holiday help - villa or apartment for small family?

[monniemae]

I am crushed by household admin this year and cannot face trawling any more for holiday ideas.

Can anyone recommend anywhere brilliant they've stayed with small children? We want to go away for a week in September, ideally to Spain on the Costa Brava, or Greece though we've never been, or Mallorca or similar. We're a family of two adults and one toddler. Budget up to ?750 pw depending on flights. Prefer self catering though open to options.

Any suggestions?! Thanks in advance... and sorry for sheer cheek of laziness...

We had several wonderful holidays at mousses in lefkas in greece. Small community of houses round a pool with kids club. Our kids met lots of friends and raced around, a restful holiday that we thought would never happen!

Mousses is fab but I don't think you'd do it for ?750. We stayed here with our then 14 month old - http://www.padre-aviles.com/reviews/reviews.htm - it was great, and flights to Malaga are pretty cheap and plentiful.

You could get an apartment on paxos, gorgeous secluded and quiet island near Corfu. You'd probably want to hire as well though. Its worth it as the place is magical.
