Hoping you lovely people will have Dom inspire for me!
Trying to find a small ish hotel where DD18+ can sit in the sun & study, so must be quiet. No foam parties etc. And warm. Be great to have cafes and restaurants walkable for lunches and dinners. Option for a teeny tiny bit of sightseeing or watersports, to break up the study.
love some ideas please! First week in October. Only a week so don’t want long haul really. A bit of luxury would be fab!
Huge thanks!!

We stayed in a beautiful area of Greece - Koroni in the Peloponnese - and the owners of the place we stayed (who live there all year round) said that the end of Sept and the beginning of Oct are the best weeks of the year there.

Studying? I’ve seen good intentions before. Never works. Go after the exams!

Taormina, Sicily springs to mind.

Most DC like to enjoy themselves on holiday so this usually means waiting. Accept your DD is different. We just went on holiday at Easter and left books at home. We treated it as a break in studying.

@TizerorFizz ahh she’s a girl of many talents and can combine enjoying herself alongside study. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Albeit no foam parties please!

Hotel Tirreno in Calabria is small, has beautiful gardens, stunning views, a private beach and is within easy walking distance from the cafes and restaurants in Parghelia (which also has a train station). There’s a free shuttle in the evenings to a larger town called Tropea.

Another vote for Sicily. Cefalu is also nice.
