"With sun-baked hues of terracotta and shimmering mosaics over two floors, the roomy expanse emitted a Mediterranean glamour straight out of The Godfather. It came with the promise of lazy days by the pool - all to ourselves - with Mount Etna looming in the distance, and evenings spent lingering over Sicilian meals whipped up by our personal chef. With housekeeping included, we couldn't ask for more."
"Despite the stylish grandeur and peaceful seclusion, we had done what many parents do when holidaying with the new patter of tiny feet. We were trying to emulate the romance and serenity of our previous trips as a couple. But indulgent moments from our past - like breakfast on the rooftop of a luxurious Marrakech riad, or sundown cocktails from our swim-up bar overlooking the Caribbean Sea - now seemed less perfect considering our new family as it was in that moment."
A family chose a rustic Sicilian villa set in a 10-acre orange grove for their first holiday with a baby, promising privacy, a pool, mountain views, and a personal chef. The villa's Mediterranean glamour and included housekeeping initially seemed ideal. Seclusion, however, made caring for a one-year-old more stressful than relaxing. Luxury amenities and romantic moments from past trips felt less suitable for the family's current needs. The parents realised they preferred environments where children could play with peers and where social, family-friendly facilities allowed adults to relax. Recommendations toward Eurocamp emerged from friends' positive family-focused experiences.
