Please recommend me a shorthaul holiday (Spain? Ballearics? Italy?) with a baby and 2 pre teens

[Magpie1976]

Baby will be 5 months and dds 10 and 12. Looking for somewhere to make it feel a bit like an actual holiday..... would prefer somewhere providing baby equipment and ideally meals / transfers included.

Will be making up bottles so any advice much appreciated.

Thanks x

I don't have anywhere specific to recommend but i always use this website to help find somewhere to stay... www.bestchildfriendlyholidays.co.uk/spain-balearic-islands/

Thanks ricecrispie looks like a good website. Anyone else got any recommendations?

TUI Family Life hotels have lots of the baby equipment, crèches and baby lounges. Not been but they sounded very good for traveling with a baby.

The First Choice ones are AI and come with transfers, baby equipment, Splashworld range is fun for the pre teens. We've been to Magic Natura with First Choice which has a waterpark and a wildlife park and can swim with sealions etc and that was fun and easy. Been to Estival Park one, less keen and one in Menorca which was fun. There's also the Holiday Villages but they are better for under 10s.

We used to go to Florenza Residence in Sperlonga, Italy. It's about an hour south of Rome on the seaside and perfect for families with kids of all ages. It's a family owned "Residence" (you rent an apartment with kitchen and cleaners and linen service) and their staff were available to babysit, thought mostly we'd just take the baby with us because the Italians are so accommodating and wonderful. Waiters would insist on holding my baby while I ate.....!
