he was incredible kind and friendly person always warm and welcoming and ready to help with anything we needed. it really made a difference added a personal touch to our experience. the accommodation was spotless tastefully decorated and located in a peaceful country side setting in pulia. we especially love the amazing pool it was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. everything was exactly as we hope if not better. we fell completely at ease and would absolutely love to return. highly recommend.

We had a very nice stay in Davide's apartment. He was very friendly, always available and enhanced the holiday. We felt very comfortable. Everything was clean and tidy. The view from the terrace is fantastic. Thank you for the hospitality.

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.!

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!

We stayed at the apartment for 7 nights and we had a fantastic holiday. Ivona and Michael were amazing hosts. Micheal recommend plenty of day trips, restaurants and sightseeing spots. Michael gave us a tour of the apartment and pool area and helped with anything we needed. Ivona was very responsive and helped us arrange our return transfers. We loved all of the little special touches in the apartment, felt like home away home. This apartment and the hosts exceeded our expectations. Location is perfect! Thank you!

We loved the house! Renovated with all modern comforts but kept the rustic charm. It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay. The back garden with pool was a dream. Highly recommended to add the breakfast option. Ada the housekeeper prepared an extraordinary breakfast table for us daily! Would book again next time we are in Puglia.

We loved the house. The garden is beautiful and it is very cozy. Camilla was always available, very nice and provided us with great tips. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful time, dear Camilla

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!,

This home is a nod back to what Airbnb used to be when it was first launched - staying in someone's home, not renting from a cookie cutter business with dozens of listings. Virginia and her son were extremely responsive and welcoming offering tons of information, tours, and transport to/from the Airbnb. The space is homey and comfortable and you can tell it's where a family lived and loved their lives. It also has bug screens on the windows and doors which is an amazing help when you want fresh air but not visitors. :) The location is great, just a few minute's walk from the old town, so easy access but not in the middle of the busy area. Tons of great restaurants around and easy access to the train and buses around the area. The only thing that would have made it better is a better Aircon in the 2nd bedroom and more/better fans. The portable unit struggled with the heat and only one slow fan was not really enough but we made it work. I'm sure they'd have provided another if asked.

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.

Our stay in Svilena’s home was heavenly! Such a well thought out and welcoming place. Only a short walk to the hustle and bustle and crowds of the Spanish Steps. Wonderful to return to the beautiful, tranquil, carefully curated space that she has created. We feel extremely fortunate to have been able to stay in her home and hope to return one day.

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!

I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs around the world, but this was by far the most unforgettable. The views were nothing short of breathtaking, with a spectacular terrace that offered a panoramic sweep of the coastline. The historic setting had a quiet sense of grandeur, while the home was equipped with top-tier amenities and a beautiful pool that made it feel like a true retreat. The location was ideal, but what made the experience truly exceptional was our host, Francesco, who was warm, gracious, and effortlessly attentive. I genuinely wish I could turn back time and relive it all. Every moment felt rare and precious.

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.

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.

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 beautiful stay at the villa, Casa Grande. It was perfectly appointed for all of our needs, and the property was a magical place to enjoy a peaceful getaway. We soaked in the views, splashed in the pool, and explored some of the neighboring towns. Adriana, Antonio, and all of the wonderful staff made our stay extra special, offering hospitality and kindness at every opportunity. We loved our visit!

Andrew’s home is warm and homey. Beautifully designed. Angela, the house manager worked into the night to meet us when our flight was delayed and directed us directly to the house. Ceglie Messapica was barely mentioned in suggested Puglia cities and/or itineraries. . . It’s wonderful. . . and captures the heart, history and spirit that larger attractions (Ostuni, Arabellbelo, etc) recieve. Good restaurants, helpful local merchants and fellow tourists. . . . And there is a clean, wonderful pool
