Family Summer to Europe Guide
Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
We love a summer holiday bathed in sunlight, and when it comes to sun Europe delivers every time. The continent also happens to be home to many a family-friendly hotel, and we can help you handpick the perfect one for you and your brood. Our experts have travelled extensively throughout Europe and try and test the best in luxury resorts, boutique hotels and villas that actually walk the walk when it comes to families (yes, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it).
There is also so much to choose from and each destination offers its own charms, so you should start with the why and what of your family summer holiday to Europe rather than the where. If you're after fabulous food (which will delight even the trickiest of tiny people), cultural cities, classical ruins, (for older children) and of course, sandy beaches galore, then France and Italy are obvious choices, and for good reason - they offer a little bit of everything. If you are looking to reconnect and get the children away from their screens, Sweden is the place to go. The Scandinavians are laid back and lovely, plus the stunning Narnia-esque landscapes are sure to capture the imaginations of the whole clan. Lapland is equally beautiful in summer as it is in winter and you can throw the family into outdoor adventures such as kayaking, fishing, sailing and forest walks spotting moose, reindeer and bears. Alternatively Greece's island speckled sea offers everything a family summer holiday could wish for - bath-like waters, balmy evenings, delicious food, sugar-cube villages and captivating history.
From outdoor adventures and beach days to food and culture, family summer holidays to Europe have something to offer every family. Throw in our wonderful local Concierges who are always on hand to help, plus our partnership with child-approved party people Sharky and George, and you have yourself a family summer holiday to remember.
