Family ActivitiesHaving kids of our own, we know what its like to holiday with children. There are plenty of things to do on the peninsula that are family friendly and great fun for your children and you. There are 2 playgrounds, with climbing frames for small children and basketball rings and football fields to keep older ones amused too, within 200m of our properties. Sorrento also has a great adventure playground. Take a look at some of the attractions the kids will love and you’ll enjoy too!
When you get back from the beach or a days sightseeing there’s plenty of space in the back garden for the kids to run free, kick a ball, ride bikes or play in the sand pit. Two of our houses also have table tennis tables. Inside there’s a selection of videos and games for them to play. The freedom of self catering allows you to prepare meals or snacks you know they’ll eat, when they want to eat. All our houses have a laundry too, so the convenience of being able to put a load on to keep on top of those never ending changes of clothes is great. More about our family holiday options » |
