Cottage vacation rentals in Francavilla al Mare

Really charming villa, immersed in the greenery of a hill above Gaeta, with breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. An ideal place for those looking for silence and peace of nature just 7 minutes from the village and beautiful beaches. The last stretch of road is quite challenging and requires a safe and loose guide but, once you arrive, everything invites you to stay: the warm and personal decor, the large bright doors and windows (equipped with providential mosquito nets) and the terrace overlooking the view, as well as the beautiful garden. The house does not have wifi and mobile coverage is limited to some areas. From the kitchen, a rather steep staircase is used to climb to the upper floor (which can be circumvented from the outside). Very warm welcome from a friend of the owner, who provided us with total availability, valuable advice and support during the stay, as well as a welcome gift. We had a great time, thank you Iole and Robertangelo!

Marilia's home was more perfect than we expected. Marilia is a born super host. She has the "anything for my guests attitude" and a show place home with the modern design of a centuries old historic home. Privacy, security and pastoral beauty. We were easily able to drive the back roads to visit many charming villages surrounding Marilia's home in Valle d'Itria. It was always a pleasure to return late in the evenings to the well lit country home and press the gate opener and feel the oasis of quiet all around us. Simply a perfect sized gorgeous home away from home while we visited family in Puglia. 5 stars. Would stay here again and again...

La dolce vita is what you will find at the "Casetta Segreta". A peaceful and relaxing environment. You will be enchanted by the charm of this region that pushes you to relax and contemplate. A very beautiful address, a responsive host who cares about your well-being and who offers you activities. Thank you Erika for introducing us to the "Panzerotti" (a real delight) and thank you to Flaviana for her kindness and smile. A very nice house easy to live in and love.

For us as a family of 4 with not very young children, it was optimal. The balcony offered meals with a super view, and also the pool was perfect for cooling off.

Wonderful place, in the middle of the olive groves, we enjoyed the beautiful view and the nice garden every day, where our dog could roam freely. Absolutely recommended, with the note that the access road is poor and very steep, so you do have to dare to drive a bit.

If we could give Gina, Viki and Noa 10 stars we would! Absolutely amazing place to stay for our honeymoon. The host were quick to respond to any queries we had, left us with a few welcome gifts in the fridge and Gina was there to meet us on check in. We’d never experienced this level of hospitality before in an Airbnb and we cannot thank you enough. Cavtat is such a beautiful place and we highly recommend anyone to stay at the cottage. We’re already planning our next visit and will look forward to seeing the very friendly cats who we fed everyday. The hot tub was a massive bonus and just what you need after a busy day of exploring. Thank you, Gary, Claire and Jess.

Staying at Marina'a place was a dream. It was a truly wonderful experience, in which you are tucked away on the hillside surrounded by olive trees and lovely views of the rolling topography and sea. The intention of the landscaping, layout, and amenities of the cottage satisfied every possible need and more, making for a tranquil holiday. Marina is by far the best host we've ever encountered. She was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. It was a delight to talk with her and learn a bit about her travels and life on the island. Don't miss the opportunity to connect with her!

We had a lovely stay at this peaceful B&B just 30 minutes from Positano. The view was stunning, and there were great restaurants nearby. Giulia was a fantastic host — so kind and thoughtful. She made sure everything was perfect every day, and she was especially sweet with our baby. Her adorable dogs (including two puppies!) made us feel even more at home. Highly recommend!

We immediately felt very comfortable in this picturesque place. Far from the hustle and bustle of the place, but easily accessible to the beach and Vieste in 5 to 8 minutes by car. You have to get used to the last steep climb. All-round views and beautiful lovingly designed places make the accommodation unique. Perfect for 2 people. We will be happy to come back.

Very pleasant stay, the apartment is comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Very kind owners; the garden and parking space were not a given comfort, not to mention the beautiful area. We hope to be back soon

We spent a wonderful time with our family at Novella in the very nice rural house with an eclectic garden and a small refreshing pool. There we had a lot of peace to read and otherwise we went by car to the nearby sandy beach and by train to Rome and Naples. We could park the car at the train station. Novella gave us many helpful tips on eating and swimming on site and was always available otherwise. Absolutely recommended to anyone looking for peace away from mass tourism and still want to enjoy the culture and beach nearby.

We were completely satisfied in the small paradise right on the beach. The house and check in were all impeccable. Giuseppe is a loving, helpful and generous host. Thank you for everything.

The place is truly a dream. The picturesque view of the sea picked us up directly and significantly contributed to relaxation. The bright blue tiles, the fireplace, the surrounding olive grove - everything plays together and makes the place really special. Absolutely recommended!

Beautiful historic property which was easily accessible to the tourist towns such as Ostuni, Alberobello etc. Pierfrancesco was a generous host and made us feel at home. Would definitely recommend and stay again

We loved staying at Antonija's b'n'b! If you plan on staying here, expect a warm and friendly welcome, a clean and cozy place to stay, and everything you need within reach. Antonija is super knowledgable on the area and is able to help with recommendations of things to do. She was super accommodating for anything we needed and made us the most lovely cakes to try, from scratch! The house was squeaky clean and we were provided with fresh linen and towels a few days into our stay - didn't even have to ask. Thanks for your hospitality Antonija, we look forward to staying with you again very soon!! <3

A very nice and cozy house. We enjoyed the view and the beautiful surroundings with plenty of hiking opportunities - and our three children loved the wooden cabin in the woods.

We were two families in an apartment, 4 adults and 5 children aged 9-15 years. We had two wonderful weeks at the villa. The villa has an incredibly great view of the sea, and has a swimming pool, ping pong, basketball hoop and more that children could be active with. We arrived late at night, but Rosa was ready to receive us. There was food so we could have both breakfast and lunch the next day. The apartment was well cleaned during the stay and linens were changed. It is helpful with a car to get around as shop is not in a walking condition. We visited various lovely beaches, and were excited about the cozy town of Vasto. We found that people were generally nice and welcoming. We would definitely recommend Villa Osca and the surrounding area to other travelers.

This is a great place. We felt immediately at home. The apartment is very clean with a good bed and we liked the high beautiful sealing. Also wonderful for a stroll around the olive trees. Best wishes,

We had a truly lovely stay at Nora’s cottage in Kupari. The location is perfect for exploring not just Croatia, but also the neighbouring countries, making it an ideal base for our holiday. Nora and her husband were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, always on hand with anything we needed –from sunhats to umbrellas – and even thoughtful touches like books and board games that kept our son thoroughly entertained. One of the highlights was the charming garden with three friendly tortoises – Nora kindly showed our son how to feed them, which was a real delight for him. We also enjoyed fresh herbs and salad from their garden, and were even offered use of their outdoor grill. A warm, peaceful retreat with wonderful hosts –we would gladly return. Thank you!

Host always available and friendly. Very clean house with scented sheets and impeccable bathrooms Perfect outdoor space for grilling with a breathtaking view. In the house you will find everything you need Pleasant and sociable dogs who kept us company these days RECOMMENDED

A beautiful oasis away from the bustle of Capri, with Anacapri a bus ride away. The cottage is a place to relax. We went to the local market (which is a walk, but everything is a walk on the island), cooked, and dined al fresco. Massimo was wonderfully responsive and helpful. Because we were there during a heatwave, the only thing which would have made it better would have been airconditioning - at least in the main bedroom. Because it is in a garden there are mosquitos, but with the insect repellent provided, we were ok. We enjoyed our stay.

This apartment was a perfect spot for my daughters stay here in Tufillo. The apartment is a nicely updated traditional house with lots of exposed beams and boasts a lovely view of the mountains from its patio. She appreciated the well laid out and cozy kitchen floor the most as her stay was in winter and the woodstove is there for heating the radiators. She looks forward to returning at other times of the year.

The apartment is in a beautiful and peaceful location, and is easy to find. It’s spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, and the view from the terrace over the lake is just stunning. Antonella and Dario are exceptional hosts, responding to messages and fixing any problems almost instantly. They definitely went above and beyond to make our stay really comfortable.

It's just the type of place we were looking for. Surrounded by nature, quiet and comfortable. Excellent management by the host Efisio, always available and very discreet. We had a very good time. Among other things, the area, the Roveto Valley, is full of villages to visit and trails to walk. To get an idea of the places that are in the area, you can view the videos of some of the places we visited and that are published on the social pages of "Exploring in Freedom." Warm greetings to Valle Roveto and Efisio!!
