Our 10 Favorite Airbnbs with a Balcony
A private balcony is where a holiday home earns its view, but Airbnb has no balcony filter in its menu. We searched the hidden one on six continents and kept only homes whose own balcony we could see in the photos. These are the ten we would book first, from a Florence flat facing Brunelleschi's dome to a cliff-top villa above the Algarve's Benagil coast.
Every home here is the whole place, not a room. Prices are the full Airbnb total for 7 nights, 6 March 2027 to 13 March 2027, for 2 guests, including fees and taxes, checked on 24 October 2026. They change daily, so open the listing for today's price.

Before you book
Before you book, ask the host which rooms open onto the balcony and whether it gets sun in the morning or the evening. If the view matters to you, ask too whether anything new is being built nearby, because a balcony view can change between one season and the next.
How we chose: we searched every continent for Airbnbs with a balcony, kept only whole homes rated 4.85 or higher whose photos show the balcony, and picked the ten we would most like to stay in, at a range of prices. Nobody paid to be on this list.
