Stay Cozy in the Mountains

Spain is full of diverse sceneries, from nature to museums. You will find beaches, historic structures, extraordinary houses in small towns, and more! Here's some useful information about different types of vacation home rentals you can book when traveling to Spain.

Head over to the Sierra Nevada for fresh air in the great outdoors. It's a skiing haven during the winter and a place to wander in the summer. Imagine all the activities you can do outside with a view of the mountains.

Snow Family Apartments are available on Booking.com. You have access to supermarkets, bars, and restaurants close by. Amenities include a TV, sofa bed, free WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen with some fresh groceries available. Apartments are at least $67 a night.

You can also find highly rated cottages on VRBO.com or guest houses through Booking.com. Rent a cheap and simple cabin through fedme.es.

Homes Close to the Beach in the South

Vacationing in Caleta de Velez, Torre del Mar, or the Costa del Sol area means you'll be close to the beach. The weather is hot in the summer and winter is warm. You can find many seafood or international restaurants, shops, and malls in this location.

Penthouses with views of the ocean and mountains are available on Airbnb. One penthouse Airbnb listing in the Costa del Sol area, includes 2 bedrooms, 3 beds, and 2 baths for up to 6 guests. Amenities include a full kitchen, big living room, wifi, and air conditioning. Swim in the pool or walk around the private gardens. It's close to a bus station as well. The price for this accommodation is around $69 a night. Other types of homes you can rent are studios, apartments, and flats.

Frigiliana is also in southern Spain, but a few miles away from the beach. It's a small town and it's best to explore on foot. You'll have access to sites such as Fuente Vieja, the Renaissance Palace of the Counts of Frigiliana, and Casa Solariega de Los Condes. Frigiliana is known for its white houses. Plenty of bars and restaurants are walkable for a fun and entertaining night.

Bring some comfy shoes to take the stairs at La Casa De La Nina. The architecture is breathtakingly unique. You may get lost in awe taking the stairs through the line of white houses. The price for this listing is $35 a night.

Airbnb in the Capital

Madrid is the capital of Spain and Airbnb has many options for renting a room or an entire home for vacation. The best location would be an area near the train or walking distance to access must-see historical landmarks. Don't miss out on the Madrid's Royal Palace, Puerta del Sol, Square Sol and Prado National Museum by staying somewhere else.

Although winter can be a little cold, the benefits of staying in Madrid far outweigh the chilly weather. Many of the best listings have views of the beautiful streets below or natural lighting inside for a healthier, happier, and more relaxing visit. They're not hotels, but they can still be luxurious.

An $89 a night studio listing called Estudio Centro Madrid, has a kitchen full of food if you'd rather stay in and eat. When you want to splurge, get a penthouse with a terrace in a quiet neighborhood. The $168 a night penthouse listing is stocked with books to read and has a way for you to get an effortless tan on the terrace. Some hosts have pets, so if you'd prefer a furry companion to hang out with, you have this type of option as well.

Large Spaces in the East

Barcelona is on the eastern part of the country. The city is known for architecture and history. When you're in the mood for sharing rental homes for vacation, you might find yourself in a huge creatively decorated apartment or loft. You'll have a private room all to yourself, but you will share the fully equipped kitchen, a productive area to do work or study, and an extra comfortable living room. Artsy and vintage apartments similar to this can be found on Airbnb for $32 a night.

Want to stay close to the amazing bar and restaurant scene of La Rambla street in Barcelona? Consider a B&B Suites listing with wifi, air-conditioning or heating, and access to the fridge, coffee machine, and kettle. This home has details that go back to the 1800s and was kept while being refurbished.

Girona is a city above Barcelona well known for its history during medieval times. You can still find medieval times influence the architecture around the city. The Girona City Apartment has tight security and a high level of comfort. To enter, you need to use an intercom. The apartment is decorated in white and available for up to 5 guests. It costs around $83 a night.
