Waterfront holiday rentals in Ionian Sea

Lucci d’Oriente exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious, cheerfully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything - nothing is missing. From each window you can see the sea, as if you were inside it. The terrace with direct access to the sea is a real privilege. Going up from there to the apartment takes some effort, but it's totally worth it. It is ideal for a family with children, very comfortable and functional. Santa Cesarea Terme is quiet, with some options to eat light and enjoy an ice cream. Parking lot next door is free if there is a place, and very accessible if paid. Rita and Stefano were exceptional hosts: attentive, friendly and always available. They made us feel right at home. We would definitely go back!

Great place. Loved being able to sit on the balcony and see the main promenade of Himare. Lovely apartment that is kitted out with everything you could need. Perfect location.

Fantastic host. Quick and helpful communication all the time, making the stay very easy and welcoming, the place was incredibly clean and completely furnished and equipped with everything from cups to towels to cards and games. 10/10.

We cannot speak highly enough of this apartment - it is so well appointed with quality furnishings, linen, bedding and kitchen. The apartment was immaculately clean. The location is perfect between the two major beaches at Himare but the best is the little private beach right in front of the property. Our host was always almost immediately responsive. We loved loved loved our stay and didn’t want to leave.

Perfect location right in the heart of the old city and incredible views of the sea from the terrace. Best sunsets! Amazing restaurants within 1 minute walk. Directly above the beach, 1 minute walk down to the beach. The terrace is spacious and even has an outdoor shower! The apartment itself is very spacious and the kitchen has everything you need. Very comfortable beds and plenty of natural light. Some street noise at night but never an issue for us. Parking was a bit far (10-15 min walk, but those are the city rule). Very communicative, kind and helpful host. We really loved our stay here and would highly recommend.

Very nice location. You look out over the boulevard where there is plenty to do. Really a beautiful view from your balcony, beach is within walking distance. The only pity was that there was no elevator and that we had to go up and down 8 stairs every time. Great for the figure!

Very kind and available host. Beautiful apartment with fantastic views facing Corfu and the beaches of Saranda. Ksamil is a few kilometers away and easy to reach. Easy parking (at least in June). Very well-stocked kitchen. Ultra-modern washing machine.

It was great! wow! we are so excited how beautiful it was at Alexandros! everything spotless, super kitchen with everything you need, clean bed, very comfortable, super quiet location and very private, it was ideal for our honeymoon and it was even cleaned every day when we were not there. Everything was really perfect and we can also highly recommend the accommodation with the great location. Thank you for everything

We loved our stay at the Lemonhouse: loved the location in a quiet hamlet by a tower, with tavernas in reasonable walking distance, plus spots for swimming in the sea only a couple of minutes away. As others have mentioned, the house is beautifully and cleverly renovated, with both a ground floor and roof terrace with views over the sea. The house is equipped with everything you could need. We didn't use the bicycles but cycling around the area looks nice.

Location very good, the view from the terrace to the sea priceless. Apartment clean and as described. Host always available and very friendly. We felt very comfortable and can only recommend this accommodation. The location is very good and ideally suited for excursions.

Dionysis was very friendly and very helpful. Gave us a lot of great recommendations and was there to meet us at check-in and check out! The neighboring town Alinkanas was the perfect speed for our trip. Not too busy but still some great dining and bars to pick from, very safe area

Christina is an awesome host ! - really can’t wait to stay there again. Very friendly welcome and departure, very comfortable house with all necessary amenities. Nice level walk along the moorings to the town centre and all the fabulous restaurants!

Honestly the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The semi private cove was a big highlight, no one else used this our entire trip so felt like we had a private beach on the doorstep! The views were incredible from the garden, one day we planned to go to the beach however enjoyed the garden so much we decided to stay! Great distance to lassi where the restaurants and bars are. Paid €8 for a taxi into argostoli and took roughly 7minutes to drive. Very good location’

The location is great and the room was clean and had tea and coffee. Loanna was so generous and kind. It has the best view over the harbour and felt very welcomed. Nothing was too much trouble. Met me at the bus stop and walked me to it from my departure. Catherine.

Terrific place, very helpful host… will be back. Thank you Maria!

Lovely location, house as described, it is small and simple inside with a lovely garden and direct access to the sea. A nice welcome pack and plenty of essential items like toilet rolls and bin bags provided, which was a bonus as no one wants to shop for these on holiday! We really enjoyed our stay and also George and Elena's Taverna across the road where we were given a really warm welcome and great food.

We had a very relaxing time in Vittorio's apartment. The large balcony has a great view of the sea. 2 beaches are directly opposite, only across the less-traveled road from the apartment. The free city beach with the wind-protected bay can also be reached in a few minutes on foot. The sea is crystal clear and shines in all shades of blue. The old town of Otranto is also within a few minutes' walk and offers a wide range of restaurants and ice cream parlors. Vittorio welcomed us very nicely, also gave us many tips during the stay and stayed in touch with us. The apartment is lovingly furnished and has everything you need. We recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to spend a relaxing holiday in Otranto.

what a find,fantastic location perfect for a couple Eleni helpful and not intrusive, highly recommend . Plan to return

What a place !!! The apartment is as good as the photos , it is in a peaceful area but right on the edge of all the hustle and bustle . So you have the best of both worlds ! The views of Garitsa bay are amazing , I can’t imagine that there is anywhere in the area that has better views of the bay , especially from the roof top of the apartment building. Getting up early and having your breakfast there whilst the sun rises is something not to be missed . You are completely transported to a different world and it’s a great way to start the day ! Last but not least Xanthi the host is a lovely woman who is always on hand if you needed anything and was very accommodating with check out as we had a late flight . Her attention to detail around the apartment really helped to make our final 8 days in Corfu exactly what we needed !

What started as a last-minute trip to Zakynthos became pure magic! Angelo and his parents are incredible hosts—caring, helpful, and truly dedicated to your perfect stay. Their genuine warmth makes this hidden gem shine even brighter. The location is breathtaking. Imagine waking to unbelievable turquoise sea views and the soothing sound of waves. Evenings under the stars, listening to the ocean, are simply special. This quiet, serene sanctuary is ideal for decompressing amidst natural beauty. Sterre of the Sea, Angelo, and his family offer a truly beautiful experience. A must-stay! I'm already planning my return in August.

The property is well-located and offers good access to old town, restaurants and shops. The space itself is clean and matches the description provided in the listing. However, I did encounter some challenges during my stay. A strong sewage smell in the bathroom persisted for a few days, which made it difficult to use the facilities. While the issue was eventually resolved with the help of the host’s parents, the situation was uncomfortable for a portion of my stay. The communication with the hostess was responsive, but at times I felt the tone could have been more understanding. Overall, the stay had both positive aspects and areas that could be improved.

Great location, comfortable beds and well equipped apartment. Lucy was very responsive to our request to extend our stay which made our whole trip to Corfu perfect. Thanks for the stay.

Great apartment very close to the pier with a wonderful view. Amarildo is so helpful and friendly - thanks!

A fantastic gem of an apartment well worth the 4 flights of stairs. Exceptionally clean, fantastic views from the balcony of the bay around Sarandë. Very convenient location, literally a 2 minute walk from the ferry port. Chris was very helpful and flexible, helped bring our luggage up the stairs and personally showed us around. He also let us store our luggage on our check out day and come back later to collect it. 100% would recommend this place. Loved it.
