I'm going on holiday in October half term with my children (ages 8, 5 and 2) and my mum. We want some sun but don't want to fly long haul. Would prefer self catering (apartment or villa) but would like a pool (gated if private). Does anyone have any recommendations of locations / accommodation? I'm thinking Cyprus or Greek Islands but have no idea where to start!


Many thanks in advance

We tend to do Tenerife as it's a good balance between flying time (4hrs) and guaranteed year-round sun. Friends of ours have done Cape Verde which is cheaper but less developed.


I'd happily recommend Baobab Suites in Costa Adeje, Tenerife which are self-catering apartments but with hotel facilities (restaurant, pool, sports club, spa on site).

I once went to Corsica in Oct and although it was winding down for the winter it was still really warm / hot and absolutely beautiful. I caught the end of the Hairy Bikers latest cookery show yesterday and they were there. Have a peep on catch up and see how gorgeous it is.

    • These neighbours dislike trees period. They refused to have lost trees replaced by the Estate on our communal green. They don’t like the leaf and seed droppings. These make the grass look ‘messy’. Similarly, they don’t like my policy of leaving the tree leaves where they lie on the grass verge - hence chopping the overhanging branches. It’s like living in the 1950s. My neighbours have three gardeners with leaf blowers who come twice weekly to remove every leaf from their front lawns. Their grass is cut weekly and all the  cuttings put in multiple brown bins. It’s an outdated mindset of the moneyed classes in my view. But sadly, I’m very much in the minority.
