Airbnb: 5 Exceptional Travel Accommodations
Planning a new trip soon? Here are some exceptional accommodations that will inspire you!
When booking a holiday, you are always looking for the perfect hotel room or flat. It should be nice, have the right facilities and be in a good location. After the trip, people talk about great experiences and good food - but usually only briefly and succinctly about how the accommodation was. But how about a place to sleep that is a real highlight of your holiday? Something completely different that you like to tell your best friend and colleagues about in detail?
Quetzalcoatl´s Nest in Mexico
Quetzalcoatl's Nest is an extraordinary accommodation in Naucalpan de Juárez, Mexico. The residential complex with a total of 10 flats is reminiscent of a giant snake and was designed by architect Javier Senosiain Aguilar. The building extends over a height of 20 metres and a length of 120 metres. The curved shape is based on organic architecture and is in harmony with nature.
Surrounded by trees, valleys and wild animals, the property has a dreamlike garden with a water pond. The minimalist interior is bright and modern. Round windows offer a varied view of the idyllic landscape. The complex's irrigation system is based on sustainability: water used in the flats is channelled into the property's water treatment plant, allowing it to be reused for watering all the green areas.

UFO in the United Kingdom
In the heart of South Pembrokeshire, up to four people can stay in a UFO. Spacious lights on the spaceship create an even more alien atmosphere in the dark. Inside, the accommodation is bright and modern. A games console with gaming classics from the 80s such as Space Invaders or Defender provides exciting entertainment for young and old. If you want to return from space to Earth for excursions during the day, there are beautiful white sandy beaches and picturesque harbours nearby.

Windmill in Greece
In Korithi, Greece, an old windmill opens its doors to overnight guests. A long time ago, wheat used to be processed into flour there. Today, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom are spread over three floors. The master bedroom is located on the top floor, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of the sea and the idyllic landscape. The rustic style of the interior is reminiscent of earlier times steeped in history. A lot of hard work and passion has been put into the loving renovation work to preserve the authenticity of the building. Outside there is a swimming pool for private use.
