If you’re traveling with a small group (like two couples or a few friends), this condo in Lungiarü could be your perfect fit.

One recently raved: “Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. If you're considering a trip to the area, this should be your number one choice.” And is it any wonder, considering the condo has everything from a full kitchen to laundry, a sauna and a hot tub?

Talk about a memorable stay—this home is on an actual farm, complete with cows, chickens, goats and other animals, per reviewers. It’s located in the village of Kastelruth, which is a great option whether you’re looking for outdoor activities, cultural things to do or a mix of both. And with reviews like this, I have a feeling it’s going to book up fast: “Arthur’s place was spectacular! It’s nestled in the middle of [the] Dolomites with amazing views and surroundings. The apartment is spotless and very clean. Furnishings were very new and cozy too.”

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms: three bedrooms, one bathroom

Anyone traveling with kids is sure to appreciate the setup of this condo, which features two bedrooms with king beds and a third with a bunk bed that’s perfect for little ones. It also has a complete kitchen perfect for nights in or quick snacks between meals, and an outdoor area with mountain views, a table and plenty of seating. Plus, tons of guests have commented on how clean the space is and say it’s the perfect size for families. “We stayed in this beautiful house for five days with our family. The view from the terrace was even more stunning than it looked in the photos, and it was truly one of the greatest joys of our stay,” wrote one.

Is staying in an *actual* castle one of your travel dreams? (It’s certainly one of mine!) Well, I suggest you get to booking this one-bedroom apartment that’s inside a 16th-century castle ASAP. The exterior will have you feeling like you’re stepping into a fairytale—but not to worry, the apartment has a modern design and amenities like a full kitchen, laundry, plush couches and beds, parking and more. The description also mentions that it’s an ideal location to hit some incredible Christmas markets, so if holiday travel is in your plans, you’ll want to jump on this one.

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms: two bedrooms, two bathrooms
  • Price: from $378/night          
  • Best for: a stay with attentive hosts
  • Pet-friendly: no

One reviewer called this, “legitimately the best stay anywhere I have ever had,” so of course it caught my attention. They went on to share, “Words cannot describe. The greatest view from a stay that I’ve ever seen, and the most hospitable hosts EVER. Rita, Karl and [their] children supplied some of the best meals I’ve seriously ever had straight to our table.” Considering that, I’d say it’s definitely worth adding on a few meals to your stay—that is when you’re not busy heading out for a walk along the mountain streams or visiting the Hochgruberhof farm, which makes its own Alpine cheese.
