Charming Studio in the heart of Menton
Elena’s apartment is a true luxury suite! The finishes are beautiful and the balcony with the garden is a nice bonus. Everything was safe and very clean!

Eldorado: Romantic Seafront Getaway
What a wonderful way to spend a few days in Cinque Terre! Andrea’s place in Manarola was stunning with absolutely breathtaking views. The hills and steps are not for the weak of heart but 100% worth the visit.

Unique: terrace apartment on the beach
Very pleasant stay, a magnificent view from the terrace, top bedding and welcoming, warm and helpful hosts. We are delighted.

The panoramic, extraordinary view *
Lovely, comfortable apartment in a great location, with absolutely stunning views.

Luxury seaside attic with private sea access
Maria Sofia’s 2-bedroom penthouse must have the best view in all of Bogliasco. We wanted to spend all our time looking out at that view day and night! It’s spectacular. The unit is comfortably furnished, with everything you need. If you’re used to boxes of facial tissue or kitchen paper towels, & bottled water, there’s a Basko supermarket nearby. Furnishings are full of character—with vintage cameras, ships in bottles, even a vintage telescope! Plants, baskets, & cushions make the place homey. Lots of lovely restaurants & cafes within 10-15 minutes of walking, & so is the charming town center, with a piazza, church, stone bridge, wall art, green grocers, bakeries, & a gelateria with incredible gelato. My brother & I highly recommend Just Peruzzi, which has the most amazing & delicious Trofie pesto. Liguria is credited with inventing pesto, & at Peruzzi, you can really believe it! This was a wonderful vacation. Book early! This place is booked solid for the next 5 months!

Best view of Palavas. 4 bay windows with sea view
Last minute organization, I thank Thierry for his responsiveness 🙏🏼 The stay was extremely pleasant, the setting is beautiful. Perfect for getting together. Thank you so much

Apt. Champex-Lac 2 pers, lake view, central
Nice apartment (clean and modern inside) with a lake view. I can imagine the fireplace must be nice if going in the winter / after skiing. And the terrace would be very nice in the summer as it’s large and has a nice view. As I happened to be there during off season (early May) and it was raining, I was especially happy to be able to use the sauna just 1 floor below the apt. If you use it, make sure to bring 3-4 one-franc coins (can get some at the store a few houses down on the Main Street), and give it about 40 min on switch option B. Was great for some down time in the mountains!

The Spot
Nadine’s place is well worth the money. The view is just fantastic. The apartment is very clean and very convenient. The yard is very private and very cosy. Nadine and her husband are very friendly. They are present in the house above the apartment but are very discreet. They provide tons of documentation with recommendations for places to visit. The train passes just below the yard but the noise is well absorbed by the wall and vegetation. We highly recommend this place.

NUMERO 6 - A house with a view - Lake Como, Italy.
Wow. One of the best air bnbs that we have ever stayed in. The place is even better than the photos. The outside space is private with an amazing view of the lake. Laglio was a perfect place for us, quiet and authentic. We took the bus and ferries to get around as we were without a car. As long as you are organised and ready for a busy bus it’s completely doable without a car. Nico’s food recommendations were all excellent. Our favourite place was the family butchers / cafe close to the apartment. We went there nearly every day for drinks, steak, meats and cheese. We also cooked some basic meals at the apartment which we recommend as it’s a lovely space. Nico and Wendy were amazing hosts, so helpful, responsive and accommodating. Thoroughly recommend this place and we are already looking at their other properties for another holiday! Book now ☺️

Blueview Villa
We (3 generations: 6 adults and 1 baby) stayed at Anna‘s for a family vacation. The location, view, comfort and accommodations were excellent. The pool and outdoor terrace were wonderful. Anna was very friendly, quick to respond and communicate, helpful with recommendations. We had a comfortable, memorable stay at the Blueview Villa.

Romantic & Private Lake Como village house
Perfect stay at Louise appartement. Everything match expectations, nothing to complain and only enjoy :) thanks a lot Louise, very much appreciated.

Sea View Suite in Villa_Exclusive Experience
Casa Rossa is truly a slice of heaven. Stunning, perfect location. Walking through the garden on the first night, we got “lost” as it got dark. And then magically these beautiful lights started to light a path up to our guest house. It brought moments of surprise and awe everyday. And everyone can use a little more of that in their lives. Tip: don’t drive your car and walk to the port/restaurants from the garden’s private gate. Tip: don’t use the AC in bedroom and sleep with windows open to enjoy the sound of the waves and ocean breeze. Tip: to the right of the driveway, there’s an amazing “hidden” bench down a long pathway - you have to duck under a tree and then when you sit - you will find one of the most beautiful views in the world. I think views like that created poetry, philosophy, and art. We had a truly amazing time. Daniela was so lovely as a hostess - thank you for our gift. And thank you to Silvio, you were wonderful at quick communication. Gratzie!

Casa Tilde 2: Lake Como Magnificent View - Jacuzzi
Andreas place is great. Extremely clean and tidy. Had everything we needed for our stay in lake como. The view is stunning. It’s also in a good location. Great host, very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend. Only thing to note is dervio is a 15/20min walk for the nearest trains and busses which we didn’t mind as enjoy walking.

Maison Almanarre - Waterfront Cabin
Top Beautiful view of Almanar Bay Very well-equipped and decorated. Thanks

Villa Combade
The house is really perfect for a break from everyday life with friends, ideally located and very well furnished. It is clear that the construction of the house was done with the well-being of future holidaymakers in mind. I have absolutely nothing to complain about, even without having seen the otters! We were lucky to meet Gertjan who is really nice and available, and we had Helena by message who is just as nice and responsive. We will come back without hesitation!

House in Begur with breathtaking sea views
We enjoyed the absolutely stunning views from the balcony, the easy-to-use kitchen, and having everything we needed – from a deck of playing cards to a broom for sweeping up. It's a super relaxing place to spend time with family and friends. Something to be aware of: you can hear the people next door through the walls... the ones staying there when we were there were quite noisy. I'd bring earplugs next time.

PORT GRIMAUD: LOVELY APARTMENT ON THE CANALS
Alex responds to the messages and requests very well. He made the process very easy. The place is exactly like the pictures, the view is even better in person! The only thing to note is the bathroom has a sliding door which doesn't close fully, might be best to be aware when staying with someone else :)

Incredible sea view! Facing the beaches of Sausset
No complaints It was perfect, everything matches the description and photos Pretty Mediterranean view

Rooftop terrace, 360° view of Marseille
We had an amazing stay at Gwendolin’s place. The rooftop is incredible, and the unit was spacious and clean. Would highly recommend.

The Painter's House
We felt very comfortable from the beginning. The view is fantastic. Not so close to the coastal road, but also not too high. Didn't need a car all week. 2 euros for the bus to Genoa, or Saint Margaret is also casual. I guess this won't be the last time with Carlo and Lucia. Very nice, thank you

Apartment in La Grande-Motte
One of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed in, impeccable cleanliness, incredible smell in the apartment. The terrace is huge with jacuzzi, BBQ, garden furniture… We were able to enjoy the pool without moderation. Morgane is a quality host, she thought of everything in the small details. She is also always available and very responsive when needed. The residence is rather well located with several shops as well as the beach nearby. Can't wait to come back!!

On the edge of the O
Amazing location, right on the waterfront only a few metres into the sea. Very relaxing yet close to everything the area has to offer.

Amazing sea view Luxury Apartment Llafranc WIFI
Amazing place, great view and the host were really helpful! 100% recommended

U Mo Paradisu
the view is really like the ad I loved every morning the region and the creeks I really recommend 👌 the listing is as described a small downside, you have to remember to take mosquito repellent, too bad it doesn't have mosquito nets or air conditioning, it would really be a plus... I have very fond memories of La Ciotat
