A B&B in Lombardy, Italy
A night’s stay at this Italian B&B involves waking up in a wrought iron bed underneath an ornate stucco ceiling and chandelier. A striking checkerboard floor leads you to your own private bathroom within the romantic 18th century residence. Located in the charming town of Chiavenna, bordering Switzerland and within close proximity to Lake Como, Palazzo Salis has three large rooms available to rent, with the option to add an additional one or two single beds within each room at an additional charge. Breakfast is served in the spectacular dance room, and guests are welcome to enjoy their own lunch within the sprawling garden grounds.

A B&B with lake views in Kerry, Ireland
The rolling green hills of Kerry are on full display from this cozy private room within a converted barn in Killarney. Much of the barn’s 150-year-old character can be seen throughout the house, most notably in the rustic kitchen and in the bedroom itself—which is furnished with a king-size and single bed and has exposed beams and a private bathroom. In the mornings a full breakfast spread is served, including fresh orange juice, fresh farm eggs, and homemade soda bread and scones. The B&B is perfectly placed to explore the best of Kerry—the hosts even offer private car tours of the nearby Ring of Kerry, Dingle, and Cliffs of Moher.
Price: From $137 per night
A farm stay in Duizel, Netherlands
The location of this room for rent couldn’t be more picturesque— it's inside a guest house surrounded by a serene meadow on a working farm near the town of Duizel.

Host Karin serves a generous and freshly prepared breakfast spread every morning, and there is plenty to see on the farm including sheep, chickens, goats, and ponies.
