If you're planning a holiday, or just want a distraction from the increasingly chilly autumn weather, you're in luck. Airnbb has revealed its most "wish listed" homes by UK travellers over the last year, and they're a pretty eclectic selection.

From a Colombian cabana made of bamboo to an art and book-filled loft in Scotland, the top ten includes some seriously quirky and seriously stunning places to stay. Some are perfect for couples, others lend themselves to friends' holidays, and all of them are making us want to start saving immediately. You have been warned!

1. Lussuoso Vista Incantevole, Riva, Lombardy, Italy

This holiday home has a lot in its favour: it's situated around 80 miles from Milan, sleeps six, has an outdoor pool and is surprisingly affordable. But let's be real: that view is what really makes us want to stay here.

From £66 per night

2. Hector Cave House, Santorini, Greece

Santorini has a reputation as one of the fanciest Greek islands and this holiday property definitely has the 'wow' factor. It was carved into the Caldera cliff more than 250 years, and was originally used as a wine cellar, which explains its beautiful and completely unique architecture.


From £220 per night

3. Villa Labenne, Aquitaine, France

This lovely villa in south-west France sleeps up to eight people and has a location that will really tempt nature lovers: it's situated on the edge of the Landes forest, only 3km away from the Atlantic Ocean. Just looking at pictures makes us feel calmer, tbh.

From £137 per night

4. Old Smock Mill, Benenden, Kent, England

This super-cute Kent windmill only sleeps two people, so it's ideal for a romantic getaway or mini-break with your bestie. If you want to venture out while you're there, Canterbury and Folkestone are both less than an hour's drive away.

From £175 per night

5. Three-bedroom riad in Marrakech, Morocco  

This idyllic riad – a large traditional house built around a central courtyard – is the perfect base from which to explore the culture, cuisine and shopping of Marrakech. The historic Moroccan city is only a three-and-a-half flour flight from the UK, you know.

From £66 per night

6. Romantic Cabana with view, Armenia, Quindio, Colombia

This charming cabana (or cabin) is made from bamboo and sleeps two people, so if you're looking for an unusual couple's retreat, it could be perfect. It's situated 11o miles from Colombia's capital city, Bogotá, which is an 11-hour direct flight from the UK.

From £30 per night

7. La Salentina, Tricase, Apulia, Italy  

Situated in south-west Italy, this dreamy semi-detached house has glorious views over the Adriatic Sea. It sleeps up to nine people so it's ideal if you're planning a very civilised kind of friends' holiday.

From £61 per night

8. Art-filled loft, Edinburgh, Scotland  

This beautifully-decorated loft in the Scottish capital definitely has the curiosity factor: guests can sleep in what's described as a "secret bed box" hidden behind floor-to-ceiling shelves. The loft also has more than 100 books to browse, so if the weather lets you down, you can curl up indoors with a good read.

From £90 per night

9. Luxurious stone villa in Crete, Greece  

How many people can say they've stayed in a converted cave? This unique holiday studio is pretty compact, but does have a kitchenette and dining area. There's also a balcony with views of pretty Kissamos Bay.

From £44 per night

10. Trullo Aromatic Green, Ostuni, Apulia, Italy  

This trullo – a traditional small round stone house with a conical roof – is perfect for folks seeking tranquility: it even has its own hammock for afternoon naps. Foodies will find plenty to enjoy, too, because it's situated in the Apulia region of south-west Italy, renowned for its delicious olive oil.

From £79 per night
