Santa Clara Guest House (Coimbra, Portugal)
The Santa Clara Guest House located within walking distance from Coimbra’s cultural sites combines old-fashioned charm with modern amenities. Sofia, the owner, can recommend some of the best restaurants in the area – don’t forget to ask! The B&B is also located next door to Dos Pequenitos, a miniature park featuring replicas of famous buildings and monuments in Portugal.
La Ferrade (Bordeaux, France)
This beautifully furnished B&B is just a 20-minute bus ride from the city center. It’s a great value for money, and the owner, Yolande, is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. She can prepare a great breakfast spread, and she can fill you in on some of the best restaurants in the area.
Iris (Alaverdi, Armenia)
Iris is the perfect stop if you’re in Armenia if you’re traveling to Georgia. The city of Alaverdi itself isn’t that remarkable, but the Sanahin and Haghpat monasteries nearby are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and cannot be missed. The Kobayr and Akhtala monasteries are worth a visit, too. The owner, Irina, can even help you arrange tours to these monasteries. She will even prepare a full breakfast and an Armenian dinner – don’t forget to pay a little extra!
Zuza (Lisbon, Portugal)
Located right in the heart of the historic Chiado district, Zuza B&B is one of the best places to stay in Lisbon. Luis, the owner, makes it a point to give his guests a proper welcome and can offer some great tips on the best places to explore. He even created his own app so you can still get his personal recommendations! Breakfast is always a delightful experience, with a great selection of homemade jams, pastries, eggs, and fresh fruit.
The Stop (Galway, Ireland)
This nice, quiet property in Galway offers one of the best breakfasts you will ever have in a B&B. It’s in a great location, and the owners will be more than happy to recommend restaurants and places that you can explore during your trip.
Parliament Penthouse Boutique B&B (Budapest, Hungary)
The rooms at this B&B range from traditional to modern with big shuttered windows that allow plenty of light inside.

Alavera de Los Baños (Ronda, Spain)
This calm retreat located in Ronda’s historic quarter offers great views of the Andalucian hills, as well as a nearby riding school. The lovely garden, beautiful rooms, and a huge breakfast spread on the patio are guaranteed to make your stay a pleasurable one.

Pension Herbert (Salzburg, Austria)
While a delicious breakfast, a good shower, and comfortable beds can be found in many other B&Bs around the world, what sets this place apart is the owner. Herbert is friendly and knowledgeable and can give tailored recommendations to help you make the most out of your trip to Salzburg. The B&B, at ￡60 per night, is an excellent value, and it’s just a short bus or tram ride from the city center.
Toledo Station B&B (Naples, Italy)
Toledo Station B&B is brilliantly located right in the city center, close to some of Naples’ best sights and just minutes away from the best Neapolitan pizza and gelato. This B&B offers themed rooms, with the owners’ sense of humor evident in the tiniest of details.
