Great Budget Ski Resorts – Morillon 1100

2 December, 2017

Ski holidays are perfect for adventure-seeking families, but they can also cost a pretty penny. This does not have to be the case, however, and I think that Morillon 1100 is a great choice for families seeking a quality ski break that won’t cost the earth. This charming Savoyard village in the Grand Massif region has everything that you need for a memorable family holiday, including a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, superb skiing, good food and plenty more.

There is nothing better than escaping the doom and gloom of the UK during winter and jetting off somewhere to soak up some sun with the family. You are sure to return home happy, refreshed, tanned… and to a number of envious friends! If you are looking for a sunny winter holiday but you or somebody that you are travelling with has mobility issues, it’s a given that you’ll have to pick a destination that’s highly accessible.

Milan’s Secret Side: 5 Unusual Attractions

8 November, 2017

When people think about visiting Italy, they usually think of touristy cities like Rome and Florence. While these are fabulous cities that are world-famous for their attractions, sometimes it’s more fun to leave the masses of tourists behind and go off the beaten path. For this reason, I often recommend visiting Milan, which is a hugely underrated city and has many hidden gems that are rarely uncovered by holidaymakers. Milan is primarily known for being a global hotspot for business and fashion, but it also boasts a wealth of awe-inspiring attractions… if you know where to look. Fortunately for you,

Chilly, Crazy, Cool: Hair-Raising Family Fun in Les Contamines

7 November, 2017

Picking the right ski resort for a fun family ski holiday can be tricky. Ideally, it will be somewhere that caters to families, has a friendly atmosphere and plenty of facilities and activities so that you can all have a fun-filled trip and create many happy memories together. My recommendation? The Les Contamines ski area at the base of Mont Blanc. Les Contamines is a family-friendly place where you will find a real sense of community in the charming village (which dates back to 1758!). This means that it is a great place for a leisurely stroll with kids –

Europe has many magnificent cities, but often these are crammed with tourists which can take away from the magic.

There are many cool experiences to immerse yourself in in Madrilenian culture, but here are a few of my favourites – remember to have your camera ready at all times! Only got 48 hours? Check

Sliema

Soak Up the Sights and Secrets of Sliema in a Weekend

15 August, 2017

This summer I recommend the charming city of Sliema in Malta for those with a passion for culture. In addition to the high profile attractions, it is the perfect place for leisurely strolling the streets and getting a feel for the town. It also has a lovely climate! Sliema is a quiet residential coastal town with a rich history to uncover. It was once the home of Malta’s aristocracy and developed into an upmarket residential area with beautiful villas, town houses and British Victorian buildings lining the promenade. Seeing the potential for tourism, the town underwent a huge development and

Novalja

Novalja: The Croatian Capital of Clubbing

11 July, 2017

Clubbing holidays with the lads are great fun, but – instead of heading to the usual hotspots – you should always be on the lookout for new and exciting places to check out. This summer, why not jet off to Novalja on the Croatian party island of Pag? If your troops love huge clubs and cool electronic music festivals, then this is a guaranteed winner. Read up on thrilling water sports to try in Novalja here! Where? Novalja is somewhat of a hidden gem, but those who have visited “the Croatian Ibiza” will testify that it is one of Europe’s

Los Cristianos

Los Cristianos on a Budget

15 June, 2017

Looking to treat the family to sun-sea-and-sand this summer? Finding the right destination can be tricky on a tight budget – you do not want to end up somewhere overcrowded, but equally you do not want to spend a fortune in a luxury area. Los Cristianos may not be known as the most budget-friendly area of Tenerife (for this you will want to look in the north of the island), but if you are seeking golden sandy beaches and luxurious facilities then I have a few suggestions for affordable family-friendly hotels on the south east coast. The gorgeous beaches, lively

13 June, 2017

I know many parents who worry about taking their older children on holiday as they fear that they will become bored and grumpy. This is understandable (especially with teens!), which is why I always suggest picking somewhere that will provide plenty of opportunities for action and adventure. Marbella on southern Spain’s Costa del Sol is an excellent destination for families with older kids as it is known as a glamorous city with a great beaches and an even greater climate. Not only this, but its impressive natural surroundings mean that there are dozens of thrilling activities to try. These activities

Lido di Jesolo

3 Reasons for Families to Love the Beach at Lido di Jesolo

12 June, 2017

Italy may not be the first place to spring to mind when planning an affordable sun-sea-and-sand holiday, but it has a hidden gem that I am recommending as this summer’s top spot for families on a budget. Tucked away in north-east Italy near Venice is the sunny purpose-built beach resort of Lido di Jesolo – an area dubbed the “Venetian Riviera” by tour operators. This friendly beach town is shaped by tourism, so you can be sure that everything is very clean, safe and well-organised. Not only this, but Lido di Jesolo has plenty to keep the little ones, as
