Our 10 Favorite Airbnbs with a Terrace
Hosts use the word terrace for everything from a real outdoor room to a narrow balcony with two chairs. We searched Airbnb's hidden terrace filter on every continent, looked at the photos and kept only whole homes where the terrace is the reason to book. These are the ten we would book first, from a cliff-top villa on Santorini's caldera to a penthouse looking at the Duomo in Florence.
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 whether the terrace is shaded or open to full sun, and whether any neighbours can see onto it. If you plan to eat outside in the evening, it is also worth asking whether there is lighting out there.
How we chose: we searched every continent for Airbnbs with a terrace, kept only whole homes rated 4.85 or higher whose photos show the terrace, and picked the ten we would most like to stay in, at a range of prices. Nobody paid to be on this list.
