Holiday rentals with a kayak in South Italy

Ideal for mother and daughter travelling, easy to get to by bus from Sorrento, about a 15 minute walk along the main road, separate wet and dry bathrooms, room was very clean and tidy, great view from the terrace, clean bath towels provided. The owner was quick to answer messages and even offered to call a man to carry our luggage to the marina when we checked out.

Excellent location once you find it. We had a little trouble but no worries, the views are stunning. The home is adequately equipped, clean and modern. The train runs close by and takes a while to get used to. The beach is great and there are plenty of chairs, umbrellas and toys. The location is central to nice towns, shopping and restaurants. If you can get to restaurant Vecchio Frantoio in Diamante it’s well worth it. Valerio and Laura are excellent hosts. You won’t be disappointed.

What a find!! This beautiful Apulian villa nestled among the olive groves of Ostuni was beyond all of our expectations!! The home , including an historical Trulo and luxurious pool are immaculate ; surrounded by pristine gardens all natural and organic. The white washed city of Ostuni is minutes away offering an abundance of restaurants, shopping and historical sites. Beautiful beaches are a short drive away with soft sandy beaches and the beautiful clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. Barbara and her husband were extremely helpful and always available to help in any way! Barbara's recommendations were spot on and she even went out of her way to make reservations for us at restaurants, cooking classes and wine tours! I highly recommend this amazing villa for your next vacation!

The villa is compact but perfectly formed. It had everything we needed. The outside space is fantastic and we spent most of our time outside when at the villa. I was aware of the small public beach just to the side of the villa from previous reviews but it didn't trouble us as it wasn't very busy. Definitely take beach shoes as there are sea urchins, thankfully we did. 😊. Sobra is a great base for the island. Central location means you can visit Pomena/Polace one day and then visit Saplunara another day. Glad we had a car as definitely needed to get the most out of the island. Would highly recommend the e-bikes in the National Park. We were greeted by Ana's mum who was super friendly and very helpful. Ana was very helpful and reached out via text a couple of times to make sure we were OK. The use of the kayak was brill. Our son loved that.

Stefano was very responsive - gave clear instructions and recommendations as well as checking in to see if we were happy. All amenities listed were there and the place looked bigger than in the photos. We found it very helpful to be able to do our washing in between cities (washing machine, capsules and washing line line). About 5 minute walk from metro and train station which will take you a 5-10 minute ride to the "main" Napoli station for all your daily adventures. Only slight thing to note for future guests is the uphill location which was a little difficult when traveling with a suitcase. But it wasn't awful at all and didn't impact our stay negatively, just made a fun challenge at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend for those wanting to explore in and around Naples with an apartment that feels homely and more than a place to rest - with a very responsive and proactive host.

Such a wonderful place to stay! The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, even giving us a lesson on how to cook BBQ properly. They provide kayaks, perfect for exploring the island, and the peaceful surroundings make it an ideal spot to relax. The house is fully equipped with everything you could need. Truly, the most helpful hosts we’ve ever had! 100% recommendation!

Everything worked out great, fast and friendly communication!

Once again...beautiful location & superb view.

We had fantastic holidays! Helena and her family are very friendly & lovely people, doing everything that we could completely enjoy our holidays. The house is very beautiful & nice located. We missed nothing & felt directly like home.

We loved it here! So relaxing being so close to the lake, and having a kayak to explore with was amazing. The lake house is great, really beautiful and had everything you need, I could have stayed longer. We want to come back in the future!

We had great time in the Grscica bay. We liked the little stone house a lot. Sandra is a wonderful person and all the communication has been very pleasant.

To stay at “Oasi delle Sallinelle” is a one of a kind experience, in anyway - inside and out! You can have a private and relaxed time at the property and its connected beach as well as cultural and culinary excursions in Cefalù! You’ll be surrounded by a precious, natural and wild environment, although your NOT in the middle of nowhere and there’s a lot of lovingly designed rooms and spaces for comfort and coziness. We felt at home, relaxing inbetween gardens of fruits, olives, cuddling kittens and two sweet dogs, that gonna melt your heart. Dario e Agnes are the most lovely and committed hosts, we could have dreamed of. They try to fulfill every wish, in such a warm and friendly way, that let us participate so easily and get sustainably connected to this special place, its animal and human inhabitants! 🥰We’ll come back as soon as possible and recommend, to all the people, that enjoy an individual, natural but also comfy vacation, to do the same! Grazie amici, ci vediamo presto! ♥️

a little must-have the place is beautiful, the exteriors, the pool are very clean... a little disappointed by the inside of the cottage which deserved a little maintenance, the bedroom windows did not close. There are indeed dogs in the "village" who barked a good part of the night...a little hard if you are a light sleeper but despite its small negative points, the place remains magical. The breakfast offered is royal! fruit, charcuterie, cheese, bread..... Overnight stay I couldn't try the activities, it would be a pleasure to come back to fix it

We were travelling from New Zealand 🇳🇿 all the way to Korcula, pupnatska luka beach specially to stay in this area my Dida (grandfather) grew up in. Boni was just amazing she greeted us when we arrived, showed us how to work everything and even did our laundry to help us out. She would come and check on us daily for the power and the place was just perfect for what we were doing beautiful beach, plenty of space the batch was immaculate and had all the amenities you needed right down to kayaks, outdoor shower, comfortable beds. Highly recommended Boni we will be back for sure thank you so much!!

Amazing stay in the Villa. It is situated in a beautiful and peaceful private estate in the hills aboce Spoleto. We loved eating out on the terrace and relaxing at the lake on the property. Lorenzo was super helpful and accomodating. We will be back!

What a magical place, the village and the house are so peaceful, you are truly surrounded by nature of all kinds. I have never seen so many wild flowers with a carpet of purple autumn crocuses attracting bees, butterflies and other insects. In the 4 days we stayed we saw, or heard, over 35 different birds, including a flock of Bee-eaters, Kingfishers, Tree Sparrows and Spotted Flycatchers to name a few. It wasn't ideal weather for bird spotting either so I imagine there's plenty more to see! The river was crystal clear and whilst we planed to explore further afield we didn't need, or want to, we were more than content to spend our days wandering around the village, following the river and eating every night in the amazing restaurant that is a 15 minute walk from the house. The house is bigger than it appears in the photographs, is very comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. Milos is an exceptional host and I would definitely recommend you stay here!

My fiancé and I had the best time staying here in Positano. While there are a lot of stairs, the view in itself is well worth it. We made sure to try and go only up the stairs once per day, which helped. It is super close to the main point of town, and there is even a little sandwich/food spot that has wine, fresh mozzarella, fruit, etc. that we bought to bring up to the room to make our own dinners. Francesca was also super responsive and helpful when it came to arriving in Positano a little early and our early checkout time. She gave local recommendations and her dad was also super sweet! Unfortunately we did not have time to check out the private beach but from what we saw it looked super nice. The deck was awesome, too, and we sat out on the swinging chair multiple nights in a row. If you’re thinking about booking this place, do it! We will definitely be back should we find ourselves in Positano again!

We loved our 3 nights in the dormitor national park. The hut is perfectly placed for activities in the Tara Canyon, hikes in Durmitor and little bike rides to lakes etc. There are no restaurants nearby but Diana’s family cooks delicious food and breakfast and the little hub is good for cooking. The two dogs are lovely and cuddly. The only thing is that it’s quite warm up top where the main bed is as the cottage heats up during the day. A fan or aircon upstairs (there is one downstairs bit doesn’t really cool down the top) would be perfect. But that’s only a minor detail. Absolutely recommended.

I have rarely been surprised so positive by a place where I already had very high expectations. Michele, Clarissa's father, has made a real jewel. A manicured estate in every detail with a breathtaking view of the lake. A movie setting. Very clean and equipped with every comfort; when you arrive you find it already cooled with the air conditioner, Michele welcomes you with a toast to introduce yourself and in two seconds you are in paradise. The garden (which looks like a golf course) overlooks the lake where for guests there is a pedal boat from which to admire the nature around (woods, royal germs and herons) and the wonderful sunsets that color the water and the sky. The amount of services offered is endless. It is a location that is comfortably in the luxury category. Michele is a great landlord and a great cook.
