Apartments/villa in a hotel

[Thehistorygirls]

I spend so much time looking for these, and it's so hard - please does anyone have any tips?

A 3-bed apartment or villa situated within a hotel - i.e. with use of hotel facilities. This is for a summer holiday and I'd consider pretty much any warm European country: France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, all associated islands. Literally anywhere. I just feel this shouldn't be as hard to find as it is! Any and all ideas welcome

We have stayed at this hotel in the south of France, both in the hotel itself and in its apartment block.

Absolutely lovely. They take pride in being 'impeccable', and they achieve it. We love it there. The service is friendly and obliging. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is utterly delicious - especially the buffets and the desserts and the cheese trolley.

The beach is 5 minutes from the pool, and they have a stretch cordoned off for the hotel.

The apartments are not within the hotel itself, but across a very minor road, and you get all the hotel amenities.

We stayed at festival village in Salou

They had sister hotels closer to the beach but this was 6 mins walk away

Ah I have also spent lots of time looking for this! 3 bedrooms is hard to find tbh. Sometimes you can find 2 beds plus living room and the living room can be used as a third bedroom. There are various 5* hotels that have villas but they cost several kidneys.

Have a look at:

Aphrodite Hills, Cyprus. Watch out though as some of the accommodation is a drive from the facilities.

Hotel Suites Villa Maria - Tenerife

What facilities do you need ? Eg do you need kids club? Self catering facilities?

Martinhal Sagres has 3 bed places

We stayed in Aphrodite Hills. Agree some of the accommodation is far from the restaurants. Also pick your accommodation carefully. We paid £££ and the "villa" was decidedly average. Nice pools though. Food on site was a bit chips and but to be fair that's what my kids want!!

Eurostar’s Las Salinas in Fuerteventura has apartments/villas as part of the hotel. The didn’t have one for the dates I wanted so I didn’t look in great detail, but it seems they are an option.

Oasis Parque on the Algarve is a country club setting. Not a hotel but has similar facilities that all the villas and apartments share. What do you want from the hotel?

These are all really helpful thank you! Kids are 13 and 8 so no kids clubs facilities needed.

www.regencycountryclub.com has at least one three bed apartment or La Manga might suit you well.
