it will be me, dp, ds (5), dd (2) & my parents. we need 2 separate but adjacent houses/flats. nowhere too boiling, but it would be nice to have a pool - south of france i guess, or italy.

anyone have any ideas?

lake garda?
we are staying here - never been before, but might fit the bill - they are 2 bedroom apartments but have swimming pool, restaurants, etc.

btw we rented a great villa in the S of France recently that had an annexey bit but still joined on to the house would that be any good?

might it interfere with their babysitting responsibilities though? We don't want them having a better time than us do we?
