Vacation rentals with a beach view in Balkans

This is an amazing house on a beachfront road in a charming little town. There is a small square in walking distance that has a nice bar/coffee shop and restaurant. The house itself is lovely with very comfortable beds and amazing views both of the ocean out the front door and balcony, and of Mt Etna out of the two back balconies. Bedrooms are good sized with two full baths on the first floor and a half bath with the bedroom on the second floor. We had 5 adults in our group and never felt cramped. WiFi is good. Hosts are very friendly and helpful and very responsive to questions and give a good list of local attractions and restaurants to try. House is in an area with easy access to both Catania and Taormina, both about 35-45 minutes away by car. Would definitely stay here again if ever back in the area.

Alessandra’s place was incredible. We enjoyed being there just as much as we enjoyed traveling around Italy. Town of Conca dei Marini and the little beach there were our favorites. Friendly people, beautiful surroundings, great central location - close to Amalfi, Agerola, Positano and Ravello. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. Beautiful sunrises every day. Property manager, Anna Maria was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and amenities. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at Mario’s! The space was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, but the real highlight was the view—it was absolutely breathtaking. Whether I was sipping coffee in the morning or winding down in the evening, the scenery made every moment feel extra special. Mario was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. This was our first multi-family international trip, and staying here was definitely the right choice. We explored several of the nearby smaller port towns for dinner, and everything we wanted to see and do was easily accessible by car. One day, we even stayed local and enjoyed the beach, which was just a short walk from the house. Everyone in the neighborhood was so friendly—even taking the time to show my parents how to look for wild asparagus! It was truly a perfect trip and the perfect place to stay. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat

Everything was fine, lovely place ideal for a relaxing holiday with beautiful scenery. The hosts were nice and so was their lovely cat.

Our stay in Old Town was an absolute dream. Nestled amidst the charming cobblestone streets and historic architecture, this home perfectly captured the magic of the area while providing all the modern comforts we needed. The location was unbeatable — just steps away from iconic landmarks, quaint cafes, and bustling markets. The home itself was beautifully preserved, with touches of its original character shining through in the exposed beams, vintage windows, and tasteful decor.

Apart from the stairs to trek the suitcases down. The accomodation was beautiful and clean and well presented. Absolute beautiful view from the balcony of Positano. Shared pool is of a great size and lots of beds for sun (although sun drops behind the hill in the afternoon) and also you’ll need to have a swim cap (which is provided). A couple of restaurants are within a 10 min walk otherwise a decent trek to the town. Down is 25 mins and relatively painless. Up is something needing a lot of commitment and not little kids! Overall we had an awesome stay and really enjoyed our time. A beautiful town. Just a little pricey all round.

This place is wonderful. It is a collection of a few traditional villas which have been beautifully renovated and decorated. Konstantinos offered us a slightly larger villa (Diktamos) which was decorated in the same style and furniture. The villa has everything you need, lovely welcome items, comfortable bed, amazing shower. There is a little mini market on site too open 24/7 for drinks or anything else you might need. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and you can see all the way to the sea. Small quiet village with a GREAT taverna, and lots of other places to eat in nearby villages (by car). It is a very windy road up the hill to reach the village but definitely worth it!!!! Remote and peaceful yet close enough to the coast and city that we could enjoy the Chania region. I definitely recommend.

What a wonderful week! George and Sofia were extremely kind and attentive hosts, giving us all the help and information we needed. As we arrived late, Sofia offered us some delicious stuffed peppers and had left us a bottle of wine plus stuff for our first breakfast, which we really appreciated. It’s in a great location with lovely views from the private terrace across the garden and olive groves to the sea. Although less than a mile to the airport, it was very quiet (only a handful of flights a day). There’s a small mini market up the road, and LIDL and Kritikos supermarkets are about 10 minutes’ drive away. Just 10-15 minutes’ drive to the capital Argostoli, it’s a great base to explore the island by car. There was tea, coffee and essentials like olive oil, salt and pepper and all the appliances you need to cook – we loved breakfasts on the balcony and dinner on the terrace as the sun set. If we return to Kefalonia, we would definitely stay here again. Many thanks, George and Sofia!

Great location. Initial arrival parking and apartment directions complex but worth the effort.

Lovely top floor unit with a huge balcony and spacious balcony that has views to the North and East. The bed is soft and A/C unit is quiet at night should you need it, but we were surprised how cool the apartment kept despite being 4 floors up. The living room is spacious with a lovely view of the sea and a decent kitchen set-up. The bathroom might not be for everyone as the shower is small and not completely enclosed, but it was not problem for us. Giorgios kindly left us a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine and he allowed us to check-in early, which was a big help for our schedule.

We had an incredible 6 night stay at this apartment in Trogir. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Old Town, making it super convenient for exploring the area. Despite being so close to everything, the apartment felt very private and homey. It truly gave us the feeling of living like a local. Breakfast or drinks on the roof deck with the view of the harbor is really special. We especially appreciated having a washing machine and a full kitchen, which made our stay even more comfortable. The surrounding area has plenty of options for meals, and we found some exceptional coffee spot nearby (Agape Coffee). Tonko, the host, was exceptional in his communication and flexible with our arrival time, making the check-in process smooth and easy. We loved this place so much that we booked it again for after our sailing trip. If you’re looking for a cozy, private spot in Trogir that feels like home, we highly recommend staying here!

The view is absolutely beautiful and worth the stairs! We loved waking up to it and the balcony was lovely for a cup of coffee or a night cap. The apartment was well equipped, quiet, sunny but had blinds and curtains if needed. We really liked the location - close to a nice promenade, a hike and a beach. The host was very nice as well and made sure we had what we needed.

We absolutely loved Naples, Alessandra was a kind and incredibly helpful host, and this was a great home base for us to explore from. Also worth mentioning that the view from the terrace is priceless. We have two kids, ages 11 and 14, and exploring Naples brought some of their favorite experiences in Italy. Alessandra helped us discover hidden gem restaurants (that felt full of locals rather than tourists) and walking from the apartment down to the seaside and along the water made for a magical afternoon. From Naples we did a day trip to Pompeii by train and to Sorrento by ferry. It was an incredible stay— we hope to return soon!

Great place, great location, very safe

Fantastic stay at Sabina's apartment. (first time we went to another country) The apartment was clean and everything was ready when we arrived, just unpack the luggage. The views of the bay and mountain are amazing. The sunsets are just fantastic. Despite our very approximate English, communication with Sabina was fluid and she was very good tips for activities. Cavtat, 3 km away, is a beautiful city with many friendly places to eat ( local Dalmatino cuisine: our favorite) and great places to explore. Friendly, with a sense of humor, helpful and discreet, etc. Sabina is an OUTSTANDING host. I would recommend the place without hesitation.

We had a wonderful stay at Agostino’s home. We were greeted by his parents upon a late arrival. They were very kind in providing us with pasta and fresh veggies for dinner (you need a car or taxi to go to town). The house is spacious and clean. We spent time relaxing at the pool and enjoyed the amazing views. Thank you, Agostino’s parents for your great hospitality.

it was a pleasant stay, the appartement is nicely decorated and very well located ! the terrace is beautiful and Mario is very arrangeable. we stayed a month there and we have really enjoyed the place !

We immediately felt at home in Manolis and Maria's apartment. The reception was very personal and there was even food available for breakfast. The location was perfect for us. We had a magnificent view of the bay. Just a few steps from the apartment is a great, small beach without stones, which leads shallowly into the water. There are also several good taverns outside the door. The path into the village leads beautifully along the water. Agios Nikolaos has a lot to offer and we discovered very nice corners. Our favorite excursion, just about 10 kilometers away, was the mountain village of Kritsa. With this very well equipped and impeccably clean accommodation, you will definitely make a very good choice and can look forward to the vacation from the moment of booking!

María is a great host. Very kind and accommodating. She was very helpful upon check in and at check out. Her place is clean, quiet and has everything you need. The view of Acropolis from her place is amazing. Would highly recommend Maria’s place.

Helga's home was perfect! The location is so beautiful, with every window looking onto an orange grove filled with bird song. The location is so peaceful and quiet. The path to the wall beyond the grove was enchanting and the view of the sea a must see. We walked there each morning to sip our coffee. The home is large, and kept in perfect condition. Helga was very helpful in making sure we got in and are happy. Her assistant Rosa was lovely and helpful. We would definitely stay again, and didn't want to leave. The bed in the bedroom is firm, and on the cooler days the floor can be cold so bring some warm socks. The home is equipped with heat that works really well, and I imagine it stays nice in the summer with the many windows and the breeze. If you are headed to Sorrento, stay here!

Francisco has a beautiful apartment just off the beaten path with a stunning views of the coast and of Vesuvius. On a clear day you have the most stunning view of Naples. Francisco was super communicative and we had friendly interactions. The space was very comfortable, clean and spacious
