Villa tips - what should I take?

[FedUpofPeepShow]

We normally holiday in hotels on a B&B basis, fill the kids up with the buffet and then eat out in the evening 😄
This year we've decided to book a villa instead and I'm really excited about having our own space, but don't want to play cook/housekeeper all week, or spend a fortune on condiments etc that we have to leave behind.
Any tips for things to take wit me to make life easier? Def bringing my own coffee and travel mug in order to walk to the beach every morning 😁

I did this for the first time last year. We needed nothing, the villa was so well equipped. But we did do a mammoth supermarket shop the minute we landed.

Top tip. When they tell you there's champagne on board the plane don't order a bottle and drink it. Shopping was... Different... So. Many. Crisps. Foreign, wonderful, crisps. Huge, bags of crisps.

@AlwaysFreezing I love that! Drunk shopping in a foreign supermarket- bliss 😆

We always bring the following.

Carbon Monoxide detector

Sharp knife

Washing powder with some dishwasher tablets, ditto some toilet rolls and two kitchen rolls, some black sacks, happy to leave them behind, but I refuse to go down the aisle of mundanity on holiday.

Foreign supermarkets are for fab fish counters, different wines and side order of that the Fook is that thrown in.... 😂

More convertor plugs than you think you will need, ditto usb plugs.

Cork screw

Double check what coffee maker it has. Bring an Aeropress if unsure.
