Best Luxury Self-Catering Family Villas & Resorts in Europe

Why Choose Luxury Self-Catering for Family Holidays?

Even if you don’t want to cook on holiday, kitchens/kitchenettes are useful for the odd meal, especially breakfast, heating bottles and baby food, and making snacks and picnics. They also give you an excuse to buy yummy local produce from markets and farm shops, and can be handy for those with picky children.

Self-catering in Europe is also a great option for those wishing to holiday with grandparents, extended family, or another family or families – you can club together for more space and better facilities than you might afford individually, take turns giving one another a break, and be sure the kids will have playmates. In summer destinations, you may also have your own pool at your villa. For ski holidays, apartments offer family-sized space that is harder to find in ski hotels. If you don't want to cook every night, for some villas and apartments, we can arrange a chef or have meals delivered.

Classic family-friendly self-catering options are villas, gîtes and apartments. Some stand alone, with the amenities of a village or town nearby. Others are part of hotels or resorts, so you have the space of an apartment or villa but the use of the hotel or resort facilities - for example multiple swimming pools, kids' clubs, sports facilities, bars and restaurants - all within a short walk of your accommodation.
