Cottage vacation rentals in Balkans

Wonderful country house near Cassano delle Murgia. Beautiful garden around the house. Peace, quiet and complete relaxation from city life. The interior of the house is decorated with great taste. Everything is authentic and comfortable. Manuela is a nice, very responsive and helpful hostess. I recommend this accommodation to all lovers of outdoor recreation.

Amazing terrace, felt private and had nice views on the sea and mountains. Great communication with the host.

Our stay at Evangelia’s place was easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had—and I’ve traveled to multiple countries over the past 10+ years! Our host was simply the best I’ve ever encountered. She was kind, friendly, attentive, and always responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The place itself was immaculate. The interior was spotless, classic, and so well-maintained. Outside, the views were breathtaking. Each night, we were treated to the incredible sight of the Milky Way, and in the mornings, we had the ocean in clear view and goats greeting us as we enjoyed the delicious breakfast our host generously provided. It was so peaceful and quiet—pure tranquility. I’ve been recommending this place to everyone because it truly was the highlight of my trip. The location was also ideal—conveniently in the middle of the island, making it easy to drive to various spots, nothing too far! You’ll definitely need a rental car though! Book this place!!!!!!

Dalibor's cottage is a great place. Very clan and spacious and perfectly equipped for a short - or longer - stay. We really liked the atmosphere and leisuring on the deck and in the jacuzzi after long hikes in the neighborhood. You are a few minutes away by car from 3 large supermarkets and any styles of restaurants. Perfect place for sending time in the Plitvice area (the entrance of the Park is 20 minutes away). Thanks Dalibor !

I had a wonderful stay at this house. It’s located in a quiet countryside setting, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The highlight of the stay was definitely the jacuzzi and sauna, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The house itself is clean, well-maintained, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with great amenities, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

We had an awesome stay! The house was perfect, and the daily breakfast was delicious. We’ll definitely come back!

We stayed two days with the aim to relax and be comfortable in the Romanian winter. The place is really warm and cozy , clean and has a very nice hot tub inside which we used for an extra fee , and the utilities described are accurate. the host is really friendly always ready to help speaks fluently English and her recommendations for eating or sightseeing were very helpful. There is a very clean and organized kitchenette near the house ,also very cozy ready for use at any time with everything that you could need Me and my girlfriend had two very relaxed and cozy days and I would recommend it to anyone that comes for the Romanian mountains either in the winter or summer.

I had an amazing experience staying at Nitra’s place! From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was incredible, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Nitra was an exceptional host—super friendly, responsive, and always ready to help with recommendations for local spots. Their hospitality made my stay even better! The location was perfect, I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch Airbnb experience. Thank you, , for an unforgettable stay!

Lovely, peaceful setting with a view of the mountains and a convenient walking path to the village. You have ultimate privacy as the home is located at the very end of a gravel road through agricultural fields and small garden plots. House was very clean and everything worked just fine. Very convenient to the large market (groceries, general household needs...and gelato!). Two things to be aware of: There are three houses in the general area with the same address so be sure to put the entire address into your GPS. Also all sleeping areas are upstairs up a stepladder type of stairs. It's fine, but not the house for those with mobility issues. Nela is warm and welcoming and very helpful with tips to make your stay in Slovenia memorable!

The cottage, its amenities, cleanliness, peaceful surroundings and nature, exceeded our expectations, as did the host’s hospitality. We’ve had everything we needed for a pleasant stay and felt at home. Ioannis, very kindly made sure we were looked after. We’ve had a memorable stay and are looking forward to going back soon.

Loved staying at Alvin's place and really enjoyed the fireplace and balcony. really, really good communication too. Alvin was also super helpful when we left some stuff behind.

we were looking for something private and cozy - the little stone house was just that. we had a nice time and can recommend it

The cottage complies with 100% of the information and photos provided. A very nice retreat if you don't want to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle of e.g. Zadar. The place was absolutely clean and very well furnished and equipped. Sanja greeted us personally as a host and showed us everything. The kitchen actually has everything you need for your daily needs. Washing machine and iron ensure that you can also clean something in between. Due to the fenced property is great with a dog, as he could move freely. Beds very comfortable, pool also absolutely sufficient in size. You have to be aware that you always need a car here to shop or eat out. The old town of Zadar is reachable in 20 minutes by car and absolutely worth seeing. Good restaurants, very friendly and animal-loving people. Generally very good transport connections in all directions. We will be happy to come back!

A sweet little cottage in beautiful nature, a peaceful and quiet location, perfect for a getaway, relaxation, and recharging energy. Beautiful views of the hills, vineyards, and greenery. Wonderful sunsets and a stunning, sparkling starry sky like we haven't seen in years! This is just one of the breath-taking features of the location. The house is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. I believe it's especially beautiful in other seasons when most of the time can be spent outdoors. Janez is an excellent host, friendly and quick to respond. We would definitely love to return.

Jakobov Hram is an extraordinary retreat, perfect for escaping the city rush and immersing yourself in a charming, tranquil atmosphere. The cottage is well-equipped for extended stays, with all the amenities you could need. The Wi-Fi works flawlessly, making it an excellent choice for remote work—I certainly managed well during my stay. Everything was impeccably clean, including a spotless bathroom stocked with all the essentials. The cottage’s location on a hill offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, especially magical in the morning. Just a 15-minute drive east to Podčetrtek, you'll find grocery stores, cafés, and local pubs, making the area both peaceful and convenient. Your host, Boštjan, is an exceptional and hardworking man. He provided us with invaluable tips for local trips, enhancing our experience at Jakobov Hram. If you love honey, he’s definitely the person to ask! A heartfelt thank-you to Boštjan for hosting us. We had a wonderful time at Jakobov Hram

We were very happy with the accommodation. Everything was clean and in good working order. Even the knives were sharp. This was a great choice of accommodation for us.

My wife and I really enjoyed this place. It has a very comfy vibe. Weather really put a damper on our trip but I could tell it was a beautiful backdrop. I recommend this place for anyone looking to have a peaceful stay.

such a gem! we had a rental car, so it was the perfect place to stay with easy parking and under a 10min drive to the town Vis. the vineyard is absolutely gorgeous - and so quiet and private! the cottage is so cute and perfect for a couple. the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner (and some olive oil for cooking), and the patio was wonderful for drinking wine and eating with a perfect view. the pool was amazing for a dip on a hot day! the on-site restaurant had just closed for the season which was a bummer, but we were still able to buy some bottles of wine from the owners. might have to come back when the restaurant opens again! :)

Absolutely stunning villa. All mod cons, everything that you need for a relaxing stay is provided...coffee machine, laundry facilities and air con in all rooms. Romeo the property manager is available for you to help with questions and recommendations. His little dog Nicky is a delight! Beautiful peaceful village location with a few stunning beachfront Tavernas and supermarkets for supplies. A wonderful patisserie is a 5 minute stroll for delicious bread and pastries. A lovely little beach is a 2 minute walk away and lots of things to see and do within a short drive. Thankyou for a wonderful stay. 💗 I thoroughly recommend this property and the host.

It’s a beautiful and cozy country house, surrounded by spacey green yard. It has everything needed for comfortable staying and relaxing. The nature around is absolutely stunning, there is strait path to the river right from the house. Communication with Ljubica was quick and pleasant. Thank you for that great experience, we’d definitely come again!

I must say it was the best vacation we have ever booked through Airbnb. The private pond is very special, which we also used every day. In addition, there is a real pool. I also found the herd of sheep to the neighboring property, which you could pet. Furthermore, there are 4 cats on the property, so if you have children, there is always one to play. Very good Hungarian restaurants are nearby, which are great value for money. The hosts Susann, Othmar and Tibor are super nice, know each other and try to make everything possible. I recommend having a trip organized by carriage. Here you are guided by a local through forests and the children are even allowed to steer themselves. Overall, I highly recommend the hosts and the property.

We took two cooking classes from Nino & Dina. We learned a lot. The food, wine & conpany were AMAZING. Caterina’s communications were always timely. Beautiful gardens surround the property & the heated (with electric blankets) bed was comfortable. The hosts are generous with breakfast food & even foods for dinner. Excellent coffee. Others have mentioned the dogs, & they bark a lot. Dina contacted the neighbor & it got better, but be prepared for dog noise. We’re not dog owners so it probably bothered us more than most. The apartment is comfortable with various heating options. As it’s an older property, it is compact & has a lot of things in it. If you’re a person of a larger size, the tiny bathroom may not work for you, but we found by opening the shower doors inward, it was more acceptable. Cute towns around to visit, but you have to be willing to drive a bit for them. We’re on a 5 month trip around the world. The cooking class experience has been our hi-light. ❤️

Excellent stay! Delightful house in a garden with vineyard and olive trees. Nice house, excellent zone for barbecue, beautiful terrace. We were so much in love with the house and the surroundings: figue trees, pomegranates, vineyards… Emre was always online and available to help and give advice. Definitely recommend and would love to go here again

Magalie has created the most amazing space in and around the cottage.. The cottage itself is so beautiful, spotlessly clean and has everything you could possibly need.... We sat every morning on the private terrace, drinking our coffee, staring at the sea.. Magalie is by far the best host we have ever had and her family and the local community simply adorable. We spent most of our days lazing on the dock of the stunning cove and swimming in the crystal clear waters. We did used the paddle boards, and were able to use the kayak which was wonderful heading to the caves. We had 10 days of pure paradise, it was the most relaxing holiday. Magalie is so incredibly kind and goes to so much trouble to ensure you have everything you need, extremely helpful and recommended some fantastic restaurants. We will most definitely return!
