Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Southern Europe

We found a very clean and large house, with a nice welcome surprise, the house was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, the terrace overlooking the ocean in a picturesque, quiet village, very good contact with the owner, she immediately responded to current problems and tried to help as much as possible, we fully recommend this place

Such a lovely stay. Need a car, but it’s not too far from lots of lovely places and a great base to explore the peninsula. As a family of five we had a wonderful time, lots of little cats, including one with cross eyes with a strange meow that was particularly friendly. Please say hello to him if you stay here….we grew quite attached. Host was very responsive and helpful, even when our phone died and we lost the entry-code. Fabulous host. 😊

Bojan was incredibly helpful, friendly and proactive in making my stay the best! full of peace, happiness and adventure! best place to have kayak, ride bicycle and have private tranquil moments on the lake. would definitely recommend and I am looking forward to staying again! thank you Bojan!

Lovely private place to spend time relaxing with family (4 adults & 4 children) with lots to do for the kids, not a single mention of them being bored throughout the whole 10 nights stay, which is highly unusual 😂 The outdoor BBQ area was the star of the show on most evenings! Just a few minutes drive to and from shops such as Carrefour and Aldi, so everything you could possibly need for your stay is easily accessible. The host is extremely friendly, helpful and responsive for any required needs. Would highly recommend this host and property to anybody wanting to stay in Elche for a relaxing time away from normality.

Wonderful experience. Even before starting the stay, Claudio proved attentive and prompt in his responses. Valerio's welcome was impeccable, always available, full of directions and suggestions, his smile and kindness made us feel at home. As soon as you enter the property you feel on vacation: the atmosphere is one of total relaxation and every detail is taken care of with great attention. There is a garden with lemon trees and succulents, a swimming pool with sun loungers and an umbrella, a barbecue, a veranda, a back patio overlooking the almond groves and a huge furnished rooftop terrace with a 360° view of the countryside and down to the sea. The house is cozy, clean and has everything. The kitchen is stocked with lots of pots and dishes. The presence of water, coffee, sugar, salt, condiments, paper towels and toilet paper was much appreciated. You sleep very well thanks to the very comfortable beds, air conditioning and the silence that surrounds the property. We will definitely be coming back!

First of all, we enjoyed it very much as a family. It is in a quiet area away from noise. The hosts are very friendly. You can reach the host at any time and get help. The house was as seen in the photos. The furniture of the house was new and useful. There were air conditioners that worked well in each room. The internet speed was good. We don't need to look for another place for our next holiday, we will definitely come here again.

We felt like we were visiting friends. Fato and her husband were super nice, very hospitable and warm. We felt very welcome and would come back any time! :)

“Machil welcomed us with drinks and food, explained everything to us and told us a little about the special features of the place. From the start, he was very attentive and kind. Every day we used the hot tub, and he was always on time. The place is beautiful and very close to Chania. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much, Fabrika Baladakis!”

Our host Monica was always available to answer any questions we had and quickly enough.

Great stay! Apartment was clean and welcoming as pictured. Greeted by very friendly parents. Was a brilliant needed rest I would recommend :)

I recently stayed at a charming apartment in Tirana with my girlfriend for a weekend, and it was fantastic. The apartment was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. Located in the best neighborhood of Tirana, we enjoyed easy access to a variety of wonderful bars, restaurants, and shops, adding to the overall appeal of our stay. The host was exceptional, always available and a pleasure to communicate with. His attentiveness made our experience even more enjoyable. In summary, our weekend retreat in this apartment was perfect. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay in Tirana.

Great view! The house is right by the sea. I recommend renting a car, so you can travel around.

The unit is beautifully decorated and great for families with older kids or groups of friends, though I wouldn’t recommend it for families with toddlers. There are plenty of TVs and a well-equipped kitchen, plus an outdoor kitchen with a restaurant-grade sanitizer. While counter space is limited, each kitchen has a dining table. There are 3 bathrooms, which is very convenient, but note that in Croatia, the hot water tanks have switches outside each bathroom—these need to remain on for hot water. There isn’t a traditional living room, but there are 3 dining spaces. Personally I would give up one table for a sofa, but the host is clear he wants it as is. The host met us within our requested checkin window. Note you cannot checkin autonomously but we were able to checkout at our convenience. the host is happy to help you coordinate an activity such as a boat but make sure you ask in advance.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at MEA Casa! The house is stunning, and the surrounding views are simply breathtaking. Martin and Elena were incredibly welcoming and offered fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. We wished we could have stayed longer, but we will definitely be back!

Great place, clean and as portrayed in the photos. Good location, as well. Would recommend.

I highly recommend staying with Barbara in Korcula. The place is beautiful and clean. The house is very large and well-equipped. Barbara prepared everything for us in the best possible way - I have never met such an open host. Wine, home-made olive oil and other local delicacies were waiting for us. In front of the house there is a beautiful garden with flowers, olive trees and fresh herbs that we could use. There was also a barbecue available, and we ate meals in the garden in a bower covered with grapes. There were also two swimming pools that Barbara cleaned every morning. Opposite there is a great winery, a beautiful church and a nice village to walk around. This is a place to which we would love to return - it was like in a fairy tale. Whenever we needed help and information, the host immediately helped us and recommended the best places. Thank you Barbara! :)

We had a very nice stay. Perfect place to escape the daily city chaos

In short, and not to repeat previous reviews (which are all spot-on), Alex's place is simply magical. Located in beautiful and serene nature, the house and the converted barn are simply amazing. Tastefully decorated with lots of Romanian traditional artifacts, they boast with artful arrangements. We're a family of four and had an amazing time. We found the amenities well thought-after, every detail was carefully designed, we appreciated the warm and cosy atmosphere, the old clay oven, the available wood for bbq and for warming up around the evening fire, the sitting area in the converted barn, even the traditional plates and mugs. Needless to say, and to compliment the above, Alex is a great, responsive host. Very highly recommended!

It's a cabin, but everything is there for the comfort of the host. Comfortable, cozy and charming, it's been a few days to go back to your roots. I highly recommend for nature lovers. Congratulations to Lucile and Olivier

Fridge full of stuff was such a nice surprise! And a bottle of a sparkling wine, sweets on pillows... Such a nice and thoughtful gesture! The host was very responsive and helpful with instructions. If you are nearby you should definitely stay here, it's very cozy.

We felt very comfortable, the view ist overwhelming!

We had a lovely stay at this quaint and charming place. Milenko is a very welcoming host and had great recommendations.

You have a beautiful view of the lake in the morning and evening here. Many fruit trees on the property and also some animals you will see here. ( cats , sheep and chickens) You are completely private in this great cabin and should do the shopping already on arrival, as the nearest "supermarket" is a little further away. From the host we were provided some water and fresh eggs for free. We were very satisfied.

The location is truly beautiful — peaceful nature, amazing lake view, and the sound of birds in the morning made the stay very relaxing. One thing to note: the first and second floors are connected by a ladder, not stairs, and you need to go outside the cabin to access them. This is not clearly visible in the photos, so it’s good to know in advance.
