If you are hoping for an exciting holiday this summer, and don’t want to break the bank, then read on.

Homestay offers you the opportunity to discover great towns, cities and villages around the world, for an affordable price. What’s more, you get to experience the place like a local, meet fantastic new people who can introduce you to the local culture, and feel like you are at home, away from home!

Homestay holiday homes and apartments are available in countries around the world, but we have decided to focus on the best 5 star Homestays in Europe.

Enjoy!
