We're planning on going to lanzarote in november with DS who will be 20 months, and am just worrying slightly that I won't ever be able to take my eyes off him if we hire a villa with a pool. We would like a pool and would spend a lot of time in it, but would like to relax outside sometimes without worry of DS throwing himself in....
we went with him in february when he was 11 months, and could 'block off' the pool area with a sun lounger on its side against the gap between 2 terraces (if that makes sense?), he wasn't on the move much then, and never tried to get past it, so you could read a book while he was there playing with his ball and not worry too much (but obviously keeping an eye all the same).
There is no way that would work now, he climbs everything and is really active and nosy, I feel like I would spend my whole time on edge (and I will be 4 months pg).
So, have been trawling the internet for villas with gated pools (or a seperate walled outdoor area) and can't find much that isn't 5 bedroomed or 'luxury' ie. really expensive.
So, mumsnetters, any of you been and got any villa reccomendaions for me? Or am I asking the impossible???
