Earth house holiday rentals in Balkans

My family and I stayed at Andrea’s house for four nights. This is one of those hidden gems that makes you truly happy when you find it. Located in a beautiful, quiet little fishing village, the house sits right by the stunning, clear sea. The peace, the view, waking up every morning with a cappuccino at the local coffee spot, the lady from the supermarket, the wedding couples getting photographed at the harbor every day, the evening beer at the same coffee place, the fish market where you can get fresh fish daily — it’s all pure joy. I’d love to come back for a week of doing absolutely nothing and just enjoying it all. The house is a lovely and cozy place. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen could use a little extra love (cleaning), but that is easily outweighed by the authentic and pure feeling you get in beautiful Pozzillo. Thank you, Andrea, for your hospitality!

Very pleasant stay at Irene's. House very well located in the middle of olive trees and close to many places. Irene is a very welcoming, kind, caring person... we were treated to small specialties when arriving and returning in the evening... i highly recommend. Thank you Irene

Beautiful stay - perfect for a couple of days for relaxation. Close proximity to both Cefalu and Palermo

A unique experience Thank you very much to Mrs. Elda who was able to meet all our needs. Thank you again for these days of complete relaxation

Lovely Villa, beautiful outdoor space with pool and sun terrace. Lovely access to the sea via Beach with padel board and kayak. Very nice spot.

Chiara’s airbnb is the perfect place to stay at when exploring Matera! A beautiful and quiet « cave home », in the heart of Matera. Chiara was very responsive and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities. We highly recommend her place. We also recommend hiking the Parco Regionale della Murgia Materana at sunset. Incredibly beautiful! Thank you Chiara for welcoming us in your very special home!

We were very pleased. When we arrived, the fridge was filled up, which was very convenient for us. We were able to eat it for several days. Due to the low season, the tavernas were unfortunately closed and we always had to move the car to find one. That was not entirely clear to us in advance. The property is ideally located for exploring the east and surrounding cities. On the roof terrace you could easily spend an afternoon in the sun and in the evening there was fantastic light at sunset. We didn't lack anything. Everywhere you have found small gadgets or board games. Only the small bathroom and the very soft beds on the upper floor were not quite as we imagined, but the rest of the place was so nice that you could easily overlook it. We got tips for the area and the landlady was always reachable. We recommend the place!

We felt comfortable with Giorgos and Evi right from the start. Despite the delay of our flight, the two of them were there late at night and calmly explained everything to us. The tiny house was very clean, functional and equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed ending the day on the atmospheric terrace or cooling off in the pool in between. Our landlords were always there for us and even brought us local desserts once. We can warmly recommend the place to anyone looking for a place to stay near Heraklion.

The house is lovely, with all the necessary equipment for cooking and laundry. The area is beautiful and very peaceful, especially as we were there out of season. If you want to stay away from very touristy areas, this is your place! Aimonas could not have been more helpful, taking us to the place (which might not be super easy to find otherwise), and giving us lots of recommendations for local restaurants and advice about the area. Our stay was perfect, exactly what we were looking for. Ps: definitely need to rent a car if you want to visit the island (Aimonas can help with that too)

The level of attention and detail provided by the team was unparalleled. I felt as though we had a private concierge on hand for anything we needed. Stunning space, the type of home you don’t want to leave. Bravo!

What a fantastic location! Large terrace with view to the sea. Uniquely designed interior, tasteful, functional and clean.

We loved the house and garden. Perfect for holiday with children. Very clean and close to nature.

Staying at Sanja and Lucas was amazing. Sanja checked us in and was an incredible host - she was proactive, provided local recommendations to help us explore Hvar and were very flexible. The home itself was truly beautiful and had stunning views. The garden as well provided so much privacy. Would love to come back and stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Jereni barn in Krk! Ozana and her team were super helpful, we had a late check-in and they made everything easy. We are a family of four travelling with two toddlers and the house was perfect for us! It’s also close to beautiful beaches. Thanks for a great stay!

I had a wonderful stay at Mare’s charming townhome in the heart of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. The location couldn’t have been better—tucked away in a quaint, quiet corner but just steps from all the historic sites, restaurants, and vibrant local life. The home itself was cozy, clean, and full of character—perfect for soaking in the atmosphere of this beautiful city. Mare was a truly exceptional host—attentive, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, including arranging for porter service, which is a must-avail service. You can tell she really cares about making sure her guests have a great experience. I’d absolutely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Dubrovnik. Thanks again, Mare!

A beautiful location right by the sea with a lovely beach close by as well as swimming from the rocks below . Michaels is a fantastic host - always available with great recommendations and time for just a chat. Make sure you order the breakfast . It was delicious. All in all a wonderful spot with a wonderful host.

This is an amazing place to spend a week in, if you like mountain scenery, walking around a beautiful scenic village with stone build houses, and eating in many great restaurants local delicacies. Also, skiing was great as we were lucky with the snowfall, and the centre is 25 minutes away. The place itself is very cute, has all the amenities including a really good sauna we used every day, a beautiful stone fire place and all the amenities we needed as a group of six, including a lot of board games. Margarita is a super responsive host, who provided fantastic local information and sorted out any issues and questions we had. Highly recommended, we are thinking of coming back next year!

Had an amazing stay at Ilirs hostel! We loved how the place was managed sustainable. We also very much enjoyed the vegan/vegetarian traditional food prepared at the hostel and the host was very nice and helpfull. Would definately recommend a stay at ‘The House in the Village’.

Great way to experience Turkey away from city life - cherry trees, dogs every where, outdoor fire pit to cook on, seeing stars as you fall asleep. It’s cabin life in the mountains of Turkey edition.

We had a wonderful stay at Ante. You are immediately relaxed upon arrival and are very warmly welcomed. The villa is a house to feel good in that leaves nothing to be desired It certainly wasn't our last stay here.

Extremely lovely place with lots of character. We had a lovely stay, even with the rain. Will definitely come back when in the region

Can’t say enough, really enjoyed the stay, were there for two weeks and found everything terrific. Very relaxing, easy to get around, car park available and bus outside. Marin, his father and mother were great, so helpful and generous. Thank you and we will be back

really nice house in a beautiful setting - totally recommended!

The Drakoni House is a unique, wonderful place that was built and furnished with a lot of love. Alexandros paid a lot of attention to detail during construction and made an effort to preserve as many remnants of the old house as possible. This charm comes across very well. We were only there for a week, but it was enough time for us to feel very much at home and to relax. The nearest village is beautiful and has lots of nice little restaurants. Alexandros' tips made us feel very involved and he made the vacation very special. We will definitely come back.
