Did you know that over 40% of Freelance Villas customers are families? From couples travelling with their own young families or teenagers, to parents hooking up with other families to share a large villa, or multigenerational groups where granny and grandad come along, there’s something for everyone in our family friendly villas selection.
For over forty years, we know there’s specific criteria which makes a villa more family friendly than others, and not just the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. When it comes to the winning family-friendly formula, here’s what parents are looking for to ensure their villa holiday is fun for all.
Firstly, safety is top consideration. Most of our family friendly villas have wrap-around gardens, walls of fencing to ensure little ones can’t wander off at whim, some with gated entrances too.
Villa Metapothia

And let’s not forget sun safety, – covered terraces, shady gardens and either cooling mountain or sea breezes are a shoo-in.
Villa Encinas

Thanks to our bespoke digital travel guide exclusively available for Freelance Villas customers, you will be able to access recommendations for the best family friendly beaches, restaurants and entertainment nearest to the villas, too.
Villa Argiro
