Holiday rentals with a balcony in Southern Europe

We (myself, my husband and 2 children 13 + 11) stayed at Dulce’s apartment for 2 nights in Porto. The location was excellent and we were able to walk almost everywhere. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Dulce was very responsive and friendly and more than helpful with any of our requests. We loved Porto and plan to visit again in the future. I would definitely stay here again. Note that the apartment is on the 2nd floor of a steep windy stairs. It was fine for us but may not suit anyone with mobility issues. Thank you Dulce for being a great host!

A wonderful apartment so close to everything including the delicious restaurant downstairs! It is in the mix of everything so street noise of happy people can be heard until around midnight but there are shutters and AC and we slept just fine. Highly recommend!

Amazing apartment! The views from the balcony are incredible and the apartment is very modern, clean and comfortable inside. The location is perfect as you get the amazing views, but can walk down to the old town very quickly. Marco was very responsive to any questions we had.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 My stay at this Airbnb was absolutely amazing! The space was beautifully designed with incredible attention to detail—everything felt so thoughtfully curated. It was clear that Rut had considered every little thing we might need before we even thought of it. The location was perfect and felt very safe, which made the experience even better. I truly can’t recommend this place enough. Rut was a fantastic host—responsive, welcoming, and made the entire stay seamless. I’d definitely stay here again!

Staying there was wonderful. We were only a couple, but there were enough rooms for two couples easily. For us, everything was perfect—the view into the theatre (which actually had 3 performances while we were there), the closeness to the walkable city center, and the personal interaction with the gracious, attentive hosts, who live in the same building. There are flights of stairs to the place, and a few interior steps to one of the bedrooms—this was nothing for us, but would not be right for some people. The place is large, well decorated, with amazing lighting, and views. One of the most special places we have been in, and we have traveled a lot.

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was very clean and perfectly located in the beautiful and lively Garcia district. Despite the vibrant neighborhood, the apartment and the street were pleasantly quiet, which we really appreciated. Communication with Richard was flawless – he was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout. Shops and restaurants are close by, and most of Barcelona’s highlights are walkable within an hour. Highly recommended!

Hands down, the best hosts we have experienced. From the moment we booked, Susana and Alvero were kind and classy. The apartment was in a great location for us just outside Barcelona. Our family of five felt right at home and would certainly stay again if our travels bring us back to Mongat! Look no further, you found the right place!

Great spot right in the middle of the action in Florence. The street numbers are confusing - the city has two buildings with the same street number - but Francesco was very helpful and was in communication with us directly until he personally let us into the building. The apartment was beautiful. Note that you do need to walk through one bedroom to get to the other, and the bathroom is in one of the bedrooms. While you do have privacy with doors closed, you would have to walk by a bed to get to the bathroom in the night. The laundry was SO convenient. Great stay!

We truly enjoyed this little pearl. We should have brought friends to enjoy the great garden, bar and bbq together. Since we were here with a baby we didn't take the most out of the lovely accomodation but really everything we needed for our little one was there, just perfect. She loved the toy tower :).

What a wonderful experience! The description of the home was excelled by the reality. It was very clean and tastefully decorated — Anna has an eye for design and art. the three bedrooms easily accommodated us. The large patio with its charming table and vine screened roof was a charming place to enjoy our morning cappuccino. the home is situated in a agricultural community built in 1788, situated in extensive vineyards. The buildings have been thoroughly renovated into a series of private homes. The community contained renters like us, but also young communities and older retirees. We had a chance to get to know people in the neighborhood, who were uniformly friendly. the AirBnB is about 25 minutes away from Arezzo by car. The best place to park we found was in the short term parking at the train station. From there it was just a short walk to the Old Town. Anna was a wonderful and charming host. We recommend this property highly!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is a short walk to the Mercato Centrale of Florence and the Duomo as well. Lots of great restaurants close by. We love to walk So this was great for us. Rossella met us on arrival and was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again when back in Florence. Grazie! Wayne and Vivian

Tao’s home is a charming entire house with a private entrance, nestled in a vibrant neighborhood. If you're a fan of Orhan Pamuk's novels, you'll recognize the area, and you'll be pleased to know that the Museum of Innocence actually exists and is located nearby. The house itself is full of character and unique details. The kitchen is well-equipped and had everything we needed traveling with a young child. There are three floors to navigate: the kitchen, dining area, and a shower are located on the ground floor, while the entrance, two bedrooms and a toilet are on the first floor. The second floor features the third bedroom with its own small kitchenette and bathroom. Additionally, the entrance has a few steps as well. Tao is a very sweet, friendly and thoughtful host, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout our visit. Communication was seamless, and he provided us with excellent recommendations for local restaurants that we thoroughly enjoyed.

We absolutely loved our stay, sadly didn’t get to meet Manuel as he wasn’t available for the check in, but he was extremely responsive throughout the stay. The villa is gorgeous and absolutely huge, bbq is a great touch and we too full advantage of the kitchen utilities. Only issue was lack of mirrors in the bedrooms and that wifi doesn’t quite reach all places in the house. We would stay again.

It was the best place we have ever been! Such a beautiful house, peaceful, magnificent interior, helpful host! We definitely want to come back 🩵

Kaia’s place is absolutely perfect for a stay in Sitges. It’s in the heart of the city so you can walk everywhere very quickly. And the rooftop pool was a huge highlight! Perfect for a hot day. Highly recommend!

Pleasant, sunny and ventilated environment. The house is clean and organized. Location in the city center, overlooking the mountains.

It really was just as beautiful and romantic as the pictures. The view from the balcony was phenomenal, apartment smelled and felt so clean the whole stay. The apartment had pretty much everything you could need in it. The owners were so proactive keeping in touch with different recommendations and letting us know beforehand what’s happening in the city as different protests took place + a big conference started mid stay. We felt taken care of. It was an amazing place to stay at, would definitely visit again!

Martina was so kind and helpful, she even gave us a brief tour of the apartment upon check in. She ensured we knew where everything was located and she has a binder of any information needed. We enjoyed the seating area in front for breakfast and coffee. We loved how close the apartment is from the train station so we could walk to and from to save us time and some money. The location is very walkable to many restaurants, shops and sights. We loved that there is a grocery store near by and also a "sight seeing bus" stop around the corner. We found the bedding comfortable and the apartment felt safe. Everything is very nice and ready for guests who may decide to have a meal in vs going out too.

Alberto and Son were great. Place is as described and made our stay very special. Thank you.

Here’s review: We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Rome. The apartment was located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, which was a lovely escape from the busy city center. It was walking distance to all of the major tourist sights like trevi fountain and pantheon. It was about a 20/30 min taxi to Vatican. The space had everything we needed. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, always quick to respond and ready with great recommendations. Overall, it was a great experience and we’d definitely recommend.

Enrica (AKA Kikka) is a delightful woman who cares about her guests and does everything to make them feel at home. She responded very quickly to any of our questions and needs. She had great suggestions for restaurants, activities and site seeing outings, all listed in an informative book on the kitchen table. The view from the room is magical, almost beyond description, as you look out on to Lake Como both day and especially night! My partner & I whole heartedly recommend you consider Enrica’s attic for you lodgings at Lake Como! Cameron June 2025

Carlotta's property is simply gorgeous... super clean, lots of light, decorated to a high standard, close to San Pietro station... for this with lots of luggage or less able to walk, worth being aware that the walk from San Pietro to the apartment is fairy steep in places. Other than that, check-in was super easy, Carlotta offered us loads of recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the local area and across Rome. The apartment itself was exactly as it appears in photos... an absolutely gorgeous space, earning an easy 5-stars all round from us. I'd definitely stay here again if we came back to Rome.

We had a great time. The apartment is beautiful, as described. Our hosts were particularly helpful and welcoming. Everything was perfect!

Thanks to Angela and Alessandro we saw and tasted the best of Naples. So helpfull and nice hosts. Theyr place was beautiful, clean and well located, easy to reach port and airport. Highly recommend 😉
