Earth house holiday rentals in Italy

Our stay with Fulvio and Ornella in their beautiful house in Moano was simply unforgettable! The lovingly furnished family home exudes a very special charm. Each room is equipped with a lot of heart and numerous family-related items that give the house a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were particularly impressed by the great outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, which is perfect for sociable evenings outdoors. The well-kept garden with the small pool offers a wonderful oasis of calm. With three cozy bedrooms, we had plenty of space, and the parking right in front of the house in the small village was very convenient. In just 30 minutes you can reach the coast and the harbor of Imperia – perfect for day trips to the sea or the surrounding area. Really a very special place to feel good!

This house is in a beautiful and quiet spot. Flavia will give you great recommendations to local restaurants and shops. As it says in the listing, you do really need a car here as you're not even in a village, but when you do have a car you then have easy access to Cefalù, Parco delle Madonie and smaller local towns. This was an emergency three night stay for us, as we had a cancellation elsewhere, but the house ended up being our favourite of the three places we stayed. The house itself has beautiful tiles throughout (no doubt due to Flavia's ceramicist father), an excellently stocked kitchen equipment cupboard, comfortable furnishings and wonderful outdoor spaces. Flavia even arranged for the pool to be opened early for us. She was one of the best Airbnb hosts I have met. Thank you!

There are no words to describe the beauty of this place or the hospitality of the family taking care of the house. We stayed here for a month and had the most wonderful time. The house has everything you need, the terrace is a great place where to hide from the sun and the garden with the pool is just amazing. BTW, the pool is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. The family working for the host are the most welcoming & kind people. They threw an incredible welcoming party for all the guests - dozens of self-made pizzas, local wines, prosciutto.. Moreover, they even organized a wine tasting in a local vineyard in Villa il Pozzo. I could continue forever with this review, but the most important thing is that we felt welcomed, loved & still had our privacy & we made friends for a lifetime here. As per the location, it is in a lovely small town with a little shop, 1 bar and 2 restaurants. The town is located near Florence and many other small & incredibly beautiful towns & villages (that are definitely worth visiting!)

We loved Pippi's place. Her tullo is perfectly renovated and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed having breakfast outside, the setting is peaceful. We had the pleasure of meeting Pippi's mom who lives next door and gave us good advice. We will recommend this place if friends want to visit this beautiful area.

Chiara's place was a magical experience, to stay in a rock cave or sassi was something so different. The apt was clean, and well appointed. Her instructions for check in were easy. The location of the casa was near everything. And the little garden in the front was quiet and peaceful.

Wonderful house, the outdoor area is beautifully designed and harmoniously integrated into nature. It has many small terraces in the outdoor area where you can stay. Both the flora with the various Mediterranean plants and the pink granite rocks give the outdoor area a great touch. A real oasis - simply heavenly. The interior is simple and functional. It has everything you need to take care of yourself. We felt very comfortable and will come back!

Amazing location, great hosts and many things to see near by.

Federico’s apartment was a peaceful and lovely place to come home to after each day of exploring, or just rest and enjoy the sea view and breezes away from the crush of tourists, even in mid April. With the exposed beams, stone and plaster work, and unusual antiques, you really feel the history and character here. Federico was super responsive, and very friendly and helpful. He supplied us with one space heater, which we found necessary for the chilly early spring nights. Dressing warmly is a good solution, but be careful not to wear socks on the stairs, as they are very steep and very slippery!

This place was amazing, the views were some of the best I have ever seen. The Place was super tidy, really spacey and had everything you need for a comfortable stay! I can't stress enough how beautiful the views were, we were stunned, will certainly be returning!

Cosy apartment with real fire

We had a fantastic stay at villa arenada for a few nights. The villa is absolutely stunning, a very luxurious place with more than everything you could need. The villa has the benefit of the resort (concierge service and daily room cleaning) we were able to order dinner to the via from the hotel restaurant which was a great addition. Edoardo was so helpful and always at the end of the phone, helping us sort out dinner etc. The villa is located a short drive from the resort in a private road with other villas although felt very secluded and private. There is a small town nearby (Pula) which had supermarkets, restaurants, cafes etc. Thank you for a lovely stay! Would definitely recommend.

This was the best holiday. The best house, town, food, wine, pool, views, everything, and that's not even including how amazing Ramona's parents were. Genuinely we had the best week, and will 100% be returning soon. Thanks!

We had a wonderful stay at this house. We were two families skiing for a week. The room layout worked really well for us with two doubles, and two twin rooms. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining area was very homely. The short drive to Valtourneche ski lift and locker worked really well and it was nice to drive up to the Cervinia lift some days. We enjoyed Alpage restaurant and Ristorante Gourmand, a short drive away. Thank you.

Lovely home in a beautiful pedestrian street, walking distance from all Valtournenche shops and restaurants, as well as many hiking trails. Overall the chalet was very comfortable and perfect for what we were looking for. Host was a great communicator - very proactive and responsive to any needs she anticipated we might have, as well as questions that arose. Only very slight downsides are that the kitchen is quite small and not very well equipped. We made it work for our purposes, but it can be tougher to cook more extensively. The beds are also not the comfiest but again, totally fine for our purposes!

What a gem! Montesalce was everything we hoped it would be - a beautiful and serene family-owned farm surrounded by Umbria’s picturesque landscape. We ate dinner at Montesalce 2 nights in a row for convenience, but those meals turned out to be two of the best meals we had in Italy! Home cooked with fresh ingredients, plus they went the extra mile to accommodate dietary restrictions. My only regrets is that we didn’t have more time to spend at Montesalce!

Montefegatesi is a very well-kept town. Alessia's house is really well kept and the surrounding landscape is enchanting. It is an ideal accommodation for a retreat in the peace of nature. From Montefegatesi, there are several well-marked routes, even for non-experts. We'll be back!

We travelled to Valeria’s stay for Easter weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed the place. Valeria was immensely hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed, the place was clean well equipped and garden very well groomed. The outside area was beautiful and provides a lovely spot to witness the sun set on evenings. Highly recommended and thank you!

First of all, I would like to thank Oscar for his warm welcome. It is a place of amazing beauty and full of peace. The rooms, the colours, the overall atmosphere, the authenticity - everything made my heart happy. Oscar lives nearby, but we felt like we were the only residents. In fact, it is the pictures that do not convey the true beauty of the villa. You will definitely be satisfied and happy if you choose to stay here. I rarely write reviews about places I visit. But now this is really worth my time and energy. Good luck! Warm regards.

Fantastic host, fast communication and it is a lovely authentic Roma home. I would return here for sure!

Davide's house is in a quiet village and away from the tourist hustle and bustle of Aosta or Courmayeur, but close enough to visit them. It has good restaurants and entertainment at night. The house is very comfortable and has everything, especially beautiful views of Mont Blanc. Davide's recommendations were very helpful. Thank you very much for everything!

Incredible space with two bathrooms and plenty of beds to sleep several people if needed. We were two couples and felt very comfortable. There is some noticeable street traffic, but not bad at all. We slept just fine! Paola was easy to communicate with and helpful with minor booking hiccups. She recommended great restaurants and helped with parking information too. Highly recommend!

The apartment corresponds exactly to the pictures and we felt very comfortable in the very traditional cave apartment. We also found the terrace with the beautiful vineyard roof wonderful. The car has to be parked 5 minutes on foot, but you also have your peace and quiet in the evening and at night. And yet you can quickly walk downtown with great restaurants and great ambiance! We loved Scicli and his warm people!

The house is located in a peaceful and beautiful area where the locals were extremely friendly and helpful. Villa Elisa was well-appointed and a perfect base from which to explore San Marino, Rimini and San Leo (to name a few). Thanks to Luca's excellent recommendations we also discovered superb swimming pools and restaurants.
