Europe may be the second smallest continent in the world, but it has a remarkably diverse and interesting landscape. On its north side is the Arctic Ocean, on its west is the Atlantic Ocean, on its south is the Mediterranean Sea, and on the southeast is the Black Sea and Caucasus Mountains. The continent is made up of fifty countries. The smallest European country is the Vatican, and Russia is the largest by area. Here you’ll experience a variety of cultures, cuisines, and accommodations.

When most people travel, they look for a change of scenery and adventure. But they do miss the comforts of home especially when they go to a foreign destination. Fortunately, if you visit Europe, your vacation goals will be met as several lodgings offer home-like stays. Check out our list of the top homestays in Europe by scrolling down below.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 14, 2024.
