Family Villas
With the privacy and independence a holiday villa can provide they are the perfect choice for families. Unconfined by hotel rooms, timings and formalities of dining, families can relax and parents don’t need to restrain their children from having fun and making noise. Many of our luxury family villas have their own nanny flats for those taking their own child-carers and our family-friendly service includes grocery shopping on request. Chefs or cooks can also be organised for you so that you can spend quality time with your children.
Family days out: Few will want to leave the privacy of their villa, especially with a private pool to splash about in, but for those wishing to venture a little further, our Villa Advisors can advise on all sorts of activities to keep little ones amused. Activities include learning how to milk a goat and make cheese at a Provencal farm, exploring the underground tunnels of Siena, enjoying a children's painting class in the Cote d'Azur and gelato tasting in Florence.
Child-friendly villas: If requested all our vacation homes can be equipped with highchairs, cots and pushchairs, DVDs, toys and games. Our Villa Advisors will advise you what facilities each villa has and just how suitable for children they are.
Child safety: Our villas are regularly inspected for safety, especially with children in mind. Our expert team of villa specialists will advise on any potential hazards, such as drops from pools, and recommend alternative family villas where appropriate.
