Has anyone got any suggestions of villa holidays they've had that have been good for two kids under two? We are looking for somewhere that's warm in late May/early June, our two girls will be 20 months and 4 months old then...


We are looking for a private villa with pool, preferably with sandy beach nearby and nice port/town to visit locally. Also relatively short flight... We like Greek Islands and South of France but have been thinking about Croatia/Spain/Sardinia maybe...


Any suggestions of where other couples with young children have holidayed successfully?

hi I can highly rec the alykanas beach resort hotel. in alykanas zante(or zakynthos) greece. We went there when I was pregnant and plan to go back this year with our 2 yrs old. The resort is very quiet with a selection of bars and restaurants. Most restaurants have childrens play areas. We didnt have a bad meal the whole time we were there. There is a fab bar called catacombes about a 5 min walk away. the hotel is lovely big playground, swimming pool and toddler pool. jacuzzi, lovely restaurant/bar. It has tables out on the sea front so can eat watching out to sea. The best thing is the beach. Its right on the beach and the sea is very shallow walk for 5 mins and only up to your knees so great for toddlers and its warm. Like getting into a bath rather than the sea. It was lovely. The resort is quiet but that suited us but walk along the beach and you get to alykes which is a much busier resort so best of both worlds. there is a little land train that goes up to the hills that the toddler would like. also you can get a horse and cart up to the lemon tree restaurant just outside the resort which is a lovely eve out. You can get boat trip across to kefalonia or go to the waterpark or a trip to the shipwreck. Lots to do and we loved it.

We've just booked Villa Pia in Italy, very baby-friendly so you won't need to lug loads of baby bits over there, plus they provide lots of baby purees, milk etc. Hven't been before so can't give you more info till April but have a look around the website. It has a private pool but no beach.

When my kids were that young we used to book villas in Provence with Meon, not too hot and an hour or so from the beach. We found most of our time was spent wondering around village markets for that days food with the occasional road trip to Monte Carlo, Italy or Cap Ferrat for beaches and shopping.


The other benefit was we could drive down overnight with the kids asleep in the back. Looking back they were some of the best holidays we ever had.


We also used to take the benefit of not being linked to school holidays at that age to do some long haul trips with overnight flights for quite a low cost. Our best was the Beau Rivage in Mauritius, amazing with kids and just a dream holiday but not stupid prices like the really expensive ones on the island.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
