Top 5 Lavish AirBnBs

For many, traveling doesn't just mean seeing places you've never been to but also being able to see the area through the eyes of a true local. For the most authentic experience, hotels can feel very distant; because of this, Airbnb has risen in popularity over the past few years. As a website, Airbnb allows you to book a visit in an apartment or room directly within a residential area so you can connect with locals and see areas that might be blocked off in a large hotel complex.

However, that doesn't mean AirBnBs are not as high in quality as a good hotel room. No; in fact, many AirBnBs can either match or exceed the best hotel standards in service, amenities, and more.

In this article, we'll be taking a look at our 5 favorite lavish AirBnBs from around the world. Though villas are typically the easiest way to find luxury in an AirBnB choice, we're providing you with a variety of options to give you multiple options for different needs.

Located on the coast of Befotaka Bay in Madagascar, this villa provides a gorgeous landscape for pure relaxation. It comes with a calming atmosphere nestled within creative architecture, filled with amenities for the whole family. Enjoy the hot weather conditions while also having air conditioning, strong wifi, a laptop friendly workspace, and a variety of books. There are also a series of games and toys for your children to ensure that people of all ages will enjoy themselves! Fitting 6 guests, the price can be easily used to justify a large-scale group trip or a smaller crowd.

In the heart of Poggibonsi, Italy rests this mansion fit for the whole extended family. It houses up to 15 guests and provides a true Tuscan experience, complete with scenic views, incredible amounts of space, and even a large, outside pool. There is also an incredible host family that owns the property and can show you around during your visit. There are plenty of rave reviews speaking about their hospitality, specifically in showing visitors their vegetable garden and allowing them to pick their own selections to prepare later in the kitchen. Of course, you don't have to accept the hospitality if you'd prefer to have more time to yourself, but these notions of tradition are what makes a lavish AirBnB experience so special, allowing you to see a side of a place you truly would never see.

This place also has an elevator, kitchen, wifi, iron, hangers, and a workspace specifically to get some work done in the event that you have to write some e-mails while taking a breather!
