlight. The pristine swimming pool was a rare and welcome treat. The peaceful location near Fasano gave us tranquility while being close to shops and pharmacies. Luca was incredibly kind and attentive, and we especially appreciated the homemade mulberry jam he gifted us. We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning!

Located about 30 mins by bus outside Dubrovnik it us definitely worth the extra effort. The view from the patio is stunning and there is everything you need provided. If you are looking to escape the manic main areas and don't want an all-inclusive experience this is it. the villa is on a main route direct to the old town and if you buy the dubrovnik pass the bus is free. There is a faily steep walk and a fair few steps to reach the villa so you need to be fit but you can use bolt or taxi to the property. great value for money

Everything from the booking to check in and recommendations was great!!! But the best part was the view. 5 stars…we loved our stay and already want to return

We loved our stay here - right near everything, walkable to the port and the beach and local shops. It was exactly as pictured and such a gem in the center of the area. The hot tub and terrace were extra special!

Great staying a lovely location. Apartment was easy to find and well equipped. Host very responsive and helpful

A luxurious apartment within 2 mins walk of the centre of Taormina. So peaceful, quiet and safe. The apartment has everything you need for your stay and a sensational view of the ocean on an extra large balcony. Pool was great too. Air conditioning was very good as it was hot while we were there. I would stay here again and highly recommend to anyone coming to Taormina - you’re right in the mix of restaurants, shops and people but away from any noise. Brilliant apartment!,

Had a great week! Walking around the surrounding area. There is a direct bus connection to Naples and Caserta. Enjoy the pool and the food! Thanks!

We stayed at Lampeduso for 3 nights and it definitely wasn’t long enough. It’s such a great Airbnb in a perfect location. Palermo is such an interesting city, with its mix of cultures and all its gritty charm. The palace was perfect. It rained for two of the days we were there, but because the villa was so fantastic, the weather didn’t affect us at all. The place is huge, with great amenities that made a big difference—washer and dryer for our soaked clothes, umbrellas ready to go, and plenty of space to enjoy a good card game. When the sun did come out, we spent early evenings on the patio next to the pool. Honestly, the villa alone makes us want to return to Palermo.

We had a fantastic stay! The views over Kotor Bay were absolutely stunning, especially at sunset – truly unforgettable. The pool was perfect for a refreshing dip after a day exploring, and there were delicious restaurants nearby. The apartment had everything we needed and more – so comfortable and well-equipped. Irena was an incredible host, going out of her way to send us loads of helpful information and recommendations. We felt so well looked after throughout our stay. Would love to come back one day, thank you

Our expectations were exceeded. Paulo was so helpful and friendly. The pet dog Papoy even made our stay fun. Will definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone. Thanks for a memorable experience

what an amazing find River House was for us, fantastic accommodation and views. Katarina was a brilliant host, always willing to communicate and sorted an issue we had very speedingly and going the extra mile. River House is very well equipped, clean and well maintained. If Katarina was not available her Mum would be there bringing us homemade cakes and preserves every morning, such a treat, we felt very spoilt. I would highly recommend, if you want a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings you could do no better

We had a wonderful stay in Collesano, just a short drive from Cefalù. The outdoor space was absolutely stunning—surrounded by olive trees and beautiful flowers, it was the perfect place to relax. The pool and outdoor area were especially lovely and well-maintained. We were warmly welcomed by Nino, the gardener, who was incredibly kind and made us feel at home right away. All in all, a great stay—highly recommended!

Communication was really easy with Nathalie, which made the check in really straightforward and hassle free. The property is exactly as pictured - bright and spacious. Would recommend.

Francesco’s beautiful apartment is genuinely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The view is better even than the pictures, and the apartment has everything you need for a relaxing time. Thank you!

This home is just beautiful! The views from inside the villa & outdoor balconies, pool area and terrace are stunning! We enjoyed the gardens and relaxing by the pool. The villa and outdoor areas are immaculate. Luigi was an incredible host from the moment we arrived. We are very grateful for all he did for us in terms of making recommendations & reservations. He was always available at a moment's notice to ensure we enjoyed the best that Sorrento has to offer. He is an outstanding host in every respect. We hope to visit again!!

Very welcoming family, good communication. Touring Sicily, this is the nicest accommodation we have stayed in. Our terrace was so lovely with magnificent views, we ate in every night. The pool was fantastic, we used every day, early morning and evening, so clean. thanks you.

Elodies villa was exactly as described and perfect for a family holiday. The seperate buildings enabled everyone some privacy and outdoor living area by the pool both functional and flexible. The hosts were very responsive and responded almost instantly to any question. We took the recommendation to bring in Massimo Mancarella as our personal chef for our final farewell dinner and he is an amazing chef, preparing our best meal of our trip. Such a nice way to end our Puglia holiday dining outdoors together being treated with an amazing meal and service.

We had a perfect vacation thanks to the wonderful and well-kept house. The shady dining area outside and the beautiful garden, including lemon trees, provided additional ambience. Ideally, the quiet air conditioners in the bedrooms. The intermediate cleaning on Wednesdays is also very nice. Fabio is a great host - he was always available and provided us with valuable information. The nearby beach and the very clean clear sea water in combination with the pool (if it got too hot) are fantastic. Restaurants can easily be reached within 10 minutes by car. The area (Otrando, Lecce, Gallipoli) is enchanting.
