Waterfront holiday rentals in Italy

What a wonderful way to spend a few days in Cinque Terre! Andrea’s place in Manarola was stunning with absolutely breathtaking views. The hills and steps are not for the weak of heart but 100% worth the visit.

Grazie a Francesca per averci fatti sentire come a casa e per tutti i consigli !

This place is amazing! The quiet nights on the patio, or walking down to the lake to enjoy the lights in the castle with evening setting on Lake Como were so wonderfully relaxing. I would recommend to anyone wanting to escape the insanity of Varenna. Other pluses. Town parking pass for Dervio. Amazing breakfast waiting for the ferry there, full kitchen for spectacular sunset meals with the best view of the lake!

Maria Sofia’s 2-bedroom penthouse must have the best view in all of Bogliasco. We wanted to spend all our time looking out at that view day and night! It’s spectacular. The unit is comfortably furnished, with everything you need. If you’re used to boxes of facial tissue or kitchen paper towels, & bottled water, there’s a Basko supermarket nearby. Furnishings are full of character—with vintage cameras, ships in bottles, even a vintage telescope! Plants, baskets, & cushions make the place homey. Lots of lovely restaurants & cafes within 10-15 minutes of walking, & so is the charming town center, with a piazza, church, stone bridge, wall art, green grocers, bakeries, & a gelateria with incredible gelato. My brother & I highly recommend Just Peruzzi, which has the most amazing & delicious Trofie pesto. Liguria is credited with inventing pesto, & at Peruzzi, you can really believe it! This was a wonderful vacation. Book early! This place is booked solid for the next 5 months!

There was a problem with the water in the apartment we had booked so Giuseppe had swapped us into one of his other apartments before arrival. It was beautiful and spacious, the decor was lovely. One of the nicest apartments we have stayed at in our Sicily trip. Licata itself is more of a working port, the location of the apartment is lovely, however it is not the most touristic of areas when you venture further out from the main part . Giuseppe sent us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and bars, and the harbor away from the commercial area is lovely.

Do not hesitate to book this beautiful Atrani home. Jaqueline is the most amazing host. The home, the location and the locals have made this a highlight of our trip. Close walk to Amalfi , with the peace and tranquility of this wonderful neighbourhood. Thank you and we hope to be back

Wow, absolutely love Daniela‘s place and the Panoramic Vista of the port, Costello and center of Aci Costello‘s Village is amazing from the huge well equipped Terrace. The penthouse had everything we needed for our stay and more! It’s worth the accent of stairs for a prize view from the terrace. We have found that the best gorgeous penthouse views in Italy and Sicily have stairs and with every effort! Enamored by and loved proximity of restaurants pastry shops, coffee bars, below in the village ! Eden bar pastry shop Gelateria amazing also restaurant PortoNuevo so adjacent. So many great places in the bustling quaint village. Just a 26 minute car trip to Catania to enjoy Local favorites Da Nittos seafood restaurant, Bar Quaranta pastry Gelateria the best local seafood and pastry shop in Catania plus Bar Europa. Taormina and Etna are very close as well for fun filled day trips. Daniela is a standout host and we thoroughly enjoyed our days in this Aci Costello penthouse !

I spent amazing Birthday in Fabio’s apartment! Beautiful place with everything you need and with amazing host who was always here to help with all of our requests. Thank you, Oriano, for making my family vacation just grate!!! Lots of love and ONLY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION

Louise was so sweet and her home is a little gem with the BEST bathtub EVER in the bedroom. Such a cool place and very roomie for a couple. Beautiful decor! Love the interior design touches mixing the old stone with more modern elements. The only negative was finding parking. Luckily we found a little spot all the way down the hill in front of the school….but this is Lake Como so we’re used to hiking up the hill!:) Just an FYI for anyone with mobility issues. We loved our stay and especially loved our meals out on the deck and also enjoyed Villa Lario built into the cliff just below. Fun experience:) We’d love to return sometime!

Everything was great! Location was perfect and the space was lovely. Hard to beat the private pool!

The most incredible home we have ever stayed at, it felt like a dream. Mario, was a fantastic host, the house was beautifully decorated, the view was stunning, the location was 10/10. We will never forget our stay at Casa lleana, and hope to come back again!

Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und wunderschön eingerichtet. Man ist in drei Minuten zu Fuss am Meer.Gute Busverbindungen nach Livorno.

Een heerlijk huisje in een authentiek dorp. We hebben genoten van het prachtige uitzicht vanaf het terras op de lekkere bank, heerlijk geslapen op de goede bedden (ook de sofabank) en de regendouche was ook super. Het contact met Kathi en Ivan was zowel snel als heel vriendelijk, gebruik vooral hun reisgids want daar staan hele goede aanbevelingen in. Pognana is een pareltje, je kunt mooie wandelingen maken naaf boven en op het 'strand' beneden zit je in no time. Bar Sonia boven is heel goed en gezellig, je bent er zo een vaste klant. Ook Marvin, onze hond, heeft genoten, er was nog een verrassing voor hem bij aankomst, heel lief! Je zit heerlijk privé in het huisje, soms hoor je de bovenburen, maar dat was niet storend. Van Bar Sonia hoor je overigens niets. Heel erg bedankt dat we mochten blijven en hopelijk tot ziens!

Giorgia & Riccardo were fantastic hosts and were truly helpful when I needed anything- especially their dining recs. The location is perfect yet super private and made me feel like a local with my own hidden getaway. Will definitely return.

Incredible little cottage next to the sea. You share a courtyard with other apartments that has direct access to the beach. The cottage has a private terrace overlooking the sea, where we spent much of our time. Just a wonderful place--peaceful and serene with a few restaurants and bars in walking distance. Maia was a great host who gave clear instructions and communicated well.

Superbe appartement situé à deux pas de la mer. L'appartement est impeccable, propre, bien équipé et très agréable à vivre. La seule chose à considérer est que les rideaux des chambres ne sont pas opaques, ce qui peut laisser entrer la lumière tôt le matin. Mais autrement, tout était parfait! Federica a été très polie, réactive et toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions. Nous recommandons sans hésiter! ******** Beautiful apartment just steps from the sea. The space is spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. The only thing to keep in mind is that the bedroom curtains are not blackout, so the rooms can get bright early in the morning. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Federica was polite, quick to respond, and always available for any questions. We would definitely recommend this place!

Wir hatten einen absolut traumhaften Aufenthalt! Die Lage der Wohnung war einfach perfekt – in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß konnten wir die Fähren nach Capri und Positano erreichen. Auch tolle, preiswerte Restaurants waren direkt in der Nähe, sodass wir jeden Abend entspannt und lecker essen konnten. Die Wohnung selbst war wunderschön, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und unglaublich sauber – wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wie zuhause gefühlt. Valentina war eine fantastische Gastgeberin: Sie hat auf jede Nachricht in kürzester Zeit geantwortet, oft sogar innerhalb von Sekunden. Ihre Herzlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft haben unseren Aufenthalt noch besonderer gemacht. Insgesamt war alles besser, als wir es uns hätten wünschen können – wir kommen definitiv wieder. Absolute Empfehlung!

Great location with stunning outlook. Gio very helpfully introduced us to a local taxi driver who collected us from port and provided help through the week. Will miss sitting on the balcony watching the world go by.

L'appartement loué par Naoki est vraiment unique. La terrasse à elle seule mérite cinq étoile.

Die Wohnung von Raffaele ist genau so, wie sie auf den Fotos dargestellt wird. Einen wunderschönen Innenhof hat uns empfangen mit einem super freundlichen Portier, so wie es in den schönen Gebäuden in Neapel noch heute gibt. Wir konnten unser Gepäck bei ihm deponieren (man muss etwas bezahlen) und konnten bereits problemlos und ohne Gepäck durch die schönen Strassen von Neapel spazieren. Das Check-in hat sehr gut funktioniert und wir konnten dann die das schöne und gepflegte Appartment übernehmen. Wir haben uns gleich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Raffaele stand uns immer zur Verfügung für jegliche Info. Man ist zu Fuss sehr schnell in den schönsten Gassen und Sehenswürdigkeiten von Neapel, die UBahn ist gleich vor dem Haus. In der Wohnung war alles vorhanden, was man für einen längeren Aufenthalt sehr gut gebrauchen kann. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder und werden das Bijou von Raffaele sehr gerne weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank Raffaele, durften wir in deinem schmucken Apartement wohnen. A presto

We stayed for two nights and spent a lot of time on the balcony. The views and home itself looked even more magical in person. So many amazing restaurants and an incredible wine bar right down the street. We didn't want to leave and cannot wait to return. We are in great shape and only visited with a backpack so stairs were not an issue for us. Worth every step! Felt safe and enjoyed our stay. Host was very accommodating and even got us a taxi when we had to catch an earlier train back to Rome! Believe us, you want to book La Casa Sull Acqua!!!

Simply a wonderful place to stay! The apartment is beautifully situated with stunning views of the bay. It is exactly as it looks in the photos! Luca was an exceptional host - extremely helpful and responsive, there is nothing he could have done better. The property is well appointed and a tranquil refuge on this stunning coastline. I cannot recommend highly enough and will definitely be back!

Giorgio’s apartment was fantastic—light-filled, beautifully set up, and with the most spectacular view. It felt more like a well-loved home than a typical Airbnb, with all the amenities you’d expect from a fully functioning house. Check-in was seamless thanks to Giorgio’s daughter, and we immediately felt at ease. The location is perfect for day trips to Portofino and Cinque Terre, and just a 10-minute drive away is the charming town of Camogli—all in all this home was one of our favourite stops during our three-week trip around Italy. We absolutely loved our stay and only wish we could’ve stayed longer. Hope to return again soon!

Luigi’s Napoli condo was even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures portray. We stayed one day/night to catch an early morning flight back to the U.S. the next day since the condo is only about a 20-25 min drive to Napoli Airport. The condo is in a very safe neighborhood that is extremely walkable with tons of shops and restaurants. And the view, words can’t describe! You can see Mt. Vesuvius, Sorrento and the aisle of Capri, all surrounded by the glistening sea. If you find yourself in Naples, do yourself a favor and book this amazing place!
