Searching for child friendly villas with pools can be a tricky task.  What exactly does “child friendly” mean ?  Maybe they have a cot and high chair and think that’s all that’s needed.  Eek.  We have travelled with babies, tots and children and realise that to make villas child friendly take so much more effort !

We are proud to describe this villa in France as being great for kids.  The most important thing is safety and whilst everyone likes villas with private pools, having a fenced pool is definitely number one on the list.  (The pool being heated is a nice to have – it is). read more
