As the weather starts to cool down here in Australia, and with the European summer fast approaching, Airbnb has revealed where Australian travellers are heading to in Europe – with Italy topping the list.
Top booked countries in Europe by Aussies this European Summer:
Italy
United Kingdom
France
Greece
Spain
Croatia
Portugal
Germany
Netherlands
Ireland
Malta
It’s no wonder Italy is a popular destination following the effect of the smash hit TV series, ‘The White Lotus’ featuring Villa Tasca from Season 2 which is now on Airbnb.
However, if a European summer isn’t on the cards this year Airbnb has also collated a selection of European-inspired Airbnbs right here in Australia – see below. From a Spanish vineyard villa in the Hunter Valley, NSW to a cosy British inspired cottage in Arthurs Seat, VIC to a West Australian take on a Greek cycladic dome home, you can feel like you’re holidaying in Europe while staying downunder.

“We know Aussies love travelling in their own backyard and exploring the many incredible destinations our country has to offer, however as a nation of travellers it’s also clear that Aussies are keen to follow the sun for a European summer getaway with many looking to enjoy the iconic scenery, culture and surrounds in some exceptional overseas Airbnb properties,” said Susan Wheeldon, Airbnb’s Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand.
“However a European summer is not necessarily feasible for everyone and there are some Aussie Hosts who have clearly drawn inspiration from abroad and are offering incredible Euro-style listings that will create a similar experience right here in Australia.
“With our revamp of Airbnb Rooms announced last month, Australian guests can also find even more affordable options for a break abroad or at home this season and benefit from the chance to meet someone new and experience the place they’re travelling in like a local.”
There are private rooms in more than 60,000 cities and towns around the world and are a great way to travel to favoured European destinations, offering a more affordable way for guests to experience local areas with in-the-know Hosts.
