Can you help me find this holiday?

[namechangedincase23]

We have a DS who is three and are looking to go away for a week in early September.

Because of DS, we don't want to be in a hotel room as we won't be able to talk at night in case we wake him up.

So, I am thinking of an apartment, Villa (expensive though) or mobile home.

I'd like somewhere warm, with things for him to do and near a beach.

I've looked at Eurocamp in a static caravan, which seems like quiet a good option, but I am a bit nervous it will be full of people doing aqua aerobics to loud music in the pool and karoke nights, which is not my thing. I'm still pretty tempted, but don't know which park is good.

A Villa would be nice, but it's very expensive and I think DS would be bored. I looked at Martinhal which looks great but £££

An aparthotel type thing would work too, but again I don't want somewhere with loads of full activities.

I'd like a mix of stuff to entertain a three year old and maybe things to see. I don't want to go anywhere that's like Blackpool with sun.

I'm looking at Portugal, Italy, South of France (though the Vendee looks nice, but would it be warm enough in first week of September)

If anyone has any recommendations I would be hugely greatful!

Most places will still be plenty warm enough in early September. In your favour though, prices will be a lot lower.

I would look for an apartment or small house/gite somewhere -as you say with space for DS to sleep while you two stay up later.

Don;t worry about entertaining small DC. I found that my DS was happy with a bit of sand or some water or some stacking cups. Easy to please.

Save the Eurocamp static for when you have more than one DC and older . Ideal then - but otherwise you pay the same as a nice, private house but are in a caravan.

Euro camp is nothing like Aqua aerobics or karaoke. Tend to be mainly Europeans at the parks it is not butlins abroad. You can choose a quieter park as well, but will have less facilities.
