Properties listed on luxury villa rental platforms must meet some unusually high standards, which is amply reflected in their booking value and is quite higher than that of five-star hotel and resort type properties. With the rise of global luxury travel, Le Collectionist, like many other startups, use a tech-based approach to connect luxury property managers with high-rolling travelers who prefer opting for luxury vacation rentals and niche agencies that curate lists of rigorously vetted, exclusive properties. The essence of luxury travel today is to re-experience the world in a way that makes travelers feel the wonder and awe they’ve experienced as children when their entire world was new. There was a large outdoor swimming pool, with a terrace, BBQ and pizza oven.Nowadays, when five-star hotels and resorts aren’t that uncommon, true luxury travelers are in the search for stays that not only meet or exceed standards but offer truly exceptional comfort and unique experiences. It was a fairy tale like villa, complete with two restored trullos and three bedrooms.

Trullo Della Ghiandaia was one of the highlights of our trip – we didn’t want to leave it. We spent a magical few days in Puglia last year stayed in our own trulli on the outskirts of Alberobello.

Trullo Della Ghiandaia, Alberobello, Puglia, Italy For this post I have chosen luxury Airbnbs in Europe, all of which come highly recommended from previous guests.ġ.

I was amazed at the variety that is on offer.

I am an Airbnb Associate, so I spent hours searching the Airbnb website and found everything from ski-in ski-out chalets, to luxury villas in Santorini as well as countryside farmhouses in Italy and France. I published a post recently on the best Airbnbs in Ireland and it proved so popular that I decided to look for similar properties elsewhere. From luxury villas in the Mediterranean, to a tree house in the forests of Norway, these luxury Airbnbs in Europe will give you plenty of travel inspiration.
