Family-friendly holiday rentals in Balkans

Had the most incredible stay here! All the reviews mention the amazing view and host hospitality (fresh fruit and lemonade from the family garden were amazing), which were above and beyond expectations, but to note a couple other things: perfect location, as it’s walkable to the port/downtown but in a quiet tranquil area, and there is laundry, which was extremely helpful as this was our second stop of three, so we are headed to the next island with clean clothes :) thank you, Nektarios, Naxos was a dream!

We had a wonderful time. The place was exactly as described and Theodoris was very responsive to our questions. He also arranged to have someone take our luggage to and from the place, which in Santorini that is a huge bonus!! I can’t forget the wine from his family’s vineyard he provided! The location is great as well!!

We had an incredible stay at Slavin's Airbnb — undoubtedly the best location we've experienced in Europe! The place is stunning, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. We spent five wonderful nights here with our two young children, and it was a truly memorable experience. Slavin was a fantastic host, very welcoming and attentive to our needs, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is ideal for families seeking tranquility and a chance to unwind, yet it's conveniently located just a short 10-15 minute drive to the nearest supermarket. We highly recommend Slavin's Airbnb to families or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting.

A+ booking. Dimitri was the best host we have ever had. He arranged all our transportation around Santorini including pick up and drop off at the airport and the ferry port. He had a ton of recommendations for things to do and places to eat. He helped book our catamaran tour around the island of Santorini which is a recommendation he had. The home itself is exactly how it looks in the pictures online. They almost seem too good to be true but they are 100% accurate. The balcony has an unobstructed view of the oia sunset which my wife and I watched every night we stayed there. The property is right at the top of the stairs that lead down to Ammoudi bay. So there is no hike up and down stairs when trying to walk back to the home. The location is perfect. It’s near so many restaurants and shops. The home is very private. A lot of these homes can have a nice view but people can also see you when on your balcony. We watched the sunset from our hot tub on our balcony. Great price. 10/10

We stayed here to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary, our first holiday without the children! We could not have picked a better place ☺️ The apartment was spotless with the most incredible view across the sea from the leafy veranda and hot tub, so romantic ❤️ And loads of little touches in both the kitchen and bathroom, plus a comfy bed and effective air con 😅 Gina was so responsive and helpful with all my questions before we even arrived and gave loads of recommendations & met us there. The location is great, about a 40 minute walk or an easy direct bus trip to the old town from right by the apartment, we walked it most days cause we’re quite active. We were so happy we stayed outside the old town cause it was very busy with tourists and expensive, and by the port where we were was much quieter and a beautiful view. I was so happy we picked this place as it really was what made our stay in Dubrovnik perfect, I would recommend to everyone. Thanks guys!x

It was a great place to stay! Full kitchen, 2 beds with their own bathrooms and a half bath for guests. Plenty of space inside and out. Plus he has a sound system with both indoor and outdoor speakers. This is one villa he uses as an AirBnB out of three on that street, each one has its own electric gate along with a main gate to gain access to all three. The area is private and relatively quiet and clean. This was my second time back to Mykonos and my third time in Greece. I would 100% stay here again or in one of the other villas he owns.

Our stay at Otium Villas was absolutely amazing! The villa has the most beautiful view of the caldera and was a close walk to the main strip in Oia. Nick, the property manager was super responsive and accommodating - we arrived early in the morning and was able to check in right away and as well as store our luggage after checkout. The room was clean and housekeeping came by everyday with fresh towels. Alfred looked after our villa and met us at check in and check out to carry all our luggage up and down the stairs - he was very friendly and nice to talk to. They were also able to arrange a tranfer for us to and from the ferry port. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first time in Santorini!

Domenico is a fantastic host, he proactively shared all the information we needed and helpful information restaurants divided by type of food and price range, we had a total of 5 reservations for our stay in Italy and only Domenico had such a proactive and kind approach. The apartment is one of the best I've been to in Italy, clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The attention to the smallest details is admirable. Tip: if you like flowers, this place feels like a magical garden. We will definitely come back for longer stay. Grazie mille, Domenico!

There are no words to describe the kindness and helpfulness of Ms Maria Teresa; a wonderful creature who loves animals as most people should. The structure is absolutely perfect for what my needs were. Very clean, very comfortable mattresses, complete with everything you needed (from detergent to extra virgin olive oil made by them), including a beach umbrella, beach towels and even new slippers for the whole family. What can I say, people should take an example from this girl on how to run a B&B. I hope to return as soon as possible. 💛

We had 1 week at this beautiful villa and it exceeded all expectations, the villa was even more beautiful than the photos. The beds are super comfortable and it had all amenities that you needed. When we checked in we were left a huge bowl of fruit, wine coffee and tablets for the dish washer and washing machine. We ate breakfast on the terrace watching the view every morning and could resist a sundowner aperitif every evening in the sun soaking up the view. The outside road was very quiet and the villa is walkable to all beaches and restaurants we particularly enjoyed the dolphin Nicos and Akron beach. It was spotlessly clean and Miriam was very responsive to all queries. We were gutted to leave and would rebook in an instant

Great communicative host, beautiful house - the pictures don’t do it justice!

Very nice stay! Gregor was very friendly and we enjoyed the animals and the goats milk . PS: Be sure to doulblecheck the adress when going there :)

One of the most beautiful Airbnb’s we have ever stayed in. Trulli amazing… the accommodation was so well equipped, clean & modern, the pool area beautiful and the breakfast was amazing. Thank you so much to Andrea, Julia & the family

Beautiful peaceful entire small house to yourself, located up in the hills behind Vietri Sul Mare. Great breakfast spread included.

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

So many good things to say about Christoforos’s place. The house was well equipped and really comfortable, both inside and outside. It was peaceful and relaxing but the real bonus was the view from the terrace and pool while lying on sun loungers - absolutely stunning. Our dogs loved the place and the local area as well. There are some great walks directly from the house or further afield. Nothing very flat - it’s a mountainous area so walks were hilly with fantastic views. Christoforos was a really attentive and communicative host and was always on hand to respond to questions.

It's awesome place, nice design, brilliant panoramic view. Good kitchen, nice TV, good barbecue place and nice chill zone with panoramic view. Also as a pros excellent bad with fantastic pillows, my sleep was perfect. From cons i would recommend to be prepared to be isolated, it's not walkable to Budva center, only by car. If you are more than 4 then you need 2 cars to go there and back and it already doesn't worth it. It's just matter of preferences, on the other side you won't have such panoramic overview. In general we had a nice stay and no problems, just sometimes wanted to be more closer to the center.

We had an amazing time. The place was very clean, views were stunning. Host was attentive and responsive. Care was given to provide many items to ensure we had all the items we needed on our arrival. Extremely thoughtful! We had two young children and were please to have everything we needed for them to lunch on arrival. So many special touches!! We had a hard time leaving, we hope to be back soon! Special thanks to Antonio, we won’t say goodbye but rather arrivederci !

We greatly enjoyed the villa; it offered privacy and a peaceful vacation while providing easy access to the nearby town for great restaurants.

Andrei is a brilliant host who was incredibly generous. He made us feel very welcome and his organic eggs from the farm were a real treat. Despite the rain, the beautiful views and natural hot tub - heated by the plentiful supply of cut wood - were a delight. His dog Rolly was a great addition to the welcome team as well! Overall, it is a beautiful place to stay. We couldn’t recommend staying here more!

I can’t say enough about how great of a host Petros is, and how great of a place this was to stay. The place is as beautiful as it looks in the listing photos. Incredible view, incredible outdoor space, and warm and welcoming indoor space. The property is a little bit further outside of the town than we would have wanted to walk - I’d recommend renting a car or scooter if you stay here. With a vehicle you can be in the center of town in about 5 minutes. Petros is a perfect host - always available if you need him, friendly and helpful, and ready to provide great recommendations for food and activities all over the island. I highly recommend staying at this place.

We were before the start of the summer season. There were not many other tourists. The weather was ideal. For our family of five, the villa and its three bedrooms were just the right size. It was a nice surprise that the villa also had a bricked outdoor grill and pizza oven. The tiny little road was a surprise when we arrived in the dark and almost stopped faith. It would have been nice to have a tavern or/shop within walking distance. We only had one driver. The week went by quickly and was fun. We recommend it to other family groups.

We had a wonderful stay here! Everything was absolutely perfect! The villa is well equipped with everything you need for a week-long stay (or longer), and situated very close to shops in Lavrio for groceries. Waking up everyday to the beautiful sunrise over the sea with mountains in view was amazing. We were able to very comfortably fit our whole family here without any issues and there was still more space we could have used for additional people if needed. We definitely plan to come back here for more family vacations.

Wow! What a privilege it was to stay at one of the most historic estates in Ragusa. Antonio and Giovanni are honoring their family's legacy by preserving their family's beautiful villa, built in 1863. They have meticulously restored the quarters where guests stay. You feel like you are a guest of their ancestors in the royal apartment. The grounds are stunning but it is about the whole experience. This is an AirBnb for those who appreciate history. Antonio gave us a tour of the incredible baroque town of Ragusa, one of the prettiest in all of Sicily. What a host he is! My only regret is not staying longer. I will be back!
