Pondering taking our kids (9 and 11) and my parents in May half-term - any experience/recommendations? My reasoning is that none of us like really hot weather but we do enjoy a relaxed, poolside half-board type holiday, and I'd really like to take my parents to see Venice before it's too late.
Ideally we'd like a smallish clean hotel that does half-board and has family rooms for us and the kids (or adjoining rooms). We'd like to visit Venice, spend some time by the pool(will it be warm enough?), take a boat trip, do some wandering etc - we won't be packing loads of sightseeing in though, realistically. The hotel doesn't need to be luxurious but my mother is a clean fiend...any recs (or critique!) very welcome please
