I'm after a holiday-let next August, anywhere in Europe for my family, parents, sister and 4 kids.

We need;

at least 5 bedrooms, walking distance of the sea, suitable for 4 kids ranging from 1 year - 13, for 2 weeks

If you have a holiday let or can recommend a company, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hiya

we are just back from a 2 week holiday in Santa Maria di Castelabbate in southern Italy (about 60miles south of Naples). We were 2 adults, one teenager and a 7months old baby. The place we stayed in has several appartments varying sizes but it does not feel like an apartment complex at all - more like individual villas. The area is really interesting, beaches, caves, ancient ruins and lovely countryside are all really close by. The town is approx 5-10 min walk, there are two beaches in the town (these do get very busy though) approx 15 min walk (albeit down a very steep short hill - it is not for someone with limited mobility however we managed fine with a baby buggy). Other beaches are a short drive or longer walk. It seems a place were the Italians go on holiday - lots of nice restaurants too!

I can hugely recommend, we will defintely go back (have no other connection to the place). I have attached the link address in tripadvisor in case you are interested:

My friend has stayed in a couple of big villas in majorca from www.villaparade.co.uk, looked stunning in the photos and they were very happy with it....was extended family with 6 kids under 11!

We've been using Tuscany Now (tuscanynow.com) for the last 5 years. Despite their name, they have villas all over Italy and their services are wonderful as you can arrange for cooks, nannies, wine tastings, etc. to come to you. We've only stayed at two different places as we enjoy going back, but they have some amazing looking properties on the beach in Sicily which I keep wanting to see.

Hope that helps.
