As family travel planners our primary focus is to find accommodation options that we know are family friendly and will make your vacation stress free.
Families have different accommodation needs when it comes to planning their vacations. For some a kids clubs is a priority, for others it’s a swimming pool with a small selection of kids activities and then there are those who just need a bike, a hike or a kayaking option.
We have experience in planning all different types of family vacations, for all different age groups (babies, toddlers, tweens and teens) but one thing this is consistent and that is that the accommodation is family friendly and falls into the upscale or luxury category. Upscale and luxury properties can be reviewed and managed as there is a smaller, more manageable subset. Mass market portals like Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com change their offerings/listings constantly making it more difficult to manage a portfolio and maintain a certain standard.
As part of our planning process we would work towards your budget and provide you with a selection of choices that meets your preferred style and configuration in a certain location. The choices presented would generally be from properties that we have stayed at; our clients have stayed at; have a reputation for excellence. A selection of these have been reviewed here. If you need some advice drop us a line.

Hotel De Russie Hotel Review
Location Oasis are hard to find at the best of time but deep in the heart of Rome? This five-star hotel (part of the Rocco Forte Collection) is that fertile patch in an otherwise arid desert that can be Rome. Located in the centro storico (historic centre of Rome) between the Spanish Steps and Piazza …

I fell in love with Borgo Pignano the moment I set foot on its soil, I can’t explain it but there was an immediate sense of tranquillity that came over me, you know the feeling when you pour your first gin and tonic or glass of wine after a long day? I have arrived! Location …
