Planning our first proper overseas holiday as a family next summer and thinking Northern Italy or Austria (or perhaps a week in each) - DC will be aged 8 and 10. Want hotel or apartment complex somewhere with good family friendly facilities (swimming pool, playground, food to suit fussy eaters, maybe table tennis / tennis or similar, suite with double room plus twin or bunk bedded room) but don't want to pay over the odds for free childcare that we won't use. Needs to have places to visit nearby (eg castles or boat trips or flat cycle routes).
Any recommendations? Have found a few possibilities on Italian Family Hotels website and Kinderhotels but difficult to know what they are really like!
