5. Brand new home at a prime location (from USD 278)
This holiday home is suitable for a bigger group of travellers, where this newly built house is able to fit six. One of the best things about this accommodation has to be the large spaces around the house, and with a larger living room, it makes hanging out at the living room a comfortable affair for a larger group of people. There are three bedrooms in the house and those travelling with other families of couples can split up the rooms. During the winter, the fireplace situated in the living room is a good spot for many to come to snuggle together at the sofas. When the weather gets warmer, the outdoor area comes alive with an outdoor barbeque pit and seating area for dining.

10. Enjoy unique moments with farm animals in this timber house
This accommodation stands out from the rest due to its exterior and interior - because they are all built with timber and local stone. With a bigger common space, this accommodation can have up to six persons here. When the weather gets colder the wood burner in the living room would be of great use. Living here provides you with an experience not quite like the others. You could get personal with the farm animals that share the same land area as the house. The view from the house gives you scenic views of the mountainous regions.
